Mavs vs. OKC

[exlude]

Mavs in 6. Five if they steal one that they shouldn't win.

Yep, I'm on track too.

You know, on a purely statistical level, you gave yourself a 50/50 chance of being right or wrong...way to go.

Mavs in 5...possibly 6.

Yep, I'm on track too.

I don't usually quote myself, but i'm starting to look really smart.

I have said in 5 a couple times on here lol. We will see if I was right come tomorrow. I am sure Dallas will win it. And I say Dallas in 6 for the finals.

I don't think Steve is a Laker fan? I may be wrong though...

I'm a Lakers and a Mav's fan. It was alot of fun to watch them play eachother.

According to his rants, he was born and raised in east L.A., what other team is there to root for in L.A, the Clippers? And the way hes sucking Kobes cock in this thread, hes a Fakers fan. Good for him, we finally got our revenge and we did it in sweeping fashion too...

I was born in West L.A, get it right. You mexicans have Born In East L.A on the brain. LMAO.

Interesting stat I just heard on ESPN radio...in the last 10 years, there have been 4,970 games where a team was down by 15 with 5 mins left to go in the game. The Mavs are the only team out of those to win.

yeah, just saw on sports center that the mavs had a .07% chance to win the game last night when they were down 15 with 5 mins left. That is insane!

Where are all the flakes that were screaming to "trade Dirk away"?

Hey, I admit that I was one of the people saying that we should blow up the team especially after last season. It was the same old thing over and over and I didn't see it changing. I didn't have much faith at the begining of the season when there weren't any significant changes made. The team was old and getting older and while I would never want to see Dirk leave I thought we needed to bring in some young talent to prepare for another stretch of 50+ win seasons. That being said, I am a Mavs fan and only a Mavs fan. I am at 15+ games a season every season and have had at least a partial season ticket package since '04.

Dirk absolutely proved me wrong this season. He has taken to another level that I didn't know existed. He has taken his game from elite to untouchable! I only hope that he can continue this throughout the playoffs and into the future. I really think that him taking the off season "off" has really helped him finish strong and further develop his game. He is no question the MVP of the playoffs!

[mustang_marc]

Please understand that I know Dirk is great. I also remember a lot of these same guys calling Dirk a "choker" not too long ago. Fairweathered? Maybe. I don't EVER recall Bird choking in a big game/series, or anyone accusing him of that.

You NEVER heard it because Bird had 3 titles.

E-X-A-C-T-L-Y. Most of that was from the old board, but there was definitely some of that.

[Rafa]

Darantula - turnovers aren't what won that ball game. Dallas turned it over a fuck ton too. Harden fouling out, and Westbrook's bad decisions lost that game, its as simple as that. It's difficult being right ALL the fucking time you know.... I need to surf around and find What Durant had to say post game.

It was a huge part of it. You can't turn the ball over 26 times in a playoff game. If you look at those numbers out of context of the game you'd probably assume Dallas wins by 20+. Yeah, Harden fouling out and Westbrook's bad decision making were huge too but they could have overcame those if they weren't turning the ball over every other possession.

Durant's press conference was just sad. Dude was legitimately depressed about the loss. I've never seen him act like that in a press conference.

HOLY FUCK!!!

I just got home from OKC... that shit was so insane! It is indescribable how loud it was in that place last night! They have a pretty cool thing going with all of the "chants" and they were playing some bad ass music. I love the AC/DC going into the loud ass "thunder" chant. It was impressive. I couldn't believe how poorly the Mavs were playing but they were right there until the end. My wife got pissed and said I will meet you in the hallway and all the Thunder fans around me were patting me on the back saying they had to defend their house and now its a series and thanks for coming out... then the Mavs woke up and put on a fucking clinic. Before OT started I tried talking to the fans around me and they wouldn't even look at me! LOL

It was EPIC and I am so glad that I got to be there to see it. Look at what the Mavs have accomlished already this playoffs... blew a 24 point lead against a Portland team that everyone picked to win to still win the series... swept a defending champion Lakers team who everyone picked to win... held their own against a younger thunder team and hung around and found ways to win. Amazing!

Dirk has reached another level and has proven that he is one of the best and can lead a team. Hell yes I can't wait until tomorrow! The time is now!
