One of the headlines over at NBA.com reads 'Dirk-Less Mavs Coast Past Clippers'. So what? For crying out loud, it's the Clippers. A title contender playing without one of their starters should not lose at home to a team like the Clippers since the conference standings are so close.
If they had lost this game, they should not be in the playoffs. Talking about the Mavs in the playoffs, seems like 36% of Americans do not want them in the playoffs. What make things worse is that in the state of Texas itself, 42% of Texans do not want them in the playoffs. 25% of Texans do not want the Spurs in the playoffs. What is wrong with the people from Texas?
