The Dallas Mavericks have taken the Chip!! I couldn't be happier for Jason Kidd and Dirk Nowitzki.
I don't think there will be too many Californians jumping on the Maverick's bandwagon, but I feel like you might see a lot less Laker fans next season. I didn't watch the last two games of the Mavs vs. Heat series very closely but from the earlier games I was worried that the Heat would take it with relative ease. Being on the West Coast I definitely watched the west division more and based on that I thought the Mavs were playing their very best basketball and maybe the best basketball in the league which turned out to be true. I thought they did a wonderful job composing themselves after loses and sticking together playing as a unit. This is not a team with many super stars. It is a team and good teams win team sports.
Some say the Heat will never win a championship. I think they will in due time. I am sick of all the Lebron bashing that has gone on. Yes he made a mistake with "The Decision" and televised it and left Cleveland in the dark until the last minute, but so what. Get over it. If the players continue to work hard in the off season with a looming lockout, this team will be scary.
But for now it is celebration time in Dallas. I am not so sure we will see a repeat by the Mavs next year, but the new moves by the Warriors have got me excited. The NooBA draft is next Thursday, hopefully we can get a piece we need.
