Bottom line the Mavs have the best record in the NBA and are putting together huge winning streaks much to the dismay of David Stern and his officiating minions.

We have the best record in the NBA and your prediction of the Mavs not being one of the final four teams in the west is looking more and more ridiculous. The little general Avery Johnson is easily the best coach in the league right now.

The Mavs do look like a more complete team than they have in the past. I know everyone thinks they are the team to beat. I am so sick of hearing the same 3. Mavs, Suns and Spurs with Detroit having an outside chance now that they have Webber and Denver having a chance once hit and run comes back into the lineup. Lakers get zero consideration yet they keep competing with the top teams even without their 2nd and 3rd players on the floor.

Gotta love them Lakers beating the Spurs on their home court last night. Bunch of kids are great. THat makes me super sketchy about tonight though. The key to this game is the boards. Lakers bigs didn't hit them like they should of last time and that could of cost them the game. I'm a little worried about 2 night in a row thing too. THe Mavs gotta be seriously tired of the Lakers owning them over the years.
