Vacation

I'm on vacation and this is all I've got. By the way, I would suggest that you view this in the privacy of your own home and is probably not safe for work.

Love you all.

Viva Futbol! By "Viva" I mean "Long Live" and by "Futbol" I mean "Soccer".

Times he whined like a little bitch after committing a stupid offensive foul that put a hold on any run the Mavericks may be capable of making while allowing Posey to look like the NBA defensive player of the year: 2

"Wade Just A Sec"

That's the headline on the Dallas Morning News sports page since I take it you don't get it delivered to Hermosa Beach.

Look, Lets not do this SEAL. We are both renowned members of the infamous "Four Horsemen". We know when to cheer, when not to cheer. When to bitch at Stack for a missed dunk and when not to. My broom comments were made strickly to get my point across. We are the dominant team in this series. We won the NBA title when Dirk took JD to the hole for a wicked 3 point play in game 7 against SA. I called Mavs in 5. I thought they would lay an egg in game 3 and it looked like I was a genius at first. But when they went up by 13 in the 4th, it was no longer an egg. They blew a great chance to end the series last night. And yes, Wade is a great player but he got some really uncontested looks last night late. It's a shame that we wasted a great game by Damp. But this is what the Mavs do. They will get a late lead, put it on cruise control and get caught sometimes. I think the loss is good because it will shift the focus for game 5, but I don't think it's good the way it happened just because of the shear fact of momentum.

There is no jinx, and no bad blood between you and I. We all have our opinions. If anything, the jinx came when the City of Dallas announced the parade routes the other day. I am enjoying this thing as much as the rest of you. I didn't break out the shirt last night because I felt that I didn't need to, but I was wrong. I think if I would have, the Mavs would have pulled it out so I put this loss solely on Stetty. And I apologize for that. But do any of you really doubt what is going to happen in this series? Did Miami winning last night change any of your minds? Not mine.

I have seen the Waterseal. I am a Sealitness.

Stackhouse=SuckAss

There's been a lot made about my HATE for Stackhouse so I'm going to take this opportunity to justify my decision to beg for his death. Let me preface this by saying that this didn't happen by his shear level of play in the playoffs. This is a long going HATE that stems from his play in the regular season.

First off, it's always hard to sign a "starter" in this league and expect him to adapt to the 6th man role. Yes, he said all the right things in the media but no one in their right mind can just flip the switch and take on that change. Thus, he has an internal drive to become a starter again and I hate it. He puts way too much pressure on himself to be the "go to" guy and it hurts this team. He thinks he's something he's not, great. He's good, but not great. He'll never average his 30 points here like he did with his former team and he has to be ok with that. Stop forcing things, let your better scorers do the scoring when needed. Yes he does some good things, but he's always doing them to make up for bad moments just before. In my mind, that's a wash. We need someone who limits the mistakes but can still score. I guess that's what every team is looking for, but I just don't understand the Mavs nations fascination with this guy. He is NOT that great. And when Shaq bloodied his nose in Game 1, I found myself applauding ever so lightly. You'll notice that when he was taken out of the game, the Mavs went on a 7-0 run that created a pretty nice cushion. When he came back, they coughed up the lead within 2 minutes of game time. I'd love to see his +/- numbers. I think it would be very intriguing for those Stack lovers.

I also think that Avery fuels the fire. We run sets through Stackhouse a lot of the time which kills me. And I'm not talking about when he's on the floor and Dirks not. I'm talking about when they are playing together. Hey Stack, you can still pass to someone else even when the play is designed to start with you at the top of the key. That's ok to do when you have the scorers that we have. But for some reason, he lets his brain take over (which is not a good thing) and he becomes Michael Jordan on a playground created in his little Stack head. YOUR NOT THAT GOOD!!! But he sure wants to be. I'm sick and tired of it. And it's such a power drain to watch him come into the game and chew his gum ever so cockily. I'm putting out the call to all Mavs fans to burn his jerseys in protest.

Look, he had a decent game last night. But did you see how it started? The shot off the side of the backboard and then he really feels like he has to do something good. That's my whole "basketball cancellation theory". He is the prime example. I'm not calling to get rid of the guy unless we can pick someone else up who can score off the bench. And we're in the finals for gods sake. What's not to like about this team? I can see both sides. But if you get a chance (and there may only be two other chances to see this since the brooms are being broke out) watch Stackhouse for an extended period of time and you'll begin to see it. He also wants the ball at the end of games so he can get intentionally fouled and put at the line, thus padding his stats. I know you all see that.

Bottom Line: Die



WHINNY BITCH!!!!

Here are some pretty cool photos from the finals so far. Good times in Mav country.



I love seeing the concentration in his eyes. Thus the lovely FT percentage.

MAVS IN 5

Game 1

Game 1 Thoughts (yes, it's 5:45 in the morning):

• Hubie Brown is creepie.

• The high pick and roll really worked with Dampier when Shaq was on him, Shaq no longer has the mobility to keep up.

• Dirk should get at least one shot per quarter, no matter the circumstances.

• Free throws killed Miami, Captain Obvious.

• Wade is the best player we've seen so far, or rather, the player with the most talent. But I thought he thought he should of gotten some calls and didn't seem to play as well once that happened.

Go Mavericks.

By the way, you can get that shirt at MavGear.

Big Gameday

Diop it like it's HOT!

As I told my good friend SEAL on Saturday night, "I want to floss my incisors with a Dirk Nowitzki hanging dingleberry butt hair. And then top it off with a quick chode lick".

YOU ARE AMERICA'S BEST, MAKE US PROUD!!!

Yogi the Pug

This is a little cruel, but funny nonetheless. Yogi the pug has a broken tongue, possibly due to some sort of stroke this dog had as a puppy.



Great Cowboys news from today's mini-camp (via Blogging the Boys).

Yes, Steve Kerr is a part owner of the Suns (via Maverick Moneyball).

Dirk's greatness (via True Hoop).

Dirktastic

So awsome. I love Dirk. I hate Timmy Thomas. Go Mavericks.
