Nba Playoffs Rd 1: [2] Oklahoma City Thunder Vs. [7] Dallas Mavericks

[X-Clown]

Mavs are who we thought they were. The way they handled being "defending champs" was disgraceful. Mark Cuban bought their 2011 Championship, and after his fire sale this offseason, they just seemed content with being one year wonders. They're back to being the Old Mavs. Dirk getting knocked off in the 1st round again. They're a team that wont be remembered like that long term.

The losses of Chandler and Barea were huge, and Kidd, Marion, Terry, etc. are all either old or getting up there in age. Dirk couldn't carry that team by himself. I didn't have much of an expectation for them to come close to repeating this year.

d-will will be there next season. possibly dwight too at some point. dallas had no shot at the title this year imo. the run they had last year was absolutely AMAZING and i knew they weren't going to be able to pull something like that off again.

btw, the "old mavs" would have never been the 7 seed in the west.
