Raise the Banner…
Posted on 27 Dec 2011 by Andy R Strom.
Christmas day had finally arrived and with that family, food, presents and the Opening day of the 2011-2012 NBA season. For the Mavs this was their 31st season opener, but very unlike the previous 30. This particular season opener was accompanied by a banner raising…a championship banner raising. I’m man enough to admit that I did tear up. I have been waiting my whole life to witness such a...

2011 NBA Champions
Posted on 14 Jun 2011 by Andy R Strom.
I could read that title for days…and I may never come out of this haze. The Dallas Mavericks entered game 6 with a 3-2 lead in the series and a chance to take home the Larry O’Brien Trophy. I knew that this Mavs team would step on their throats in game 6, knowing that the savvy veteran laden Mavs wanted to have to play a game 7 in Miami. Everyone was eagerly awaiting the start of this ...

Mavs in Good Position After Game 5, Look to End Series in Game 6
Posted on 12 Jun 2011 by Andy R Strom.
Don’t call it a comeback in game 5. Call it routine, call it a playback, whatever you want to call it in the end we call it a win. The Mavs came from behind closing another game out strong for the W. The Mavs and Heat entered game 5 tied at 2 games a piece, making game 5 a huge game. The Mavs would be without the services of Brenden Haywood again as he is still bothered by a hip flexor issue....

Comeback Kids Fall Short in Game 3
Posted on 7 Jun 2011 by Andy R Strom.
Game 3 felt a lot like game 2 except that the Mavs fell 2 points short of the Heat. Dallas did cut down on the turnovers and rebounded better than in game 2, but it wasn’t enough to get the win. The Mavs played from behind most of the game again and went on one of their 4th quarter comebacks that we are so accustomed to by now. The absence of Haywood was a big blow to the Mavs defensive and r...

Game 2 Great to See, Now Bring on Game 3
Posted on 5 Jun 2011 by Andy R Strom.
The Dallas Mavericks pulled off yet another furious comeback in the 4th quarter. The Mavs trailed by 15 after Dwayne Wade hit a three from the corner then held his follow through for the sculptor sitting behind the Mavs bench…Oh there was no sculptor I’m told. The Mavs then started to sure up things on the defensive end of the court, make shots and take advantage of a Heat team that had obv...

Game One. Over and Done
Posted on 1 Jun 2011 by Andy R Strom.
Game one of the NBA Finals was not a great one if you are a Mavs fan. But the Mavs had previously won each game one in each of their previous series and this is also the first time that the Mavs have trailed in a series this postseason so we got a little spoiled. But it’s also not concerning to me nor should it be. The Mavs have to deal with exactly what they thought they would. A very athlet...

Best in the West
Posted on 26 May 2011 by Andy R Strom.
I’ll start out by saying…hooray. There, I’ve celebrated the Conference Title. Moving on… As far as game 5 went, the Dallas Mavericks came from behind late to get the win in game 5, much like they did in game 4, except this time it was for the series. The Thunder are a great young team and have lots of talent and potential, but to get to the top of the summit you have to handle some bump...

Mavs Shine as Thunder Fade
Posted on 24 May 2011 by Andy R Strom.
Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals was one with a lot of excitement late…or early…depending on who you were rooting for. The Mavs pretty much looked to be showing their age early in the game, but always managed to keep it just close enough. My father, who lives back in my hometown in Texas is an avid sports fan and will call me often when our teams play. He’s a bit of a worrier and m...

Dirk is Definition of Consistent, Mavs Take Game 1 of West Finals
Posted on 18 May 2011 by Andy R Strom.
The Dallas Mavericks came into Tuesday’s game with eight days of rest since knocking off the defending champ LA Lakers in four games. The Thunder on the other hand, had to turn the corner quickly after just finishing their previous series with Memphis in game 7 on Sunday. Leading up to the game most of the talk centered on the rest vs. rust factor for Dallas and how the youth vs. veteran angl...

Mavs end Lakers Season in 4
Posted on 9 May 2011 by Andy R Strom.
Well, I think it was Tirico on the telecast who said something like, If you’re a Mavs fan right now all you can say is wow. And that’s exactly what I was saying. Wow. It was apparent early in game 4 that the Mavs came in on Sunday with the intention of ending this series and sending the Lakers on vacation. And on the other side of things, the Lakers just didn’t bring the intensity that is...

Mavs Back Lakers Into Corner
Posted on 7 May 2011 by Andy R Strom.
Well, before the series between the Mavericks and Lakers started, I did hear some predictions of a sweep…except it was from Laker fans. It was a little crazy of a prediction, but the Lakers are the 2-time defending NBA champs and we all know the Mavs playoff history…so not the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. But I’ve said it before and I'll say it again, this Mavs team is unlike any oth...

Mavs Clicking, Take First Two Games
Posted on 5 May 2011 by Andy R Strom.
The Dallas Mavericks went into the Staples Center again on Wednesday night and walked out with a 93-81 win and a 2-0 series lead. The Mavs seem to be clicking on just about every cylinder. They are just flat out playing some good basketball. The Mavs opened the game going 11 of 23 in the first quarter, looking sharp offensively and playing tough on the defensive end. The first quarter set the t...
