    I know DAL got the rings and the trophy, but they can't hit the ocean falling out of a boat and MIA's got the transition game going well. Hard to win with that combo going on.

    It may be different later in the season. The Mavericks have always struck me as a fragile construction project of coaching that takes all season to construct.

    Man, we should run like Miami did today. Run, run, run, we have the personnel to do it.

    By the way, did anyone see that graphic about the key losses for the Mavericks?

    Tyson Chandler
    Deshawn Stevenson
    JJ Barea
    Caron Butler
    Peja Stojakovic
    Rudy Fernandez

    I'm not kidding, lol.

    Is Rudy really a key loss?

    Well he helped them win their toughest playoff series last year, in the first round against us.

    Those last three players did not play in the series last year. And Lamar Odom was the sixth man of the year.

    I think the Mavs are old but Miami also helped themselves by running more. That looks like an interesting idea.
