oh and i'de like to see a dallas/miami final with dallas winning in 7.
:)

Aww man, that's too bad. I worked hard making this thread too.

All won't be lost. A mod will come along and merge them together. :) and I'll be more than happy to talk about the rest of the playoffs.


*coughmodcough*

Hahaha..never thought about that...c'mon mod MERGE MERGE!!

I agree, although a Pistons/Mavs Finals would be exciting, I see a Heat/Mavs Final coming through! Root for the Mavs tonight! <3

I hope the Mavs win, but I think the Suns are too fast for them.

Pistons/Mavs would be good, but I really wanna see a team other than the Pistons in the finals. They've been there alot lately. :p

Oh I'll be rooting for the mavs tonight, I'm gonna miss the first half though. *curses work*

I hope the Mavs win, but I think the Suns are too fast for them.
True, they are faster, but they did hold them to only 4 fast break points a few games ago. Something unheard of with this Suns team. plus 2 of the next 3 are in dallas. we'll see.....

I hope the Mavs win, but I think the Suns are too fast for them.
They may be fast, but the Mavs have a tendency to get around it. We beat them two games in a row to show we can handle the, Dirk just had an off night, and every star does that. I do believe Raja Bell played a factor - he just energizes that team.

nice. miami knocked detroit out. now hopefully dallas win win game 6 and i'll get the final i was hoping for.

speaking of dallas, dirk was ridiculous last night. :eek:

if dirk plays like that, dallas will definately win. Well dirk and another player that steps up.

Yes, Dirk had a HELL of a night. We gotta knock 'em out tomorrow or else the suns will have the momentum! I updated the stats above. =)

Mavs win :). I cant believe it. First time in their history, I remember growing up when they sucked.

This Dallas/Miami final should be a great one. It has 7 games written all over it.

GO MAVS!

Definately a GREAT win for the MAVS! They finally made it! Congratulations to them on a job well done! ^^

Glad for the Mavs, didn't know that they had wrapped it up until i looked here.

Down by 15 at half, and they come back and win it :)

And the highest they were down by was 18! I think Stackhouse did a GREAT job helping Dirk in the last stretch. =)

Finally, Stackhouse has not be playing all that great as of late. He was almost guaranteed to miss any shot he attempted.

Well said. But he stepped up when it counted. Hey all, check out the video of the Mavs returning early Sunday morning at the Love Field airport:

I'd like the Mavs to win, even though I think Mark Cuban is extremely annoying, but I think the Heat will win in 7.

At least you know he is passionate about the team, and isnt just some rich snob who just buys them cuz he can, and only cares about selling tickets. Im not saying he doesnt care about that, but he does enjoy the game too.

Mark Cuban is annoying at times. But as mbmanus says, he actually cares. I feel proud for him, now everyone can see what all his hard work and persistence has come to.

Is funny in the beginning before the Mavs were good, he was "arrogant", but now he is "confident." Im a little nervous that most analysts I have heard is picking the Mavs to win. Like its going to jinx them.

Naaa...no jinxing will be effective. They're going by the stats and the facts: The Mavs just have the momentum and the skills. I hope we can win the first two at home.

I'm interested to see how the Dampier/Diop versus Shaq will be. IMO, Damp will def. have the big role in this series, unlike in the Phoenix series where Diop was needed. What do you think?

i think cuban is great. he's an "every man"(for lack of a better term), a guy you could go out and have a beer with. he just happens to be insanely rich and own a franchise he's deeply passionate about and isnt afraid to show it.

mavs win and classic 7 game series.

I want a sweep for the Mavericks. =)
