I Thought Dallas Changed

[RON ARTEST]

didnt every mavs fan say this year would be different? thier whole team said they werent gonna choke like in the past. well it looks like its happening to them again. damn i feel for them because my team is known for choking in the past also but not this bad. so i ask everyone this question, when will dallas change thier choking ways?

[DuncanInYourFace]

Well, if they win Game 7 they can redeem themselves

[Beer is Good]

They havent choked. They were handed games 3 and 4 in the 4th by the whistles and were basically handed game 2 by them as well (although the Spurs wouldnt have won that one most likely anyway). As far as I'm concerned the Mavs havent won a game that wasnt called completely biased for them in crunch time except game 2. The last two games were not officiated great, but they were much more even for both teams... and look who won them both.

there is no way in they are winning in san antonio. if they do which would be more of a heartbreaker? the spurs losing at home after coming back from 1-3? or dallas for choking away a 3-1 lead?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

lol they didnt have terry.......... they will be more fired up for game 7 than game 6......they have won on the road once this series, they can do it again

this game 7 is anyones game

anyway you look at it the mavs are choking and will put the icing on the spurs cake on sunday. i dont know how the mavs fans can take pain like this every year. wait yes i can, im a kings fan.

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here. Spurs need one... more... game.

its anyones game but i just dont see dirk rebounding like he did today and i dont see parker and duncan having bad games like last night either. the mavs had thier best chance in game 5 imo and they choked like a in a porn movie.

I was about to cuss out the original poster for premature ejaculation- then I realized who it was.

they got it trust me. parker will pull his head out of his ass and duncan will be unstoppable. the one game duncan doesnt play well the mavs still lose. there aint no way in 2 out of thier big three will play like last night.

I know they'll get "cheap shot" back and "touch foul" will probably step up for them, but I think the Mavs will be pressing even more than today. Cheap Shot has to feel like the biggest in the world for screwing his team over and I have a feeling he'll try to do too much. Besides those two - Howard is still probably too green (as well as Harris) for that kind of pressure and Stack has a nice history of disappearing in do or die situations. The Mavs have a shot, but they will be fighting a lot of pressure as well as the home crowd for this one - a crowd that will be rabid thanks to Cubans big mouth.

Lets not jinx ourselves...how about we wait for the celebration until after game 7.

[Melmart1]

that was kinda mean.

So is jinxing our team, asshole!

its pretty much a guarentee that the spurs will win imo. the spurs have way too much experience in these types of games. dirk made me laugh out loud when he talked about his mavs having experience in game sevens. where the did those game sevens ever get them?

Amen

I am HIGHLY supers ious during the playoffs! It ain't no joke!

Game 4 is a good example.....both teams were at th fould the same amount of times. Check the stats Stuart Scott.

its not about freethrow attempts. its about when you get them and how you get them. and most of the ones the spurs got called on them at the end of the game was down right laughable. so no game 4 is not a good example. i hate when people use freethrow attempts as a reason for poor officiating because i can throw that whole argument out the ing window just like i did right now. consider yourself OWNED!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

you believe in all that jinxing crap?

I don't because in the end it's silly. Spurs just gotta play the damn game...

but c'mon admit it, as a basketball fan....you never once hesitated to "say" or do or not do something that happened the day your team won or lostl, or whatever during tight situations in the playoffs for your team? ...supers ion gets the best of us at times...

I had to leave the room when there was just 15 seconds left. I couldn't breathe until Manu made those clinching free throws.. Man did he come through today!

[Nero]

Nobody's choking. 5 of 6 games could have gone either way. Why do you guys think it's so strange that we won 2 of those coin flips? Just two evenly matched teams tied up. At least when we play small ball.
