Let's assume Magic is right and the Mavs did not make upgrades this offseason.

Well we were 7th last year, Nuggets were 8th... Warriors 9th... Blazers 10th.

Blazers have improved, Nuggets and Warriors definitely got worse. Clippers acquired Davis and Camby but lost Brand, and are probably a 35-40 win team at best.

So which TWO teams are going to leap the Mavs as far as the playoffs? Dumb, barring injuries or some sort of anomalous meltdown, the Mavs are making the playoffs (and winning a championship)

Honestly, who gives a rats ass what Magic Johnson has to say about the Mavericks? Isn't this the same guy who said that Dirk should've hit David West in the post season last year? That statement alone proves that Johnson is an idiot without a clue.

I have to call BS on his (and many other people's) comments relating to Houston. People every year for many years expect them to do really well, but they never really perform in the playoffs. Why? Tracy McGrady is super over rated. He's very physically talented, but he's not a smart player - especially in crunch time. He's almost as bad as his retarded cousin Vince Carter - the King of poor shot selection. Tracy takes so many contested long two pointers. Again, especially in crunch time. Yes, sometimes he gets hot and they all fall in, but that's rare and it only makes him shoot more stupid shots.

The Pundits are not smart to keep predicting Houston to break through, but pick the Mavs to fail again. The Mavs have actually had success in the post-season. Also, and this is key, Dirk is not retarded like McGrady. In fact, Dirk is very smart and has proven himself to usually be awesome in crunch time. Mathematically, Dirk >>>>> McGrady.

People will be suprised again at how Houston has a solid regular season and then fails to beat a good team in the first round.

On the flip side, I'm happy to see the Mavs have low expectations.

This is one of those articles that everybody should hang up in the back of their lockers and look at each day before and after practice.

Granted.. some players should have more than just this hanging in the back of their locker.
Magic for once is a wise man.
