6 Reasons Why Mavs Fans Should Stop Crying

This has already been tackled in depth through every media form and outlet imaginable but I have a few points to make (none of which are probably new to you):

1. Antoine Wright did a piss-poor job of fouling. Generally if you want to intentionally foul someone, you should wrap them up and UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU EVER THROW YOUR HANDS UP LIKE YOU WOULD IF YOU WERE NOT TRYING TO FOUL.
2. Nobody started bitching until the shot went down. If you watch the replay, the entire Dallas bench watches the ball go in, then they started arguing that there should have been a foul.
3. Melo doesn't get calls like most super stars do. Why start now?
4. Wright slapped the ball out of Carmelo's hands. If Carmelo loses the ball out of bounds, it's the Nuggets who are upset there was no foul call.
5. Yeah the Mavs had a foul to give. It was still the Nuggets' ball with around 5 seconds left. Sure, they could have messed up the inbound, missed the shot, only made a 2, etc... Nobody knows what would have happened but Mavs Fan likes to think the game was over if that foul is called.
   
6. Melo still had to make the shot.
   

If you get the chance, check out this Outside The Lines piece on Chauncey Billups. Chauncey made it big in Detroit, winning a championship and cultivating a reputation as "Mr. Big Shot". The Prodigal Son returned to lead a spastic Denver team to the 2nd Round (and beyond?) for the first time in 15 years. You couldn't ask for a better story, unless... nah, better not.
