Daisies, Daffodils Or Digs?

Bulls-At-Mavs: Fish On ESPN At 6:20 As We Look For Turnaround

By Mike Fisher -- DB.com

I bring nothing but daisies and daffodils. But elsewhere? Three harsh digs at your Mavs at they prepare for tonight’s tipoff at the AAC against the Bulls (and as I prepare for the 6:20 pregame coverage with Wally Lynn on the Mavs’ flagship station, ESPN 103.3:

Dig 1: A troubling trend,’’ writes Tim MacMahon. “The Mavs' last three losses have come by 28, 24 and 34 points. And there were 28- and 20-point losses last month, too. All those 20-plus-point losses were on the road. When the going gets tough, the Mavs get the team plane warmed up.’’

Dig 2: From Ball Don't Lie: "Dallas, a team that has a tendency to fold once it gets hit in the mouth, folded after it got hit in the mouth.''

Dig 3: From Eddie Sefko, leaving the emotion out of it while pointing out a sobering factoid: "They are 11-0 when holding an opponent under 90 points, but the problem with that is they haven't done it in more than a month (Jan. 2 against Philadelphia).''

Let’s hope for media reviews that all are honey-baked hams and milk and honey and angel kisses and warm cookies and daisies and daffoldils and rainbows on unicorns after tonight, shall we?
