Plus, it's not like the Mavs got outplayed. They were right there--two or three inches from winning the game in regulation.
I'm not saying they'd beat these guys in the playoffs, but I really wasn't too bothered by the result yesterday. It was a weird game. That's about all I thought of it.

I'm with you on this, mostly. I've had a pretty short memory for losses like these this year. Really, during the regular season I just want to see the team playing better, and the outcome is secondary.
