We'd probably be the 3rd or 4th favorite to win the title. Now our realistic best-case scenario is winning one playoff series.

I don't think it matters how many statistical reasons you come up with to say the Mavs don't need Rondo. Steph Curry just put up 51 reasons why we do. With Rondo, Harden and Westbrook and Derrick Rose score 20 or less.

Those Harris stats total 100 minutes. That's 2 games and 4 minutes. If you are going to cherry pick like that, I hope, next time, you'll bake us a nice pie.

As for 38-14, that would only be possible if you managed to make the Rondo part of the season against all the weak assed teamed we beat before he got here. Before the trade, we were blown out be every playoff team in the West. Wright never got to double figures. Since the trade, we have won a few and been and been competitive in a few more. Its progress. But a team that can't defend guards is going nowhere in the West, even if it can score 42 in a quarter. GSW just proved again what the smart people figured out in November and December.
