As a long-time Mavericks fan here looks like the effort and patience for years are now yielding a good result,"at least for now", after the sudden fall of the championship roster during the post-season of their championship years.
I don't give up on Dallas Mavericks since I become interested to them way back 2003 and never expected they will reach the finals in 2006 and finally able to chip a trophy in 2011. That era is composed of monster teams that's why I never thought seeing Dirk Nowitzki will snatch that Finals MVP. Sad that Steve Nash and Michael Finley wasn't able to share the championship trophy with Dirk.
And after they won a chip in 2011, this team became one of the underperforming teams in the West. But still, if I saw some interesting Moneyline odds to them, I do put some few bucks as support. My friends know how I'm an avid fan of this team so I'm happy with their progress now.
Their last playoffs appearance was way back 2015-16 season. I hope I will see them back at Playoffs this season.
And once again they are playing with monster teams all over the West. Could this be another deja vu of what happened in 2011?
Sorry for my crazy thoughts.
I do remember that.
They were against the Heat with the the trio of Bosh, Wade and Lebron and still they were stopped by the monster shooting of Dirk and also the perfect freethrow shooting.
Ahhhh, so good to watch that game. The Heat really though they are the champions and so does the NBA fans.
