2011 NBA Playoffs Preview – Dallas Mavericks
Next stop on our 2011 NBA Playoff preview is Dallas, TX home to the Dallas Mavericks. The best way to sum up this group of Mavs is as such: good-but-not-good-enough. Put another way, the Mavericks are always the bridesmaid, never the bride. We can keep going with the cliches, but you get the point. Always amongst the league’s elite in the regular season, Dallas is always amongst the first to hit the golf course come April. Is 2011 the year the Mavs get over the proverbial hump and bring the Larry O’Brien Trophy back to the Lonestar State?
Home Games Played At: American Airlines Center
Key Players: Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, Shawn Marion
Head Coach: Rick Carlisle
How They Fared in 2010: Lost to the San Antonio Spurs in 6 games in the Western Conference Quarter Finals
Dallas Mavericks Playoffs Prediction For 2011: We feel for you, Dirk Nowitzki. We feel for you, Mark Cuban. Honestly, its tough to have pity on millionaires and billionaires, but c’mon, how much losing can such a proud franchise endure? Cuban is always willing to open the checkbook for talent, and Dirk is one of the NBA’s most talented players. With the likes of quality players named Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, Shawn Marion, and Brendan Haywood, you would think the Mavericks would have won at least one crown in the last decade. Not so fast my friend. After blowing a 2-0 lead and a double digit 4th quarter game lead to the Miami Heat in the 2006 NBA Finals, things have never been the same for the Dallas Mavericks. They probably never will be. This roster can be described as “veteran” at best, more accurately as “old,” and it’s window for winning a championship has probably closed. Too soft to compete with the big boys in the West, The Lakers, Spurs, and Thunder, expect another postseason collapse and early exit in the 2011 playoffs for the Dallas Mavericks.

Will this be the end of Lebron’s less-than-expected season, or will he prove The Decision was actually one worth making? Will the Celtic’s be able to return the trophy to Beantown? What about LA? Can someone stop Kobe’s quest to beat MJ’s record? How sweet would it be for Chicago to bring some post-Jordan glory to Chicagoland by thwarting Kobe’s second three-peat attempt? What about the Nuggets? They have the best record in the NBA since ridding themselves of perennial ball-hog Melo, and have one of the great coaches of the game directing their traffic. Though as a Denver native I’m certainly hoping the Nuggets bring the first ever Championship back home with them, mostly I’m just excited to watch. This is my favorite time of the year, forget the Superbowl, this is where the action is. As a DISH customer and employee I’m looking forward to nothing more than sitting back and watching all the post season magic in awesome DISH Network HD.
