In a recent interview with DallasBasketball.com, Mavs owner Mark Cuban stated that this year's team is better than the 2006 Finals team. While Cuban might be just throwing us all sunshine, it's promising that he would go out on a limb that far.

"Trust me, Mavs fans: If we stay healthy, this is a good, good, team. I never make predictions. But our top 12 guys are off...

Still not a Bronco believer
