We know that regardless of what transpires tonight in Dallas a return trip to Miami is imminent and the Mavericks will have a chance to bring a title back home. A pivotal swing Game 5 awaits. What should be a magical night, and what should be a memorable night regardless of the outcome.
Questions about the bench of the Mavericks were answered when DeSean Stephenson (of all people) got the crowd fired up by hitting a trio of three's off the bench. Dirk Nowitzki sort of called out Jason Terry prior to Game 4. Suffice to say the Jet answered loudly with seven first half points.
With over 80,000 fans expected to go attend the Gold Cup in Arlington and another 20,000 or so fans headed to the AAC for the fourth weekend in a row the eyes of the nation were on North Texas. This will be the case again when racing returns to Texas Motor Speedway on June 11th.
This will mark the third straight playoff round I attended Game 3. Tonight's matchup important in that (as has been reported ad-infinitum elsewhere) since 1985 the team that wins Game 3 in a 1-all series goes on to win the NBA Title 11 for 11 times. May tonight not prove to be a dirty dozen for the Dallas Mavericks.
