The series is only 3 games old and you're acting
like it's already over ? This is obviously your first year watching the nba playoffs.

I still think the Mavs have the best shot at winning the le this year.

In relation to this series their regular season record isn't indicative of anything. Golden State creates problems on the defensive end for the Mavs.

Al Harington pretty much is able to counter with his offense what dirk is able to bring offensively. He drives right by him consistently. When dirk is the only offensive advantage the mavs have against GS then the rest of the load is left for everyone else. They aren't responding. And it's because of what I have been saying all season: They haven't gotten over the psychological inhibition that is: They haven't done .

They don't have a mountain of success that they can rely on to give them that boost of confidence that they are in dire need for. But this isn't only a problem for the unit. almost every individual player on that team has hasn't proven that they are capable of winning: Stack, terry, dampier, George, Diop, Howard have all proven to be losers or haven't played significant roles on championship caliber teams--george comes to mind when I think of the latter.

lol, i love your avatar...hey, i'm rooting for the bulls in the east as well. i understand what you're saying about not being in the playoffs too, i've been a knicks fan a lot longer than i've been a mavs fan, since i was a little kid! enjoy the series, whatever happens.

haha. thanks, i really like it too.

yeah the bulls are really awesome... i really think they got a strong group this year, last year they couldn't beat the heat for crap, but now they got Wallace and they're (imo) top guns in the east. the east is pretty exciting this year, too. really? yeah same with me with the bulls, since i was born in chicago and stuff.

oh, the knicks aren't in the playoffs this year... well maybe next year, you can root for the bulls then ahha but i know it's not the same, but cherish the moments while the mavs are in it cause it sucks not having a team to root for that you really favor.

yeah i'm glad you understand what i mean about not being in the playoffs, but it's cool, i got used to it. i'm done with the whining, i look lame.
