Mav's coach Carlye being interviewed by Rome (this is us in 2012))

paraphrasing here

"I don't know if being the defending champions is a blessing or a curse. Every team gives you their best shot. I've never seen so many bad / difficult shots go in. Sometimes it feels like there are cosmic forces working against us"


Come on man, was that not our 11/12 season?

 

[Scoe]

They at least got to have their star player back to defend their championship, although they did lose Chandler and Barea. That would be like us losing Oriaki and Napier but having Kemba back. The NBA schedule doesnt really help the Mavs it hurts the veteran teams.

 

[Dann]

7 of 11 games in a row a 3 was banked in. something like that.

I think we had a banked 3 go in against us in like 6 straight
