**Mavs-Warriors Game 6 Blaaaaaahg**

[Shank]

How was this overlooked?

I think the Mavs have figured out some keys to beating the Warriors here in the past 2 games. Particularly early in Game 5, we saw the Mavs (and Dirk) making a conscious effort to attack the basket and Biedrins underneath. They went away from this in the second half and got sucked into the Warriors game which had a big hand in giving up that 21-point lead.

In the last few minutes Tuesday night the Mavs did all they could to put defensive pressure on Davis, working to double-team him. They saw (even before he fouled out) that the Warriors are nowhere near as effective when Davis is being pressured or if the offense has to run through anyone else. I'd hope to see this to close out some of the early quarters.

Warriors working with a very short bench tonight. Ellis won't see much and Barnes has a hamstring injury. He'll play, but could tighten up at any time. Will six men playing that sort of game last 48 minutes?

Without going into much detail as to why, I don't see the Warriors making that many 3s. Mavs will make the adjustments to keep their man close to not allow so many open looks. If the Warriors can see the orange of the rim, they'll likely jack it up.

What's worse - giving up that 21 point lead but still getting the win or coughing up a 9-point lead and the chance to win the series? I say the latter. And we've always got the penchant of Jackson/Davis going batshit crazy when under the pressure once again.

Mavs get this tonight and we come back to the D for Saturday's game.

Throw everything out from the past. This game will be a war and the Mavs better bring their "A" game or they will be done for the year.

oh, it's over, i was perusing the warriors forums and they're already reminiscing about the time they beat the spurs and when the warriors were, to quote, "outplaying the admiral"

Golden State > Denver and LAL. Funny how Dallas caught the hottest team coming into the playoffs. In any event, one game at a time. Let's get this back to Dallas.

The SuperHoff guarantees a Mavs win.

[LEONARD]

...because they started a game 7 blog :lol

I don't even know what to think about tonight, but I too liked them getting the ball out of Davis' hands on double teams. They CAN'T keep hitting 3's like they have been, can they?? :bang

[mFFL03]

hmmm...we were up by 21.....they essentially made 16 3's.....hmmmm........

which number is greater....

21 or 48

[Findog]

They CAN'T keep hitting 3's like they have been, can they?? :bang

I don't mind the Warriors getting lots of looks inside, I would play Damp/Diop 48 minutes and concentrate on defending the 3-point line.

FWIW, their 3-point shooting in this series:

G1: 10-30
G2: 4-20
G3: 6-23
G4: 12-31
G5: 16-35

[Findog]

hmmm...we were up by 21.....they essentially made 16 3's.....hmmmm........

which number is greater....

21 or 48

Mavs just need to put it together for 48 minutes, which they haven't done in this series. I'm encouraged that we got the 21 point lead, which says to me we can run these guys off the court when we play well.

Not going to be easy, but we're a 1/3 of the way from climbing out of this hole. And I would imagine 12 hours to gametime they would've announced something about Richardson by now. I hope he plays, you want to beat a team at full-strength and it's going to suck navigating 86 "you would've lost if J-Rich had played" threads after tonite's game.

[Findog]

Also, it's a good thing I'm stocked up on xanax for this game.

Wow, that's only 35%, which is their season avg I believe. I thought I had heard they were shooting higher than that. Why does it feel like every 3 is going in? Or is it just me? :lol

[Shank]

We like this Game 6 blog better because I started it and it already has cooler pictures than the other one.

[joeyjfive]

Geez, these games are getting so big they need 2 game blogs.FYI I didnt see the other one til now either.

Game 5 was the only game that it seemed like all their 3 pointers were going in. They shot around 46% that night.

This blog is the better blog.

hellllllllllll noooooooooooooooooo


actually we can have 2 blogs, one for mav fans and the other for warriors supporters
:lol

[Shank]

Sounds good.

Mine still has pictures of The Hoff, though. So that's a plus.

[monosylab1k]

i hate to be a killjoy, but the Mavs season ends tonight. Unless Dirk's got two more miracles to pull out of his ass, this team just hasn't played well enough for me to have any faith in them.

