More like how well they're playing with all the great value role players they picked up for cheap at the deadline when Donnie and Nico were having a nap.

Danny Ainge is a cunning bastard, I think he deliberately helped the Lakers because they aren't long term threat, and by doing that he devalues the assets of NOP, who are a long term threat, I believe this was the main motive behind the trade.

Yes, they somehow build pretty decent team. If we know that AD and LeBron missed almost 50 games together, their results are pretty good too and they might be very dangerous opponents for anyone, if both will be healthy in playoffs.

Re: WC Playoff Thread
There are teams that the Mavs have never performed well against, like the Wizards and Kincks (it took a miracle this year to beat them), the biggest example is the Wolves, Mavs either beat them barely, or lose with a healthy margin, I'd hate it if Mavs find themselves reliant on a win against the Wolves in play in to make the PO.

Warriors without Wiggins don't scare me too much, he was the X-Factor last season against us (with Looney too, but i think Wood can limit him better than Powell) because he took Luka and play great offensive games anyway.
They need Kuminga steps up but i think this is not their year.

This Bulls vs Wolves game is nuts. Wolves should be nice and tired for the Raptors tomorrow.

Magic @ Clippers (-6.5)

Warriors @ Grizz (-2.5)
Celtics @ Jazz (+3.5)
I don't want the Mavs to catch the Clippers for 5, but a Wolves & Warriors loss would be nice.

Things are breaking the Mavs way with a Wolves and Warriors L. Still dont want that 5 seed and would like to see the Jazz win this one to make the Lakers feel some more pressure.

Holding onto that 6th spot is going to be TOUGH! I hope they can pull this one.
Blazers are out, they have a good chance of being 5th/6th in lottery odds, bizarre with the roster they have.

Overrated roster. Lillard and Simons can't play together just like Lillard and McCollum.
Nurkic is always injuried and not so good.
Grant is a perfect third guy... Behind Luka and Kyrie is perfect
