That's what everyone said about the 04 Lakers. They got swept. Nobody gave SA a chance last year either. Dallas is better than you think, and I'm not a Mav's fan. They've got everything clicking right now and usually the teams that are firing on all cylinders are the ones that win the championship. In fact I think the Suns have a better chance of knocking off the Mavs than do the Spurs. But I don't think the Suns can beat the Spurs. I think the Mav's weakness would play to the advantage of a team that runs, which is why I think the Suns have a better chance of beating them than do the Spurs.
Actually the 04' Lakers weren't swept, they got lucky and won game 2 in overtime. But you have to remember last year the Pistons were defending a title and not quite hungry enough. This year they're hungry as hell to win another and their play has proven so. I know they haven't played a GREAT team yet but thats what happens when you're the #1 seed in the playoffs.
Personally I just don't see the Mavs as a legitimate THREAT. They've proven year in and year out that they can't put it all together in the playoffs. But hey, thats why they play the games right??//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
