How About Them Mavericks?

Sun, 12 Jun 2011 22:18:28 +0000

The Dallas Mavericks are on the verge of doing the impossible. Up three games to two, the Mavericks are on the doorstep of the NBA promise land. As a Celtics fan, you want to make sure the team that ends your season gets the same treatment at some point during the latter rounds of the NBA playoffs. With such a tall task at hand, considering that the Heat’s version of the Big Three were inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame when they signed last summer, the Mavericks have to push aside the demons that have haunted them for the life of their franchise.

As we inch closer and closer to game time, a host of outstanding questions have been on the fore front of every NBA fan’s agenda: Can the Mavs seal the deal, will the referees become huge Miami Heat fans as the were in 2006, will someone else from the Orlando Magic “seal the deal” with Lebron’s girlfriend?

These are the type of hard hitting questions that keep the Houdini up at night.

Houdini Says: The Dallas Mavericks will win tonight by a score of 99-92. Bing, bang, boom.

Remembering Shaquille O’Neal

The retiring Shaquille O’Neal hasn’t done the NBA any favors. In fact, he’s only further dug David Stern a hole the size of a wishing well, and wrenched the pale of good fortune right from his gritty hands.

Yeah, they don’t call him The Big Leprechaun for nothing.

On Friday, I sat and watched the 39 year old version of Shaq encapsulate the media. He was funny, and he was sad, both at the same time. It’s as if somehow Shaq has found a way to multitask his emotions. Not at all uncharacteristic of a man who so feverishly shattered so many backboards, while also granting Stan Van Gundy a social tongue whipping.

Of course, this was after he gave a heartwarming farewell from his own home via Twitter. Most of us knew this was going to be Shaq’s last hurrah in the NBA, but I refused to believe it – almost as if Brett Favre’s last ditch attempt at fame gave any aging superstar hope for at least one more fighting season.
