mavericks have yet to prove they can play with the elite teams in the nba... They havent beaten any of the following teams this year and have played them all... pacers, lakers, kings, san antonio.. all of which the mavs have lost too...
Lakers can still make the play offs i guess... they jus gotta pull it together...
Just an interesting fact... michael jordans bulls went 71-11 in one season

thats even better than the mavs projected outcome..
