I am definitely not talking dynasties but I think the Mavs are way closer to a championship contending team (meaning WCF is possible) than any of us thought. We were thinking that the Mavs would challenge for a bottom playoff spot. Mavs have established themselves as a top 4-5 team with a healthy Luka. The Warriors are going to be a major problem next year not to mention that the Lakers and Clippers should find ways to get better. The Rockets are in a weird spot where it's hard for them to improve. The Nuggets could be a move away from being a legitimate contender.
We also benefit from the fact that more stars are in the East which makes the West more open.
