Upon reading my previous statement that you questioned, yeah, my fault. I see where you are coming from. It was not properly worded. It should have been written something like “if the Mavs can prove that they are one of the greatest NBA teams by repeating as champs…”

First off, I’m a Laker fan. Second, you forgot Russell’s Celtics, Olajuwon’s Rockets, and the Bad Boys Pistons.

My statement is a challenge for the Mavs about being “One-Hit Wonders” just like the Miami Heat who lost in the first round of the playoffs after winning the championship the year before.

Those teams that you mentioned were the greatest to me as they have defended their titles at least once.

“The greatest of the NBA Champs”? You must be very young. Ever hear of Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls, Magic Johnson’s or Shaq and Kobe’s Los Angeles Lakers, or Larry Bird’s Boston Celtics?

He’s a very good player. But Dallas was still smart to not pay Chandler 15 mil a year to be a defensive anchor.

It just didn’t make financial sense for him to stay in Dallas.

Is it more of a case of the Mavs just being bad or OKC being that good? It’s hard to say. The Mavs look deflated. How do they play OKC so close on the road yet get asshammered in their own building? It’s mystifying. At least when they get Deron next year and boot Kidd’s corpse out the door they can still get another good run in them before Dirk becomes a libaility.

hahaha, yea as a Mavs fan I know. Letting him go was a huge mistake, the rest we could of lived with. Too old and Thunder are too young/good.

They should go after this year’s Defensive Player of the Year. I could imagine him being just what they need.

I wonder if the Mavs can prove that the greatest of the NBA Champs know how to defend their title…

Hope Jason terry didn’t get any preseason prediction tattoos this year, unless maybe he got a broom on his other arm.

Durant was set to breakout after 2 straight games of subpar shooting.

If you can pull off a Deron Williams or Dwight Howard move, all is well in Dallas. Re-sign Jason Terry for the right price and sign a younger athlete or two and the Mavs are in the mix for another title. But right now, they look old and tired.

What’s Mark Cuban say?

This was a hard game to watch as a Mav’s fan. The Mavericks were a couple steps behind the Thunder the whole game. Experience does no good in the playoffs when the person your trying to defend is blowing right by you.

Now I’m looking forward to the long offseason and the major overhaul of the roster. Nowitzki is still going to be the main staple of the team but I can’t see them competing for awhile if they don’t make some zesty offseason moves.

What is it with you and not posting the actual scores in your game recaps?
