11 Straight Wins
I would have to say the Mavericks got the best bargain before the trade deadline of any team. We seem to have picked up three guys that are dedicated to winning. Of course we lost the first game after the big trade but that was against a good team, but since then, they’ve won 11 straight, gunning for more as the rest of the season is not nearly as difficult as the beginning.
The Lakers have lost 3 straight so grabbing that top seed is not impossible, with the Nuggets not far behind as well.
With Terry out, we seem to have enough talent to pick up the slack, especially Beaubois putting up some great numbers in the last 3 games.
Also I must admit, Shawn Marion seems he’ll do anything to get a ring and thinks the Mavericks have that chance. He could easily be that 20 plus points and 10 rebound player but plays conservatively to win, making his teamates better as well in the process.
