We're Format Changing!

I decided that I don't like this all black background, so.........

Magic!

Its gone.

On to other things...

I was really feeling embarrassed by all of the horrible predictions that I made about the Mavs in 5, and then how Miami had nothing to throw at Dallas. Well, I was wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. That said, I did get one thing right. I wrote this before the series started:

Before I get too far, I think that I need to mention that I think the refs will have an insurmountable affect on this series, Simmons touches on this in his article. Most people that I talk to think it will come down to Shaq and his ability to cold-cock people and somehow get the foul called on the D. I think, on the other hand, that Shaq won't get the leniency that he wants. Instead, I think it will come down to DWayde and his ridiculous drives to the hole. I mean give me a break. The guy drives to the rim, leaps into the crowd and heaves the ball over his head and expects to get the foul. And 90% of the time he does. I mean have you ever watched him? He looks like he's a kid at a pool doing a cannonball into the deep end. How is that not an offensive foul? I am insane? Watch a Heat game and see what I'm talking about. It’s the most ridiculous thing in sports. I will now go chew on tin foil.

I kinda wish I had been wrong on that one too. To read more about this, Simmons has a great article on it today. Its long, but it puts a lot of things in focus. You can read it here.

I will not jinx the Mavs anymore by writing my predictions. City of Dallas, I apologize. My bad.
