I had notion that the Mavericks could pull the comeback. When Baron Davis pulled up in the second quarter with a bad hammy I thought the deal was sealed. After all, the Mavs were the FREAKING OVERALL NUMBER ONE SEED FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. But 111-86??? Are you kidding me? I can't think of a bigger chokejob since Jason White from OU in a BCS bowl. Nowitzki goes 2 for 11 for a whopping 8 points. MVP? Oh hell no. Cue up the Nash band. So what did coach Avery Johnson have to say following the crushing loss:
"We just didn't have the confidence."
Seriously. I can think of some other quotes to cover things that might have been lacking that particular night:
"We just didn't have the defense."
"We just couldn't make any shots."
"We just didn't have a gameplan."
"We just didn't make any in-game adjustments."
"We just couldn't overcome the inury of their star player."
"We just didn't have the league MVP tonight."
Cue franchise meltdown.

Choke of the Year? Easy, it's the Mavericks.

GOOD THING they dun look totally gay in that pic.lOl. i still like ur blog tho.
I am officially no longer a fan of the Dallas mavericks. Although rediculous, I don't think we will se a franchise meltdown.
I was a fan through 13-win seasons, so this isn't going to knock me off the bandwagon. That being said, if there isn't some serious shake-up in personnel, we can look forward to more seasons of this.
