text: how far do yall think the mavericks will go this year??? the mavs are 60-22 this year in the regular season, equaling the best franchise record from 02-03.  that year they went to the conference finals to play san antonio and have dirk nowitski sprain an ankle and them loose the series.  this year they have already a 1-0 lead on the memphis grizzles and will most likely play san antonio spurs second round and if they win pheonix for conference finals.  do you think they can get past the spurs and the suns to play most likely detroit pistons in the finals? they can't get past san antonio. san antonio has a lot more experience in playing big games and that experience will carry them over dallas.
