The Mavs are ready to fire it up!

With an overwhelming 73% of those DBB readers who voted in our poll saying they’ll be rooting for the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals, we figured this goofy clip might be of interest:

In case you’re interested, both Ian and I are picking the Mavs. Ian is going with the safe “Mavs in 6″ pick, while I’m going out on a limb to say “Mavs in 5.”

Do I really think they’ll need just five games or am I just spiteful? I’m not entirely sure,Do I need to change that little blurb on the right to say “completely fair and unbiased opinions on 28 of the Association’s 30 teams”? but I do think that Dallas will be able to run Miami ragged, just like they did in the regular season when they won games by margins of 13 and 36 points. Some people are saying this series will be extremely close, but I’m predicting that three of the Mavericks’ four wins will be blowouts.

Light it up!

    I like to think that all NBA players show up to their games wearing their jerseys — it reminds me of my old CYO hoops days.

    I’m gonna be honest to say that I am very spiteful — Mavs in 4.

    Well, I’m just gonna pick the Mavs; ‘tho in 4 would work for me too, Angela.
    I have to say since I’m also a King’s fan as most of you know, it’s wierd rooting for the Mavs; but I soooo much want to see someone knock Wade on his katooshkie I’ll root for the Mavs to do it, WTF.

    & someone please tell Mark Cuban to keep his shirt on….. did you all hear him say he’ll run around naked if the Mavs win it?(oh please God, NO! have pity on my ojos!)…Where’s David Stern when you really need him?!

    What is the over/under on times Dwy-ane pretends to be hurt in the Finals? And furthermore, what about the number of times he lays on the floor, but is miraculously healed to make and open dunk when the Heats get the ball back?
