Would the Mavs have won 06 champion if the series was 2-2-1-1-1 format

then how did they get the 2nd overall pick, which was traded by them along with another player for Becky Hammon in 07?

they actually need Hammon - she'd probably give them some testosterone to do better in the playoffs - funny how the stars parallel the mavs (besides having a tainted ring vs no ring.)

Either way, the Mavs would be the champions if NBA was a pure game rather than a business. David Stern has his bids only on the big cities, obviously a championship can help a lot in expanding the influence of NBA in those cities. Championships can only fly into populous cities like LA, Detroit, Mimmy, San Antonio and Boston, even though their teams were absolutely not the best of their contemporaries. For the vision of this business the Mimmy Cheat were the champions, but the boys in blue were and will always be the real champions of this game in the season of 05-06.

LOLWUT? San Antonio a populous city???
