These Mavs make me more proud than the 2006 championship team

[crc21209]

You know, I just wanna say that regardless of how this season pans out I am proud of the guys in blue this year. A team that gives over 90 starts to the likes of James Singleton, JJ Barea, Gerald Green, Antoine mutha ing Wright, has no business being one of the 7 remaining teams, and yet our boys in blue are one of the seven remaining teams.

The guys in blue heart and mental toughness have been on display multiple times this year:

1. 2-7 start, 0-4 @ AAC our guys in blue could've thrown in the towel. , they were down 9 in the 4th to the Knicks, which would've made them 2-8 and on a 6 game losing streak. But the guys in blue came back to win that game, for they never quit.

2. Mid January, 4 game losing streak drops the guys in blue to 9th place, including embarassing losses to the Suns/Kings and gutwrenching losses to the Thuggets and Hornets. But the guys in blue quit not.

3. After a road trip featuring a 35 point loss to the Bucks and a 24 point loss to the Celtics, the guys in blue didn't throw in the towel. winning their next 4 games with 3 against playoff teams. Seemigly having found some cohesion during this stretch with J-Ho seemingly having found his love of the game.

4. Looking like an 8th/9th place team for a bulk of the year, the guys in blue never quit and earned a 6th seed.

5. The guys in blue made a many 4th quarter comebacks against lottery teams this year. Their talents put them in the hole, but their heart brought them out of it.

And then we have the 1st game of the 1st round of the playoffs, in which the guys in blue, having lost 6 straight road playoff games, found themselves down 13 to the Spurs. But they didn't panic, they won that game and proceeded to win the series.


And finally, last night we saw the perseverance of these guys against the Nuggets. Coming off a bull heartbreaking loss and in an impossible situation, the guys in blue found themselves down 14. Punched in the mouth by a barrage of bull 3 pointers, the guys in blue could've said "hey, we're down 3-0, no need for a flight back to Denver, let's just throw in the towel and get some rest."

But the guys in blue didn't say that, they tried to win the game, and did win the game. Down 14 in 2nd quarter? No problem. JR Smith hitting bull shots? They didnt quit. Bull flagrants and technicals? They didnt quit.

And so, regardless of how the season ends, I am proud of the guys in blue. In spite of their talent gaps, they show the heart of champions. Why? Because they are ing champions. 2006 NBA Champions.

And so, this edition of the men in blue makes me prouder than any other edition. The 2003 edition that should've won a le if not for a Dirk injury, the 2006 edition that did win a le, the 2007 edition that should've won a le if not for bull shots and a bad matchup, the 2001 edition that came back down 0-2 against the Jazz.

GOOO Mavs!

Even your thread le is an epic FAIL. 2006 Champions? You mean the Miami Heat! . ing get over it already!

Nuggets aren't that good. This series should be 2-2. And who knows how game 1 turns out if the Mavs don't get a ref that they're 0-15 against in the playoffs when Dirk doesn't DOUBLE his scoring average?

you say Nuggets aren't that good right? The if about the ref in game 1 doesn't matter that is in the past over done with so that's one game Denver won. Yes you are right the series could be 2-2, it still could be 3-1 Denver is the better team

carajo tu, you are just a re ed piece of ing sack with a broken vagina and an ugly smell, which makes you almost the lowest-paid in the whole world. Denver is just a scrub team painted with flakes of gold, but it still isn't enough to disguize the en y of this team, which is just a piece of .
