Dallas was about an arse hair away from going to Dallas up 2-0 last year and blew it. When Dirk is right, and it seems like he finally is the last few weeks, he is as unguardable as any player in the league.

Their playoff run comes down to OJ getting his head out of his arse for 2 weeks straight and playing good basketball. You know you'll get 5 good games out of the remaining 9, but its what happens with him in the other 4 that will tell the tale.

Absolutely. Mayo was an overall good addition, but he's inconsistent. I think Dirk finally getting back into basketball shape has helped him, and the addition of James at point has improved overall offensive chemistry as well. The fact that Dallas is good enough to beat the Clippers tells me they have the talent to win enough games down the stretch to make the playoffs, but they don't control their own destiny. The Lakers and Utah will have to struggle with their tougher schedules on top of Dallas playing winning basketball, at least 6-3, down the stretch.
