I just don't get the logic. Play-in also brings a tough match up against one of many good West teams. Are you really sure GSW couldn't upset us?
Im not. I think play in is gonna be stressful whether its GSW, NOP or Memphis. All good teams, and it only takes a bad day...
As for Clippers its just my personal opinion, I know we can beat them but i think we cant win a series. I think Suns are a much better matchup and the series with them would go to 7 games, which would probably be decided by veterancy, calmness and clutchness of CP3.
So in any case i think its a 1. round exit again this year. Personally I would like to avoid LAC, LAL and Jazz as I find them a bad matchups for Mavs, on the other hand, I think we can play or even beat any of Suns, Portland and Nuggets in a 7 game series. I have hope in these matchups, with LAL, LAC and Jazz I just dont see it. Its 4-2 at best with this 3 teams fully healthy. Again, my opinion...
The way things stand now, I wouldnt mind finishing seven and going through play in if a reward would be Phoenix. Besides, I dont really care who Mavs get. If you wanna win, you have to beat the best and Mavs are just not there yet with the roster. I think going for a title is, at minimum, season and a half away. Thats the point i will start caring a bit more. For now I am just enjoying this young, lovable team.
