Mavericks… Sayin' it

So as of 2 seconds ago, the Mavericks just beat the 76ers at the AAC. This advanced their record to 7-4, which is honestly better then I or any other sane individual in this city predicted them to be at this point. When you look at the lineup we have, it doesn't really intimidate anyone:

PG- Jose Calderon- as average as average is

SG- Monta Ellis- Yeah he scores a lot, but prior to this season, has averaged high teens, low 20's PPG along with about a billion shots a game

SF- Shawn Marion- great defender and the prime example of how one should look when shooting a jump shot, but nothing special overall

PF- Dirk Nowitzki- nothing needs to be said about Dirk showing up now or ever

C- Samuel Dalembert- gets rebounds, who cares

6th Man- Vince Carter- Best player in the NBA

As average as this lineup looked preseason, they have shown glimmers of being a deep playoff team. Dirk is always going to give great numbers on offense, but the real stud has been Monta Ellis, setting a Mavericks record for most points scored through first 4 games with the team at 100. Along with stellar defensive play top to bottom, the Mavericks might prove to be something to be reckoned with come playoff time.

And with enthusiasm and production value like this, how can we go wrong, MFFL baby