[ZONACAT]

I agree that we haven't played well at all in this series, however, we only need to put one game together to turn this series on it's head.

Maybe I'm wrong but I believe this team is too good and gone through too many wars not to put faith in them. I'm still hopeful that the last three minutes of Game Five has awoken the Dirk that we saw against the Spurs and Suns last season.

Hopefully the threes won't fall for them tonight.

[Findog]

Not much reason to be optimistic, and I've wavered back and forth myself on this, but it's not over until they lose four games. If they can put together 48 minutes, they can beat the Warriors tonight.

[hater]

less than 12 hours left in Mavs Season.


FUCK THE MAVS!!!

the mavs will win tonight

I don't think the warriors know how to close out a series, and the crowd won't be enough

it's not over until it's over...and if it happens to be tonight, and i don't think it will, well, there's AC Milan and the Champions League for me, followed by some Wimbledon and French Open, followed by some Vegas basketball qualifiers for the Olympics (which i'll be at in person), followed by the U.S. Open (be at in person), followed by about two months of football....then it's NBA season 07-08...i think i'll live

thanks for the kind words guys

while I do bitch a lot in the Spurs section (I'm pretty pessimistic about my team sadly), in the NBA section, some smack talk may be fun, but really I just wanna talk hoops, and I'm always curious to hear basketball takes from the other side of the fence :toast

Why do you constantly feel the need to make everyone aware of your activities? "I got playoff tix", "I sat in the lower level", "I went to Bavaria", "I'm going to qualifiers for the Olympics", "I took the LSAT", etc....WGAF??

For someone that isn't from Dallas you sure do have the arrogance down...that or you're just insecure and want to compensate by updating us on the itinerary of your life.

[Findog]

WGAF??

You do apparently, otherwise you would scroll past without commenting.

yup, i would be happy to see finley get a ring as long as it's not at the expense of the mavs and in this case, if the mavs were to get bumped in the first round, at least the spurs didn't bump us. anyway, i was thinking hard about the scenarios if the mavs get bumped tonight or saturday and i will probably root for the bulls (pipe dream, lol) or pistons but i'd much rather the spurs get out of the suns/spurs series quickly because i appreciate their type of balanced game a bit more than the running suns...i saw enough of that when nellie coached the mavs.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i would love to see the Bulls come out of the east. Scott Skiles is running a sturdy ship over there

[Findog]

If the Mavs lose tonite or Saturday, then my order of preference is Spurs (Finley), Suns (Nash), then the Bulls.

Dear God I hope you are right. I'll be popping the xanax starting at about 8:00 pm.

If we could somehow pull this off and come back to win the series, would this tire us out, or would it be more a case of putting hair on your balls to knock off a team playing that well?

Good luck Mavs fans. It sucks for you guys to have a season like that and be in this situation already. Ya'll survived one game already, so who's to say it can't happen again? Game 3 was ridiculous and that won't happen again, as GS would've beaten any team in history (IMO) playing like that. You guys had a good chance in game 4, but Dirk needed to step up earlier, Stackhouse had a hell of a game, and you guys know the rest. Either way, this is one hell of a series.

I'm not giving any good luck to the Mavs themselves, but to the good Mavfans out there. :downspin:

Thanks for the advice. Any idea on how to get grass stains out of my jeans?

[Flopper]

Warriors will win

[Findog]

Thanks for the advice. Any idea on how to get grass stains out of my jeans?

I have just the advice for that, and I think this is something you can and should pull off:

Get a LOT of explosives. The more the better.

Hook up a detonator to an altimeter. Set it for 100-200 feet. That will give you good dispersion.

Mix vaseline and gasoline in a bucket.

Find a really tall building. Something like the World Trade Center (not anymore, but you get the idea) is perfect and is in a sufficiently crowded area to generate the proper sized crowd.

Get an extra large trench coat, ski mask, duct tape and a lighter.

Bring your materials to the top of your building. Liberally apply the vaseline-gasoline mixture to your entire body. Duct tape the explosives around your legs, arms, head and torso. The more explosives you use, the better. Attach the altimeter to the explosives.

