I don't see T-Mac losing to the Mavs this season if we meet them in the playoffs. Plus, we have Battier, Wells, and Novak now.
How are they "ridiculous" picks if those have been the best three teams in the west over the past 2 years? Would it be more palatable for you if they picked the team who hasn't been out of the first round in a decade whose best player is one awkward fall away from the IL to win the championship?
