Lebron James Failed: we are all Cleveland Cavaliers today (or so it seems)

By

Schadenfreude is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. This notoriously untranslatable German word is used as a loanword in English, and it perfectly encapsulates what American NBA fans feel today after the Dallas Mavericks denied the Miami Heat the league title. I guess it's fitting the Finals MVP (Dirk Nowitzki) who did them in was a native of Wurzburg, … [Read more...] about Lebron James Failed: we are all Cleveland Cavaliers today (or so it seems)

Dallas Mavericks 105, Miami Heat 95, Game 6: Dirk, Mavs Uber Alles

By

Well, I guess we know who took the "talent vs. team" argument. It's hard not to bring up "The Decision" and the utterly stupid Miami Heat what should have been a press conference but instead became an absurdly pre-emptive and arrogant pseudo-championship rally. It's not Key Lime, but instead humble pie that's being served in south Florida right now. Wade at that rally: … [Read more...] about Dallas Mavericks 105, Miami Heat 95, Game 6: Dirk, Mavs Uber Alles

Dallas Mavericks 95, Miami Heat 93 Finals Game 2: Ich bein ein Nowitzki!

By

The Miami Heat had the Dallas Mavericks on the ropes in game two of the NBA Finals. And had they held on it would have been the likely end of the series. Would Dallas go quietly into that good night. 2006 MVP and German national Dirk Nowitzki's game said NEIN!! He then owned the velociraptor resembling Chris Bosh with a three and hook shot that said DAS IS SEHR GUT! -Why do … [Read more...] about Dallas Mavericks 95, Miami Heat 93 Finals Game 2: Ich bein ein Nowitzki!

Ding Dong, Mavericks will Soon make L.A. Lakers Dead

By

Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks are proving they are no fluke in the Western Conference semifinals, taking a commanding 3-0 lead over the former two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. “Beat L.A.” was the chant Friday night that energized the Mavericks to a 98-92 decision in Game 3 on their hardwood at the sold out American Airlines Center. Nowitzki capped off … [Read more...] about Ding Dong, Mavericks will Soon make L.A. Lakers Dead
