Why is everybody counting out the Warriors, Mavs, Grizz?

[fpliii]

Don't you guys think one of them could make a run? Improbable for sure, but not impossible.

:confusedshrug:

Warriors will get out of the 1st round for sure :rockon:

None of them will make a run. Lets cut the crap, it's either going to be the Spurs or OKC coming out of the west.

[blackification]

Who is counting out the Grizz? All i've heard since the all star break is that no one wants them in the first round

[Akrazotile]

Warriors seem dysfunctional so Im not giving them much of a chance but I agree 100% with OP about Mavs and Grizzlies. Flying under the radar this year but both seem to have gotten their chemistry clicking and both have playoff tested veterans. I would not be surprised in the least if one of them makes a run to the conference finals. I honestly dont see the teams at the top of the conference seedings being significantly better than the ones at the bottom. There really isnt a WCF matchup that would truly surprise me.

[JellyBean]

Because they are the Warriors, Mavs, and Grizz.

[ArbitraryWater]

Mavs Fan here, so HELLS YEA :rockon:

If we get the 7th Spot, I'll BET on us upsetting the Thunder :pimp: But there's work for that left.. Suns need to drop out, and we need to get past either Grizzlies/Warriors/Blazers... 8th Seed? Well at least we made the playoffs then, but I dont think we could beat the Spurs.

The Warriors are the 3rd best team in the west actually.

Jameer what do you have against the Warriors? :coleman:

I meant to say 4th but it depends how Westbrook plays.

Warriors are the the Rockets and Blazers worst nightmare. Iggy can defend Harden and Bogut can defend Dwight. Lin on Curry is laughable

[Rocketswin2013]

Offensively challenged: Warriors, Grizzlies




Defensively challenged: Mavericks

I'm not hating, I like Curry actually. It's just that they definitely aren't the 3rd best team.
Spurs
Thunder
Clippers
Rockets
Grizz
Mavs
are better.

Its still funny how the Warriors seem to get hype as an offensive powerhouse that rains 3's when in actuality our offense is mediocre and the defense is great :facepalm

Yeah we're definitely gonna need Iggy and Bogut to show up against whoever we play

First 4 are debatable but Mavs and Grizzlies? :coleman:

[Inferno]

I'd rather the Warriors play the Clippers than the Rockets, tbh.

[Heavincent]

Warriors are the 3rd or 4th best team in the west imo. Spurs and Thunder are better, and maybe the Clippers (not sure about that one, could go either way). Hell, they may even be the 3rd or 4th best team in the entire league because I don't think the Heat and Pacers are as dominant as initially thought, especially the Pacers. Their offense is utter crap as of late. Heat remind me a lot of the 2011 Lakers, but will probably still make the Finals just because the East is such crap.

Mavs aren't even in the playoffs as of right now...that's how stacked the west is.

[mugiwara]

Bogut unleashed.

[DMAVS41]

None of the teams should be laughed off...especially the Warriors.

If the Mavs played the Thunder and got really hot...they could maybe get it to 7, but that's the best I think they could do.

Sadly, it's looking more and more like the Mavs consistently blowing huge leads is going to cost us a playoff berth.

Just hoping one of the teams above collapses...

[sammichoffate]

Funny part is, Phoenix might replace one of them. Stacked western conference :lol All of them can make deep playoff runs though, Memphis especially.