Put on the trench coat and mask so that the explosives are not visible.
Start ranting and throwing things so that you are sure to attract notice. Drag this part out as long as possible. Say anything that comes to mind but try to stay away from real problems. Your love life DOES NOT make for a good sound bite. Ask for news cameras from the major networks. Pace around a lot while waving your arms.

DO NOT let on that you have explosives on your body. The police will clear the area and you definitely don't want that.

When you've gotten the crowd to a fevered pitch, when the helicopters are hovering like vultures, whip off the jacket and set yourself on fire.

Wait until you are completely engulfed in flame then jump.

Try to steer yourself towards the crowd. That way flaming falling body parts will pelt the fleeing onlookers when you explode.

Congratulations! You've just made history.

Sorry to ruin the fun for Dallas, but the only way Dallas nearly won Game 4 was by Dirk's wild three's at the end of the game.

That is the same way they DID win Game 5: Dirk's wild three's to lead them back from a 9-point deficit.

If Dirk knocks down some wild three's at the end of the game again, then Dallas might escape with the upset win.

Otherwise, GS has dominated the series pace-wise and energy-wise, and I would fully expect them to advance tonight and prepare for Round 2 vs Houston or Utah.

Warriors blew their chances and gave the Mavs life. This series is going to the Mavs.

Realizing that I'm sort of straying from the spirit of the proceedings, I'll confine my thoughts to basketball and agree with Budkin.

The Warriors let the Mavs off the mat at the end of Game 5 -- at a time when they should have been cutting the Mavs' hearts out. Teams like the Warriors don't often get more than one chance to carry a lead late in a put-away game. I'm skeptical that they'll have that chance again in this series.

[duncan228]

I've tried to stay out of the Mavs/Spurs smack. I simply want the Spurs to win the Title, regardless of who they go through to do it.

That being said, I find myself rooting for the Warriors. Just to emphasize how the regular season is really a tune up. It matters, but what matters more is how you're playing now. And how your big dogs come through or not.

I agree with FromWayDowntown, I think the Warriors let their chance slip by. I hope being home tonight can make a difference.
If they don't win tonight I think the Mavs will take it.

And the Spurs will be ready for them.

Burger King let you go home early today?

[J.T.]

I will be at a concert during the game, and immediately following that going to catch the 12:00 showing for Spidey 3. I'll check the box score after the concert on my phone. The Mavs will win this game narrowly, and then blow em out in Game 7 back at home.

[Mavs<Spurs]

I expect an interesting game.

I really don't know who will win.

I can make arguments for both sides.

Mavs because they actually are the better team and have Dirk and Josh Howard. Had Dallas blown out the Warriors in the last game, I would now be convinced that they were going to win game 6 and take the series.

Warriors because (1) they are at home which will give them some of what they need to actually pull off this huge upset (2) Warriors have dominated the Mavs lately and (3) it's all about the match ups.


If it's not a close game, either team could blow out the other team.

If it is a close game, either team could pull it out.

On the personal stuff, I must side with Ponky.
I actually admire that he does that stuff. I think it's pretty cool!

Obviously, I hope the Warriors win.

[bulletedge]

I want the Mavs to win BUT playing at GS with the crowd going nuts and the refs giving them plenty of home cookin'...I doubt that they will win.

They CAN win but only with incredible performances by ALL of their players- including the bench...coupled with a subpar shooting game by GS.

If the Mavs dig an early hole I don't see any comeback victories tonight. On the other hand, they might actually start to grow some balls and kick some ass....NAW, won't happen.

I want the Mavs to win BUT playing at GS with the crowd going nuts and the refs giving them plenty of home cookin'...I doubt that they will win.

They CAN win but only with incredible performances by ALL of their players- including the bench...coupled with a subpar shooting game by GS.

If the Mavs dig an early hole I don't see any comeback victories tonight. On the other hand, they might actually start to grow some balls and kick some ass....NAW, won't happen.


You never know.

I could see a comeback and a choke by a pretty young Warriors team.

Baron Davis and Jason Richardson and Stephen Jackson would have to prevent the team from choking.

