I didn't realize that the Mavs have never been swept in a seven game series. Kind of a nice stat. I wonder if franchises like Boston, Chicago, L.A. and S.A. can say the same thing.
Dirk’s been destroying Denver on the blocks this series. I was expecting to see more of that in the regular season. That’s one of the first things Carlisle talked about after getting hired but it never really materialized.
Props to Josh for grinding his way to a 20-10 on a night when he wasn't at his best. That's two straight games where he's come away with a huge offensive rebound in the final two minutes.
I wonder if Carlisle would consider starting Bass in game five. Damp's advantage should be pounding Denver on the offensive glass but it hasn't really happened. Outside of that he's probably not going to give you much. It's not all his fault but we're not shutting down the lane with our without him.
