Mavericks

Dirk Nowitzki continues to prove that he may want to give show business a try after his basketball career ends.

The season opener tonight for the Dallas Mavericks may not look like a typical season opener for the Mavs. Cuz there’s no Dirk! When we think of the Mavs we think of Dirk Nowitzki. But he’s still recovering from knee surgery and won’t play tonight as the Mavs take on the Lakers in Los Angeles.

With Thursday night's win, the Dallas Mavericks take a 3-2 series lead into Miami for Game 6 Sunday night. No road team has ever won Game 6 in the NBA Finals.  Can the Mavs do it?

Andrew Bynum of the LA Lakers walks off the court Sunday after being ejected for a flagrant foul on JJ Barea of the Mavs. Did you SEE it?  Barea was flattened, and even the announcers commented on how distasteful it was.
