Imagine if the Mavericks didn't coast during that last month and really pushed for 70 wins. A first round loss after 70 wins woulda been terrible lol. Let's just sit here and hope the pieces fall right into place and the stars are aligned for the Mavericks to win the championship. However, last year was a pretty good opportunity IMO, Goldenstate in the first round then Houston/Utah in the second then Phoenix/SanAntonio in the third. That to me, is probably the best road any Western Conference team can have. At least we wouldn't have had to play the 2 or 3 seed in the second round. Anyways, although we have beaten them before, we are 1-1 against Phoenix in the playoffs and 1-2 against San Antonio in the playoffs.
