Game 59 Now A Game Thread: Mavs(31-27) at Lakers(34-21), 9:00 PM Central Time

Gotta say it: despite a horrendous start on offense, the Mavs are keeping it close.

I think they're a significantly better team than LA if/when they're ever healthy.

Prolly more than slightly.  There is a big difference between a play in team and a finals team.  They got more talent after the trade, but the fit after the trade is probably worse for them (no centers and few defenders).
