Mavs-Rockets game 4

[Pandaemonaeon]

3rd quarter and they have a big lead, but we will win this one. It is our destiny!

[RobinsontoDuncan]

I hope so, I always have had a soft spot for the Mavericks and would love to see them in the 2nd round, if the spurs and mavs play that would be a good series.

I dont like our chances of beating the Nuggs though.

[spurs_2108]

Why doesn't this stuff go in the NBA section? geez.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

Is your handle Kori Ellis?

Uh... that would be a what is "no" alex

[Clandestino]

fuck the mavs... i want a houston/spurs western conference finals!

[Clandestino]

Is your handle Kori Ellis?

Uh... that would be a what is "no" alex

lol

[Pandaemonaeon]

Spurs and Mavs would be a top ratings-getter and make millions for Stern!

[Clandestino]

i just hate the mavs...

dikembe is playing great d today...

[T Park]

Mavs and Spurs I doubt would.

Suns Spurs would.

Rockets Spurs would.

[Kori Ellis]

Why doesn't this stuff go in the NBA section? geez.

Because it's the playoffs and what other teams do effects the Spurs in later rounds.

[Manu20]

Dallas up by 1 with 1:36 left in the game.

[Pandaemonaeon]

Yup, and Mavs are family. Right?

[Clandestino]

yao just screwed up 3 straight possessions...

[Manu20]

What a big three by Terry.
90 to 94 dallas up with 27 seconds left.

[slayermin]

My god. Dallas is about to tie the series up.

[Kori Ellis]

The longer these other series stretch out, the better it is for the Spurs.

~GO MAVS GO~

[jalbre6]

That was a big fucking three!

[jalbre6]

Wesley, you stud.

[Manu20]

Wesley with a big three!!

[slayermin]

Maybe I spoke to soon. We are talking about the Mavs.

[jalbre6]

Doesn't Wesley still live in SA during the offseason?

[jalbre6]

Stack at the line, 12.8 left.

[Pandaemonaeon]

Up by 1, I expect a foul, make 2, and then McGrady for the tie again.

[jalbre6]

WTF?!?! Great play by Finley!

[jalbre6]

6.1 left, Dirk going to the line up 3.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

tracy choke job!

[jalbre6]

Game Over!

Great 4th Q comeback by the Mavs

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Mavs win!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I TOLD yall mcgrady's cockiness is a weakness....he's so cocky he didn't even see Josh Howard right next to him lol

[Kori Ellis]

That was sweet! The Mavs are going to be riding high back to Dallas. Taking two on the road when you are down 0-2 is HUGE!

[Leetonidas]

That T-Mac turnover lost the game.

[jalbre6]

Oops, thought that was Finley. Terry had a monster game.

[jalbre6]

How wild is that? Four road team wins in this series...

[Pandaemonaeon]

I told you! I told you! 3-0 on my predictions. I've been to the future, man. Dallas and Spurs, I tell's ya!

[Manu20]

How crazy that neither team has won on there homecourt.
BTW that was a really entertaining game.

Survive.

[vincerodriguez23]

mavs win a close one 97-93

[slayermin]

How wild is that? Four road team wins in this series...

Unfortunately, we've seen it before.

The last two games were some "clutch" meltdowns.

[Dre_7]

Mavs have home court, so Houston will win the series.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

I think McGrady's man to man defense on Dirk is going to decide the series in Houston's favor, I never knew he could be that effective, I think you will see Jeff Van Gundy making the adjustment that saves them

[pooh0406]

cool!!! 2-2.. i hope the mavs win this round...

[ShoogarBear]

Great series.

So which of these teams has a better shot at beating the Suns?

I can't decide.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I would say Houston cuz they have more big bodies?

i dunno thats a tough one

[xcoriate]

The funny thing is both teams have great road records, its almost a disadvantage to have HCA

Jason Terry has been very good this series, guy is hitting some big shots and generally doing a great job.

Dallas still needs to get Dirk going however. He usally steps it up come playoffs but this year... well.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

He usually has the best point guard in the league at his side come playoffs

[jalbre6]

I'll go with Dallas. They have more guys that can run the court. Houston is where they are right now becuase T-Mac and Yao have been big in every game so far. If one (and especially if the one is McGrady) is having a crappy game, I don't think they can hang.

I don't think any other Rockets were in double figures in this game.

[Pandaemonaeon]

Houston can beat Phoenix, definitely. Dallas, I've never seen them fight Phoenix with a complete and healthy roster but I've seen all three Suns playoff games and they are horrible except when they have to preserve a lead during crunch time.

[T Park]

either one will beat houston imo. cause one plays great D, and the other plays mediocre d.

I hope the Spurs can get by the Mavericks, cause after that it will be the easiest road to the finals in the team's history.

The Spurs would beat the Sonics and Rockets Mavs or SUns in 5 easily.

[whottt]

Shoogar...I think Rockets matchup really well with the Suns...the Suns are much quicker but the Rockets have a huge size advantage at every position...

I think the Rockets can score on the Suns much more easily than the Suns can score on the Rockets. And we already know who the better defensive team is.

true true

But you forgot to mention the force of nature known as Clarence Weatherspoon.

[CosmicCowboy]

props to Dallas...they nutted up bigtime...

[Duff McCartney]

Houston sucks the big one!

Yeah, I agree with that. The only thing I qustion is whether, if the Suns control the pace, it will lead to one of those stretches where Yao disappears for games on end.

I have to think Dikembe not be of much worth against Phoenix.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

oh yeah!

i forgot about yao ming's lack of ability to run for extended periods of time

[Amuseddaysleeper]

yao is so useless and overrated and soft its not even funny

[Pandaemonaeon]

Who's got better conditioning Batista or Yao?
