So what's the point of playing the games if it's all meaningless? Let's just forget playing it out and go right to the playoffs!
The simple fact that Houston win streak happened should say "anything is possible." Can they have a repeat of their last 30 games of last season, they very well could...anything is possible.
Development, trades, injuries, etc. etc. etc. They're all going to play a role in how this plays out for Dallas and everyone else in the league. I highly disagree with you though that these 30+ games are meaningless.

But the first 50 games all those things have played a role in the standings, and the Mavs haven't taken advantage of it. At some point you have to take advantage of opportunities. And when your opponent is down, that is the perfect time to take advantage of it. You don't get the same advantage when your opponent is own his feet.
The Mavs allowed the opponent on the ground the opportunity to stand back up. And who knows, will the opponent get on the ground again? I hope they will. But why make it harder on yourself? That is the problem this year with the Mavs. They play so hjard to stay right there with their opponent and as soon as the opponent is vulnerable, the Mavs do't seize the chance to take advantage of it.
Yall seem to think that the chances will always be there. It's like saying: we'll get them next time. That may have been the Mavs next time. That is the problem. You have to grab hold.
