I really like how the playoffs are turning out. Spurs and Lakers gone. I think the Memphis ride is about over though. I think OKC wins it in 7 and then the Mavs crumple.
Best team in the playoffs in the West is, I think, OKC. Best player in the West is Dirk at the moment. I just don't know. I don't see the Mavs having that killer instinct all the way through. I also don't they'll keep up with either opponent from the other side of that bracket, athletically. Mavs still strike me as a finesse team.
As a mavs fan, normally id be the first to agree with you
(about the mavs not about the okc thing, who personally i think are overrated and become one-dimensional very quickly as seen in the memphis game). in all honestly im not betting any money on them until they prove they can win the whole thing. but i think they know that as a team by now. in 2006 they thought they had it in the bag, easy; 2007 that they deserved to win; 2008-2010 that they had to prove everyone wrong. i just see a completely different team out there this year than all of those previous years.
as much as i want to say "here we go again" every time they drop another big lead (like in the portland series), they just keep coming back. they might not be able to keep it up and take it all the way this year, but i, along with everyone else, have been proven wrong enough times this season that im not going to rule them out.
as of right now, they are playing the best of any team in the nba, with the most confidence and look like the most complete and deep team. thats why i think they have the best chance for the title. although the heat look very good as well
anyways that finals rematch would be incredible (incredibly exciting and nerve-racking for me as a mavs fan). talk about a journalists dream
