Hello Mavericks fans, it’s been an emotional week. The Mavs were on a 5 game win streak heading into Utah on Wednesday, and I’m not going to pretend I expected the Mavericks to win this game. Utah has played exceptional all season especially, in Salt Lake. However, that being said, the Mavericks fell apart on offense. They shot 33% FOR THE GAME! That is terrible, worse than terrible.
Anyway, after that embarrassing display the Mavs got on a plane headed to Dallas to face the Cleveland Cavaliers at home on Thursday. I always cringe when they come out in the alternate green jerseys. Has anyone else noticed that the Mavericks always lose in the green jerseys? Well they do. I think it’s because Sean “Puff Daddy” “Diddy” “Puffy” Combs designed them. He’s a New York Knicks fan.
Back in Dallas, after not getting the shooting problem under control, the Mavericks reminded me of the bad boys Pistons teams of old the way they literally assaulted Lebron James all game. It looked like the Mavericks had finally snapped and moved into nervous breakdown mode that never really happened after the disappointments of losing in the finals two years ago and following that up with a first round loss to Golden State last year. (A team that should not have made the playoffs and possibly the only team able to beat the Mavericks consistently last year) The Mavericks played so bad I don’t even know where to start. I think I’ll go with the 36% shooting for the game, or 4-20 3pt shooting, or that Dirk played fairly well and they still lost. Maybe I just won’t say anything. Go Mavericks.
