Tonight's Mavs-Spurs game is going to suck

Expect an ugly game where neither team can establish a rhythm because there's constant stoppages in play so each team can shoot 40 free throws, along with about 3-4 technicals on each team and both Popovich and Carlisle having to be restrained by their assistants at various points from charging the court to scream at the refs.

Oh, my a papa, him a go to a America, help a build MGM motel in a Las Vegas, New a Jersey. Him a choose that a green color like a Mavs a color in a old days, like a Roy where his a tarp uniforma.

This may favor us. We're an excellent FT shooting team and ol' Bennett is a ref that tends to favor the home team. I just hope he doesn't ref a game in San Antonio later on in this series.

Popovich and Carlisle restrained by assistants, sounds like it would be a great game to me

mavsfans hoping for blatantly partial/illegitimate advantages against the spurs.

Imagine the following crew for a probable seventh game: Bennett Salvatore, Bavetta and Joey Crawford. The game would be over after the 3rd quarter, because both teams have lost too many players due to technicals

[Warlord23]

So at least we know who the MVP of the game will be. Bennett's whistle is the most dominant force in NBA history.

In our very first playoff game Stern sends a giant " You"

Good thing we have passionate young guns to get us through the garbage.

im scared to watch

Mavs are the ones with bad Salvatore history.

I expect Dirk to get 3-4 phantom calls, just like he did in game 1 last year, and to shoot at least 10 FTs this game

I expect Terry to hit a 4th quarter 3 and do his stupid jet antics.

I expect Marion to shoot several of his jacked up looking jumpers.

I expect Kidd to make every 3 he shoots, since he only misses those against the 28 other teams in the league.


I expect Manu to give the Mavs fits

I expect Parker to attack the lane and miss a handful of layups

I expect the Spurs to miss half their FT attempts

I expect Mason, Bonner, Bogans, and RJ to go 2-12 from 3

I expect Duncan to get into early foul trouble and struggle to find any sense of rhythm in this game

I expect Hill, Blair, and Temple to be unsung heroes who help lead the Spurs to a 1 pt victory.

I expect to see Ian in streetclothes, sadly.

WTF? Not sure if you're being sarcastic but Kidd has become the mavs best 3pt shooter and if im not mistaken he is either number 1 or 2 in most 3's this season.

Marion doesn't shoot jumpers anymore

Bennett doesn't do the Spurs any favors when they play the Mavs in San Antonio.

He shot like 40% from three this year.

Spurs shot 48 FTs in that game. I was at work that night and had to follow along via the Gamecast. Had to have been an UGLY game to watch.

[DPG21920]

Kidd has been a great 3 PT shooter all year. Especially in clutch situations. He seems to make the most timely 3's.

[DPG21920]

If it is a FT contest, Spurs will lose.

10 of those 48 were because Nelson had Dallas start hacking Bowen off the ball in the second quarter.

[mavsfan1000]

Stern giving us the middle finger as always. Expect Danny Crawford to ref a game in this series as well as Bavetta.
