Mavs - Warriors game 5 blog

[sabar]

I KNOW the Mavs will win this series now. NOTHING that GS does will stop the Mavericks from winning the series...NOTHING. I KNOW THIS as surely as if it had already happened. The Mavs WILL win Game 6, and go back to Dallas for Game 7. Game 7 will be a BLOWOUT...the Mavericks will win by 25-30 points. I GUARANTEE IT!!!

I'd say this is Dirk Nowitski, but there's no copious use of pink elephants.

Jinx time

SHHHH...

Mavs were lucky to escape with a win at home against an 8 seed and they actually think they've done something! Terry is a thug and should be suspended for Game 6. Warriors somehow blow a 9 point lead in the blink of an eye...and the mavs think they've done something? Go Warriors......beat their ass in Oakland......Nowitski is a soft jump-shooting 7 footer. When he does go to the basket.....absolutely no intention of trying to score....just looking for the bail out foul call which he gets 99% of the time. I hope the refs look the other way just a couple of times in Oakland and the big stiff will get frustrated and pull his normal playoff choke job. GO WARRIORS !

Are you really this stupid?

"They're back" = choking huge 21 point lead at home, and relying on two miracle threes at the end to come back and win?

2 miracle threes. You're such a . Nobody around here has ever seen Dirk shoot 3's. Luckiest shots of his life probably.

honestly... are mav fans happy about this win? i mean... they were down by 9 points with a little over 3 minutes left... at home... after being up 21 points... in an elimination game. up until this win i actually believed that the mavericks would win 3 in a row and take the series. now? now i believe GS takes it in 6... and it might not even be close.

I thought Dallas would dominate, oh the Warriors were so close. Hope they pull of the win in Oakland.

Miracle isn't the right term, but it took two shots that Dirk never really relies on anymore, he doesn't do those type of things anymore. That is what I meant, went totally against what he established himself as in the regular season.

That was going to be the perfect way to send the Mavs home. Hollywood couldn't have scripted it any better.

But then GS thought they were a half court team and played prevent defense with three minutes to go.

Mavs by 30 in Game 6.

word...

I was ecstatic during those final 3 minutes. But they just choked it away. They forgot how they got there..

Now the only thing that could rectify it is if the Warriors blow the Mavs out by 40 at Golden State.

[mqywaaah]

Oh we could only hope... Go Mavs!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Go Mavs GO!

He did what he had to do.

No. We're mad about the win. We don't like it. We were hoping for a loss.

.....jesus christ, what a ing re ed question
.

And by the way Spurs fans, I find it a bit humorous some of the claims you all are making about how GS should "blow Dallas out" in Game 6 because Dallas almost choked this Game 5 away. I seem to recall the Spurs winning a Game 5 last year by ONE POINT when Dirk missed a wide open tip-in at the buzzer. And yet I'm going to venture a guess that few of you were upset or thought that they had little chance in Game 6.

[ShoogarBear]

We should compile a list of the Mav Fans who only post after wins.

[NBA Junkie]

WOW Warriors pissed this game away with some dumb shots.

No different than what the Mavs did in game 4.

The law of averages only took two days to come full circle.

I think Dallas wins this series.
