Round 1: Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors

Now I am just waiting to hear if Jason Terry gets suspended. That was so obvious, the league HAS TO take action.

 

Is it bad that I am more pissed off that Dirk came back to life in those last 2-3 mins? I want him to feel the disappointment of failure..

DAMMIT GS, it was right there!

 

But that's what I was trying to get at. This Golden State team is not like any other team in the past, I say, 10 years. They never show fear. Heck, when they were 21 down, they didn't show any fear. That's why I said this loss doesn't hurt them because they were playing on Dallas' homecourt with a lot of factors against them. If they were raped by 40, I would think that would actually get them thinking that "Hey, I think the #1 seed is finally here". But it's a game THEY gave away AFTER being 21 down.

 

It was Jackson who got tossed, jasonterry nearly body slammed BD, his ass should have been tossed.

 

Nice of you to come out AFTER the game. If I recall correctly, Dirk was ALSO on the floor at the same time as Croshere. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but who is supposedly the MVP? Who is supposed to carry the team? Of course Dirk can't shoot every time Dallas as the ball, but Croshere did not only bail out Dallas for those few minutes but he also let Dirk ride on his back.

 

i wish nelly was more like isaih thomas

nelly is way to cordial

 

You sure watch these games.

 

Actually, you need to worry about your team... or are you slowly starting to be converted to a GS fan, after "being enamored with their play, and finding yourself less angry when they win."

Hey, its happend before to you.

 

That was pretty stupid... pure emotion by Avery there to try and psych out the Warriors.

The Warriors have had ZERO pressure on them THE ENTIRE SERIES. They didn't win 67 games... their season isn't considered a failure if their team doesn't WIN a championship (like the Mavs will be)... they don't have ANYTHING TO LOSE.

This is just like Dirk saying before game 4, "If we lose, its pretty much over." Dumb, and dumber... and GS's fans will be all over Avery for that comment.

 

if sjax gets suspended the nba will lose all credibility. the warriors blew this game with 3 terrible possessions in a row when they still had that 3 pt lead, but the refs also seemed reaaaal determined to let the mavs win. a whole series of phantom calls in a row starting with that clean block on dirk by barnes.

side note: anybody starting to feel bad for dick stockton? dude couldn't get anything right and at one point even said "thank you reggie for correcting me." also reggie is like david stern's pool boy, he says the same thing after every call even when the replay shows it was an iffy call at best, "he got there a little late." or my favorite, "the key is if his feet are inside that circle." reggie makes clyde look good. regggie + stockton probably the worst crew right now, and somehow they're calling the best series. meh.

 

Avery really said that?? About good old Golden State? WOW

 

that's not a verbatim quote but the 10,000 lb thing was certainly said. He would know since the Mavericks haven't rid themselves of their 10,000 deadweight since Game 3 in the 2006 Finals.

 

You started watching the NBA in 1996????

Jesus, nevermind... why am I wasting my time. You missed out on the GREATEST era the NBA will ever see. All of this pales in comparison... no wonder this is the best series you've ever seen, and you're as bandwagon as they come... I'll let you go on with your "priorities".

 

This is GOLDEN STATE were talking about right? Not the freaking Dream Team.

 

Wait...wait...so you're actually a Mavericks fan? And you already think they're losers? Even after the Rockets losing 2 straight in Utah, I was pissed and sad, but I never thought they were going to lose the series. Is this how all Mavericks' fans are?

 

Seriously? Avery, you're a lot smarter than this. Your team is still down. The pressure's still on your team. The opposing team is in better shape. Oh well, I like you, Avery. Want to go fishing next week?

 

Warrior beat themself during those last minute when they stop running play and attacking the basket. They simply just stand there for those last few minute trying to run down the clock.
