This is not going to be fancy, but some things I had to get off my chest. Every time I see something about how great the Mav's are, it still urks me. If it weren't for bad calls by the Ref's we wouldn't be talking about Dallas at all, but instead about the back-to-back championship of the Spurs.
But in spite of my hopes for Avery Johnson to do well, I also hope for the old folks in the Heat's team. So many have given their best playing years to teams that could not learn how to win. I can't help but feel for them, guys like Gary Paton. I've always thougt of him as a class act, and he put in a lot of years with a team that the players just wouldn't put out the effort as he did to win.
Now these guy's finally got to a team that can get that elusive ring for them. So I can't help it, being an old guy my self (70) hopping they win the big prise. It looks like Shaq is doing better and not being the Bull he was in LA. He is now playing Basketball just like the others and in his case taking advantage of his size to win it all. Wade is already a great player, I'm sure it didn't hurt that he had an old superstar to guide him along.
