Mavs winners of 11 in a row without Demps, Haywood or Terry. They got the wolves, nets, knicks at home next 3 games.
That Roddy guy is impressive.

The scarier thing about the Mavs they aren't even playing great basketball they are doing just enough to win games. They still have not played a game with their entire roster healthy. Roddy every time he gets major minutes good things happen on the floor he's been described as Tony Parker with a jumpshot.

I agree.
Having said that, the magic overpaid for Gortat and Bass. And they will have a hard time replacing Hedo's production in the playoffs.
Cavs-Magic will be a lot closer than last year.

definitely overpaid for Gortat... always thought he was a scrub who earned that contract based on some short playoff sample... Leaner Euro version of Big Turd James

if SVG wakes up & let's Dwight become more of a focal point in the offense in the playoffs then they should be able to get the Cavs' bigs in early foul trouble... i think they should be playing inside out rather than outside in.
