Mavericks humiliation is almost complete

Well, my Dallas Mavericks' humiliation is almost complete.

Remember, this is the team that won 67 games, and had one of the best regular seasons in NBA history, and could have won 70 games if they had tried.

But that then lost in the first round of the playoffs.

Why is the Mavericks' humiliation so great?

Because the Mavericks lost the losers' bracket.

Golden State was too much for the Mavericks in Round 1, but they weren't too much for Utah, which lost in convincing fashion to Phoenix, which was beaten by the Spurs.

So the Mavericks' bracket turned out to be the losers' bracket, and the Mavericks were the ultimate losers.

The reason the Mavericks' humiliation is not yet complete is that the Spurs are going to win the title, which means that the Mavericks had simply won the losers' bracket, they had a great chance of going to the Finals.

Jeez . . .
