Have you seen the kind of shit the US is doing to the Middle East? seriously.. im not defending Al Qaeda but this is ridiculous, America IS NOT perfect.

Lol Lakers have had trouble with P&R for years, especially P-Jax. Plus, the mavs arent just playing the P&R, they are spreading the floor, putting the lakers on their heels, the transition game is also in our favor.

<3 Mavs. that's all i gotta say. Lets take two more down here and call it a series! MFFFFFFL

Dirk is hitting some crazy ass shots, decent half, but we need to make the tempo a little faster and secure our REBOUNDS!!

The Mavs def can, I don't get how the experts are writing us off? I mean, I like playing th under dog role in the series, it makes expectations less for the mavs.

I'm confident we can beat the Lakers this series, rallying from 16 down shows something of this team.

DOWN SEVENTEEN, UP 1-0. [expletive] YEA. WOW. FINALLY dirk got a call at the end.

FINALLY Brewer gets a shot, he's been active on the ball, getting some huge plays. 17 pt lead to 3

LETS GO MAVS.

No.. lol, Dirk has been doing this for the last decade.. he is the best PF in the NBA. Z-Bo is great, but he is not the best.

Game 6, 2005 East Finals.. Wade sat out, Miami lost by 25+. just saying.

Horrible call, Pierce could have said something, but how do you call a tech for just setting a pick?

Lol. I'm stoked for this series.. no home court.. but the LA crowd isn't nearly as loud as Portland, which was incredibly hostile for the Mavs. I'm thinking we can steal at least one game in L.A.

always been ballorama..

Duncan is 35 years old, struggling to play a good 35+ minute game. They have a solid group of young bench players, but other than that Manu is on the down run as well.. as far as title dreams. they are done. But I won't count them out of anything as long as Pop is their coach..

Rick Carlisle has done a great job, in 2009 we barely won 50 games, our leading scorers were Dirk and Terry, nobody else was an option. We made it to the second round as a sixth seed. Carlisle isn't the issue, it's the fact that besides Dirk, we don't have ANY inside scoring, you cannot go into the playoffs and expect to win with low points in the paint numbers. One thing we MUST address this offseason is, a quality low post option, and a good solid backup PG. But this season is NOT over yet, aside from that game 4 collapse, we've played well this series, Dirk isn't doing great but our bench is stepping up. In game 5 when you see Chandler not in foul trouble, he was incredibly effective. And regarding Butler, the further we go, the more likely he returns, he is already in practice apparently, you might see him if we make it to the second round.

I think it's a playoff beard, the entire Magic squad are doing it I thinkj.

finally up 2-0 in a series, good stuff mavs.. hopefully we can take the games in Portland.

Carmelo.. wow.. crazy shots. Lovin the effort of the Knicks, hope they pull it out

Aside from the game, Dick Stockton is probably the WORST play by play commentator I've heard on national TV.. jesssssssssusss he's bad. Pacers should be tied, or up 2-0.. I have a feeling this is gonna go 7..

I think we can get these games at home, we need to come out aggressive, especially Dirk. Jet can't be off like he's been recently, he's a sixth man for a reason, as our energizer on offense.

Kobe.. What...... you've been missing, and you wanna make one now.

YES YES YES COME ON KINGS WIN IT FOR SACRAMENTO! Kings up 3.. can they close it??

- The Blazers will defeat whoever they play (hopefully LA!) - Heat will reach the NBA Finals

In the east, definitely not.. i dont see any of those matchups really appealing, in the west you can get upsets from Memphis, Denver, Portland for sure. Portland can beat LA/Dallas for sure, and Memphis will give whoever they play a run for their money.
