Yes, the Wolves might be the easiest for the Mavs, but SA still can get the #2 seed.

I've decided worrying about who we match up against gives me a headache. Play it where it lies. The Mavs need to be focused on themselves and how they're playing, not what seed they get, or who they'll meet in the first round.

As madape had mentioned a couple of days ago, maybe the Mavs should just drop out of the playoffs and into the lottery.

Now you guys are wanting to lose so you can play a team that you think you can beat? Has it really gotten that bad? If you are a supposedly contender does it matter who you play? From what I have always heard is that you got to beat the best to be the best right?

Why are you guys so afraid of the Lakers? Do they just have your number? Its a mental thing, right?

I would rather see them playing the Lakers, TWolves, SA, or KINGS......than any eastern conference bottom dweller with less that 30 wins. At least Dallas has a chance when they play the "good" teams.

That is absolutely classic. I love the attitude, my friend. That's exactly how I feel.

I thnk Nellie started giving the "lets drop" option some real consideration about 10 days ago. Not sure who he thinks is the best team to shoot to match up against though. But, I suspect that is why he hasn't been flogging the team harder for their repeated recent let downs.

If they lose on purpose, they aren't contenders and they deserve to lose. Besides, momentum is important and if they go into the playoffs having lost several games in a row, they're done no matter how good they are. Just isn't gonna happen in the playoffs. I like what Dirkenstein said. Just dont worry about who we play, and start focusing on how we play.

i'd sub in the spurs over the kings..wolves are a lock because the mavs can beat them in the uptempo game

i like dallas' chances against SA because of Dirk..duncan dominates on defense in the paint but dirk can bury them from outside..plus you know fin will be fired up against bruce lee bowen

no way should the mavs play the kings in the first round..let them get through one series and then build on that like last year

It would do no good because we traded our pick to celtics for the Point Forward.

It's stupid to not try to win, all we have to do is pass Memphis, we just may be able to beat the Spurs in a 7 game series....
