The Mavericks lost. Ugh.

Still, the fact they had made it as far as they did gives me reason to appreciate the incredible season they had. In what was billed as building year, where they were expected to make the playoffs and nothing more, turned into one of the best NBA post-seasons ever. I will readily admit that Miami - or at least Dwyane Wade - deserved to win, I guess I'm happiest for Alonzo Mourning. Mourning, as some of you may know, had a kidney transplant in 2003.

It's a tough enough to compete in the NBA when you're healthy. But to come back from an organ transplant? Unreal.

The Mavericks had their opportunities, but it seemed that midway through the third quarter they just accepted their fate. Still, they came real close.

So now, it's on to baseball and the Texas Rangers. Oy veh!

At least they're in first place. I guess that when they falter (usually in August) it will be just in time for the Cowboy's training camp to begin.

Anyway...

How would you like to be this guy?

Or this guy?

Or him?

Or even this guy?

I guess it would be a lot better than being this guy!
