How will the Dallas Mavericks choke this year?

Choking would imply that their is some type of expectation on this team. I really think expectations are out the window at this point.

I assume this is a joke, yeah anyway.

My team is clearly at the top of the NBA power rankings at this point. We have combined a bunch of crafty veterans and some savvy veterans who are capable of making veteran crafty savvy plays at key times in big games.

As long as we don't run into any buzzsaw's like we have the previous 11 years we should cruise to the le this year and I will be hoisting the trophy in David Stern's face!

If all three of those guys were put in LeBron's situation (drafted in 2003 to a bad team) I think MJ and Magic could pull off a le within 7 years. MJ practically did it with the Bulls, and Magic has the versatility to adapt to any situation. While he had a stacked team, I could see him adjusting his game to do whatever it takes to win. Bird, although clutch, was primarily a jumpshooter so I think that he would need the right team around him.

I would include a poll with this but there is really too many options. As a Mavs fan thats really the only thing I'm looking forward to this year since we have no shot at a championship. I can't wait to find out what kind of way we will fall on our faces this time. It's almost like a TNT drama.

I say this time we sweep the Thunder, sweep the Spurs, and beat the Lakers in a grueling game 7 at Staples. Finally, getting over the hump we face the Heat in the Finals with LBJ and Wade injured. We dominate them the first two games like we should, then Bosh goes for 50 a game and the Bosh-led Heat go on to win the next four games to the astonishment of Dallas again. Cuban and Donnie just smile and say "We ran into a buzzsaw this year with Chris Bosh and Joel Anthony, it happens"

What are your scenarios fellas?
