Crystal ball says: Obviously, it all comes down to Dirk Nowitzki's ankle. Let's say this: I'm stunned he was able to come back from a high ankle sprain in less than two weeks and do anything, let alone lead a rout of Golden State. Clearly, he is an absolute freak of nature. This is normally a four-week injury, and often it lingers beyond that point.
By the way, how badly do you think the Mavs were chuckling to themselves last night as they watched Golden State take the floor and behold Nowitzki playing -- after a story leaked out earlier in the day saying he wasn't in the game plan. I have visions of Mark Cuban laughing diabolically throughout the game while stabbing a Don Nelson voodoo doll.

You should also read the rest of the article or at least the Dallas part, it's definitely worthy to check out.
To go back on topic, was Avery really pulling something out of his bag or was it really a game time decision ? Does it even matter and can't we just trick us into the thought that Avery was playing mind games ?
On a side note, it would also be cool if someone else than me would create threads, I don't like the idea of reading my name on the left side every single time