We all remember what happened to LeBron last year after being up on the Pistons and having a chance to close the Pistons out. Of course, we also remember the next series too.

[td4mvp21]

This game should be very very good. I expect it to go down to the wire. I think the Mavs will come out strong, the Warriors fight back, then it goes back and forth until the end. And I don't know who will win.

[Shank]

I'll expect a Spiderman review later.

[mabber]

Tim doesn't get around to this side of the forums often.

BLOG.

Apparently not, as there have been a lot more Mav fans on here lately...compared to 3-4 weeks ago.

[monosylab1k]

I'll expect a Spiderman review later.

where are the Mav fans? :D

[Deb]

I've tried to stay out of the Mavs/Spurs smack. I simply want the Spurs to win the Title, regardless of who they go through to do it.

That being said, I find myself rooting for the Warriors. Just to emphasize how the regular season is really a tune up. It matters, but what matters more is how you're playing now. And how your big dogs come through or not.

I agree with FromWayDowntown, I think the Warriors let their chance slip by. I hope being home tonight can make a difference.
If they don't win tonight I think the Mavs will take it.

And the Spurs will be ready for them.
If GSW wins tonight, wouldnt' that wrap up the series and they would be the winner?

[jaespur21]

umm im lookin for the rocket jazz game blog.my bad

[hanto03]

Yea, go for it Dirk. Be the same old loser you've always been. Going fishin is what you are in the playoffs for. Oops, no one told you that wasn't the ultimate goal. :elephant

[milkyway21]

thats an interesting idea OMG.........how funny hehehe

you know I'm really thinking about it.

Duncan's 2 MVP moments were so precious and so must be Dirks, if he wins... but what if ? :lmao

tsk! tsk! too bad. Go Warriors!

[conversekid]

Not at all.

Liar. All MAV fans are nervous. My buddy is a mavs fan and he is shaking, cuz he doesn't know what to know what to expect.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Shut up Chuck we all would switch places with your fat ass!

[kingsfan]

[DDS4]

Man, I've never been so excited for a non-Spur game.

I just want a close game, back and forth. Go Warriors!

[cheguevara]

WOW, this game is gonna be the most crucial game of round 1 at LEAST. my, my. I am excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Deb]

Not at all.
I just don't know why I'm shaking all over and I've shit my pants, but I'm not nervous. No siree - not I :spin

[cheguevara]

mavfans from bottom of my heart. good luck.

[kingsfan]

GS have to win this one, if it goes 7 they're fucked.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Man, I've never been so excited for a non-Spur game.

I just want a close game, back and forth. Go Warriors!

Screw that I would be happy as hell with a warriors blow out. I want The Pistons game on late on Saturday I have to work until 4pm.

[cheguevara]

awesome environment.

[NASpurs]

Sea of yellow or gold or whatever their color is.

Looks awesome.

[conversekid]

I love how the fans are ALL wearing the same YELLOW shirts... i WISH the spurs fans would do something like that.

[nkdlunch]

GAME TIME!!! who's drunk already?

[NBA Junkie]

Albert and Kerr calling the game- YES!

[lrrr]

The W's need both Davis and Jackson on the floor to close the series (heck to close a friekin' game!). If both those guys are there at the end, they can close it.

[milkyway21]

:clap Awesome LET'S GO WARRIORS!!!

it looks like the Mavericks team against the whole whole WORLD :wakeup

[Vinnie_Johnson]

I love how the fans are ALL wearing the same YELLOW shirts... i WISH the spurs fans would do something like that.

All you need to do is miss the playoffs for 14 years they will look just like those fans.

[kingsfan]

There are the thuggish fans :lol

[NASpurs]

Game over.

[lefty]

FUCK ! Javie and Garretson :pctoss

[G-Money]

Tonight the mavs season dies.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

It's over!

[Marklar MM]

Nice pass from Barnes to JRich

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Dirk looks tight.

[Marklar MM]

Biedrins just hit both free throws...the world is going to end.

[resistanze]

Dirk looks tight.

Tight like a.... :lol

[CubanMustGo]

GS needs to quit missing layups and tips already

[NASpurs]

The pain begins...

