Mavs Blow.
I'm so proud of my boys. This was a consummate TEAM effort. I have no complaints with how anyone played this game for the Mavs. Barea slice/dice, Damp on boards, Dirk/J-Ho/Terry making shots, Bass/Wright with bench contributions. Kidd with a play here and there, maybe some more scoring from him would be nice.. Our guys picked up their defense, hit their shots, and beat a team they were supposed to beat.
And the mental toughness the guys showed!? Early game, down 13, shots not falling. Dirk in foul trouble. 4 point game at halftime.
3rd quarter, Mavs up 9, Spurs eat it up quickly. Spurs start 4th Q with a 3, Mavs did not wither. ALl those bull 3's and bull Duncan shots the Spurs were making, the Mavs never panicked. I'm so proud of the guys
Can we even say the Spurs had an off game? Parker missed a few gimmes, but they were blazing from behind the arc and Duncan looked very great.
Ive often said, when our bench was criticized, whether it was the undersized nature of Barea/Bass and the rest of the scraps, the beloved Mavs bench is not THAT bad. The problem was the core. But the core is much better when Howard is playing like this.
I have nothing left to say, I am filled with euphoria right now, but there's still plenty of series to be played. I would say at this moment in time though the Mavs have the upper hand.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
Mavs Blow.
Bravo, Mavs. Solid game all around. My opinion of them has really changed in these last few days.
I thought mavs played well tonight even though I hate them with a passion. Of course it is only the first round so they might want to just lose so they don't have to face Lakers in the West or a small chance they make it to the finals creamed by the CAVS
Nice avatar. Devin was incredible today![]()
Diop was the key, you see how he made Duncan work for all his points
of course Devin was incredible![]()
Mavs-Lakers in the WCF.. book it
mavs-lakers? and what team then go's on the play Cavs and looks like the Nets and get blown out in 4 games? do they mavs, at least the lakers might have a chance
You're the same who annoyed the outta the d-m board aren't ya.
you guys act like you won the championship
![]()
how'd you know, I came back to say hi to you![]()
And your fanbase is acting like they lost it. We all know it's one game.
And you guys act the world has ended.
for mavs to win in the playoffs it's almost is like them winning a championship, no just kidding![]()
Are you just making some posts?
you won because popovich makes incredibly stupid decisions.
in all likelyhood pop wont change anything.
so you guys should continue to win![]()
I really didn't watch this game throughly. Just bits n pieces.
Anyone hear Avery Johnson butcher J.J. Barea's last name on ESPNEWS? He kept on calling him Barera. You would think Avery would know how to pronounce the guy's name considering he coached him.
I am very shocked and surprised by the outcome of game 1. I'm glad that the Mavs got game 1 but it doesn't mean anything really. Mavs can't let up at all in this series. If they want to win it, they have to play the way they did in game 1. I'm also glad that the choking on the road in the playoffs is over now. The Mavs finally broke the streak.
It wasn't a serious question. Fluke win, making some posts, ring a bell? Where is SD anyway? He's gone AWOL.
agreed, Mavs-Cavs in Finals then.
Mavs played solid tonight. They deserved to win. But it's not like the Spurs are in uncharted territory with Game 1 losses.
Every series is going to be nip/tuck except the Lakers/Jazz series.
I might have to troll there more often
I hate the boys in blue. I hate your beloved mavs.
If the Mavs play like the did against the Spurs against everyone else, they'd be going for their 8th-peat.
