On a related note, you can all come out now that the Mavs have won .... oh, wait, forget this, some posters I haven't seen in days have already started posting, my bad.
It appears that some Spurs fans are going to do their conspiracy / officiating / Stern bit after Mavs wins...
Ignore them and MAYBE they'll give it up...

I was here yesterday. I can take the gloating and trashtalk. In any event, let's hope we get to hear fans of the other teams about officiating for two more games. I wouldn't have it any other way.
We still have to win one more game on the road at San Quentin and that won't be easy.
Leonard's been here every day, what the are you talking about? the majority of Mavs fans have been posting every day, there's a few that have disappeared but most of us are all here. what board have you been at?
How is that a related note?
Mavs fans sure are y this morning...
not really, it's just irritating when every win is the result of a conspiracy.Mavs fans sure are y this morning...
y?? Explain??Mavs fans sure are y this morning...
I'm just pointing out the same thing that Spurs fans did after game 2...it's WEAK...
It's a lame bit...
Far from it, if I had to put money on it, I don't think the Warriors are losing Game Six. That said, if it comes back to Dallas, I'd put my money on the Mavs for Game Seven.Mavs fans sure are y this morning...
No conspiracy, just highly coincidental that players who laugh and clap only get ejected in Dallas.
Mavs won the game fair and square, but I don't think the Mavs sent the psychological message to the Warriors that they wanted to. A blowout win would have been better for them. Dirk still has a little bit of that scared less look on his face. I think he may have about 75% of his confidence back.
Oh, sorry. This thread was serious? I figured if LEONARD was serious, he would take his own advice and "Ignore them..."
But if you want a serious thread about why the Warriors lost last night:
The Warriors deserved to lose. They got out of their game, and blew a 9 point lead.
They again lost their cool, Davis got his 6th foul, Jackson got ejected... it was Game 2 all over again. Whether or not the Warriors win depends on them playing their game and keeping their composure in Oakland. They do that, they move to the 2nd round. They fail, they go fishing.
It really is as simple as that, it's not the ref's faults, Stern's fault, or the fan's fault...
We went 31-10 on the road this year and we would've had G4 if not for those five fluke points by Davis at the end of the quarters. We can win in that building...Actually doing it is another matter. If we can come into your building in Game 7 and win, we can win at the Oracle. Won't be easy.
yeah but who else in the NBA is stupid enough to "laugh and clap" after the whole Duncan incident? Everyone realized that the Duncan incident was BS, but they also know not to with the refs or do ANYTHING that could resemble mocking a ref.
only a true idiot like Stephen Jackson is stupid enough to repeatedly continue that sort of behavior while the rest of the NBA has wised up to it. Whether or not sarcastic clapping deserves a T or ejection is irrelevant - the refs aren't putting up with it and every other player in the NBA is smart enough not to do it, or at least not so blatantly.
That game is going to be f'ing crazy. Dirk is going to have to DEMAND the ball. If he starts cold, he needs to just keep shooting. I saw periods of time last night where his own teammates didn't want to pass him the ball.
On the defensive side, Dallas needs to employ rule#1 of defense. Stop the ball! There are still WAY too many uncontested layups.
As long as it's not game changing, I don't really care. The ejection of SJax didn't change the game, IMO.
By the way, you still want that Dirk-KG trade to happen?
The ejection of Jackson didn't change the game, true. BUT I do believe it is indicative of an immature team that falls apart when things don't go their way.
I'm not counting the Warriors out, of course. They still have the advantage. But, the loss last night does show their weaknesses.
No doubt. If the Mavs win a game it's because the refs gave it to them. I can't even recall the last time the Mavs won a game where the majority of this board gave them any credit for it. I understand that it's a Spur's forum but every once in awhile the Mavs actually win a game w/o Cuban paying off the refs
I still don't understand why Avery won't play his regular rotation. Part of Dirk's struggles is being put in at the center position without an adequate help defender to protect the rim. He's playing at spots on the floor that he didn't have to for 82 games and it shows.
It's kind of pick your poison: Trap and double Davis to get the ball out of his hands and the Warriors have some pretty choice looks from behind the arc. Your rotations have to be perfect to do that. Play straight up without Dampier in there, and our guys can't keep Davis in front of him and there's nobody back to protect the rim.
Diop just completely changes the dimensions of this series when he's in there. He totally disrupts what the Warriors try to do. I would like to see his +/- for the series. The positives for us right now is that we controlled the tempo in G4, we have FINALLY adjusted to the speed of the Warriors 4 games in, we just choked it away down the stretch and Davis had those two fluke plays. I kinda feel like we're due for a road win...
Golden State has no interior defense either. I can live with letting them eat or starve at the three-point line. They're going to chuck up a bunch of them anyway. What you don't want is incessant penetration by Davis making those shot opportunities any easier.
We can get a layup line going and get their bigs into foul trouble. It's how we got that lead last night and they had to shoot lights out to climb back into it. It's troubling that we let them back into it last night after jumping on them early, but they're no different than Phoenix in that you can never let up.
Dirk had a great clutch performance, but he's FAR from out of my doghouse. It's great that he did what he did, but how about showing some of that in the first 4 games? He's still the reason we're down 3-2 to the 8 seed, and if we lose this series, or even the next one, my Dump Dirk campaign will continue on.
how do you guys feel about your chances in game 6?
He's not out of my doghouse either MONO. I still am willing to trade him for a Championship trophy...
edit:
and I'm 50/50 on G6 too. I think if the Mavs come out 1rst qt like they did this last game, then they will alarm GS. Not necessarily a lot but they will put a lil concern in them. And if they keep trappin BD like they did, SUCCESSFULLY, then I think that will cause more concern. If they fall apart like they did in the final minutes of the game(GS), then the Mavs will pull it. I just hope GS' emotions doesnt get them too amped and things get outta control. Dirk needs to get to the line, drive it, and take good open looks. And the Mavs could win. But they gotta keep GS from hitting any 3 from anywhere on the arc whenever they feel like it or at least try!

i still haven't seen my team show up for 48 minutes. i don't see them winning game 6 but they certainly have shown the potential to do it, and even to beat the out of them.
well, even if you do drop game 6 at least the fans got one of a home closer.......for whatever that's worth
The crowd will be huge but GS can't expect the crowd to win the game for them like they thought they would for a huge chunk of game four
I'm about 50/50 as well. I'm certain the Mavs will show up. I'm just not certain if the Warriors will feel any pressure or not. If they don't and they shoot like they did last night then the Mavs are in big trouble. It's tough to beat a team that shoots 46% from beyond the arc on 35 attempts.
