Raise it hard It ain't easy being king.
In the opening of the NBA season with a Finals rematch, the Dallas Mavericks looked old and slow losing to Lebron and Co., 105-94. And it wasn't even that close. The Mavericks took the final quarter 29-8 to get to within 11 points. Otherwise, it was a blowout.
What this should remind all of us is that Lebron James (37/10/6) and Dwayne Wade (26/8/6) did not win a title last season. That doesn't mean they are not very good.
Sadly, this post isn't about last season. That's in the past and it's thankfully hanging from the rafters. This is about this season.
Finally we got a glimpse at what Rick Carlisle is going to try to pass off as a starting five: Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki and Brendan Haywood.
And, as you can see from the score, it didn't go very well. Haywood -- wait for it! -- had zero points, three rebounds, four fouls and two turnovers. In 13 minutes. As many shots the Mavericks were missing, you'd think he'd get two or three offensive rebounds alone. Then again, he sucks.
Vince Carter wasn't much better. He filled it up with five points, two rebounds and three assists. He also committed three fouls and two turnovers. In essence, terrible.
Dirk Nowitzki wasn't much better (5-16) from the field) as the entire bench was cleared (Dom Jones and Roddy Beaubois at the apparent end) and it was just a disaster.
For 2011-12, at least. Just look at that banner.
