So what should the regular season consist of, never playing in the East? Only playing teams in your conference?

Meaning... no one cares about how good the Mavs looked in the regular season with Caron.
Wrong, I care.
No, the regular season doesn't count now, and it doesn't matter if Caron isn't playing, but if he does, he brings a dynamic to our starting lineup we've been lacking.
I'm praising my dudes for their success in the regular season, which for a lot of teams that's all they got. Like the Lakers this year.

Hence the complete difference in our two franchises....................
The day the final game is over, the regular season is done. That's it, no carry over, it don't matter any more, matchups adjust, preparation adjusts, game planning, rest, days off, media scrutiny, etc etc etc etc. It is ALL different than the regular season. How can you possibly not get that?
I DO get that...
I just find it ridiculously ignorant to say that the regular season doesn't matter. If we want to disagree on whether match-ups mid-season counts against a certain team, that's fine, and we'll agree to disagree...
But the regular season sets up the Playoffs. It matters.
And all I said was the Mavericks looked like legit contenders in the regular season with Caron, and asked Nowitness how many games he watched.
I'm sorry for stating the Mavericks were playing good basketball when Caron was healthy, I should never state such a thing in June.
I'll know for next time, thanks.

Neal with it.
Sorry, can't be mad at you after that. Quite possibly the best player-expression I've heard in a while. I can't lie I love that kids game though.
I'm fine with us having the label of regular season champions, we haven't done anything recently to get rid of that label, but hopefully we can start our rep fresh with a trophy.
A lot of cats talk about how they want to have multiple championships to cement their legacy. But for this squad, they know they just want one. Dirk, JET, Kidd, Marion, they all just want one. Tyson and other cats on the team have life after Dallas basketball, but for a lot of these cats, one would be enough. Not that their careers are over after that, but so many greats finish without one, and they'll rest easy knowing they have at least one.
And no disrespect taken about the Lakers championships. It's greatness. The Lakers are a cornerstone franchise in this League. It's Boston and LA. I wouldn't have it any other way. I know that's your team, and that's your history. Our team will never compare to the Lakers and their winning ways, but you know what, that's cool, I'm okay with that.
I just want our time in the spotlight for just a year.
Have our celebration at the start of SportsCenter.
Fact: If Miami blows this Finals after choking away Games 2 and 4, after everything that happened since The Decision and The Gratuitous Party One Night After The Decision, the Internet might explode. I'm not kidding. You're going to log on the next morning and there will just be a picture of a mushroom cloud.

idiot? bro your the one who made a devean george appreciation post when he was with the mavs and was dead serious about it
the heat attack the basket late in the 4th they win. simple as that. but lebron was just standin around along with all the others.
you play lazy against the zone you will die against the zone
2) So every time the Mavericks fall into a zone, they get no credit whatsoever for keeping the Heat from scoring?Think about how stupid that sounds... The point of a zone is to keep people out of the paint... And everytime the Mavs fall into that zone, the Heat start shooting jumpers and dribbling the shot clock out... Doesn't that mean the Mavs are doing a good job in the zone? They're getting it done on that end, aren't they?
But yeah, they get no credit for the zone doing exactly what it's designed to do...
