THE MAVERICKS GET THEIR REVENGE... Much like how the Lakers got revenge against the Celtics last year for being embarrassed in Boston during Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals, the Dallas Mavericks sought redemption in Miami tonight after being eliminated by the Heat (in Dallas) in the 2006 Finals. I don’t normally root for the team that defeats the Lakers in the playoffs (as Dallas did when it swept Kobe Bryant and Co. in the semifinals last month), but considering the douchey move that LeBron James made when he deserted the Cleveland Cavaliers for South Beach, Florida last year, I had to root for Dirk Diggler and company to win it all. Speaking of LeBron, he DOES NOT deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Kobe and Michael Jordan even when 'King' James does win his first title. LeBron has now been to the NBA Finals twice...and has now choked twice in the championship round. At least Dirk Diggler (yes I know his real last name) and Jason Kidd (whose New Jersey Nets got swept by the Lakers in 2002) won their first rings on their second tries.
So the Miami Super Friends are now Super Failures. Assuming a lockout doesn’t take place next season, here’s hoping that new head coach Mike Brown will somewhat fill Phil Jackson’s shoes and lead the Lake Show back to greatness. Kobe needs to win his 6th title before LeBron wins his first one...and of course, seek revenge against the Mavericks for the 4-game sweep that took place last month. All crosshairs are obviously on Dallas now...
