I don't often blog about sports, and when I do it's about baseball (opening day coming soon!) Yes, I'm a Mavericks fan (due to living in Dallas for three years.) No, I don't believe the Mavs have any shot at all. They probably didn't have a shot even before Dirk Nowitzki bent his leg backwards. But I did want to point everyone to this gem by Jason Kidd [1]:

“Winning has always been a great deodorant”

Most definitely, Mr. Kidd.
