good job lefty
Dirks going to be Dirk. Terrys going to continue not sucking and making clutch 3's. Najeras going to be taking the trash out. Damp's going to kick Duncans knee some.
Dallas WILL win the next game. Scare the Spurs.. win in SA. Then game 7 is a toss up going to Dallas because of homecourt, the refs, and Dirk.
Only true Mav fans know what I'am talking about.
good job lefty
Unless Carlisle gets sacked instantly and succeeded by someone who has a brain, I don't see Mavs reverse their destiny by turning the series the around.
That you be smoking must be really good...
They kind of have to win 3 in a row to get to the next round, right? Gotta play the games homie!
Lol Mavs
You got the last part right. If it gets to game seven.....fear Dirk and the refs!!!
init2winit.
Not probable, but not impossible. Look up 2006 Spurs and Mavs series.
Although if history repeats itself, then that means that the Mavs are screwed.
We wait for Tuesday's game now...
This is true.
init2winit = OP
It's not over and all due respect to Dallas insofar as that's true...
That said, it took every ounce of effort to keep the Spurs in the series in '06. This season is different in that none of our "big three" had a good game tonight and we still gutted out a win. What are the odds the players we have won't get one win in the next three games?
Great win...........Im not trash talking till the Spurs win 4.
Go Big Blue!
7 Stages of Grief...for Mavsfans
1. SHOCK & DENIAL-
You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks.
2. PAIN & GUILT-
As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs.
You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn't do with your loved one. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase.
3. ANGER & BARGAINING-
Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the death on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion.
You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair ("I will never drink again if the refs would just roll things our way")
4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS-
Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be "talked out of it" by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving.
During this time, you finally realize the true magnitude of your loss, and it depresses you. You may isolate yourself on purpose, reflect on things you did with your lost one, and focus on memories of the past. You may sense feelings of emptiness or despair.
5. THE UPWARD TURN-
As you start to adjust to life without your dear one, your life becomes a little calmer and more organized. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your "depression" begins to lift slightly.
6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH-
As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to problems posed by life without your loved one. You will start to work on practical and financial problems and reconstructing yourself and your life without him or her.
7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-
During this, the last of the seven stages in this grief model, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward.
7 stages of grief...
You will start to look forward and actually plan things for the future. Eventually, you will be able to think about your loss without pain; sadness, yes, but the wrenching pain will be gone. You will once again anticipate some good times to come, and yes, even find joy again in the experience of living.
And yes..with acceptance comes understanding. The natural order of things.
Only delusional mavs fans know what your talking boutDirks going to be Dirk. Terrys going to continue not sucking and making clutch 3's. Najeras going to be taking the trash out. Damp's going to kick Duncans knee some.
Dallas WILL win the next game. Scare the Spurs.. win in SA. Then game 7 is a toss up going to Dallas because of homecourt, the refs, and Dirk.
Only true Mav fans know what I'am talking about.
likely, no
but still possible. it all starts with game 5. they have to take care of business and make some better adjustments, and play with some damn effort, instead of just cruising and having no focus with the exception of 2 or 3 five minute spurts. its impossible to focus for a full 48, but if they can focus for the majority of those minutes, and disperse the minutes across their best players a little better, they can definitely turn this into a series. lets hope they do...
If Mavs win game 5 and 6, Spurs will get blown out in Game 7.
But I think the chance of losing 2 games in a row is below 20%.
Spurs drop 3 in a row? Not to this Mavs team
What about stakes? If you really beleive this, and really think it'll happen are you willing to put something on the line? For example are you willing to not post here until October if they lose?
I'm not comfortable yet at all. The Mavs are a very strong team. If they win Game 5 and steal Game six from us at home, we're ed.
We have to close them out before game 7.
The mavs are done. Face it. Time to blow it up.
190 times, a team has been down 3 games to 1 in the history of the NBA playoffs. 8 of those times, they came back to win the series. That's about 4%.
It is, virtually, impossible.
