Tatum is getting MVP chants in Denver as the Cs are up 25 going into half.

Knicks stink

Tune to GSW-Spurs game Zach Collins is playing like we wished KP would play.
GSW will embark on a tough road trip w/o Curry, they have a comfortable cushion, but they may fall fast.

Gonna watch the end of Jazz/ Knicks first.

Was all about bringing in Collins regardless of his injury past.

The end of that GS vs SA game was wild and had some really bad foul calls.

If Mavs win at least 1 against Minnesota, they will look pretty solid for 5th place. If not, anything can happen.

I feel the same, however would it be so bad to get the 6 seed? Curry is supposed to be back for playoffs but who knows. Also maybe the Jazz pass them and alot of people want that match up. 6 seeds means you also get to duck the Suns round 2 who is really the only team I fear in the west.

Problem is that 6th and 7th seed might be just 1 game of difference. And I really don't want to play Clippers again in play-in. Jazz might now be a favourite for 3rd seed too. After this week things will probably be more clear, but at the moment it's virtually impossible to predict 3-7 seedings. I just want Mavs to win as many as possible, starting today. No matter who they play, coming in playoffs with good run and feelings is more important than getting on paper easier opponent.

The team I want in MEM, but it's virtually impossible to draw them.

Haha, I prefer the Dubs and the Jazz over 1 game series against the Flippers.

Memphis is the last team I want to see. Until CP3 comes back healthy & proves he's 100% and back in sync with the Suns, I'm not viewing PHX as strong as their record indicates. Same is true with Golden State & Steph and their whole team getting in sync.

I'm not a fan of the moves the Mavs made in the off-season, and I don't see them as a powerhouse, but they legitimately could be the best team in the West come playoff time. If DAL sneaks ahead of UTAH for homecourt, I think they dispel the Jazz in 6. If PHX & GSW aren't right, then the only team really stopping DAL is Memphis.

Jaren Jackson Jr does not get the credit he deserves. JJJ is the 2nd best player from that draft. Memphis is long, they defend, and they're deep. No reason I would "want" to see them any earlier than I needed to. Plus, Mem would have homecourt.

Bug mavs doesnt really have issues with them. Knicks we would lose 4-0 to tho. Mem doesnt worfy me ag all. Ja most overrated...ever?

If Mavs beat Jazz they should be at least 4th, they have far the easiest schedule from all those teams, Jazz the most difficult. I know that you never know how Mavs play against bad teams, but the difference in schedules is enormous. Home game against Jazz is really fantastic opportunity to get home court advantage.

The teams that scare me the most are teams with strong paint defense and can get really hot from 3, that's Jazz and Dubs, Memphis will be grind out battle I trust Luka to win.

Mavs can win or lose against anyone in first round. Home court advantage would be huge though. And they have good chances to get it.