[conversekid]

dayum... GS came to play

[ATXSPUR]

keep it up GS!!!!!

[Marklar MM]

Dallas needs to wake up purdy soon, or they will be the ones down 20

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Nice to see Dallas come out and quite the crowd down like that.

[conversekid]

ya... but this is the same way the mavs came out in game 5 and GS came back on them...

[G-Money]

GS is going for the kill, Dallas played their last game in dallas last tuseday. Say bye Dirk, its all over. Kiss your MVP good bye too! Go Warriors.

[kingsfan]

This is going to be fun, I feel it :hungry:
That crowd is awesome. If GS can't feed off that then they don't deserve to win.

[nkdlunch]

The pain begins...

LMAO

[FromWayDowntown]

FUCK ! Javie and Garretson :pctoss

Yeah -- this crew would normally be a good crew for a visiting team. Javie seems to thrive sometimes on pissing off a home crowd. Garretson has the same propensity.

Wunderlich, though, is an odd choice for a game like this one. Some Spurs fans with long memories might remember a WCSF game at LA in 2003 (Game 3) where Jack Nicholson got out of his seat and yelled at an official, who immediately made 2 or 3 just horrendously bad calls -- that guy was Mark Wunderlich.

[G-Money]

The crowd will get in Dirt's I mean Dirks head and they will lose, beat the mavs!

[milkyway21]

The W's need both Davis and Jackson on the floor to close the series (heck to close a friekin' game!). If both those guys are there at the end, they can close it.according to my crystal ball Stephen Jackson will lose his temper again and will be ejected in the 4th Q, then in the last 5 minutes of the game Davis will commit his 6th foul and have no choice but to sit on the bench and watch Dallas winning the game. :donkey

[nkdlunch]

I agree. If GS don't win this. they don't deserve to advance. If Dallas takes it away from them, I will be scared.

[ducks]

smart time out by aj

[NASpurs]

Thrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[conversekid]

oh snap... the 3s are already flying

[G-Money]

jackson for 3!!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Man what a start.

[nkdlunch]

hey mavfans, BTW, Bdiddy is a veteran and got a LOT of experience. Jackson is a champion, he knows what it takes. :D

[nkdlunch]

oh my.......

[conversekid]

richardson!

[Cry Havoc]

Wow.

[NASpurs]

12-3 bitches!

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Dallas can't shoot with their hands up around their necks like that.

[FromWayDowntown]

Great start by GST. Can they maintain it?

[ATXSPUR]

damn gs means business

[kingsfan]

RICHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :elephant

[ThomasGranger]

DAAAAAAAAYUMMMMMMMMM! Dallas is in trouble!

[ShoogarBear]

Jason Terry preventing the shutout so far.

[conversekid]

get that crap out of here!

[ducks]

Great start by GST. Can they maintain it?
why not

[lefty]

CALM DOWN! it's not over yet

Rejection !!! :elephant

[Cry Havoc]

GET that SHIT OUTTA HERE!!!!

[Nikos]

Sjax avatars?

[FromWayDowntown]

The Warriors are flying right now.

Big 3 by Stackhouse.

[nkdlunch]

what happened to all the mavfans?

[FromWayDowntown]

And a huge hit by Jax.

[resistanze]

Raining 3s already.

[conversekid]

jax is cold blooded killer

[Cry Havoc]

YES! Get Stack going early. He'll sink the Mavs.

THREEEEEEEE for buckets!

[ShoogarBear]

<-----------------------

[ThomasGranger]

OH SHIT!!!!!!!!! Another 3!!!!!!!!

[G-Money]

Dirt is choking already!!!!!!

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Sjax avatars?

No fuck that Get your Baron Pendergrass on :toast

[ducks]

terry 2 fouls

[CubanMustGo]

2 PF on nutpuncher, I mean JET

[FromWayDowntown]

Hustle, hustle, hustle

[milkyway21]

unbelievable :ihit

[Cry Havoc]

Stack is awful.

[FromWayDowntown]

Stack big again

[Cry Havoc]

Dallas can't stop Bierdins?

