**Mavs vs Suns Gamethread**

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Honestly, I would have ragged on either team. It was a GREAT game, one of the more fun games I've seen that doesnt have the Spurs in it.

Dallas lost, yeah, but I would still say they would beat Phoenix in a 7 game series.... to bad that wont happen because Spurs are going all the way with Manu becoming a Demon Lord from the depths of when we get to the finals.

yeah, Manu's the X-factor in terms of Championship ball. You know what everyone else in the league, and what to expect. But Manu's just crazy. But yeah this was one of the rare ESPN nights where I enjoyed both teams as much as the Spurs games...

Hollinger's ratings are gonna crush the Mavs now.

See? That's one down.

Que? I'm not a bandwagon fan. I'm a sick and emotionally drained 20-something who's got work in the morning and is exhausted. C'mon Shoogar. How can you be so mean?

Dude, fillmoe -- your team isn't even in the playoffs, man.

Heh, on ESPN's recap, the difference between Nash and Dirk in clutchness: Nash drew the foul on the three, when his defender jumped. Dirk didn't think about that when he tried to tie the game against Marion.

This game was a battle of MVPS.

most of the time the shooter would not get the foul call in that situation

so dirk did the right thing in just shooting it as oppose to trying so hard in drawing the foul and missing badly (a la' duncan)

Although the officiating royally sucked my balls tonight - screwed Suns over in 3rd quarter... then screwed Mavs in OT

Good game suns...Just cant stomach the way we lost. Dirk played a lot of minutes probably the most. I dont blame him but we made a lot of mental mistakes and kind of gave up the aggression in the fourth.

Nash made all the plays and they deserved this win. Now this makes it a race in the west again. We had an opportunity to stretch the lead and rest the starters a bit..

[Xylus]

im going to stop watching bball if nash wins his 3rd mvp

I want him to win for that reason alone.

Suns don't play defense when it counts? 20 points in the 4th quarter for the Mavs.

Suns can't compete with the Mavs? They erased a double-digit lead with just a few minutes left in the game.

Suns can't beat the Mavs? They just beat them on their home court.

I'm not saying the Suns are better than the Mavs, but anyone who thinks the Suns aren't as good as the Spurs and Mavs.

[timvp]

Props to both the Suns and the Mavs. Both great teams.

[Fillmoe]

did i forget to mention that the mavs choked harder than mama cass?

[Ozzman]

yeah I told you guys that it sucked....
even then, the Mavs gave it away and showed their true colors.

oh no, i'm going to cry...mavs lost by 2 points to the suns, spurs lost by 16 to the suns last time they played and the spurs were up going into the second half, hollinger can chomp on that

Understood. I almost couldn't watch. I'm glad I was able to suck it up. I should have known Shoogar wouldn't take cheap shots.

[dirk4mvp]
