Do the Mavs win without Chandler?

Hell no. The Mavericks wouldn't have made the run they did without Chandler, one of the most improved players of this season. Before he came, most people noted that the Mavericks had almost no defensive presence. When Chandler came, he brought that defense the Mavericks needed and also provided an emotional boost for the team in the locker room and on the court. He's really had a tremendous impact on the Mavericks, more than any previous center in Mavericks history.
