Round 1: Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors

But they did... they now know its a mistake to play like that... there's also the possibility that their tanks were a big fat empty, and they felt the game was done at 112-103.

Lessons should be learned... their crowd will help their stamina... and Dallas has to play another desperate game on the road.

 

Weird... the Warriors were totally out of synch when Dallas doubled Davis early. Not like they never see anyone double team Davis before.

 

Someone with member privileges please make a thread about how much of a douchebag Jason Terry is.

I didn't watch the game closely till the 4th quarter, but I saw at least 2 things that Terry did.

- Grabbed Baron Davis and shoved him to the ground IN FRONT OF THE WARRIORS BENCH!
- I don't know what he said, but he said something to Jackson when he was leaving for the locker room because of the ejection. If he said something like "good game", then never mind. Ignore this.

 

All of these people who are saying that GS is are r****ded! This isnt a turning point, GS still has two games to win it, dallas needed to blow them out and they did not. GS will be like whatever and prob win on thursday, dallas is a joke just like dirk.

 

Must win for the Warriors in game 6, no way they beat the mavs in game 7 at AAC. They are going to have to forget about tonight, that was desperate 67 winteam making a run, $hit happens like that, but they have to bounce back.

 

The Warriors came up short but still played a great game. They came back from being down 21 and why their shooting went cold at the end I don't blame them for taking those threes and pushing the ball. Thats what got them the lead in the first place and if they tried playing it slow it down Van Gundy Ball that probably wouldn't have helped them.

The pressure is still on the Mavs though. They defended their home court but for the best team in basketball they barely missed losing the first round at home.

 

Those two sentences kind of contradict eachother to me. But anyhow, Golden State won't have to sit and simmer about this. They were the underdogs coming in and they are still the underdogs in Game 6. They don't have the pressure to succeed like Dallas does which works tremendously in GS's favor.

 

live by the 3 die by the 3

 

Surprise surprise....the refs help the Mavs.

-Harris gets and1 opportunity even though he didnt convert
-Dirk going over the back
-JRich getting fouled on the elbow on the last 3pter
-Baron Davis getting a called for a anticipated foul (although necessary)

 

The good thing about this is that the Rockets can't start thinking ahead to playing the Warriors now.

 

How the hell can you say they cant win game 7? They almost won tonight!! What the hells the difference?

 

Whoa what? They gave Harris a free basket that he didn't even make!?

 

I was actually hoping they'd draw some inspiration on how to win in a hostile environment, and close out a series on the road.

 

i bet Mavs fans had their nuts swallowed there when Warriors got the lead

 

They're not contradictory. Like I said, I personally would find it harder to forget a 4th quarter collapse than a 40 point blowout. However, if there's a team whose players are capable of forgetting said collapse and continue playing with a chip on their shoulders, it's Golden State.

 

Mavs fans are worse than jazz fans, how do you chant mvp for that loser!

 

They missed their last 7 shots, but only 2 of those 7 were quality shots. The rest were bad shots forced up as the clock was running down on them.

A couple of times they had decent shots but passed hoping to get a better one and wound up getting a worse shot.

 

not to mention punching finley in the balls last year
also, he is so fake in all of his interviews

total douche

 

Avery Johnson is f*ckin stupid:

"The pressure is on them now. They have a 10,000 lb weight on them now. The pressure is on them to win"

Has he been watching the same series? The Oracle crowd pushes the Warriors over the top for 48 minutes. There is no pressure greater than the thought of getting raped by an 8-seed on their home court.

 

3-3 series in dallas..u have to give dallas the advantage in game 7.

honestly the crowd in oakland is what made the big difference in games 3 and 4... that place was rocking.
