Can't stand Cuban or the Mavs..but give me a break... Mavs taking a step backwards or regressing? Yea, if they play a season where half of their games are on the road vs playoff caliber teams and San Antonio is their every other home game. Some of ya'all are letting last Saturday night weigh waaaaaaayyyy to heavily in your evaluations. Not to mention...the Bucks and Grizz gave us a lot tougher fight than they should have and we lost road games (a strength even last season) against playoff caliber teams. Let's wait for a larger sample size. And even then we probably ought to ignore power rankings.
The next five (NY, Heat, Spurs, Da Bulls & Pistons) are going to give us a better gauge where we are (early on) than the first five. We need to take care of home and let nobody get comfortable playing us here and handle the heat on Sunday esp now since they are struggling to find rhythm and Shaq is hurting...be nice to see us push this win steak to 4 or more...
NBA rankings are always very biased about the last year's teams, except Stern ordered them to hate the Mavs whenever they can
