As I'm watching the 1st half of game 6...

I can't help but feel the need to reflect on this great season by the Mavericks, as we bid them a fond farewell.

Dirk Nowitzki - Dude, you are the man, but you still have some growing up to do in your head. Your physical skills are far above your mental toughness, as shown in the Finals. We look forward to seeing you grow even further next year, and get some more MVP votes. Good stuff you big German

Josh Howard - If this club had you healthy all year, you would've been even better, and the Mavs would've had home court vs the Spurs. Youre that good, when you want to be. Like Dirk, you've gotta work on your clutchness. Maybe thats something you can't work on. I don't know. Love you, man.

Jason Terry - I hope Cuban brings this guy back for as long as he would like to stay. Say what you want about a Steve Nash replacement. That move is justified now as at least the Mavs get a Western Conference Champion banner to hang up. JET is clutch, and clutch is everything in life, no matter what happened in the Finals.

Avery Johnson - Exceeded all expectations, and the Coach of the Year is well deserved. Without Avery, this team doesn't get anywhere close to the Finals. As long as Avery keeps his cool, doesn't stress himself out too much, he'll be succesful for some time.

DeSagana Diop - What a find by Donnie Nelson. This guy needs to add just a little tiny bit of offense to his game, and he's going to be a nice player for years to come.

Devin Harris - So much placed on a young mans shoulders who wasn't ready for it, and he did really well. No one can guard Wade, that's certain. So don't feel bad dude. You owned Tony Parker, and thats what matters to me! Avery will have this young man playing better and better all the time.

Daniels - You need to trust yourself dude. Good minutes in the Finals.

Damp - Still not worth the money, but he sure shut down Shaq very well. Too bad they have Wade.

Stack - Love that hard foul. They never would've gotten this far (especially vs San Antonio) without you. Remember to share the ball, and stick around in Dallas. We can do some things around here, if you hadn't noticed.

KVH - Yeah I don't know about your time here. What I do know about, is that it's over. Sorry dawg.

Griffin & Armstrong - I'm sorry we couldn't get you one guys. You carried this team on your back sometimes. God love ya.

To all the Mavericks - it was a wonderful season, and certainly a little unexpected. Even though no one will admit it. New coach, new defensive schemes, totally new system, and you made it all the way to the Finals. That's a fine job, and one that the Dallas Stars could learn a little something from.

Congratulations to Dwyane Wade. He could not have done it, without himself.

Dwyane Wade - Your 2006 NBA Finals Champion(s)
