Josh!

Last night, Josh Howard accumulated 21 points in the first three quarters against the Heat. He failed to score in the 4th quarter and the Mavericks failed to win the game despite being up by thirteen points at one point in the last period. So, let me recap: a) Josh Howard scored 21 points and b) the Mavericks lost the game.

Wait one minute! The Mavericks were undefeated this year when Howard scored at least 20 points. They won 100% of the games when he reached the 20-point mark. So, what does this all mean? Not much, just like it didn't really mean anything that they hadn't lost this year when Howard scored at least 20 points. Now, the Mavericks are undefeated in games Howard scores at least 22 points! As my brother is always telling me, the hardest events to predict are the ones that haven't happened yet. Dallas was bound to lose a game when Howard scored at least 20, it just happened to be game 3 of the NBA Finals.
