In the end you can't rule it out though. With Tyson you're talking a higher seeding, no Odom distraction (because never traded), much better vibes.

I don't know about a championship run, but they wouldn't have laid down like they did tonight IMO. The center of our defense is as soft as a marshmallow. We lack the intestinal fortitude that Tyson brought last year. There is no defensive presence in the middle. I've always thought that strong teams need strong assertive bigs. The Mavs don't have a single one right now.
Including management would not have signaled that they were not serious about competing.
