The Dallas Mavericks were clearly the NBA's best team this year. They won 67 and lost just 15 before entering the playoffs, and as the Western Conference's best team, they earned the right to play the lowest-seeded team, the Golden State Warriors, in the first round.

The real question before this series started was how many games it would take Dallas to win this best-of-seven series. Golden State, then promptly went into Dallas and took the first game, and home-court advantage. The Mavericks had three chances to win at Golden State and regain home-court advantage, and they figured to do so. After all, Dallas was an amazing 32-10 in road games during the year.

The Warriors' confidence seemed to grow after they won the series opener, and after Dallas won game two, Golden State went home for games three and four. The Warriors' fans literally willed their team to two straight wins, and all of a sudden people began to imagine an outcome that few thought possible before the series began.

After almost winning the series in game five in Dallas, Golden State returned home and finished it with a convincing win. The Warriors' upset has captured the nation's attention, and I for one am rooting for them to win the NBA title. It very well may not happen, but it will be fun to watch them try. Nothing was expected of them, and they have nothing to lose, all of which makes this a great story, and must-see TV for me.
