Dallas/San Antonio - game 7

[Kings113]

Mavs seemingly going to get this, not counting off Spurs yet though.

 

[Bricklayer]

Well clearly Pop will have to be fired for losing the big games.

Oh..er...wait...or it Avery that will have to be fired for playing small ball?

Or...

 

[piksi]

It is Finley's fault

 

[DocHolliday]

Not even the refs could stop the Mavs tonight. Awesome.

 

[Gargamel]

Bring on Cuban! Interview "The Man"!

 

[DocHolliday]

The funny thing is I still forsee Cuban getting fined for talking about the refs after this game. lol

 

[Variant]

Spurs expended a lot of energy making that comeback. They just didn't have anything left in OT.

Nice job by the Mavs to hold on...

 

[piksi]

either will do

 

[Viking]

It is Finley's fault

I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at a simple statement in my life.

 

[piksi]

Go Clippers !!!

 

[atxrocker]

im glad balky and crew are out. i dont have to hear those obnoxious san antonio fans anymore for the season. now come on clips. i hope dallas loses the next series

 

[Sirius]

So much for the defending champion. Tim Duncan showed great sportsmanship, going up and hugging the little general!

Well, I was pulling for the Spurs to win, but at least Finley and NVE won't get rings

 

[Variant]

Mavs will steamroll either the Suns or the Clips. I'll be rooting against them though.

 

[Viking]

I was trying to think of why I wanted the Spurs to lose and now I've figured it out! Thanks!

 

[atxrocker]

this was a great, great series. duncan played very well. now i can go back to hating the mavs and dirk and root against them.

 

[QueensFan]

Ratboy will still be representing Argentina in the WCs.

Good think i won't be watching.

 

[DocHolliday]

this was a great, great series. duncan played very well. now i can go back to hating the mavs and dirk and root against them.

I'm still rooting for the mavs. I want them in the finals. They have the best chance against Detroit or Miami.

I think a Mavs, Detroit series would be one for the ages.

 

[Suckeet]

What a great game! Finally, some new blood in the finals!

 

[Sac.Kings]

What a great game! Finally, some new blood in the finals!

Seriously, I was getting sick of seeing Spurs and Detroit all the time in the Finals.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Seriously, I was getting sick of seeing Spurs and Detroit all the time in the Finals.

No other teams in the league are good enough or consistent enough to form a championship rivalry. Rivalry >>>> new blood.

I didn't want to San Antonio to win so much as I wanted Dallas to not win, but...

:: shrugs ::

**** it; they've paid their dues...

Dallas will would play a better series against Detroit, than San Antonion would. Detroit is an athletic, defensive team, with a potent offensive attack. Just like the mavs. San Antonio has a decent offensive attack with a strong defense, and they aren't as athletic.

You say that like I should consider it a good thing... I *want* Detroit to win.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

go mavs!

 

[Sirius]

By the way, the Spurs losing is a good thing if you're a fan of their coaching staff, since this means PJ can be interviewed now.

 

[mavsman]

I am at a complete loss for words. I've been a fan back when we had Ro Blackman, Derek Harper. I thought we could do it tonight but I was having that mentality of "expect the worst, hope for the best." I was there with the bad times - Hell I thought Cherokee Parks was THE ANSWER for our woes in the 90's!

This win right here is the greatest win in Mavs history - words cannot explain how I feel right now so I'm going to stop writing and just keep celebrating.

I'll leave with this: if it's true that championship teams rise up and overcome the road atmosphere, a great basketball team, and the HORRIBLE and absurd calls the refs made tonight (I haven't even dug up the stats yet on FTA's and Fouls called) - then this team is really getting my hopes up.

Cheers to ONE OF THE BEST 7 GAME SERIES IN HISTORY!

 

[T[MaC]]

MUAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[DocHolliday]

I wouldn't mind seeing Detroit lose IF they make it to the finals against the Mavs. I like the underdog. The Mavs are playing a great brand of basketball. I don't have a thing against the Mavs like a lot of Kings fans.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I don't have a "thing" against the Mavericks... I have a "thing" *for* the Pistons.

I am anti-Cuban, but if (and *only* if) Miami advances to the Finals, I will root for Dallas, as my contempt for Shaq supersedes my contempt for Cuban.

And calling a sixty-win team "the underdog" is flat-out spin doctoring.

 

[mavsman]

How can you not call the Mavs underdogs against a fantastic Spurs team and a near 70-win team in Detroit?
