My home team is going down the tubes in a hurry. They are on their way out of the playoffs so fast all you can see is the smoke rising from the gym floor. Here's my analysis for what it's worth.

The Mavs are being taken down by the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the NBA playoffs. It seems the #1 seed would take down the #8 seed, but it ain't happening, brother. The Mavs have lost to the Warriors for the last two seasons, so one would think they'd work hard at determining thier weaknesses. But it seems they haven't made such corrections and will not before the season ends for the Mavs.

It reminds me a of student that is weak in a subject and doesn't do anything to prepare for an exam thinking s/he can make up in the areas that s/he is strong. In this case, the weak area is the dominant test, so the student is doomed for failure. It's all but too late to start studying now. The test is almost over. One more quiz and it's a done deal.

Too bad for the Mavs. After a 67 win season, they will fall in an almost sweep. I feel sorry for Avery Johnson. All his hard work down the drain. But a team that is used to open shots like the Mavs are can't win against a team that is heavy on real defense.

It's been a good run for the Mavs, but it looks like the end of the rainbow is straight ahead.

Keep it real.
