What we currently have here with the Mavericks is a serious timing issue.
Tonight, we also will learn if they have run out of title time, although that's been a highly probable ending ever since the world championship club was blown up in December.
But first things first.
Game 3 in downtown Dallas is about making a series out of it, and about taking some of the thunder out of Oklahoma City. If I were a betting man...
OK, I am a betting man, but mainly four-legged as opposed to two-legged, although the temptation about Mavs minus-3 points on the Vegas line for this Game 3 could easily get the best of my bad habits.
