A lot of people are finding it hard to believe that the 67 win Dallas Mavericks are going to be eliminated by the 8th-seeded Golden State Warriors, but they are.
Golden State has owned Dallas over the past two years, going 9-2 against them in the regular season and playoffs.
The easy way to explain this would be to give all the credit to Don Nelson because he knows the Mavericks and is outcoaching Avery Johnson in this series. But they did go 3-1 against Dallas last year under Mike Montgomery.
I do think Nelson has figured out a way to stop Dirk who hasn't scored more than 23 points in any game this series.
You can also credit the Warriors fans who wearing wearing yellow "we believe" t-shirts have created a great playoff atmosphere. But they did win Game 1 in Dallas.
Maybe the best explanation for this surprising result is the resurgence of Baron Davis to good health and good spirits. He's played great in this series, scoring 33 each in Games 1 and 4. This reminds me of the epic battle he had with Tracy McGrady a few years back.
But in truth, the die for this series was cast many years ago, in a small Los Angeles private school. There Baron Davis met a kid named Cash Warren who would go on to have sex with Jessica Alba. And because Alba is ten times cooler than any other hot celebrity chick she and Cash were courtside for Game 4. Kate Hudson is also friends with Cash and Baron from high school and she too, was at the game, with Owen Wilson. Wilson is from the Dallas area but he's banging Kate Hudson so he probably didn't want to root too loudly and piss her off and get himself cut off.
Why did Jessica and Cash dress like librarians to attend an NBA playoff game??
ReplyDeleteA gay guy told me recently "cardigans are coming back." I have no idea why Alba is wearing that but I think she'd look good in garbage bags.
