NO question about it,dallas is the one of the best teams in the NBA,they have one of the best record in the NBA too,but real championship would be crowned on playoff.Lets not start biting our nails and breaking champaigne this soon either.Records indicate past and direct towards future but they cant guarentee any championship.We can get that moral from the NFL (indianapolis colts) every year,poor indy fans are forced to cancel their hotel and air book every year from the superbowl destination(miami this year). The greatest obstacle in the future will be SUNS,and mavs wont have to worry about SPURS thats a good thing.Suns have the toughest defense and blazzing offense.The combination of Steve Nash,Borris Deaw and Omar stodmire is always dangerous trio in any court..so we should be careful right there.Their perimeter shooting capability has always been dangerous to any opponents and nash's 3-pointer skills could harash Mavs. But this could never scare Mavs best starting 5-players in NBA.So this years championship(one of these two western Power house). Hurri
