Mavs in 7. Believe.
I'd rather look at funny pictures of kitties and talk about sexin' up Jessica Alba than to dive head-first into that potential misery right now.
Mavs got it in da bag yo.
believe
I'm totally on-board with that, but man - those Warriors are impressive.
Seriously, I know how all the Mav fans feel. We were down 1-3 last year and pushed it to 7. Mavs played well for stretches in Game 4. If they can play well longer and use home crowd energy, I can see them winning Game 5. Pulling one out in Oakland will be hard, but they can win on the road. Then come back home for 7 with momentum in their favor. Dirk is going to have to stop being a and push around the Warriors. If he would just stop being a pussy and post up, they wouldn't be down right now.
It will be long. It will be tough. But it can be done.
The only thing there is to discuss is what Dirk will kick when they lose. :\
Are you hitting on me?
Diop playing substantial minutes.
Closing out at the wings and three point shooters.
Get Dirk in the game early.
That should net a Mavs win. A plus on their side is the fact that they're not in hostile territory.
Dallas has shown no heart.
I was so shocked to see Warriors win today, that there is no way in Dallas will get this series. they are done in 6.
is this the earliest? I think you should have gambled and made this thread after Baron Davis' halfcourt shot. That seemed like they were destined to take this game in Instant Classic style.
Maybe. Meet me behind the gym after school.
Do you guys really believe?? For the Mavs??? Whatever let's you sleep easier at night.
if it ain't broke, don't fix it
I want the Mavs to win. I got money on them winning this series.
Mavs got this one
It's possible, Dallas finally seemed to be able to keep up in transition and do the things they wanted to do tonight, but 3-1 is pretty tough. A few possessions here or there, wipe out those two fluke end of quarter plays by Davis, and it's 2-2 with HCA. They finally seem to have figured out how to attack these guys, and Diop just completely changes the complexity of how these teams matchup, I think he may never have much of an offensive game but he can be a useful defender at the center position if he ever builds his stamina up to 35 minutes a game. He's going to get a ridiculous offer from some team and I think Cuban seriously has to consider matching it.
All that said, tonight was more of a return to Mavs basketball, but there are some things they still just can't neutralize. And not only is Dirk having a subpar series, but he's completely disappeared and turned into a role player. He got a lot of rebounds tonite and he blocked some shots, he contributed tonight, but nowhere near "MVP" impact. The Warrior's strategy toward him I thought would contribute to a lower-impact series and more of a decoy/facilitator role, but he's been turned into a taller Peja Stojakovic. Soft Euro Jumpshooter, which is so weird to see after he peaked last year as a versatile inside/out lethal scoring weapon.
Three straight is pretty steep. The Suns did it, the Pistons did it, you guys came a centimeter away from pulling it off, but I doubt it. The odds say no. No margin for error whatsoever.
The Mavs is invincible.. Dirk is MVP.. and AJ is coach of the year.. plus they paid off the refs..
Mavs will win this one. Guaranteed.
Despite the loss, I think we played well on the whole. Yes, we had -ups, and yes those screwed us over, but I am still confident in this team. We will push this to 7, and we will prevail. We did not come this far to get blown out like this. Our experience, our passion, our strength, our coach will shine on Tuesday. Each player on the Dallas Mavericks will sprout an extra pair of balls and lead us to victory. We have Golden State in our crosshairs.
On another note, if our crowd isn't fired up on Tuesday and ready to give us the energy that GS fans gave their team, then I will be sorely disappointed. If we don't get that energy, then I say we forcibly make the "pretty people" of Dallas give up their seats to real fans. Fans who don't start rooting because the team is doing "well." Fans who don't desert their team when the going get tough. Fans who have faith that their team will bounce back after a heartbreaking loss.

Mavs will win Game 5. The home crowd and motivation to avoid complete embarrassment will propel them to a relatively easy win. Game 6 will decide the series.
There's no doubt in my mind, that Dirk is going to be calling up his buddy Steve, asking how he handled it last year against the seventh seed Lakers.
a treadmill ? no, people are more into elliptical machines today
Hitting an elliptical machine is cooler
the mavs suck and i hope they trade dirk for elson
Overreacting ??
