Mavericks 95, Cavaliers 92

It's just what Sefko was writing about earlier, the Mavs are the Anti-Lebrons. Lebron James, the new god of basketball, will get his. You know this. The Mavs tried everything they could, the Mavs being a dang good team, and the guy scores 39 points. All of the highlights, all of the recap, was about Lebron James. Good for him. The problem? He wasn't on the winning team. And that's just fine with the Mavs. Put Lebron out there, show his dunks and crazy 3-pointers and his excellent skills, and then just sort of tack on the fact that the Mavs won their zillionth straight. They are fine flying under whatever radar they can at this point. They keep winning. It doesn't stop.

Nowitzki had 24, Jason Terry had 20, Josh Howard had 17. Do you notice how the Big 3 always produce? Good, because I do. Nowitzki had 11 rebounds and 7 assists. So he's shooting a million for double-doubles, he's shooting a .000 for triple-doubles. But the guy gets dang close. Howard had 10 rebounds himself. Dampier had a solid game with 10 points and 9 rebounds.

The Mavs also swept the Western Conference Monthly Awards, getting the Player (Nowitzki) and Coach (Johnson).
