2nd round is probably their ceiling. Maybe they could be OKC in a 7 games series, but I dont see them getting past Minnesota or Denver. LAC in the first round will be a dog fight for themFirst post in this area. I stay quiet, but honestly this team looks formidable.
Chance and skill make up a lot of pro sports. How do you feel about our Mavs?
Still have a key player returning
They beat Denver this season already. It just depends on which Mavs show up. The gritty ones on this run, or the one that gives up.2nd round is probably their ceiling.

Lively will be back. Think he played some last night.Title is their ceiling
Best player on the planet is on their team, no matter what the MVP narrative is right now. (SGA....give me a break)
Two legit stars that can take over a game at any time.
Size, length and quickness that can defend and rebound.
Hopefully Lively is healed by the time round 1 starts.
Gafford/Lively combo is so big for this team.
PJ/DJJ can lock down with size
Green can be the pest
If THJ gets on a burner, this team is pretty much unstoppable. However, that probably isn't likely....but does happen.
Coaching could hold them back as Kidd makes some dumb mistakes.
Regular season and playoffs are two completely different things. They will be hard pressed to go 6 with Denver in the playoffsThey beat Denver this season already. It just depends on which Mavs show up. The gritty ones on this run, or the one that gives up.
That is very unlikely.Regular season and playoffs are two completely different things. They will be hard pressed to go 6 with Denver in the playoffs
For the most part true, but the west has been an insane battle for positioning where every game counts.Regular season and playoffs are two completely different things. They will be hard pressed to go 6 with Denver in the playoffs
With the players they acquired at the trade deadline they have a fighting chance.They beat Denver this season already. It just depends on which Mavs show up. The gritty ones on this run, or the one that gives up.
Gafford was a good get for you guys. Lively reminds me alot of Robert Williams, but Timelord developed into a very smart defender over two years if 15 mpg bench play. I think Lively can turn out the same wayWith the players they acquired at the trade deadline they have a fighting chance.
But you are correct.

To me they're too streaky of a team to be over confident in the playoff.
Rd 1 to Dallas owwwww.With the players they acquired at the trade deadline they have a fighting chance.
