SPORTS SHORTS TAKE 11....the NBA and NFL Edition....MAVS getting hammered...the WILD NFL WEEK 17 Scenarios...n more

The BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK SPORTS SHORTS Take 11 has plenty to offer and lets get to it.........

The Defending WORLD CHAMPION Dallas MAVERICKS get their BLING and their BANNERS and get SMACKED by the HEAT as expected. What the MAVS FANS didn't expect was the SHELLACKING they took from the NUGGETS tonight in BIG D and let me explain.

One...the MAVERICKS get rid of 3 Great TEAMMATES on the FLOOR and in the LOCKER ROOM.....in JJ BEREA, Caron BUTLER, and Tyson CHANDLER. They lose RUDY FERNANDEZ to the NUGGETS and they have almost conceded to the FACT that they will be using their CAP SPACE for next season and DERON WILLIAMS.

Two....the PARTIES after they get their RINGS and their BANNER goes up goes into the WEEEE HOURS of the NIGHT and the NBA schedules the MAVS on a BACK TO BACK...C'MON COMMISH...let the MAVS soak in that remarkable RUN for at least 2 DAYS after their CEREMONY. Next up for the MAVS....the THUNDER....and they will be 0-3 after that.

The CHICAGO BEARS continued their slide SOUTH of .500 as they take it on the CHIN in LAMBEAU. To say the BEARS would lose a few of those GAMES is right on but to go 0- and a possible 6 isn't right.

QB Jay CUTLER means a lot to that OFFENSE as does RB Matt FORTE but all the BEARS had to do was go .500 vs the BRONCOS, CHARGERS, CHIEFS, SEAHAWKS, PACKERS, and RAIDERS..and couldn't do it......DISAPPOINTING to say the LEAST.

The AFC NORTH is still up for grabs as the RAVENS who own the TIEBREAKER vs the STEELERS have to travel to the JUNGLE in CINCY to take on the BENGALS. The RAVENS win they get the #2 SEED Overall in the AFC. They lose and the STEELERS win the RAVENS fall to the #5 Seed, the BENGALS get a WILD CARD, and the STEELERS get the #2 SEED OVERALL. The RAVENS are officially on the CLOCK and they have not been playing that well of late. The STEELERS travel to CLEVELAND for their FINAL GAME.

The COWBOYS blew an 11 POINT LEAD a few weeks ago at HOME vs the GIANTS would they could have knocked them out of the PLAYOFFS. NOW LOOK what is on TAP for SUNDAY......the COWBOYS at the GIANTS and MET LIFE BLUE for the NFC EAST and the NFC WILD CARD SPOT. The BOYS no better and they can only blame themselves.


The DETROIT LIONS are 10-5 and they clinch a PLAYOFF BERTH this past SUNDAY with a WIN over the BOLTS. The LIONS will be a WILD CARD Team that NO ONE wants to play against with all that TALENT, TEAM Speed, and youth-ism........DAMN BLUEDUDE is that a WORD?.....It is now.

The NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS almost took a surprising loss to the DOLPHINS but cam away with a last minute 27-24 WIN over the AQUA BOYZ of 305. The BIG PICTURE is this....PATRIOTS FIX that D or it will be a LONG OFF-SEASON after this 1 PLAYOFF GAME and an L.

Can the BRONCOS QB and SUPERman Tim TEBOW WILL his team to a VICTORY on SUNDAY and a PLAYOFF BERTH.....this is the TIME you really make your name.....WEEK 17 PLAYOFF FOOTBALL is coming your way on SUNDAY.
