Mavericks at Phoenix Game 6, 7:30 CDT

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You gotta realize when Bavetta calls a game, it's no longer about the players on the court, it's about him.

[Xylus]

Dirk's off to a bad start, but he's not going to play this badly the entire game...

[ducks]

22 rebounds for suns
12 for mavs
mavs are doing better rebounding now

did in game 5

[CubanMustGo]

Now Bell picks up his third foul. Guess the refs want to see the bench guys get some PT ...

[themvp]

WHY do they allways switch to the "floor cmaera" (under the basket) when someone is dunking in a fastbreak?

[picnroll]

Finally Dirk get called for a hip check

[CubanMustGo]

Finally Dirk get called for a hip check

That's his foul of the half.

did in game 5

You really think Dirk is going to sandwich his 50-point scorcher with two dud games?

[CubanMustGo]

Getting sloppy out there ... and Phoenix has missed an awful lot of layups, should be up 20 by now. 48-33 2:59 left with two free throws coming for the Suns.

[ducks]

they called traverling alot now in playoffs

that would be funny

[ducks]

come on suns get lead back to 15-18 at half

[Spurologist]

Diaw getting jobbed

[picnroll]

Anbody know why Diaw puts a foerarm in Dirk's side on a drive and it's a foul. Then Howard puts a forearm in Diaw's side on a drive and no call?

[picnroll]

Dirk hits Nash. No call

[themvp]

Diaw needs a rest.

[CubanMustGo]

Diaw picks up HIS third personal foul. That's four Phoenix players with three fouls now.

Dallas makes a run at the end of the half as Phoenix is getting nothing from anyone not named Diaw, Marion, or Nash. Lucky to still lead by double digits, 51-39.

[picnroll]

ing DIrk is the chosen one

[Spurologist]

Diaw needs a rest.

nobody on phoenix gets rest

[Xylus]

Boris Diaw: 20 points, 8 rebounds, 8/11 FG

At the half. Dayum.

The entire Suns lineup is in foul trouble...

[ducks]

suns need to score 105-110 to win

[AMOS7]

Because Dirk does not play rough defense
