I was referring to no major moves at the trade deadline. Of course they overhauled their roster in the offseason, but stayed with what they had at the deadline. If you look at the chances of winning, Dallas' % of winning goes up post-deadline even with no moves.

Thats 4 of their top 5 guys who entirely change the roster. I think I know what you mean concerning trades, but this is a team that made HUGE moves and is just now seeing what they're capable of.

That is attributable to a few things: benching Z plus the return of Haslem, and the Celtics weren't quite as bad as their post-deadline numbers. Shorter rotations in the playoffs always helps them, although they were hurt. The Lakers were more gravely injured imo though.

The Heat definitely didn't really need to make any moves based on their core, but the Mavs got lots of criticism for not making any moves at the trade deadline.

I also think it's interesting that the odds are almost flip-flopped for pre/post-deadline, especially since neither team really did alterations to their rosters. Should be a fun matchup!

LeBron has too many responsibilites on offense to be drained on Dirk, save for critical moments.

Should be fun!

It's unfortunate for Dallas that Haslem got back just now. He's one more body they can throw at Nowitzki should Bosh get in foul trouble. Or maybe they start him and put Bosh on Chandler? Or LeBron on Nowitzki? That would be interesting to see
