Dallas-Golden State

[JR2004]

Good to see Dallas has learned from their mistakes in game one...

It's NOT a good idea to shoot jumpers playing against a team that likes to run off of all those long rebounds. They better start going to the hole pretty quickly.

[eagles_victory]

Monta Ellis is showing how good hes going to be and already is

[JR2004]

Ellis has quite a motor. He's why Jason Richardson won't be with the Warriors long-term. He's so darn fast and so darn good.

Good call.

[JR2004]

The scary thing right now for Dallas, to me at least, is Davis really hasn't done anything as of yet and they still put 30 on the board in the first quarter.

By the way does anyone on the Mavs realize that Stephen Jackson is a very capable scorer and it's not a real good idea to continually leave him wide open?

[kaorder1999]

looks like Josh Howard and the jet are playing well!

[smustangs]

its abotu to get interesting

[kepdawg]

Davis and Harris both got T'd up!

Things are getting a bit testy.

[smustangs]

not sure why davis got a t really

[kaorder1999]

go dallas

[kaorder1999]

i c didnt see him bump ne one my bad i understand y he got it then i just watched the replay after they showed davis upset

[kaorder1999]

he was trying to say he was trying to separate them but you put your hands and body on your own teammate...not the opponent...

[kaorder1999]

71-62 in 3rd...dallas up

[kepdawg]

Davis just dropped his shoulder big time and Harris gets called for the foul.

[smustangs]

GO MAVS!!!:clap: :clap: :clap:

[kaorder1999]

that was what I was thinking....he lowered his shoulder...

[smustangs]

it is getting wild

[kaorder1999]

players complain after EVERY foul....

yep just play ball do what you get paid to do

[kaorder1999]

how does Jackson not get ejected there? He claps on his way down the court and then tells them its BS....unbelievable

[smustangs]

Dallas is playing great d and GS is playing horrible O that is a great combination for the mavs

[kaorder1999]

dallas needs to stay after them and put them away and not let them stay in this...

[kaorder1999]

HOW DOES HE NOT GET A TECH THERE?

i agree and keep after davis and try to get him out

[JR2004]

Dallas should pull away and win this one handily. Not all that convinced though that the Mavs are going to win either game in Oakland with what I've seen from them thus far tonight. I still think Dallas wins this series, but I think it'll take 7 games to pull it off.

[Gobbla2001]

shoulda been t'd up for sure...

[smustangs]

haha another foul on davis and a t and hes gone WOO HOO

[kaorder1999]

LATER...i dont like him now...what an idiot

[kaorder1999]

wow...what he just did might warrant a suspension

[smustangs]

crawford anyone haha

[smustangs]

na they wont suspend him for that

[kaorder1999]

ive seen one game suspensions handed out for less....

[smustangs]

Originally posted by kaorder1999

it would be nice but i dont see em' suspending him during the playoffs for that ya it was stupid but still i dont see a suspension coming for that

[kaorder1999]

what an idiot......Someone else from the Warriors will be ejected before this game is over I bet....Probably Jackson

[smustangs]

wouldn't suprise me at this rate we still have another quarter to go

[kaorder1999]

does anyone ever think the foul called on them was warranted...Baron Davis thinks that he did nothing to warrant a tech. What a freaking idiot! Shut up Reggie....

[smustangs]

wow when it rains it poors for gs

[smustangs]

at least howard didnt flip out he knew he fouled

[kaorder1999]

you see the official tell him to stop clapping like that right beside the official and Don Nelson tells him to stop and he still refuses to stop and he doesnt understand why he was given a tech?

[smustangs]

wow 13 seconds of clapping thats ridiculous

[kaorder1999]

ya the anouncers said they reviewed and clapped for 13 seconds straight

[JR2004]

I say show up the officials and get tossed! They deserve zero respect. They lost control of this game a long time ago.

[kaorder1999]

unbelievable....i now wish failure upon Baron Davis for the rest of his career

[kaorder1999]

that was a textbook charge taken!

Don't like officials. Couldn't care less about seeing any player on any team show any of them up. They all deserve it.

[kaorder1999]

[kaorder1999]

i have a lot of respect for basketball officials...it is by far the hardest sport to officiate.

Just don't like NBA officials. They consistently ruin games. Couldn't have been happier to see Joey Crawford get sent home for the playoffs. Van Exel is still one of my all-time favorite players for when he punked Ron Garretson back in 97 in Denver.

yes Iam...I've said that here before and several other places as well. I'm fairly consistent in my view of them even when they pull crap that helps my team win...Cough, 2002 Western Finals, Cough!

[smustangs]

woo hoo barnes about to be gone too

welcome to crowd my uncle does hs football as well so who know who really cares though

[smustangs]

barnes is gone too haha

[JR2004]

I'm actually anticipating game 3. This series looks like it's finally about to get good once the series shifts to Oakland. This series had been pretty boring until about 30 minutes ago! The Mavs did a good job staying focused tonight and the Warriors went Cuban on the officials. That along with Dallas playing some great ball offensively really has done them in.

I wonder who it's going to be that'll get in a fight out in Oakland. I'm betting on Jackson and Stackhouse going at it at some point. I'd take Stack with a KO though if they went at it!

id like to see davis and diop fight i wish they would let em' go like in hockey

[kepdawg]

According to Reggie Miller emotions are always high in playoff games!

Now that's insight!

[smustangs]

dang another one is gone haha this could get real interesting

Think I was fairly clear this has to do with NBA officials. I have no respect for them. They're by far the most unprofessional officials in pro sports. I respect NFL officials (Ed Hochuli in particular), but NBA officials are nothing more than a joke and black eye to the profession.

I've yelled at high school and college officials a few times, but who hasn't done that. The most entertaining hecklers I've seen are usually when I've been at a game in a small town. Those folks take it to a whole other level with the threats they throw out there.

prolly the best one i have heard was some lady said, "hey ref get off you knees cuz your blowing this game."

Well whoever goes at it, Bob Uecker needs to be the one announcing the game. Preferrably as drunk as possible!

I think Baron could take Diop, but I don't know if he could take out Dampier. He may be soft as a basketball player, but I'd have to imagine that a country boy from Mississippi could hold his own in a fight!

[smustangs]

GS is not helping themselves one bit tonight either traveling like that there is no excuse

[JR2004]

lol...The Hardin-Jefferson student section had a pretty good chant this year for the officials down in Austin when they made some bad calls. I wish I could remember exactly what it was. It had me rollin!

[smustangs]

we had a chant for basketball in hs that was a memorial to one of our fellow posters here on the downlow who got kicked out of a game from the crowd haha

Jackson is one crazy dude. He's a taller version of Nate Robinson.

[smustangs]

that lil white dude for dallas is pretty quick

Barea? I think one of the Mavs assistants or a media member said he has the best vertical on the team.

[kepdawg]

I think the Mavs starting lineup for game 3 should be:

JET
Stack
JHo
Damp
Willis

When the official throws the ball up, they should just "drop the gloves" hockey style and go to town on Golden State!

Yep can't have Dirk out there for that. The Big German looks like he has a glass chin.

I think I'd counter that with

BD
Jackson
J Rich
Barnes
Harrington

I think Jet and Howard would go down quick, but I think Damp, Willis and Stack could fight 3 on 5 and hold their own.

[smustangs]

that would be great the ball goes up and all GS looks up at it and dallas just form tackle em' and go to town

barnes wasnt ejected. He had already fouled out and was trying to get Jackson to leave. He was just walking him out

[3afan]

hey KA - where is CHS/Athens playing? 1 game or best 2/3?

[kaorder1999]

best of three. Game one tonight in Crandall I believe
