Mavericks win...........?

I'm a Rockets fan and I think the difference for the Mavs over most teams is the division they play in.

Every team they played in their division had a winning record. My team the Rockets had a winning record and didn't make the playoffs. I think that gave them the toughness it took to go on the road and win this. Take nothing from Cuban. He's shown he's willing to pay the money to get a championship team together. That's what it takes. He's eating a ton on the luxury tax.

I'd also add that while the Mavs have Dirk... they don't have to have cheap fouls called like the so-called superstars do, and not only the ones on the Heat, to amass points. In the end the Mavs were a better TEAM. If I were playing HORSE I'd prob want Lebron or Wade. But they we're playing a BB game, and so the best TEAM won.

Just because the Heat lost this year doesn't mean they aren't going to be a contender for a long time. If they take anything away from this year is maybe a little humility after losing to a team NO ONE expected to be there much less win it.
