Dallas Mavericks: Game 7 Reaction

Alright, this thing is starting to get some legs under it. A solid win against OKC at home and a win that they should get against a not-even-rebuilding Suns team and this thing rolls in at 3-4 today.

Take away the ridiculously awesome buzzer-beater by Durant in Game 3 at OKC and this thing is 4-3. Not too shabby for all the new parts still figuring out how to play together.

Two thoughts:
1) Delonte West is a nice surprise. I must admit that I was not convinced when the signing was announced, but whether it's moneyball stats management was rolling the dice on or simply the right fit, he's playing really well and proving to be a good addition.
2) Odom seems to be getting out of his funk. Good. I don't want to see Odom from Game 1 again: four minutes and an ejection. I prefer tonight's 15 points and 5 boards version.
