Oh, Those Mavericks

I almost wrote a gushing blog post about how the Mavs seemed to have turned things around and were turning themselves into a high-quality team...I'm glad I decided to hold off on that:

The Jazz buried the visitors in the second and third quarters, running away for a 115-87 demolition of the four-game winning streak the Mavericks brought to Utah.

That would be a Utah Jazz that was missing Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko. Anyway, not to over-react to a loss. But I guess that's the lesson here. Don't get too excited by some wins, and don't get too bummed out by a bad (well, inexcusable) loss. These guys are what they are, and they ought to make the playoffs, but they probably won't make it very far. Still, it would be nice if they'd quite teasing us with big wins over good teams.
