The NBA has been back for a whopping 2 days and already I'm sick of the Mavs haters. The "Experts" are saying that we got lucky last year. They're saying we have zero chance of a repeat. You don't have 11 straight 50 win seasons because the team is a fluke. You don't beat the blazers in 6 games after the world picked against you by catching some "lucky breaks." You don't sweep the defending NBA champs, Lakers, by things "luckily falling into place". You don't beat the up-and-coming thunder in 5 games just because the "thunder didn't show up". You don't beat the team pre-destined to win not 5, not 6, not 7 titles, in 6 games by "being a washed up team of veterans who managed to put it together".
I've never seen the media trying so hard to downplay a teams title run. It was the greatest over all team effort the league has seen in a while and I'm not sure why the media doesn't recognize and appreciate that.
Do these "experts" not realize that we won our Championship WITHOUT Caron Butler? Do they not know about Roddy B and his potential? Do they not realize we added Rudy Fernandez? Do they forget that Tyson Chandler (if resigned) is the 2nd best center in the game? I just get exhausted from reading and listening to big market, big name player, biased sports media (i.e. Colin Cowherd). Even our own Dallas media (Ben Rogers) says our title run was lucky. It just blows my mind that we finally win a title and it's STILL not good enough.
