One Mavs Fan Finally Comes to a Harsh Realization
Written by my younger brother this morning...
I apologize for the tardiness and delay of this blog post, but recently it has been morally reprehensible and taboo in the city of Dallas to speak of the Mavs’ premature postseason exit. After months of recuperation, Mavs fans are prepared to “face the music” and answer any questions the nation asks. I, a college student outside the state of Texas, am constantly burdened by the aged old question, “man what happened to your boys (Dallas Mavericks)?” Although sometimes worded differently, the questions meaning and significance is always identical. For months Mavs supporters had no answer, we could only sit in the corner quietly while being ridiculed by the nations NBA viewers. I knew it was bad when a Celtics fan had the audacity to ridicule my Mavericks, “we might tank games, but ya’ll are choke artists,” the fan boasted.
Mavs fans are coming out of hibernation, and are prepared to accept one horrifying and gut churning fact: Dirk will not lead us to the promise land. This took me months to comprehend and acknowledge. How can a player who scored over 50 against any defender Phoenix would throw at him, choke in the finals? How can the leagues MVP allow the greatest upset in NBA post-season history? Sure, the Warriors were rattled with injuries all season, and were hot entering the playoffs, but there were no excuses we could invent to justify our untimely post-season departure, or lessen the pain our little mavericks caused.

I think Dirk can lead the Mavs to an NBA Championship. However he will need the aid of a few bruisers with a chip on their shoulder. However, currently no one on the Mavs' roster fits that mold.
As long as the mavericks best player is a jumpshooter they will never win a title.
Who cares about the mavericks, Im on dancing with the stars!

I know this is old... but to the anonymous that says Dirk is just a jumpshooter... that might have been true 2-3 years ago, but Dirk's game is far more advanced than that. He's a pretty complete offensive player right now.
Agreed twins!
