Game 3 winner take it all. Either Mavs in 5 or Spurs in 6.

I root for Mavs.

[Farmersfan]

How could anyone watch that mess last night and still think the Mavs might win a title. I had hoped this team was different but once again they proved that they are basically the same team that has blown it in the playoffs for basically a decade now. I think they might get past the Spurs again but that's as far as expect them to go.

Spurs in 5

I'm a Spurs fan and would love to see them win, but for the first time ever I feel like the Mavs are clearly the better team. Dallas came out flat last night and was still within striking distance in the fourth quarter. Thank God for Timmy catching fire.

I don't expect Dirk to have too many more games like that, and I don't expect the Spurs to be able to defend him. Spurs won't lay down, and they're fighters, but Timmy is too old to anchor that defense like he used to.

I thought the Spurs slightly were better in 2006. I feel like the Mavs are significantly better now. Mavs in six.

Your one of those self hating fans arent u? You look back and reshape things to when your team does not win it was all THEY did WRONG and nothing else. Your expectations for your teams IMO is a little out there

What series besided the NBA Finals and the GS series the next year did Dallas blow?

And as far as this year..It is not like the Mavs are the #2 seed 15 games better than everyone below them.

The west 1-8 and ESPECIALLY 2-8 is tight and within a couple of games. There are questions and strengths about every team and anyone of them can beat the other. It is not like Dallas came into the season as a clear cut #2 team in the west expected to breeze to the conference finals

[SintonFan]

Spurs in 7(no make that 6)!!!!

Congrats man. I'm a little jealous though.

I was hoping I'd get lucky and a friend and I would be invited to one of the suites but no luck. He regularly gets to go to these games with four tickets but once the playoffs start, forget it. Only clients are invited.:D

I'll be looking for you.:thumbsup:

Manu just wanted it more last night

I think Manu is playing as well as he's ever played this year. It's great to finally have him healthy again. And the fact he's not playing for Argentina this summer is a bonus...he will actually have an off-season for a change.

:cool:

[bwdlionfan]

Manu coming back in last night with a fractured nose was something else.

He came back in and wasn't even phased by it.

I'm a Spurs fan deep down, but I feel like the winner of game 4 takes this series. If Spurs go up 3-1 it's over. If Mavs win, they take home court back in a best of 3 series.

Go Spurs Go

So PLEASE explain to me that stat then besides being biased and saying they are soft because even a soft team would have a better winning percentage then what they have when he is refereeing.

Oh and BTW every since that Lakers/Kings series (not to mention those phantom calls Wade kept getting against the Mavs a few years back) I firmly believe the NBA has a fix on the outcome of games!

Yeah, but this one makes no sense. Why on earth would the NBA want a team who generates low ratings like the Spurs to beat a team who most think can challenge the Lakers. Makes no sense at all. (unless the point is to grant the Lakers a free ride). Doubt it.

Not even a mavs fan but I know the NBA is rigged.. I hate the mavs because they have more bandwaggon fans than any other team in any professional sports league..

the facts are there. The NBA wants ratings. They know their product is boring but they can't change the format of the game because there would be too much outrage from purist. So what they do is run their league like the WWE. They promote players over teams. Storylines over games. Heck the player intros in the NBA are JUST like the WWE entrances. The players and coaches are not in on the fixes though like WWE. Instead the refs are in charge of determining the finish of the games..

You look at match ups in the first round like the Spurs and Mavs between arguably the two most boring teams in the league and how do you get national attention? You make it into an underdog story. So the Spurs are going to jump out to the lead.

How do you take a one vs an eight seed and make it worthwhile? You make the Thunder give the Lakers a run for their money.

You see record like crawford's against the mavs and the proof is in the pudding.

Wrestling and NBA have worked hand in hand for years as well.. Heck Dennis Rodman and Karl Malone "started" their feud on the basketball court to promote a WCW pay-per-view in the 90's..

Don't believe me? Ask someone who is in the know and has nothing to lose

That article sounds like a bunch of whiners. The only thing that surprised me from that article is that Shaq once made 13 of 17 free throws in a game. If I am a ref and I am trying to get Shaq's team to win, he is the last man in the arena I put on the free throw line.

that's what you would think but the refs are trying not to get caught so sometimes they might stray away from conventional wisdom

thats not true....the only time we said something was after the nba finals which was awful officiating...and i dont think the nba is as bad as it as but i still have a suspicion that most refs dont like cunabn...also i read the other day that the mavs are 1-17 when danny crawford refs a mavs playoff game...guess who refed the game last night....nowim a huge mavs fand and i hate the spurs and i really wish the spurs well andi dont think they are trying to set anything up i just think the refs had an off night...expect this one to go 7 especially if the mavs win tonight. also the main reason the avs lost was carlile coached an awful game but thatsa whole different story

What is the true measure of a "Real" fan? Is a real fan one that accepts what they consider to be less than what the team is capable of? Is a real fan one that expects more and doesn't settle? I know the answer from some of the "True" homers on this site but I would be interested in the perspective of some of the more objective posters.
Does it make a fan a bad fan if he refuses to accept that his team chokes in the playoffs or can't turn-it-up like the other teams can? The Mavs are top 3 in the NBA in overall record for the past 12 years and yet all they have to show for their efforts is a laughable finals collaspe and the single worst playoff series loss in NBA history. Oh yea, the other two out of the top 3 have 8 or 9 titles between them!!!!!

