Mavs and 50 wins. - I think I posted this last year.

For the 11th straight year the Mavs won 50 games, which is truly a great feat.

Here is the negative side from and artilcel on ESPN
Consider the exclusive company:
*Bill Russell’s Celtics won at least 50 games for 10 straight seasons, spanning from 1958-59 to 1967-68. Boston won nine championships during that decade-long run, plus another after going 48-34 in the 1968-69 season.
*Magic Johnson’s Lakers won at least 50 games in 12 straight seasons, starting with his rookie campaign in 1979-80. The Lakers held five championship parades in downtown Los Angeles during that era.
*Tim Duncan’s Spurs recently extended their 50-win run to a dozen straight seasons. They’ve won three titles during that run, plus one more in the lockout-shortened season right before the streak started.

Maybe I should hate the Spurs, but I just enjoy the wins.


No wonder Nowitzki can’t even muster up false excitement about hitting 50 wins again, a streak that is evidence of his excellence and owner Mark Cuban's commitment. Historic as it is, it’s a hollow accomplishment without at least one ring.
