It was fun today, basking in the glow of the NBA Championship. First major sports championship in this area for twelve years (the Stars won the Stanley Cup). In fact, of all the major sports franchises in DFW, the Cowboys have gone the longest without an appearance in a championship. Can somebody buy Jerry Jones a clue?
This victory was so satisfying on so many levels. Beating the "chosen one", for starters. All the hype means nothing without the ring. And how the Mavs won. One superstar, and a lot of committed veteran role players.
The turning point of the series may have been the Wade-James show to put them up by fifteen in game 2, but the turning point last night was Stevenson's bump of a Heat player after Miami took the lead in the 2nd. Instead of a quick timeout for the Mavs to settle down, it took fifteen minutes for order to be restored, bu which time the adrenalin of the Miami players and fans was gone.
