Did you watch game 7? Down 3, driving to the basket and getting a 3 point play to tie and send it to overtime seems pretty clutch to me.
That was clutch yes, but stupid gino fouled instead of just letting him score. At that point you either gotta foul hard enough or let it go. Either way you'd still be up 1 point with less than 24 seconds to go. Most likely Mavs have to foul. Spurs aren't a good FT shooting team but they did well not to give up a 3 in that situation but gave them a 2 plus 1 instead. Bonehead play! Game set and match for the Mavs. I'm still stinging after that play. GO EAST!
I've seen game 3 and it made me furious. Duncan got fouled out but out of my own eyes (I've watching every minute of it) three of those fouls weren't fouls at all. I almost smashed the TV because it absolutely makes no sense at all. Dammit, I hate the Mavs for holding up a flopping star, a ranting owner, and putting off Eva and SA which is cool. But I do like Avery Johnson though.
I'm detecting some Spurs fans in this thread. Dallas won this game and series with some clutch play and shooting, and Duncan didn't come through for the Spurs. Speaking of Duncan, he fouled JVH out while JVH's hands were straight up. Two minutes later, he had his arms at a 30 degree angle over some random Maverick and was crying when he got called for the foul. That being said, I want the Suns to crush the Mavs. This is going to be a much better matchup than Spurs-Suns. War Stevie Nash going to the finals and representing Canada!
Hate the Mavs, always have but what's worse is I have to listen to another series worth of Mavs coverage up here! Go Suns and Go Pistons Once Dallas is gone, I could care less who wins
I am living in Texas, I root for a Texas team. I love Mark Cuban. He is very cool. I guess if he had bought Rockets few years ago, most of you would be so happy just like all Mavs fans are today, and most of Mavs fans would say same stuff you guys posted here. Human beings ae all same.
You can count me in on the I HATE THE MAVS bandwagon. I don't want to be looking at Mark Cuban during the NBA Finals.
I think the Mavs will win, as much as I hate to admit it...It's bad enough the Mavs fans, were singing "we are the champions" after beating the Spurs...Idiots...
As much as I hate the mavs and their drunken fratboy of an owner (and I DO hate them), at least Cuban caters to the average Joe fan instead of the rich corporate fatcat. I wish the TC was as rowdie at whatever they call the arena that dallas plays in. But yeah, if dallas wins it all, I will be sick to my stomach.
Wasn't that rowdie before the Mavs started winning, I doubt if there are a handful life long Mavs fans in the AAC tomorrow nite, most are bandwagoners who'll bail the moment the team goes south
I hate the mavs because of mark cuban, the fans from other teams in the league should not even know the name of other teams owners.
Oh, no doubt about that. I just think the culture in the 2 arenas is different. Even when we were winning, the TC has never been that rowdy. But this topic has been discussed to death and there's actually a thread about it in the GARM, so I'll just end by saying this: THE DALLAS MAVRICKS BLOW CHIMPS.
As much as I hate to say it, I've learned to like Dirk. The only Maverick player that I cannot stand is Jason Terry. He's on my all-time hate list 1. Raja Bell 2. Karl Malone 3. Jason Terry It's like these guys have faces that you just wanna punch
Hate Dallas and the Mavs, but I've got to give them credit for last night's win. It wasn't handed to them, they earned it.
I have never understood the Dirk-Malone comparison. Other than the flopping (and Dirk is much more blatant), they are totally different. Malone is the most evil player ever put on an NBA uniform. Dirk still has a way to go to get to that level. I understand the dislike of Cuban. But I bet if he were our owner, we would love him to death. He's the kind of guy who is extremely annoying if he's the enemy but you love to have such a guy on your side. His "whining" about officiating is bad only because he's the only owner who dares to do it. If more owners did that, the officiating would be a lot better. They should be held accountable. Having said all that, I hope the Suns win.
