MaverChick

I've been a very devoted Mavericks fan this year. D let me sign us up for League Pass as an early Christmas present to myself and we have gotten our moneys worth out of that. I only missed a handful of the Mavericks' games all season.

Ever since the big trade with the Wizards, things have been looking up for the Mavericks. They had a fourteen game winning streak. They gradually climbed up Western Conference standings. But it's been interesting this year. Last year there were more teams in contention. I don't think the final teams had clinched until the very end of the season (similar to how it's playing out this year in the East between the Raptors and the Bulls.) But this year there have been a lot of ties. Take a look at the current Western Conference standings. (The Mavs have two games to go.)

After pasting that in there, I realize it's kind of hard to read at this size. So I'll just tell you, teams 3-5 are tied and teams 6-8 are tied. For posterity's sake, here's how things are looking in the East:

This basketball talk prompted me to go look at my fantasy league. I had forgotten to check in and see how things wrapped up (after the little debacle that I mentioned before).

Third place. I won't complain.
