3 takes from another Mavericks playoff loss

  1.  Things changed when Josh went down. When Josh Howard rolled his ankle by steping on Peja Stojakovic’s foot, the fortune of the Mavericks immediately changed.  I was surprised that the announcers on the national broadcast didn’t make a bigger deal out of it. Not from an excuse standpoint,...
