Sometimes you just have to vent.
These were the old Mavs.
The defenseless, out-quicked, step-slow Mavs.
The Dirk's-not-the-MVP-even-if-he-wins-it Mavs.
The out-pointed, out-hustled, out-coached, outhouse Mavs.
The Bob Ortegel rose-colored glasses Mavs.
The heart-of-a-chump, not-a-champ Mavs.
What happened?
Golden State 109-91.
The possibility is now very real.
The Mavs may be the first No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 8 seed since the start of the seven-game playoff system.
Sunday is so crucial. Imagine Mark Cuban losing to Don Nelson.
Go Mavs. But the heart is sinking.
