I’ve always disliked the Dallas Mavericks, not so much because of the players, but because of their asshat owner Mark Cuban.

But Cuban has wisely stayed in the background this time around (as opposed to the Mavs 2006 NBA Finals trip, also against Miami), leaving LeBron & Co. to be the assHeats.

And the Mavs are tough, as witness Thursday night’s beatdown of the Bosh-league Miami team.

Hey, Dirk and Jason – finish these guys off on Sunday.
