Dallas does it again and wins game 5 to lead the series 3-2.
The Mavs have done an awesome job since the first two games and Houston is struggling. Here's hoping we can pull off another one in game 6 on Thursday and close this series out.

Go 3-0 at Houston(in playoffs)!!!!
They were spreading around the glory. Six players in double figures. Dirk with a double-double with 13 rebounds. Mav advantage in turnovers, rebounds, 3-points and the scoreboard!
Even though it prolly wouldnt have changed the outcome...dallas got away with a huge mistake when that maverick stole the ball from out of bounds.
Dallas in 6???? I think so.
I think most Rocket fans would disagree! Houston did miss 8-16 free throws in the 4th quarter. That really hurt, but the biggest play was at the end of the first half. Mutombo is clearly fouled, but the ref calls jump ball. Dallas wins the tip and make a 3 point shot. That is a possible 6 point turn around!Originally posted by wildstangs

Welcome to the Pasture of Pain.
i didnt think there was a foul at all, that was one of the best calls in a, in my opinion, very poorly officiated game......Originally posted by Bull's-eye

you can thank van gundy for that though.....
yao needs to not miss 5 free throws in the 4th quarter....not that it was just his fault but he had the most obvious issues at the free throw line....
I flipped to the local Houston channel. They showed a replay that shows the defender grabbing Mutombo's arm. They also showed a clip of several plays where Yao is getting fouled, but no calls. On the last play, McGrady had his foot on the line. T-Mac didn't see a wide open Wesley, who was on the left wing.
Welcome to the Pasture of Pain.
I'm not even going to whatch game 6, I get so pissed about the officiating. I really wish Yao would just start throwing ELBOWS! Hell he is gonna get called for the foul anyway. It's damn PAST ridiculous!
While I agree that the refs missed CRUCIAL calls that could have, at least, tied the game; The Rockets put themselves in this position. Yao missed the free throws and let Dallas get WAYYYY too many offensive rebounds. I told my friend today that whoever wins tonights game wins the series. I hope I'm not right.
As bad as the Rockets are playing and it seems most of the calls are going to Dallas the Rockets are still keeping these games close.If I were Dallas I would be thankful at this point.It's time for Houston to have a good game and that means a win.Here's hopeing for a game seven.
What do you mean? I mean his foot was only 2 feet out of bounds when he stole the ball late in the game. Then Dallas got fouled in the process of going for the loose ball. A possible 4 point swing that late in the game is unacceptable. Those officials were terrible.Originally posted by wildstangs

The Spurs/Nuggets game last night might've actually been worse. Tim Duncan gets called for his 6th foul in OT when Carmelo Anthony just falls down on his own while driving to the hoop. Fortunately it didn't affect the outcome. I think the 2 teams combined to shoot about 1,000 foul shots. The third quarter in particular was basically unwatchable.Originally posted by JasperDog94
