hmmm... nice one... in short natalo sila kasi mas magaling kalaban nila.
then i think... i have much respect for Spurs and Celtics even they lost...

A lot of factors contribute to winning. There's talent, chemistry, age, coaching, ultimo fans contribute. And pag nagsama sama lahat yun, teams win championships. I'd like to believe that the good teams in the NBA each get moments of glory and the chance to become champs. You either take it or you don't because sa dami ng magaling na team, baka di na maulit. I remember the Kings circa Webber, Divac, Turkoglu, Bibby. They had their shining moment vs the Lakers but they blew it. They almost became champs but lost to LA.
Now, looking at the Mavs, it is high time that they win a ring. Tumatanda na sila Dirk at Jason Kidd. Dapat magchampion na sila because THEY DESERVE IT. They are a great team for so many years but laging kapos. Yaan mo na Boston, Lakers, Spurs. They have aged but they have cemented their legacies already in the NBA. Nanalo na yan mga yan. Ang Mavs, wala pa. If the Mavs will let this slip, I doubt if they can ever win a ring again. Parang Kings yan. You have Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, OKC, even Memphis and Atlanta. These are the teams of the future with very young and athletic players. Not to mention of course, a rebuilding Lakers and Boston team.
So dpogs, yes Lakers and Boston lost to better teams definitely. The Heat with the Big 3 (dapat din mag champion kasi nakakahiya sa laki ng expectation ) and the Mavs who's long overdue for a ring. Inexcusable loses kasi matanda na sila? Hmmm, I don't think so. Kasi nga nag champion na yan mga yan. Inexcusable perhaps if both Boston and Lakers have not won a ring until now given their powerhouse lineups and coaches.
