    After all, they have a better record than the Hawks. However not as good as the shitty Rockets.

    I am so confused?

    The numbers say one thing, but should I look at the numbers? Do numbers only apply sometimes, and only to certain people?

    No they aren't because they like turtles. Turtles are slow, therefor cannot keep up with the purple spiders

    Please keep this on topic, mags. It should be taken as serious as any other threads like this

    I was told Houston sucked because they had a poor SOS. I was also told the Mavs sucked in that same thread. Then I was told the Hawks may be for real, even though they have a worse record then either the Rockets or the Mavs as well as having a horrible SOS

    I am serious... Turtles are slow and definitely not faster than purple spiders. If a team likes turtles, then logic would make them slow like turtles.

    How is this derailing? You asked if Dallas is real. I said why I think they are not. I'm staying on topic

    The national "analysts" seem to have a high opinion of Dallas. David Aldridge has called the Mavs "loaded at every position". Personally, I think they're a lot like we were last year. Strong in the starting lineup, strong offensively, but light on defense. A playoff team, but not a contender.

    Okay okay I'll play...

    Dallas are for real to be a top 5 playoff team. They've had a easy schedule so far, and it looks like they will have the hardest of the remainder games.

    I still believe they will finish around 5th, but lack the defense to get past the second round.

    Their defense is pretty stinky... seventh worst in Points Allowed. Their offense is amazing but that's the part in the game that can come and go. Their schedule isn't just easy, it's been the easiest in the league so far. So while their margin of victory looks nice, it's not exactly unexpected or impressive when you factor in their SOS.

    They've played Philly twice, Utah twice, and Milwaukee twice. Their one marquee win is against Toronto. Their other marquee matchups (Houston, San Antonio, Portland) have been losses. They've even lost to Miami and Indiana.

    They're lower half of the playoff picture... not contenders.

    No, they are imaginary. They are the square root of negative one of the NBA.

    In fact, I was seated behind the Blazers bench when we kicked their ass and I remember hearing Nic say, in his broken English, "They like pi". Silly Batum, I tried to explain that pi is an irrational number, not an imaginary number. He looked at me like I was crazy. Something must have been lost in translation.

    I like it.

    Mark Cuban hates the Rockets and Morey more than anyone. He LOVES to rub it in their face.

    To be real, is to exist outside of human imagination, the juxtaposition of a night terror forgotten upon awakening. Or maybe this is the nightmare.

    Or maybe a set of internalized perceptions. What is Dallas?
