First Time For Everything

For the first time ever in a seven-game series, the number eight-seeded team toppled the top dogs in their conference. The Golden State Warriors made seemingly easy work of the Dallas Mavericks who were coming off a season that had them garnering one of the top-ten win totals of NBA history. Despite their lofty win total, the fact that the Warriors dominated them in the regular season, had great matchups for Dallas' lineup across the board and had former Mavericks coach Don Nelson behind the bench, this nearly seemed destined to happen. While sports fans in Dallas have gone through a lot in the past year, this is definitely the lowest point that they could get to. At the very least, they should feel good that their choke artist Dirk Nowitzki will be taking home the MVP award when it's handed out.
