The Cavs should have won last year championship if Irving and Love was available back then, very tough team in the clutch.
Mavs may have lost but their ball movement is crisp even in OT. They don't go into iso standing around mode like the rockets do.
D'bustelo Russlow, lol, they picked him because they were unsure that PorzinGOD will be this good this early, yet choosing this project out of the dumpster ??

The Bulls lost. Wonderful. Why are you all that happy though about the Mavs? They were supposed to be a horrible team in the lottery and here they are going toe to toe with the championship contender Cavs..
I personally never counted the Mavs out especially with Carlisle at the helm. He's lead them to the playoffs every season he's been a head coach except one. I think the Deandre leaving them in the dust, Cuban said he was going to rebuild if Deandre didn't sign with them, and the Parsons/Matthews injuries lowered everyone's expectations.

how they couldn't? When they are so serious injuries and their starting C is 31 y.o Zaza with a half decade or so history of missing at least 1 month with various injuries and who can't jump over a newspaper? I mean the roster is the roster. As good as the coach is their roster is bad. It is remarkable and if I was a Mavs hater which I am not, I wouldn't be happy at all. Esp with the way the Rockets who were actually thought to be "contenders" have been playing.
If you are a Mavs hater then you are happy whenever they lose. When they had the 60 game season it was a joy to see them crumble in the first round and get beat by an 8th seed. Also, their loss brings the Rockets closer to the 5th seed. A Cavs loss does nothing for the Rockets. So it makes perfect sense to be happy they lost.
