I'm wearing my lucky shirt tonight, so the Spurs are ed:
Mavs are 2-0 in this series when I wear it, and 0-3 when I don't. That is obviously causation and not correlation. It's science.

Good luck to both of yas!
"I think we owe the series to Nick Van Exel, who - when things were looking bleak - got us thinking the right way and taking the next step that we really needed to hear from a teammate and not a coach. I always encourage the team to be the leaders. It's a sad state of affairs when the coach has to be the leader of the team."
- Don Nelson
Once upon a time, our beloved boys in blue were getting curbstomped by the Sacramento Queens and things looked bleak. Thanks to some inspired leadership by Nick Van Exel and his rallying cry of " dem es! They put they pants on one leg at a time jus' like us!" the Mavericks rallied back to send those Queens fishing.
I know some of you little Mavettes have already thrown in the towel like the quitting es that you are, and are gleefully awaiting our exit so you can pat yourself on the back for calling it, like you're some kind of "genius." that bull . Your ass can keep waiting. Eddie Najera is gonna fling some s to the floor tomorrow. This is coming back to Dallas so we can put the Burrito Eaters out of their misery. I'm not eating one of these slimy pieces of tomorrow night, I can guarantee you that:

Great stuff best seris of Round one by far ...Im Expecting a GREAT game ...
Gotta bring out all the classics..
Let's get this on
WE HAVE FOUR, GOTS.
Key tonight for Dallas:
Overall we need to continue to be aggressive in attacking the paint on offense and being active on defense.
If the game bogs down into a half-court slog, then the Spurs win, because only Dirk can score efficiently in our half-court sets, whereas the Spurs have Duncan and Parker, Hill, Ginobili to penetrate and break down our guards. Going into Game 5, they had shot 49% for the series. Tuesday night, they shot 36% and Dallas was able to take advantage by running off the misses and burning the Spurs in transition. Our defense is going to have to set up our offense. If we can't run off misses, then we can't win. On paper we should have an advantage with the length of our frontline, but that's negated when the Spurs are hitting their shots and we can't run.
The Mavs played with a lot of determination and energy in Game 5 and didn't settle for jumpers. They won't get as many calls driving to the basket tonight; that's just the reality of being a road team in this league. But they can't start settling for jumpers and let the refs calls, or lack of them, dictate their level of aggression. If we duplicate Game 5's energy and execution, we won't win by 23 again, but we WILL get the W. When we play like that San Antonio just can't handle it. You can bet that the Spurs will not sleepwalk through this game in front of their fans with a chance to close us out.

Key tonight for San Antonio:
The Spurs need to dictate the pace and tempo of this game.
Duncan and Manu have both dropped turds the last two times out. The Mavs really got a boost going with Haywood in the starting lineup, since he is a guy that Duncan has to guard and expend energy playing defense, as well as somebody who improves our half-court offense since he can catch a pass and finish. I look for the Spurs to go to Duncan early, in an effort to get him going after his struggles, and also to try and get Haywood in foul trouble. If the Mavs have to commit to doubling Duncan early, then that'll open things up for their stellar guards.
For lack of a better term, the Spurs win "ugly." If they can ugly this game up into dueling half-court sets where they can break down our defense with Hill, Parker and Manu, and we only have Dirk to consistently rely on, then San Antonio will win this game. Dallas should pack the lane and force the Spurs guards to try and beat us with jumpers. They're likely to miss a few more of these, and with Dirk and our centers, we should be able to win the rebounding battle and be able to get out and run off the misses. The Mavs need to up the pace and tempo. I have no problem getting beat by Tony Parker nailing three straight 20-foot jumpers to seal a win. I DO have a problem with him getting into the lane at will where only bad things can happen (drawing fouls and getting our bigs into foul trouble, getting And Ones, etc)

