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.

Let Bandwagon Roll

In New York it would never happen.  New York fans love their teams when they are doing well and hate them when they are playing bad.  But they never, ever, root for someone else or wear another teams silly gear.

There are a few Maverick Fans that are now jumping on the L.A. Laker bandwagon.  They claim to be Kobe lovers.  Take NBC5 editor “Mean” Gene Rickman.  During the regular season he lived and breathed the Mavericks.  To him a night in front of the tube watching Dirk and the Jet was all he needed to be happy.  Now look at him!

Yes, that’s Gene, the self described Mav Maniac in training.  He claims he’s wearing that Grimace Purple Laker hat to celebrate the Spurs loss.  Maybe, but last night during the game, Gene was overheard chanting, “May the force be with you Kobe-one-Kenobi!” 

I fear too many Mavericks fans will jump on the Kobe Train, leaving Dirk to wallow in a sea of sadness as all Mavs fans wish, they had Kobe wearing Mavs blue not Dirk.

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.

The Mavericks Are Misfits

So the man who was supposed to win us a championship “this year” gets ejected!  Jerry Stackhouse and the rest of the crew can’t make a shot.  Only Dirk and The Jet showed any signs of playing like they were supposed to last night.  Bottom line, the Mavs have reached the depths of being pathetic.  I am disgusted when watching them.

After all the hype of the game three win against the Hornets, we get to watch a romp last night.  We really only have to look to game three to realize why the Mavs got blown out.  In game 3 they got lucky.  Yes, I said LUCKY!  In game 3 all the Mavs shots were falling, while the Hornets couldn’t buy a bucket.

Game 4, back to reality.  The Mavs don’t shoot well, the Hornets make shots when they have to.  In the third quater when the Mavericks cut the lead to 5, I thought this may be the start of something.  30 seconds later, I was about to shut the TV off.

I have said it time and time again, the Mavericks play like a bunch of school girls and I blame Avery Johnson.  There is no way this team wins three in a row.  And as the old saying goes, “If you can’t win three in row, Avery must go.” 

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.
