    McHale giving Capela minutes over Dorsey tonight gives me some real hope.

    Unleash ACCAPELA on the Mavpricks!:mad:

    I would love to see Clint and Howard play together for as long as Mavs let them play together.

    gonna keep my hopes at bay for now. last year i thought for sure we would beat portland but we saw how that went.. this year we have a better defensive team but our terrible free throw shooters might make this series very very close

    I hope I'm wrong but the way I'm interpreting this is there's a different tie break procedure for seeding and for home court advantage. Reading paragraph d, which refers you back to b, Clippers would get home court over us in round 2.

    Division winner trumps all for seeding and positioning. Head to head determines home court. Who you play is determined by division winner. Where you play is determined by record.

    Friends at the arena said that they announced game 1 to be on Saturday, but the post-game show keeps saying it hasn't been determined yet. Anyone have any idea on when the 1st game is?

    The Rockets would have home court. Otherwise why would they be seeded 2nd over the Clippers right now? They have the tiebreaker.

    Face it. If we cant beat dallas then we dont deserve to get past the first round anyway.

    Dallas is a perfect warm up to that mindset. Just go out and crush. I see us losing 1 game on their court. Rockets in 5.

    Definitely dont want a 7 game knock down drag out. Need to go for jugular right away.

    They better be f-ing fired up.

    Is the game sat or sunday?

    Spurs did their part and put themselves into the best position possible to be back to the western conference finale this season. Portand and Gold State can not stop them.
