OMG, who would have thought the Dallas Mavericks would be up 2-0 in the Western Conference Semi-finals of the NBA. That's right the Dallas Mavericks up two games to the Lakers zero final box score ( 93-81). Most fans were doubtful that the Mavs we go to L.A. and win two back to back games leading the series 2-0. Not me. I'm so proud of the team. I've covered the Mavs since 199-92 when Mr. Carter was the owner. So I've seen the struggle. Glad to see Dirk mature, grow up and learn to take on the attitude of not being scared. There's no scary cats in the NBA....are you kidding????
But these are the new Dallas Mavericks...No longer known for their soft and wussies style of play but a team to be reckon with. No longer will the other teams be able to "punk" the Mavericks into bowing down. No more!

Ron Artest pancaked my boy J.J. Barea near the end of game two then tried to hold him up.. He knew he would be suspended. Artest became frustrated and "clothes-line J.J. around the neck. Got to be tough JJ and know guys play dirty. However, I would become a strategist and get 'em back.
Certainly, the man in the middle have made he difference for the Mavs and that guy is none other then Tyson Chandler along with Brenden Haywood... The big men in the middle..When they both play well together the team wins. Mavs, Lakers Friday May 6, 2011 at the American Airlines Center, BE THERE! or turn to your local cable channel.
