Happytrails Dallas

Last night the Golden State Warriors, an eight seed, beat the favorite to win it all this year the Dallas Mavericks. Im not going to say i told you so, but i kinda did. I just felt that this team, that everyone was sold on, was just an mvp choke artist (dirk) away from being shown the door. This furthur magnifies my point on dirk nowitzki that he is no mvp...not even close. This is a seven footer in love with shooting threes that is slow and doesn't make his other teamates better. He often looks for others in critical situations to have that moxy to take pressure shots, and rarely shows up in the big game...hmmm...sounds like to me this guys an mvp right? Everyone for whatever reason was all on him to win it though, the fact is the guy doesn't have that characteristic that most truly great players have, that killer instinct to never lose. Jordan most definately had it, magic, bird, even kobe has that desire to never ever let up and go down swinging. Eight points in the elimination game for the mvp last night, what a joke. And mark cuban how can you not root for his team to lose, that wwf type of owner of the mavs that is as arrogant as he is annoying constantly right in mix at the end of the bench and grimaceing with every tough situation...can he just go to the owners box already and show a little class. How annoying must that be as a player as well that this owner is always wanting some of that spotlight so he is always in your grill, right over your shoulder, get away you weasel!
Just to put it in perspective, and i know some of you could care less about the nba, the mavericks record this year was 67-14 and they got beat by a team that barely made the playoffs in the warriors with a record of 42-40. Just to keep in mind the other best records of all time in the nba are: Chicago in 19995 with 72-10; Lakers in 1971 with 69-13; Boston in 1972 with 68-14; 76ers in 1966 with 68-13. This also ushers in the new era in the nba, the era of fastbreak helter skelter threes and fun basketball to watch, no more half courts boring sets to put you to sleep. The suns do it to perfection, the warriors do it now and i hope more follow suit.
