Wow, just because the Heat cause irrepairable damage to their franchises legacy, they shouldn’t adopt the Heat’s approach to a season, too.

Do the Mavs remember how they got a top seed last year?

Maybe they’re afraid of winning because they can’t beat 8-seeds. Also, anyone think that this is pitiful excuse making? Seriously, they’re talking out of both sides of their mouths. We want to win every game/We’re saving ourselves. Can’t really have it both ways, can you?

Oh hell, let’s just give them the rest of the season off. Say their record will be…57-25. Just hang out, guys! The playoffs will be starting in a few, uh, long months.

i can’t believe they actually came out and said that openly..

Well, the Warriors didn’t care about the regular season last year, and that worked out OK for them.

Wasn’t the whole idea of regular season is to prepare for the playoff? I’d prefer that they spread the minutes more generously and still maintain that defensive intensity because the way I see it, they aren’t defending as hard as last season.

anybody see Dirk throwing a towel in Dampier’s face in the playoffs?

SO, they are giving the homecourt advantage to the Spurs? erm… somehow I don’t think this is very wise….

[…] Utah @ Dallas (Saturday, 8:30pm EST): In an attempt to reverse-jinx themselves, the Mavs say they don’t care about the regular season too much, and the results are obvious (12-8). As for Utah, Carlos Boozer recently suggested a similar approach towards the regular season during a team meeting, but the idea never really gained any traction because as the words began to escape Booz’s lips, Jerry Sloan slowly and menacingly unveiled a weapon similar to the cattle gun in No Country for Old Men.
