I’m not saying we don’t have issues we need to fix, but besides the Nuggets, who are we really scared of in the West?

    I’m scared of Warriors more than the Nuggs. But you’re point is valid. It’s wide open.

  2. Drakconic314

    Grizz pretty much gave last year champs a good wooping before Ja went out

    Nuggets if they add allstar cause as long as they have jamal they aint a problem

  3. You scared of the nuggets? Come April teams will step it up & play their best. Im sure nobody is scared of us, just Luka lol. West looks wide open. Sunsx warriors clips denver Memphis all will be down when it matters

    6 teams have more talent. Injuries, luck and form will decide how far can we go.

  5. p_g_2025

    Only GSW. Nuggets’ high altitude home court is the only thing that scary. Healthy Khwai also scary.

  6. fhejehfjciwhd

    Just about every team has a more/significantly more talent than the mavs, not trying to shit on anybody but I dinwiddie is the worst 2nd best player of all the contenders.

    A healthy GSW scares me the most. Let’s see which moves we make by the trade deadline, but Mavs/Luka’s style of play translates pretty well to the playoffs

  8. geargarcon

    Not scared of anyone for a single game. But we can’t rely on Luka to win every 7-game series by himself.

  9. UnityPukeInMyMouth

    I’m scared of the mavs, we need to be more consistent to really have a chance against any team.

  10. jay105000

    If Luka can score 60 points each time we can beat anybody!!!

  11. whymanyword

    On the flip side, who you are confident of beating when nobody other than Luka can be consistent.

  12. TelosKairos

    You’re two games out of 2nd and two games out of tenth. One bad week of basketball and this photo means nothing.

  13. sacred_algebra_2

    Healthy Clippers are incredible. I would watch out for whatever Danny Ainge is going to do with his 20 picks before the trade deadline.

  14. Heavy_Ad_4430

    Healthy GS

    Healthy Pelicans

    Healthy Denver

  15. Jon-Rambo

    Multiple teams with the *if healthy qualifier

  16. In a 7 game series? Nuggets, Grizzlies, Pelicans, Warriors, Clippers.

  17. Infamous-Band7927

    Warriors beat you all with Bronson last year cmon

  18. WalkerTejasRanger

    Wouldn’t be scared of the nuggets either. We can beat anyone in single series. Luka just gotta have an on week and somebody else gotta be hot shooting. Problem is if going for a championship, having Luka hot for a month and half straight and someone else always being hot too. But in a first round series? Gimme anyone

  19. benpapp23

    How the hell y’all not say the clippers? Sure there is a big if for them. But y’all are saying healthy pels, healthy grizzlies etc. If the clippers are healthy I don’t wanna see the only dude who could literally shut down Luka

  20. MFFL12_17

    All West teams are scary when fully healthy. Even the play-in teams are not to be underestimated. The fact that the Mavs is still in the upper bracket is testament to Luka’s level of play. Also the Mavs are finally seeing the value of C wood in the starting lineup.

    Need to get DFS and Green back, to get the momentum going. I wouldn’t mind getting a big man to replace Maxi in the interim. Cheap 10 day contracts before the playoffs.

  21. wrestlemaniasign

    make no mistake about it, despite their record, golden state is terrifying. they’re a team made for the playoffs and all their guys are certified winners. the scariest team in the west right now is a healthy GSW in the playoffs

  22. mouse2102

    The Mavs can beat anyone but the Warriors. They are pretty much designed to and have years of experience of dismantling heliocentric teams.

  23. iAmBaTmAn1388

    I think a lot of teams now coast in the regular season and turn it up a notch in the playoffs like San Antonio used to do. Healthy pelicans, suns, warriors, Memphis, clippers are all tough. Not saying we can’t beat them if we get hot but all
    Of them would be a tough series

  24. Jtizzle1231

    Should be GSW. When shit gets real in the playoffs they are a different team. And by different I mean all time great I have watched them in the playoffs. It’s always the same. As the series goes they just start to zero in on your weakness more and more.

    By 5 game they got you down pat. There defense starts to literally suffocates you and you can’t do and damn thing about it. You spend the rest of the series being forced to do what you do worst.

    The warriors low key win in the film room and I’ve never seen anyone counter that when they are at full strength.

  25. HamsterUpper

    I have a question.. Can the mavs outgun the pelican when Zion is back?
    Can the Mavericks beat a grizzlies team..

    Out of all of those teams the only one the mavs like a 60% chance at is the kings and clippers…

  26. the Pelicans. the pelicans are scary as hell

  27. actual_yellow_bag

    I think it’s the exact opposite. If every team in the top 8-9 is healthy, anyone can beat anyone in 7 games. So it’s a glass half empty/half full kind of deal haha. So I’m not scared of anyone, but also everyone.

  28. ramoramo2000

    warriors are by far the scariest team out west.

  29. Boswell44bb

    Pelicans for sure, we barely won and they had about 6 guys not playing

  30. WeirdFishesAraragi

    the win streak got people wilding. we arguably have a worse team than last year AND we’re much more injured. enjoy game to game, don’t think big.
