Mavs have a really good chance to knock out the Lakers, but like the Spurs, I'll believe the Lakers are done when they get down in an elimination game. Til then there's still work to do.
But I have been really impressed with the Mavericks these playoffs; they really don't look like the Mavs of old. And Dirk is an absolute monster this year. That stepback And-1 on Gasol was sick, and so was the wrong-legged shot he hit in Game 1. Good stuff.
