Oh wow.

Tim Legler was just talking on NBA Fastbreak. Kevin Fraser and Legler were talking about the Pistons and the NBA Finals.

"That's fine, it [defense but no offense] might get you out of the East, but when you start playing teams like Sacramento, the Lakers, Minnesota, and Dallas in the Finals, it doesn't matter."

He mentioned Dallas and NBA Finals in the same sentence. Also, he left out San Antonio. Greatness. I'm going to start reading his columns just because of that.

Oh oh oh! Again. They showed the match-ups for Wednesday night on ESPN, Dallas at Indiana and Kings at Lakers. Legler said, "Hey! Those are four great teams right there."

Thank you Legler. Thank you for giving some props to the Mavs. Good to see not everyone in the media bashes the Mavs.

By the way, I keep trying to post questions on the chats with Bill Walton and such analysts. None of them have made it though. The question I always pose is, "Why is it so cool to bash the Mavs? What does everyone have against them?"

My whole example was when they played Phoenix the first time this month. The post-game highlights on ESPN heavily featured the Suns, with only one shot going to Dirk. The Suns LOST! Why highlight a losing team?
