I am very excited to see the game Sunday. I think it'll be a close one, with the refs helping out the Mavs, and I think they'll pull off the win. Avery is too good a coach and the Mavs too good a team to not understand and execute in a must-win game against an inexperienced 8th seed.
It's going to be tough though. Same as the Spurs...I think they'll have at tough time beating the Nuggets tonight which would put them in the same boat as the Mavericks.
, here I am about as nervous for the Warriors as I am for the Spurs.
I know the Spurs will beat the Nuggets, so I'm not too worried. But imagine if the Warriors won this series, although unlikely, despite the 2-1 lead...that would be a huge favor. If the Warriors beat the Mavs, the rest of the playoffs don't even have ti be played.
Because the Spurs would be guaranteed to win it all.
8th seed Warriors were a weirdly strong 30-11 @home, only 1W behind 31-win@home 3rd seeds Spurs and 4th seed Jazz.
Conversely, the 8th seed Warriors were horrible on the road, losing 5 more road games than 7th seed Lakers, and had a worse road record that 9th - 12th place WC teams, tied with the 13th place TWovles for bad road record.
BUT ... for the season + playoffs, the Warriors are a weirdly strong 2-1 @Dallas while Mavs are pitiful 0-3 @Oakland.
The Warriors' 1L @Mavs, the Mavs' only W vs Warriors, was very probably a gift from Baron and Bennet. If the Warriors lose this series, the Baron's ejection in Game2 will be seen as the swing game (Without that ejection, Mavs would now be 0-3 and historically doomed)
Four games remaining, 2@Oakland, 2@Dallas.
Can 0-3@Oakland Mavs finally scratch out a W in Game4 @Oakland? If not, the Warriors take the series.
( 2 of the Warriors' 11 L's @Home were devastating blowouts by the Spurs! )
None of the above makes feel any better about the Spurs @Denver!

warriors will go all the way since we will beat the mavs and the spurs will lose to the nugs.
predictions are better when you make them BEFORE series starts.
Warriors in 6 as I've said BEFORE series started.
I was so relieved to read your whole post L.J.
You're still
The Baron and Bennet theory doesn't hold water, considering the Mavs were up 11 when the ejections occurred. The meltdown occured because Dallas started playing defense in the 3rd quarter (after Avery's early timeout) and eventually pulled away from Warriors. After Davis' missed 3 point attempt and 4th foul with seconds left in the 3rd, he broke down.
Meltdowns aren't any different than missing FT's or allowing your guy to blow past you in the lane, they are strange mental lapses that are part of the game!
I don't think Denver is in Spurs' head like Warriors are in Mavs'. Makes a big difference, take it from a fan of a team who let the Lakers in their heads. Missed FT's in Game 7, 2002 killed. A strange mental lapse lost the series, go figure.None of the above makes feel any better about the Spurs @Denver!
The big question: would SJax go into the stands to fight AJ's wife?
If AJ's wife tried to run him down, maybe. Over a tossed bear? Probably not.
I take it you don't understand what a serious offense tossing bears is.If AJ's wife tried to run him down, maybe. Over a tossed bear? Probably not.

Bears are definitely worth more than beers by a longshot though.

What a joke thread this is. SMH
Well, there's this other team called the Phoenix Suns, and they are quite good. And if we get past the Nuggets, we'd have to play them.
Mavs will lose Sunday.
idk about anyone else but i HATE watching warrior games...they arent even a team, theyre just 5 guys on the court at a time who all just like to throw up 3's...and your center shouldnt be a guard, its not even real basketball...small ball is so gay, and i appoligize to the spurs fans who had to deal with our small ball last year...truly a very annoying thing
Mavs in 6? Based on what?
Sure, logic tells us that there is now way in God's green earth that the Warriors can go up 3-1 tomorrow. That said, logic tells us that there is no way that the Warriors would win game 1...and then game 3.
Watching this series so far, and ignoring the fact that the Mavs had an epic regular season, it does not seem likely that the Mavs will end up winning. So far, the Mavs look confused, scared and totally out of sync. The Warriors, OTOH, look like the team who expects to win the series.
I'm not saying that the Mavs cant turn the series around, but speaking as a basketball fan with no rooting interest in either team...it does not look good for them.
@ how many people missed the joke in this thread.

I think the Mavs win in 7, but they are coming out of this pretty beat up.
Ahh. I get it.@ how many people missed the joke in this thread.
That said, it's not like there arent hundreds of similar threads floating around the Electric Dallas Fandom that are for real.
WARRIORS IN SIX! Mavs are already satisfied with their best regular season record. In fact, Cuban already ordered the banner that they will hang on their next season's opening night. It says " 2006-2007 BEST REGULAR SEASON RECORD". lolBook it. Guaranteed. The Mavs will not lose again. They have too much experience. This was just a lucky streak by the Warriors. That streak is now over.
IT SUCKS TO BE A MAVS FAN!! they got blownout by 5 guys on the court at a time, who all like's to shoot 3's.....
I dunno about that... The Mav's lost to an inferior team last year, after being up 2-0, who would have expected that?
And who would have expected the W's to be up 2-1? Anything can happen in this series, I'm not willing to book anything.
I noticed the reverse karma in order at the start but I am sharing my views regardless.
