The Western Conference is about to be as wide open as it has been in a long time. With 10 teams very capable of earning a playoff spot, 6-7 teams capable of winning a title and no team as a clear cut favorite just yet, the West could be very interesting this year. The Dallas Mavericks are hoping to capitalize on some of this craziness.
For the first time in years, the Mavs are ready to make a serious move towards the playoffs. After so many years of being a playoff team since the turn of the century, Dallas has been out of the postseason for three years now.
