NTAMM-
You have to understand that KG is the biggest closet Mavs fan on any internet board. It pained him to have to rank them behind the Lakers. Every fiber of his being wants to believe that the addition of Shawn Maridone will propel this team past all of the other better teams in the west. Forget that:
-Jason Kidd is now at the age and speed where he can no longer effectively guard...ANYONE.
-Marion is past the point where he was amongst the most versatile defenders in the league and is now merely average to maybe above average.
-Dirk could never guard anyone anyway.
-Dampier is soft and weak and as always the mavs have no post defense.
-Jason Terry is a walking matchup problem that is now a one dimensional spot up shooter for all intents.
-Josh Howard is the only real player that they have thats still in his prime and he is busy getting stoned more often than not.
- they have no bench.
- they have no coach.
If you forget all of those things, they are the number 2 seed in the western conference.