No conspiracy here. The Spurs are just plain playing better than the Mavs. I love the Mavs, but I am disappointed in them this year. I thought they actually had a chance to get to the conference finals, but again I'm disappointed. The series is all but over now. The Mavs came back against these same Spurs in a playoff series a few years ago, but I don't think they can do it again. If nothing else I'd like to see the Mavs at least push this series to 6, maybe 7 games. Show a little HEART Mavs!

I agree. They can't sustain it when they do show heart. They have to be able to get a big lead.......and HOLD it......not only hold it but build on it! It's been a problem for them all year. Once they have a lead they just stop doing what got them the lead to start with, and let the other team come back nearly every time. This seems to be a trend with the Mavs dating back several years, too.

[LE Dad]

I used to love the NBA, but the past few years the games have become unwatchable. There are very few players left that can consistently shoot, and the days of the big men battling, Ewing v Mourning; Hakeem vs Kareem/ Divoch have faded away. All that remains are a few stars here and there that are more focused on highlights than on winning.

From the Big lead:
Mike Bacsik Would Like to Congratulate All the “Dirty Mexicans” in San Antonio on the Spurs’ Victory
Former Athletes, NBA, Race TheBigLead April 26th. 2010, 7:45am

Mike Bacsik, best known as the guy who gave up (grooved?) Barry Bonds’ 756th home run, had a bit of a twitter meltdown last night as the Mavericks were losing to the Spurs. Bacsik lost it when Eduardo Najera tackled Manu Ginobili and was ejected. Bacsik tweeted “Congrats to all the dirty mexicans in San Antonio.” (Bacsik is too dumb to know this, but Najera – a player on the team he roots for – is Mexican.) A journeyman who appeared in 51 games over five seasons with four teams, Bacsik would be a complete non-entity if not for the Bonds pitch, a fledgling radio career in Texas, and the fact that his dad was a pro ballplayer.


This is from someone on the Mavs radio staff. Pretty nasty stuff and very very poor sportsmanship.:doh:

since im pretty sure this is towards me ill answer.....i as a mavs fan have always gives credit to the winning team no matter what...infact in any game i have lost or my team has lost i have given them 100% credit that thy just beat me bc thats how i was raised. No you are right about the laughable loss against golden state. Im still scratching my head over that one. The finals i give dwade full credit for getting to the free throw line and beating us but i still think the nba had a small hand in that especially since a ref admitted that the nba hates cuban and alot of times makes calls against dallas. and dallas isnot the only team that it has happened to. The spurs are a victim as welll as rasheed wallace. IMO thats whats wrong with the nBA. Now a true fan sticks up for his team no matter what. Now there is a fine line between not realizing the team isnt good. With the dirk situation this is where you are wrong. He is the greatest mav ever and a first ballot hall of famer. Now he isnt a jordan, lebron, kobe or even a dwade but he isn't the problem. And the top 3 best record and no title is kinda bad but look at the teams you are compairing the mavs to. SA and LA both if dirk was on the team he would have just as many teams. Dirk turned a laughable franchise into a very respected one. So you can continue to bash dirk and the mavs or you can sit back and enjoy this series.

Of course I'm a homer. I love the Mavs! But I like to think I have a little objectivity in my assessment of my own favorite teams. Most "homers" don't critique their own team/players like they do other teams/players. To ignore a lack of effort or intensity from your favorite is to accept mediocrity! (but I will admit I usually take good performances for granted. but that's why they play the game and make the huge money. Nobody is suppose to play to lose.)

In the words of one of our greatest philosophers, "If you ain't 1st, you're last"!

The Mavs looked like the team I thought they could be last night. They put forth a great effort. It'll definitely take that kind of effort again tomorrow night to stay alive. One game at a time, Mavs.:clap:

We have seen flashes of this team all season. They beat the Spurs 3-1 in the season series and then to go out with those 3 lame-ass efforts in the playoffs was such a huge bust. I like the fact that Dampier and lhis azy ass didn't get off the bench last night. Maybe in the next game he will at least put Blair into the 4th row if he comes out manhandling other Mavs players.
If the Mavs can maintain that kind of intensity the Spurs won't get within 10 points of them in another game. But we have all seen the Mavs can't keep it up. But I'm hopeful!

The Mavs can keep it up, but the question is......will they? They are streaky in that way. One night they can do no wrong, the next they can do no right, but for the most part it's on streaks. And, YES, they have to be PHYSICAL on both offense and defense. I don't care what it takes, STOP those drives, get into the passing lanes, and get into the faces of the outside shooters. On offense, don't settle for outside shots all the time. Drive to the hoop, push the ball and not get late into the shot clock, pass the ball crisply to the open guy, and don't turn the ball over. If they do that the Spurs cannot beat them. If they can get this next win in San Antonio, I like their chances in a game 7.:clap:

Things were soooo much better last night than the previous 3 games for Dallas. I think the Spurs had like 37 second chance points to 10 for Dallas in one of those loses. Second chance points are nothing but hussle points and giving them up is just lazy play. How many times did we see 1 Spur get a rebound while surrounded by 4 Mavs? Unacceptable! I would give Eduardo more playing time and let him beat Duncan up just like the Spurs do to Dirk. so what if he fouls out. Then it's Dampiers turn. Get very, very physical with the old man!!!! But the Mavs continue to take the physical play of the Spurs without much retaliation. (and the refs are rediculous). But I agree about game 7. The Mavs should take it if they can force one.
