How about them Mavs though. Chandler Parsons needs better shot IQ. Nelson is playing well. I just think our defense can intensify...oh wait, we have Dirk :pound:
I'm confident the Mavs will play in the NBA West finals. People have underrated this team but they will show the doubters they are for real.

I mean, what has any other team in the West done to disprove this statement?

Now that the Thunder are in question, just about any team outside the Kings, Lakers, Jazz, Wolves and Nugs has a shot.

Not if it's #6 or higher:L

If Kobe goes down an injury (I expect him to play in about 55-60 games, that's optimistic after last season) they can very easily have a top 5 draft pick.

Howdy, DJ:yahoo:

Boy were you right about Ed Davis.

But, did you ever envision Boozer being this much of a bum?

Wesley sucks a bit of ass as well and Sacre is a complete joke.

Boozer had a decent game one, 17 and 7 in just 28 minutes. His turnovers in game 3 were awful though.

Hill had 2 awful games and a very good 3rd game, but he doesn't get a lot of hate but Boozer does? Interesting.

Young comes back and starts at SF giving the Lakers 2 good scorers in him and Kobe. Johnson sucks on offense, all he can do is provide some defense.

Oh, no....

Hill is garbage at 9mil a Season.

I didn't mention it AGAIN because I figured it was a given:noidea:.

Boozer is a bum.

Blake owned him yesterday and the game before that he had like 8 turnovers.

Um rose>> kyrie

Sure- IF he's healthy

But as kyrie continues to get better and rose continues to sit on the bench who knows?

I mean. Kyrie did just get done stealing roses starting job in the world chsmoionships and thoroughly outplaying him

Rose is def a better defender (if his chronically damaged knees hold up) but there is no doubt you can't play kyrie only to go to the hoop like rose

Kyrie can rain from 3 and get to the rim. Rose can't.

If my team was down 1 with 10 seconds left if much rather have the ball in the hands of kyrie since you have to respect his shot and can't just play 3-5 feet off him It's why kyrie had the amount of game winners he has at his early age. Play him to drive he will hit a jumper in your face. Play up on him and make him drive and he will go right around you

Rose does not have the same offensively versatility as kyrie. And it's questionable how much explosion toes can muster over 6 months after 2 major knee surgeries

But you are right. Overall with roses defensive ability. As long as he's healthy I'd give rose the edge overall. Just not scoring wise

I think you should watch more basketball.

Lebron was shooting what rose his shooting from 3 up until 2012.

You know nothing

I know last time lebron and rose met in the playoffs lebron bitched rose and rose couldn't hit a broadside of a barn with his jumper. And that was BEFORE major knee injuries.

That was one series.....As I said before watch more basketball?

Did you think Lebron was a shit player when he had a bad series against Dallas in 2011?

I never said lebron or rose were shit players

I'm just saying rose is not good enough offensively to be the best player on a team that makes the finals. Especially when who is the next best go to scorer if you need a bucket on that team? A well past his prime gasol? Noah?

Please

If rose is your only elite offensive player (and he has his limitations) you aren't going to the finals that's for sure

I disagree....they have a good solid roster.

Best roster is the east 1-12
