NBA Podcast: How Good Will the Dallas Mavericks Be in 2013-14?

It figures to be relatively silent in Rangers land for a few weeks with the World Series going on and the winter hot stove still in the preheating stage.

My sports attention is starting to turn to basketball. As a native of Plano, I've been a longtime Dallas Mavericks fan. In 2011, I drove from Lawrence to Dallas the weekend the Mavs won the NBA title. Best weekend road trip ever.

The 2013-14 NBA season is about a week away. So how good will the Mavs be this year? For that answer, I turned to my good friend Sam, who's as well-versed as anyone I know when it comes to Mavs hoops. Check out the podcast below:

PODCAST: What do the Rangers Need to Address This Offseason?

Watching some of these American League and National League championship games naturally sends me into reflection mode, as a longtime fan of the Texas Rangers.

For instance: Bengie Molina's homer against the Yankees in Game 4 of the ALCS in 2010; Cliff Lee dominating the Rays and capturing the franchise's first-ever playoff series victory in 2010; Neftali Feliz striking out A-Rod to capture the team's first-ever World Series berth in 2010; beating the Tigers to advance to the club's second straight World Series in 2011.

When you're a baseball fan, the fall season naturally feels different when your team is part of the postseason chase.
