    Honestly i recall i moved on pretty quickly after the game 7 blowout. I was so pumped about the future possibilities with Yao and Tmac that i wasn't worried. Then we signed Stro and Tmac said he'd turn him into an all star. I believed :(

    Rolling around with a boy is not how I "drain my sorrows" after a series loss. But that's just me.


    Just sayin......

    Lol, did y'all have a sleep over:confused:

    This scarred me like nothing before. Since this series I have hated the Mavs more than any other organization. With Cuban, Finley out of bounds, Josh Howard thinking he's all that. Its time to get revenge and heal those wounds.

    Great point Teen Wolf; I looked back at all 11 games in that entire season series (including the 4 regular season match-ups) and T-Mac easily (out of all Rockets players) did the best job defending Dirk. Dirk still got his points, but he had to do the most work when Mac was guarding him.

    Horrible taste in my mouth here. I went to game 7 in Dallas. Not good.

    Heck, i still have a bad taste from losing to the Mavs in 88.

    They need to go down, hard.

    Having a few of those guys on the sidelines (everyone invited except T-Mac) would be cool.
    Sura could bump Carlisle while going back to his courtside seat with a huge beer.

    jon barry can roll around on the ground after a huge Harden slam.

    ryan bowen can be every ones waiter and get them drinks at a blindingly fast pace that he can't possibly keep up for the entire game.

    The only adjustment that I remember Van Gundy making was putting T-Mac on Dirk in short spurts and it was working. Oh well, at least we got the "gravity sucked right out of the building" dunk and Bob Sura punking Josh Howard as great memories.

    All we had in 05 was Tmac and Yao. We had Ryan Bowen check Dirk. That was Gundy's move. Hahaha. Another era, another time. Time to have the final chapter closed on this rivalry.

    I wouldn't mind if we get Shved to cut his tongue out of his head, Game of Thrones style, for speaking out against our dynasty
