The Dallas Mavericks are the 2011 NBA Champions. Six months ago, I never would have seen this coming, but in the blink of an eye the Mavericks switched from regular season mode to post-season mode and once they did that, the writing was on the wall. The regular season Mavericks weren’t bad in [...] 
At this point, what is going on with the Miami Heat deserves its own mini-series filled with L.A. Noire-like investigations and psychological evaluations by Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz (they are rea doctors, right?) to tell us what the problem with the Heat and late game leads is. Even if the Heat did [...] 
It is very easy to compare what Dirk Nowitzki did last night to what Michael Jordan did to the Utah Jazz back in Game Five of the 1997 NBA Finals because of the “sick superstar” narrative and while the performances could not be more different, the story in the fourth quarter was nearly [...]

[...] Trust is an essential part of any NBA team’s success. The trust each player instills in his teammates and the trust every head coach instills in his players is all apart of the formula for winning. Trust leads to team chemistry, chemistry leads to fluidity, fluidity leads to execution and execution leads to victories. But [...] The Dallas Mavericks are having themselves quite a run in the 2011 post-season. The Mavericks have gone from everyone’s favorite upset pick (in a bad way) in the first round to the favorites in the Western Conference Finals and in the middle they swept the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.
