Or that the refs decided to go full 2006 finals mode against us.

My expectations for the team my have been tempered somewhat, but it doesn't change my opinion about Rick being a strong COY candidate.

Didn't the same thing happen vs Milwaukee?

You would think that was a good learning experience but nope 2 games later the exact same thing happens only this time the mavs weren't lucky enough to escape their own collapse

I still debate that billy Donavan has done a better job
