The Mavericks have lost back to back games to the Nets and 76ers. Lakers win tonight against Charlotte just put us in a tie with the Mavs for the 3rd seed. If the playoffs ended tonight we'd face the Spurs in Round 1. How crazy is that?
While I like the 3rd seed, the thought of #1 is more appealing. What I find more incredible than this though is the fact that 1 through 9 are only separated by 5.5 games.

San Antonio is the only team I do not want us to play in the playoffs. We need to avoid them if possible. I'm not scared of any other team, but these Spurs always take themselves to a new level come playoffs. Give me Phoenix, Dallas, New Orleans, Denver, anyone but San Antonio. lol

I'm hoping we face the Suns in Round 1 and bounce Shaq and D'Antoni in 4 games.
Crazy about the fact that we have a better record than the Spurs Not crazy about the fact that we have to match up against them in the 1st round (if playoffs started)

I don't think the Suns would stand a chance against us, not unless they could magically find a way to get a rebound against our enormous frontline, and then find a way to effectively incorporoate Shaq in the offense without losing the pace that makes them so difficult to gameplan against.
Wow San Antonio is the only team that I would not want to face in the playoffs and to face them in the first round will be crazy. But I'm so glad that were in 3 seed well deserve we had a pretty good road trip!I swear I can't wait to face PHX on the 20th!!!
What happened to Dirk's three point shooting? Kobe owns him now in that, I am surprised. I know it's been like that for most of the season, but I figured it was just a slump. This is kind of "Nick-Andersonish" of Dirk.
I with everyone else when it comes to the Suns. I'd love to face them a 3rd time. Three times a charm!!!
