Making all kind of excuses for the Lakers poor showing and grudgingly giving credit to the Mavs. They say the Lakers are old and tired. Well, so are the Mavs. I'm not going to look it up, but I would say the average age of the Mavs team is just as old as the Lakers. They say the Lakers have added stress of being 2 time defending champs and that those extra games from the past 2 years have really taken it out of them. What? If you have already won two I would think they could play pretty stress free knowing what it takes to get to the finals and accomplish the task at hand.
If it was the Mavs collapsing like this all you would hear is how soft they are and good the opponent is. Right now, except for the TNT analyst crew and members of the Dallas media there are a lot of writers trying to cover there asses in picking the Lakers to roll the Mavs. Begrudgingly giving credit to the Mavs but really just making excuses for the Lakers. I'm loving it and hope the Mavs can keep it up.
If the Lakers really can just turn it on and off as they wish like the writers have been telling us all year, they better do it quick. Otherwise they are making a bunch of these national writers look just as soft and dysfunctional as themselves.
