So thanks for supporting my response!oh please, lol
"Us" referred to Mavs fans as a whole, not just this erudite board. Cuban and his PR machine are the seducers, not anyone here, haha.
I think the Mavs will be good, I just don't think they're much of a lock this season to contend (WCF). Or, tbh, even to almost contend (good showing in the second round). I think a reasonable goal at this point is for them to get out of the first round. That seems realistically achievable with a bit of luck. (Of course, I would be thrilled to see them exceed those expectations, but don't want to set them up to disappoint.)
I totally hope your assessment is accurate!!
