I think Dirk, along with the Mavericks faithful, finally woke up tonight. That was definitely the most electric first-round game I’ve ever been to. You would’ve thought we were fighting for the championship the way the fans were yelling. Our defense still isn’t quite there yet, and the Warriors are still hitting some incredibly tough shots. That said, it’s still ride or die with #41. If he doesn’t step up, it’s over.
It’s time to earn those MVP chants, Dirk.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Dirk’s newest fan:
The location: Bubba’s in University Park. The chicken’s better than the chain restaurants, but the traffic is so bad on Saturday, I don’t know if it’s really worth it. But to see Quan wear a shirt with Dirk’s big ol’ mug in front of it, priceless.
Let the good times roll.
In case you did not know, it’s going to be a pretty good week of Mavs basketball. We have the Rockets on Tuesday and The Lake Show on Thursday. My buddy Quan and I like to talk a little noise whenever the Rockets take on the Mavs, so after our latest round of verbal jousting, he made a interesting proposition:
The man knows my weakness! However, in the spirit of friendly competition, I accepted. So, if the Mavericks happen to mess this one up for me, you’ll be cordially invited to witness a once-in-a-lifetime event. I may just bring the Apocalypse upon us all.
Quan, I hope you like those Nowitzness tees.
