Let's give it to Mavs
They deserve to be Champions. Proving time and again, that TEAM and not sheer TALENT wins.
For what they have been through, and what they have accomplished this season, they truly deserve the crown. Versus Portland, they won the series despite losing a big lead and almost choking again. They swept the Lakers (WOW) and any team who beats the defending champs deserve to be champs themselves. And versus the Big 3? Man, that furious rally in game 2, down by 15 with 6 minutes to go, that was something.
It's also good for the NBA, this win of the Mavs. Proves that no amount of Big 3 or talent can overcome the fundamentals of PLAYING TEAM BASKETBALL. There are absolutely no shortcuts to greatness.
As for the Heat, what can I say? I rooted for them. As I said, I don't mind losing. As long as I see my team fighting. As long as I see the best player like Lebron giving his heart out and giving his best. But honestly, I didn't see it. Give me Steve Nash and Phoenix Suns anytime and you're assured of a down the wire battle. That's why teams like LA, Boston, Spurs, Phoenix, the Mavs now -- they have earned lots of fans because they play heads up every game!
Lebron's twit before Game 5 "Now or Never"? Baaah. Dapat kay Justin Bieber ang motto mo, LBJ --"Never say Never!"
Been a lot of fun though. Till next year!!
