"Us" referred to Mavs fans as a whole, not just this erudite board. Cuban and his PR machine are the seducers, not anyone here, haha.
I think the Mavs will be good, I just don't think they're much of a lock this season to contend (WCF). Or, tbh, even to almost contend (good showing in the second round). I think a reasonable goal at this point is for them to get out of the first round. That seems realistically achievable with a bit of luck. (Of course, I would be thrilled to see them exceed those expectations, but don't want to set them up to disappoint.)
I totally hope your assessment is accurate!!
Well, it actually sounds like my assessment is not too much different than yours. I'm thinking that "get out of the first round" and "a good showing in the second round" should be an expectation. I certaily wouldn't call them a lock for the WCF.
But, dog gone, why am I even in this thread? WE'RE NOT DONE WITH THE OFFSEASON!!

That's mostly what I do around here. But it's usually just background noise. You should have seen my Danny White joke recently. You'd have spit your orange juice on your phone.
