Its the Mavs' game to lose now

JeeberD · 05-22-2006, 10:00 PM

Diop is a horrible free throw shooter. Hopefully he can hit this next one...

Just saw him dressed on the bench. *shurg*

Groundhog · 05-22-2006, 10:03 PM

I hope the Clips-Suns game is a blowout... my heart can't handle all this stress

Pumpy Tudors · 05-22-2006, 10:04 PM

Thanks for the foul, Harris. Now we get another damned timeout. This reminds me why I only watch Game 7s in the NBA now.

JeeberD · 05-22-2006, 10:04 PM

DEVIN!

He has tons of potential but his inexperience kills me sometimes...

hoopsguy · 05-22-2006, 10:04 PM

I can't believe Bavetta makes that call there.

Groundhog · 05-22-2006, 10:04 PM

*slaps head*

JeeberD · 05-22-2006, 10:06 PM

Whew...

Terry to the line.

Groundhog · 05-22-2006, 10:06 PM

Hell of a line for Devin tonight: 1-3 FGs, 1 Reb, 5 PFs, 5 TOs, 30:21 mins.

Pumpy Tudors · 05-22-2006, 10:07 PM

It's an Adrian Griffin sighting!

Pumpy Tudors · 05-22-2006, 10:08 PM

I'm being facetious here, but how many timeouts do these teams get? At least some of the TV timeouts get charged to the teams, and yet they still have enough timeouts to make an overtime last for an hour and a half. This is unreal.

Young Drachma · 05-22-2006, 10:09 PM

Finally!

Pumpy Tudors · 05-22-2006, 10:09 PM

Also, from a distance, Del Harris looks like an old lady.

gotta love the NBA...

Ugh...its almost as bad as tv timeouts in college football.

as if the game isn't long enough.

Great series, the Spurs have NO quit in them. I just hope that Mavs don't get complacent now that they've slain their mortal enemy.

Neuqua · 05-22-2006, 10:13 PM

I'm still confused as to when Jeebs became a Mavs fan and gave up on his Rockets allegiance.

Maybe it is more of a case of Spurs hate?

JeeberD · 05-22-2006, 10:19 PM

Nah, the Mavs are right up there with my favorite teams (though I will root for just about anybody who is playing the Spurs...except for the Lakers). I moved up here right about the same time they started getting good and it was hard not to fall in love with the run and gun, scrappy team they were. I certainly hear a lot more Mavs news nowadays than I do Rockets news.

cartman · 05-22-2006, 10:24 PM

I grew up as a Mavs fan. My heart was broken when Derek Harper dribbled away the clock at the end of the game 6 against the Lakers, when he thought he was icing the game, instead it was a tied game. Then the low years, when 1st round picks were spent on guys like Uwe Blabb. I remember it being real easy in the mid-90s to get free floor level seats to most home game. Now, they are a fun team to watch again.

Chief Rum · 05-22-2006, 10:25 PM

Raja Bell...how did that guy get away without getting a flagrant intentional on that one on Livingston? Gawd, I hate that guy, and hometown calls, too (they called the foul, of course, but Ray Charles could have made that call...now!).

JeeberD · 05-22-2006, 10:26 PM

Come on, Clips!

Fixed.

JeeberD · 05-22-2006, 10:32 PM

Well, I am an Edmonton Oilers fan as well...

Actually, I can't stand bandwagon fans and would never be one. Do you think I would be a UTEP, Cowboys, Rockets, and Astros fan if all I did was root for the hot team?

JeeberD · 05-22-2006, 11:57 PM

So much for the Clips...

Groundhog · 05-23-2006, 12:22 AM

I wanted Clips to win, but Suns-Mavs should be great. Would be hard to top Mavs-Spurs, though.

Even though the timeouts get "charged" to the teams, they are just regular TV timeouts. The teams don't really have control over when they are taken.

stevew · 05-23-2006, 08:18 AM

The Mavs are the only team left in te playoffs that I can tolerate. I like a few of the guys on the Suns, but I hate the greasy long haired canuck. As far as the eastern conference goes, I can't stand either of the teams.

Neon_Chaos · 05-23-2006, 08:42 AM

Let's go Mavs! Only team left that I'm following.

Arles · 05-23-2006, 11:02 AM

big win for Phoenix. It just comes down to if they can hit their shots in 4 of the 7 games. If they can, they very well may pull this out. That said, Dallas has a big advantage on size, talent and depth. So, it's going to be a tough one for Phoenix.

stevew · 05-23-2006, 02:19 PM

I'm confident that the Mavs will get a good series out of Harris and Howard. Looking at it, I think Dirk and Terry can outscore Nash and Marion, the Mavs will just have to defend the 3 point line well. At no point can you let some combo of Eddie House/Tim Thomas/James Jones rain 3's if you want a chance at winning.

miami_fan · 05-23-2006, 08:49 PM

Two fuckin offensive fouls on Wade!

stevew · 05-24-2006, 08:36 AM

The Heat should roll these guys. Defend the 3 point line, don't double from a shooter. Foul both Wallace's as much as possible. If you can put Ben Wallace and his 22% free throw shooting on the line, you gotta do it. Unlike the Cavs, the Heat have a lot of offensive weapons, so I think they should prevail.

Video of Avery Johnson's frantic substitution bringing Griffin into the game. I bet Josh Howard wishes he never picked up that 6th foul which put him on the bench and in the line of fire.

Enjoy (unless you're Howard).

Neuqua · 05-24-2006, 05:41 PM

DALLAS -- Mavericks coach Avery Johnson has a message for his team in the wake of Jason Terry getting suspended for punching San Antonio's Michael Finley between the legs: Don't hit, grab.

Groundhog · 05-24-2006, 08:15 PM

Not watching the game (unfortunately) but Suns are off to their usual hot start, and Nowitzki is 1-4 from the floor with 2:24 to go in the 1st.

JeeberD · 05-24-2006, 08:16 PM

The Mavs are settling for jumpers instead of taking it to the hole and the shots aren't dropping yet...

miami_fan · 05-24-2006, 08:18 PM

When did Van Horn become a instant foul machine?

JeeberD · 05-24-2006, 08:22 PM

He's been that way all playoffs long. He missed a lot of time, though, so what little quickness he has probably isn't back yet...

JeeberD · 05-24-2006, 08:29 PM

Dampier really does have some nice moves around the hoop. The Mavs would be smart to get him the ball some down low...

That is what I meant. Throughout the playoffs he just can't stay on the floor. I am not sure this is going to be a good series for him matchup wise on either end of the floor.

stevew · 05-24-2006, 09:00 PM

Jeez, Dallas needs to figure out how to slow down the fast break. 30 plus points in transition.
