Bring on the Suns!DALLAS -- Did someone say unpredictable series?
The outcome wasn't all that unexpected, true, but let's be real. It's difficult to imagine the Dallas Mavericks taking a more bizarre path to reach their showdown of destiny with the little MVP they let walk all the way to the desert.
Lose the first two at home. Win the next three. Get blown out in Game 6. Then, in a Game 7 that left a superstar on each side feeling sickly -- explanations below -- Dallas rides contributions from a kid (Josh Howard) and a vet (Darrell Armstrong) and a playoff neophyte (Jason Terry) to humiliate the Houston Rockets by 40 points.
Huh?
Next you'll tell me the Mavs, shredded at times by Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming even in this 116-76 laugher, have a plan to stop the Suns' pick and roll.
