I Was Wrong, But My Philosophy Still Runs True

Many of you have accused me of playing both sides. When the 2011 NBA season started, I said that the Miami Heat didn’t need “heart” to win the NBA Championship. When the NBA Finals began, I picked the Heat to win in six. When the Dallas Mavericks took the NBA Finals in six games, I [...]

Admit it, America. That’s what you feel right now. As great as it is that the Dallas Mavericks beat the Miami Heat in 6 games to win the 2011 NBA championship, it’s even sweeter for you that the Miami Heat lost in six. With all due respect to the Dallas Mavericks and Dirk Nowitzki, outside [...]

Here we are. The 2011 NBA Finals. Playing for the NBA championship is essentially the place everyone with any common sense thought the Miami Heat would wind up. Certainly, Dallas comes as a bit of a Finals participant surprise (somewhat of a surprise, I took out 20:1 odds that they’d win the whole thing!). However, [...]

By now you have heard the news already. Last night’s Dallas Mavericks come-from-behind win over the Oklahoma City Thunder was the first time in 15 years that a team ever lost after having a 15-point lead with less than five minutes left in an NBA Playoff game. Needless to say, what happened to the Thunder [...]