[nkdlunch]

good job mavs. not letting it get away

[ShoogarBear]

GS doing a shitty job at closing out on 3s.

[FromWayDowntown]

Dallas doing a great job of playing through the Warriors opening punch. Keeping it close enough.

[thispego]

anybody in austin have their cable go out????

[NASpurs]

SJax avatar up!

[G-Money]

damn back to back 3s for dallas. :(

[conversekid]

baron limpin

[ShoogarBear]

GS doing a shitty job at closing out on 3s.

[FromWayDowntown]

Biedrens is getting it done at the rim right now.

Stack has just been nails.

[nkdlunch]

how stupid can GS be?????

guard STACK!!!!

[kingsfan]

Fuck you stack. :madrun

[Leetonidas]

All of Dallas' points are from 3. Not good. They're going to lose if they only shoot threes.

[G-Money]

damn it stackhouse, Miss your fucking shots, your team doesnt deserve to win this game and your fans know that.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Quick get those dumb SJax avatars down.

[conversekid]

if davis is hurt, this games over

[milkyway21]

hey i know Dallas is really a good team but if I'm a Mav fan I'd be watching this game lying in my bed with the bed covers over my head and only my eyes peeping the scores:lmao

scary.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Uhhh oh Davis was limpin

[Amuseddaysleeper]

oh lord


as horrific as Dallas has been playing they are only down 4

doens't bode well for GS

[ducks]

stack on fire

[nkdlunch]

stack has been carrying mavs all series

[lefty]

It's JINX time !

It's over
Warriors are done
Go Mavs!

[ATXSPUR]

I think they should let dallas shoot jumpers. those wont go in all night. dont let them drive though.

[G-Money]

fucking mavs have to cheat so they hurt davis.

[NASpurs]

Quick get those dumb SJax avatars down.
Believe.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

dallas may live and di eby the 3 but if those 3's are gonna be ridicuously wide open, they aren't gonna miss too many

[thispego]

anybody in austin have their cable go out????

[nkdlunch]

what's wrong w/baron??

[nkdlunch]

oh damn. Baron out. game over.

[ducks]

what's wrong w/baron??
did cuban by him to come up limping in middle of game

[NASpurs]

Ah shit, Davis went back into the locker room.

[ShoogarBear]

And George Steinbrenner fires the Warriors' trainer.

[Admidave50]

oh damn. Baron out. game over.

wtf, are u sure?

Is someone watching it through sopcast?

[ShoogarBear]

It would be nice for Monte to show up.

[kingsfan]

mavs trying to beat them at their own game, I don't think they can do it.

[ATXSPUR]

series is over. davis is hurt. fucking dallas lucks out again.

[CubanMustGo]

Amazing how often the Mavs have the other team's key player out for whatever reason. Shit.

[G-Money]

Why the fuck do they always call fouls for dirk? this guy is a scrub, has no business in the nba.

[Cry Havoc]

Davis went to the locker room. He'll probably be back.

[easjer]

He walked out without assistance and without a limp. They'll check it out, stretch him out and he'll be back.

SJax and co need to step it up though and make it happen while he's out or it's not going to work. Crowd needs to keep up the goodwill.

[ShoogarBear]

oh lord


as horrific as Dallas has been playing they are only down 4

doens't bode well for GSYep, this is starting to play out like a typical "experienced team wins" scenario.

[kingsfan]

Amazing how often the Mavs have the other team's key player out for whatever reason. Shit.Tell me about it :depressed

[Admidave50]

How did Baron get injured?

[sabar]

Wow _allas always lucks out.

[bdictjames]

Baron will be back.

[G-Money]

why is it dallas's ball? God I hate stern he wants the mavs to win...news flash Dallas sucks!

[jackiel1219]

can GS get a fucking rebound?

[bdictjames]

How did Baron get injured?
He didn't - its all a conspiracy involving Cuban and the NBA officials.

[NASpurs]

Geez, someone put a body on their player and rebound!

[easjer]

It might help if GS picked up a rebound. Those third, fourth and fifth chance points'll kill ya.
