One of the ugliest performances in pro basketball ended last night. The Mavs stunk it up from game 1 and it never got much better. Blow out losses and tight wins – that’s no way for a team that is supposed to win the championship to play. Oh yeah, the MVP candidate spent a good part of the 4th quarter, crunch time, on the bench because he was adding nothing to the team. Dirk’s no MVP yet – a very good player yes, but no MVP. MVP’s don’t shrivel up at the big moments.

It’s GREAT to be home even though I didn’t get much sleep last night. Just being in my bed for a little while was a great treat but the best thing about being home is being with my wife and children. Nothing feels better than having them near me.

You have a candle, gas lamp and wood stove. You have one match. Which one will you light first?

This sounds like one of those interview questions. Sounds like you’re still in HR mode from your trip.There has to be a catch….
I go with the gas lamp. It is the most likely to keep burning right away.I totally agree with you about the Mavs. Two straight years of meltdown at crunch-time. They certainly won’t be scaring anybody.And Dirk is a great shooter — but NOT a leader. When faced with adversity, he shrivels.
