He does that a lot.

Was 2011 a fluke where everything lined up perfectly??
Or are they a cursed team that actually deserved some good luck that year?

2007 1st rd
2008 1st rd
2009 2nd rd
2010 1st rd
2011 WON
2012 1st rd
2013 no playoffs
2014 1st rd
2015 1st rd

every year Dallas is a 50+ win team that gets bounced quickly for some reason.

Dont forget about that pushoff that got him that three.

But Houston clearly outplayed the Mavs throughout the entire series.

I would go 2011 was a fluke. The Mavs are built for the regular season and are just not tough enough for the post season.

Wth the Mavs were one of the weakest teams coming into the playoffs, they shouldve been swept.

Whether they face Spurs or Clips, Rockets will be shell shocked wondering why they dont bend over like the Mavs did.

I wish OKC or Jazz were in over Mavs and TrailBlazers. Wouldve been a more competitive first round

I would say fluke because Cuban builds his team around offense and they play hardly any defense. Tough to win a championship like that.

Giving Chandler Parsons a max deal was beyond stupid. Trading for Rondo.. Stupid. Now they are old and need a face lift bad.

With all the blame being pointed towards Rajon Rondo (and deservedly so), let's not forget about their other multi-million dollar acquisition this year...Amar'e Stoudemire. One of the most overrated flops of his generation. He went 1-5 shooting and only had 3 rebounds. Are you kidding me? 23 million dollar salary this year, 6'11" tall, and all you can muster for your team is 3 rebounds? Then again, he was only played 11 minutes by Coach Carlisle. It makes me wonder if Coach isn't a large part of this problem as well. Just saying...
