Mavericks Shan Foster Takes on Usher

 

The Mavericks NBA draft pick Shane Foster doesn’t just shoot ”the three” lights out… It turns out, he can fly through the lane like a bird… and sing like one too!  The SEC Player of the Year has been dubbed, the NBA’s Usher Look alike!  You decide…

 

Personally I prefer Shan Foster behind the mike much more then Usher.  Check out Shan’s “Draft Day” song written and recorded by the rookie guard from what looks like his dorm room.

 

I have a good feeling about the rookie Maverick.  I just hope he’s tough on the court,  because the Mavs need some toughness infused into the team that has the ability to play like pansies.

Dirk Nowitzki has an American Girlfriend!

Head to any Mavericks game and you will see dozens of young women in the stands holding up “Dirk will you marry me?” signs.  There is now evidence the big man may actually be interested in  American Chicks.  I first saw news that Dirk has taken a babe on the Front Burner Blog.  They quoted the news first reported in the German newspaper Bild.  I can’t read German and I’m not really sure what it says but it appears to be a question and answer segment with All-Star Center about his new American love.

Here is the Text:

BILD: Sie haben seit kurzem eine Freundin, eine Amerikanerin…

Nowitzki: Stimmt, aber darüber rede ich nicht gern. Nur soviel: Es ist alles noch sehr frisch, ich kann noch nicht sagen, was draus wird. Wir werden uns wahrscheinlich erst in ein paar Monaten wieder sehen, wenn ich nach Dallas zurückkomme.“

I tried to translate the above German text myself:

Bild: Yes, you have been seen kur-ousing with woman, an American!

Nowitzki: Stymie that talk.  My derriere is red and itchy from her germs. 

I couldn’t figure out the rest, but I think it has something to do with a “weird” situation, a warden, his lawyer and making “Par” in Montana.  He ends with saying how he would rather be with women in Zurich than Dallas.

The Stars Can Be Proud - The Mavericks Can’t

The Dallas Stars played with determination and drive.  They still lost.  The fact is the Dallas Stars were outmatched.  The Detroit Red Wings were just to good for Dallas.  In the end, there was no way the Stars could beat such a talented team, even though they did a hell of a job trying.

This differs from the Mavericks.  The Stars were outmatched, the Mavs were outplayed.  On paper the Mavericks had the best team.  They should have gone the distance.  Instead they underachieved, while the Stars overachieved.

Hats off the to the Dallas Stars, who went further than I ever expected.  The Mavericks still need to do some serious work before gaining my respect again.

Why The Mavericks May Not Show Up For Playoff Basketball

1. Dirk will be getting his hair washed.
2. Eddie Jones forgot to stop running away from a poker game that just got robbed.
3.  Josh Howard has an appointment at Apple Orthodontics.  (After failing to win an NBA Title, hes still looking for “The smile of his life”)
4. The Trainer forgot to pack Jason Terry’s headbands, he refuses to play with out them.
5. Jason Kidd is still celebrating his 100th Triple Double, no one told him the team bus was leaving.
6. Jerry Stackhouse re-injures his groin after a last minute trip to one of those places off Northwest Highway.
7. Eric Dampier is still at Parkland as Doctors try to chip away the cement that coats his hands.
8. No one can find Devon Harris, oh wait, he doesn’t play here anymore.
9. Brandon Bass is in the Hornets locker room.  He’s from Louisiana and now wants to play for the home team.
10. Dirk is still washing his hair.  When was the last time he showed up to play in a playoff game anyway?

Did I mention I am still pulling for the Mavericks.  Lets hope they really do show up to play.

I Told You So!

I don’t like saying it, but the truth is, I told you so.  The Sports Master, Sam Hale, got very angry about my previous post that called the Mavs a bunch of panzies.  Well last night proved I was right.  They had the Lakers by the throat.  Up 7 going into the 4th quater.  But as they have done time and time again this year, the Mavs let that lead go.

The reason they can’t win these tight games is because the team has no intestinal fortitude, no dig down deep, no we can do it, no the little engine that could.  The Mavericks let Kobe Bryant take over.  Time is winding down sports fans.  It is do or die for this team, what amazes me is it seems like the Mavs don’t realize what dire striaghts they are in.

I still think they will slip into the playoffs, I know they will lose in the first round to whoever they play.
