Since he didn't, does this imply that there *was* something special about the '11 cast? This can go on and on...

As for whether you "have to admit anything" or not...I certainly wasn't speaking specifically to you. Rather, I was speaking of the general Mavs fan. If you are an exception to that, great. I love optimism as much as the next guy. It's why I am charged up about next year's team.

The thing that was "special" about the group was that they played toward the peak at the right time, handled their roles and played together. They also had luck along the way and responded when they easily could have gone off the tracks. It's not a given that they would or would not have done those same things going forward. The only thing that was certain was that they were due to be paid and that was going to cause an issue with what was about to happen with the CBA.
