The Dallas Mavericks are NBA champion

A couple months ago, after « The Decision », I explained why it would not work, why the Miami Heat will not be the 2011 NBA champion. Always easier  to « criticize ». Turned out I was right although my other pronostics fell off. To say the truth I was not expecting the Heat to be contender this year. But they showed that they are a dangerous team.

I’m glad the Mavs finally won their first title. It is important because it demonstrates that « Old School Basketball » remains up in the air, you know pick-and-roll stuff and all collective fundamentals. Congrats to Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd and Jason Terry for the accomplishment.

Why Miami will not win NBA title

Now that the auto-proclaimed King made his decision for next year, Miami, for those who don’t follow, what can we learn from the 2010 Free-agency?

  • Miami will unlikely win championship next year (but will sell more jerseys than ever)
  • Bosh stats will drop as he won’t get the ball
  • Curious to see how Dwyane and Lebron will share the ball and shot tickets
  • Who is going to join these 3 guys to be role player?
  • Nike (shoes) has these 3 guys under contract
  • What is the Toronto Raptors getting in return?
