MAVS NEWS:

[audiosway]

Let me add that I think I am intrigued how they look when healthy.  We just may not see if fully this year.    It is sort of an awkward fit and I will need to see if first.  I do like going about it in a different way than other teams.  Liked it better when it involved a top 5 player though.

I'm there with you on that. I love Luka. Still do. I really wish he would commit to diet and exercise. I would love to see that.

As far as Dallas goes, I think on defense they will be nearly impossible to get going on. What I mean is that teams generally like to see some easy buckets go in to get their shooters going. That won't happen with that front line. Chet and Hartenstein will struggle down low again Lively/Gaff and AD.

I seriously think Dallas is in their head at this point. Sometimes it's just that way. Yeah it hasn't been a fully healthy matchup this year. To me, that would be an incredibly fun series.

If Dallas draws the Lakers then the Lakers are done. IF the Mavs are healthy which I think they will be by then. LA won't be able to drive the lane and they have no big men to stop Dallas.
