I don't know, the Mavs can still cause some damage even with their neutered roster. Sucks for them that they lost Chandler and the hobbit though. But don't count out the defending champs until they're eliminated.

I honestly like Delonte West a lot more than Barea.
Chandler was awesome but if Odom rounds into shape I think we will be fine, especially with the way Haywood and Mahini have played.

Haywood has played well. Dirk is still one of the best in the game so they are still to be reckoned with. And aren't you guys one of the Howard suitors? Cuban doesn't strike me as the type of owner to let his team go down easy after a title run. Dude is super competitive.

Unless Dirks knees magically get better they are going to have real problems. To call him a defensive liability is an understatement he just cant move.

We didn't hit our stride last year until the 2nd half.
Wrong you beat like 7 really good teams on the road early on and ended at least 5-5 game plus winning streaks. You took a step back after Dirk got hurt but Dallas was clearly the best team in
the league early on. You aren't as good even when healthy, period.
