The Mavs will scuffle for 10 games while Carlisle fiddles with the rotations

but they’ll get their wheels back on and end up 44-22.

the streak ends? that's upsetting.

if Dirk stays Healthy...I'd say no

the streak continues…..

All Dallas needs is a 75 win percent …(which works out to ~62 wins in a 82 game season….

Dallas with a Healthy Dirk is more than Capable of that…..

Here’s a theoretical play from 2010: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

Now, if somebody doesn’t agree with that, that’s cool. I also don’t agree with the fact that I don’t have $10 million in my bank account. But the fact that I don’t agree with it doesn’t make it any less true.
