Are the Mavs the deepest team in the league today?

They def. have a deep rotation which makes them very dangerous to win it all, plus the match-up problem teams have with nowitzki. I believe the Mavs will make it to the finals and beat the pistons in 7!!!

Mavs will lose to the Spurs.  Lot's of reasons for this, but the two most important is that Spurs have more playoff experiance and Dirk can't guard Duncan.  I believe they will play on Thursday.  Let's see what they can do.

I've been watching both teams pretty much all season, and due to the fact that Dallas is a more well-rounded team, I would have to give the edge to them. They have better depth off the bench, a hard-to-contain Dirk Nowitzki, an inside game, an outside game, and sound coaching.\n\nHowever, I would not count the Heat out. They have arguably the best center in the history of the league in Shaq (although he is not as dominant as he once was) as well as the up and coming Dwayne Wade. In addition, they have one hell of a coach in Pat Riley (his resume would be a cause for concern if you are a Mavs fan). \n\nThe Heat will win their fair share of games in this series, but if I had to bet on it (which I don't, but theoretically) I would pick Dallas only because most of Miami's strengths can be offset by Dallas' strengths. Miami's only true great advantage is Pat Riley, who's had more playoff experience than the whole Mavs team combined, but it is up to the Heat team to correctly implement his strategies.\n\nSeries outcome? Mavs in 7.

Go Knicks!!!!!!!----- better chance of the Devil Ras winning the W.S. than the Knicks doing anything for the next 2 years.\n\nI think the Mavs will take it down this year. Tgey have improved their defense alot and with their scoring, they are nearly unstopable.

The starting 5 of the Mavs?

not in 2007....they still have to go through the Spurs, Mavs and Suns...even with a healthy Yao and T-mac....they have to have a deeper bench to make a run for the title.

Hopefully the Mavericks will beat Miami in 6 games, maybe less.\n\nI can't stand those Miami fans saying "Mavs sucks, Dirk sucks, blah blah blah."\n\nThe Mavericks obviously don't suck.\n\nFirst they beat the Spurs, and then the Suns.Two of the elite teams in the NBA.\n\nThen, they beat Miami in game 1, and they're about to do the same tonight in game 2.\n\nDirk has the ability to play any position ranging from center to point guard. He can shoot, he can pass, and he plays good defense.\n\n!!!!!GO MAVS!!!!

Don't listen to anyone else--you are SOOOO right! The Suns are the BEST when it comes to playing offensively, and they would DEFINITELY beat the Mavs if they met in the Conference Finals..! Mavs shouldn't be up this series--Spurs should, and they know it! You can't take credit for playing well like the Mavericks have when it's free throws that have won them the past two games. Not just free throws--but free throws that were shot off of bad whistles. I'm a Spurs fan, and PRAY they beat the crap outa' the Mavericks in 7--but if they don't--I'm praying even HARDER for the Suns to beat the crap out of them, then! LoL =)

Yes, but i think each team has strengths to look at\n\nMiami: \n>Shaq: no one can cover him, Dallas wants him in foul trouble\n>Wade: not the best of shooters, still an ok shooter, but scores and carries team\n\nDallas:\n>Dirk Nowitzki: an unusual combination of shooting and power that can be difficult for defense\n\n> great coaching: Avery Johnson he will figure it out\n\nIt Only can come down to one thing: DEFENSE! the mavs showed it greatly in game one

The Spurs are 10 times better than the Heat....so i guess so long as they don't piss the refs off or the commissioner...and they can get past Dallas ...hey anything can happen in a league that is as fake as wrestling..caramel..if they were a better team there would be no problem....fact is they have one great player and one old slow guy who cant shoot free throws....fortunate for you they have a league office that does not like Cuban and plenty of incompetent refs...sorry there is no way in hell the Heat are a better team....theyre not better than San Antonio either and I dont believe they could beat Phoenix either...sorry if the truth hurts...just telling you the truth.

heat in 5. i dont see how the mavs even stand a chance, unless dwade or shaq start getting injured. the mavs rely on 1 player: dirk nowitzki. when he struggles, the mavs struggle. when he excels, the mavs excel. so as long as jason terry and jerry stackhouse continue their poor shooting, it will be an easy 1st championship for the heat, and a sign for things to come in the future.

They are currently 5th in the Western Conference right now, so they have a great shot. It might even be possible for them to pass Phoenix and take over the division, but I doubt that will happen. Of course, the #5 seed in the Western Conference has a really tough road, since they will probably have to play either Dallas or San Antonio in the first round (depending on who wins the Southwest Division). The NBA's playoff structure is really messed up.

The mavs will probably make it far into the playoffs, but I don't think they'll win it.  Too many teams will stand in their way.  They've got to fight through Western conference playoff teams and this year (like last year), any of the the playoff berth teams will give top seeded teams a run for their money.  Even if they some how make it to the finals they still have to battle the Eastern conference champs which is a toss up between Cleveland, Miami, Detriot, and Chicago.  I really doubt they'll make it to the finals this year.

MAVS IN FIVE\n\n... thats because they beat the Bucks in 4, Spurs in 7, Suns in 6, so, naturally, Winning in 5 is the only thing left since losing isnt an option.

Nothing in game 2, game three Dallas just imploded in the last half of the 4th quarter and that may have very well cost the Mavs this series.  The worst part is that Dallas is blaming the officials and not taking the blame themselves.  Miami offered no excuses when they lost the first two in Dallas, sucked it up, and now have momentum in the series.

The Mavs can play D.  They proved it against San Antonio.  However, they were a running team for years, and Phoenix is going to try to lure Dallas back into playing the fast break style.  The only way the Suns can win is if the games are track meets. The Mavs played good defense up until the last three minutes last night.  If the game is under 220 total points, Dallas is golden.  If it gets over that, they are going to have some problems.  It's hard not to play at Phoenix's pace, because they entice you to do it because they don't play defense.  However, many times your team will get a quick layup, and then the Suns will come back and hit a quick 3.  That's a winning propostion for Phoenix. \n\nSlow down just a little Dallas, even when you don't have to, make the Suns play at your pace.
