Everybody knows those numbers are bad and not to be messed with.

June 6, 2006, only two teams remain in the NBA Playoffs, meeting in the NBA Finals.

June 2006, Dallas Mavericks defeated Phoenix Suns in six games, winning their first ever conference title, advancing to their first ever NBA Finals. Mavs go 2-0 up on the Heat, then the curse strikes. Miami wins the next 4 games and Mavs have an entire summer to make themselves believe they still are a good team. Next season, they go on to win 67 games (good for sixth best regular season ever) only to be humiliated by the Warriors in the first round. Season after that, they are battling for a playoff spot in an extremely competitive Western Conference, they trade Harris and Diop for Jason Kidd, who fails to give them a win against a winning team in 8 tries. They have a 15-19 road record, where they will be playing 7 of the 12 games they have remaining, 8 of those 12 against winning teams and they suck playing those, remember? And most (perhaps all) of those 12 without Dirk Nowitzki. With a 2 games edge over ninth placed Denver Nuggets. Should’ve never messed with the numbers!

June 2006, Miami Heat beats Dallas Mavericks in six games, winning their first ever NBA title. What happens afterwards is just amazing. Multiple injuries to top players, getting swept in the first round byt a not-that-good Chicago team, and a historically bad season in ‘08. Just like Dallas, Miami wanted success more than anything and were willing to do all it takes to get there. Even sell their sould to the Devil! Do not mess with those numbers!

Note: No way i believe those numbers bring bad luck or anything like that, at first i was going to name this post ‘the curse of the 06 nba finals’ but this might generate more traffic, right?
