I will freely admit that I abandoned the Dallas Mavericks this season.  The past four or five years I managed to see every minute of every regular season and playoff game without fail.  I was happy when Avery Johnson was booted.  However, I really thought this team was over the hill and done for and could not bring myself to get invested.  So even when they were making their run down the stretch I decided I would not get caught up in it and I would wait for the playoffs.

I even decided I would watch their playoff games even if it meant a first round sweep at the hands of the LA Lakers.  Instead I am looking up at a dream come true, playng the San Antonio Spurs, minus Manu Ginobelli.  There will be no sweep here folks.  These are the two teams with the longest consecutive 50 win season streaks in the NBA.  The are both old but still have a little bit left to give.  I will more than happily enjoy one more showdown between these two, even if it is not for all the marbles.