Mavs And Spurs On 'Friends-And-Family Plan' - Except For Eduardo Najera
Rivals Travel Together, Dine Together, Duck Together When Enforcer 'El Rayo' Is Coming
For the Mavs, this is not "Hatfields-vs.-McCoys.’’ Not in-house, and not really with the Spurs, either.
In MavsLand, there is a JJ Barea-vs.-Roddy Beaubois debate. But the cornermen in the “fight’’ co-exist so nicely that for last week’s trip to San Antonio, two of the fans who traveled together from Dallas were buddies: JJB’s brother and Roddy B’s cousin.
Same goes off the court with Mavs and Spurs. Three nights ago, San Antonio’s Matt Bonner was dining with friends at a Dallas steakhouse when he realized that at the adjoining table were Barea and family. The two groups became one, and basketball stories were swapped.
There is really only one exception to this Mavs-Spurs Friends-and-Family Plan.
Meet Eddie Najera.
He objects to being called an “enforcer’’ but not because it offends his skills; his objection is that it might portray him in a way that negatively affects his team. He has in this series ac ulated a Flagrant 1 (he eye-poked Tony Longoria in classic “Three Stooges’’-style) and that came in Game 5 -- after he’d already been theoretically reined in by the NBA with a Flagrant 2 for his horse-collar of Manu Ginobili in Game 4.
That roughhousing came after “El Rayo’’ had played for just 47 seconds. Then he was ejected. With his trio of Flagrant “points,’’ he is one more Flagrant away from a one-game suspension and a Flagrant 2 away from a two-game suspension.
Which, for Eddie, changes very little.
"I just can't go wild like I usually can," Najera said. "Just pick and choose my spots. Obviously, I'm still going to have my rule, the ‘No Lay-Up Rule.’’’
The ‘No Lay-Up Rule.’ This is old-school basketball; come into the paint and you go down onto the paint. It is drawing a great deal of objection in San Antonio, but there is no team in basketball more capable of understanding Najera’s approach than the Spurs.
If you don’t see that, then you haven’t seen new Spur DeJuan Blair aim his elbow at Dirk Nowitzki’s chin.
If you don’t see that, then you haven’t seen old Spur Bruce Bowen make an entire career of chippiness.
Indeed, Najera says that hit on Manu was in part a counterpunch for the way Dirk had been bullied earlier in that same game.
“If somebody's pushing you around,” Najera said, “obviously you have to kind of retaliate and stand your ground.”
Meanwhile, if you don’t think the Spurs understand how to make this contact sport work for them – as perpetrators and as victims – just ask Eddie.
"They do flop a lot," Najera said. "(Parker) was on the floor like he got shot or something. It makes it look worse than it really is."
I might add that the perception of the Ginobili tackle was possibly made worse by the fact that Manu had earlier sustained a broken nose, thus making him a sympathetic figure … even to the refs.
Consider the San Antonio paper’s view of the incident that resulted in Ginobili’s crooked schnozz:
Ginobili, it is written, “hasn't been the same since Dirk Nowitzki took a chisel and altered a Michelangelo-inspired creation. …’’
Is that what happened? Dirk elbowed Manu in the face?
That’s not something Nowitzki would do.
It is something Eddie Najera would do.
The irony of Najera being San Antonio’s Public Enemy No. 1 goes beyond Eddie playing basketball in a style that has contributed to the Spurs’ traditional success. There is also irony in that previous to this series, the 6-8, 235-pound Najera was somewhat of a favorite son of the city, the native of Mexico having played at San Antonio’s Cornerstone Christian Academy High School before going on to the University of Oklahoma and then a vagabond NBA career that started in Dallas and this year returned him here.
Tonight, Brendan Haywood will be the probably starting 5. Dirk will of course start at the 4. At some point, Najera is likely to get at least a brief look as the backup to one or both of them. A Spur will get into the lane. There will be contact. A whistle will blow …
"I’m not worried about that," Najera said.
No. In fact, the Mavs hope it is the Spurs who are worried about that
And your NBA referees for tonight's Game 6, Mavs-ar-Spurs, are ...
Eddie F. Rush, Bill Spooner and Tom Washington.
