During this week's blog we will discuss how NBA commentators love to make excuses for NBA teams and NBA players when they are in a serious slump or winning drought. Often times when an NBA team experiences an extremely long road trip, they tend to lose about 10 out of 13 games, unless they are a championship caliber team such as the San Antonio Spurs or the Detriot Pistons.
For example, last season during the playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks, the team with the best record in the NBA, fell to the last seed, Golden State Warriors, in the first round of the playoffs. Throughout this entire series I heard several excuses such as, "This Dallas team has always had a problem with the crowd at the Golden State Arena." If you ask me, that is a bunch of bull sugar honey iced tea; there is no reason a professional team should have a problem closing out a game because a couple thousand people are making noise, especially if they only lost about 12 games out of 82 during the season. So commentators, if you are reading this blog, please pay close attention to what you are saying about these multi-million dollar athletes. Thank you.
