I don't know how you can say this team "isn't very good." They're in the thick of the West playoff race, less than a game or two behind some teams that are undoubtedly good.
Regardless, no, I'm not referring to folks who say things like, "We aren't a contender." That's fine, whatever. And I didn't say anything about a win over Portland changing anything. I just noted that the Mavs are on pace to win over 50 games; that's a good team. Not an excellent team--not a Lakers, not a Celtics--but a good team. And recognition that the Mavs are a good team is very incongruent with the general attitude that permeates this walls after a tough loss.
