The Mavs have lost a total of 3 playoffs games. Unreal.

I'm a little worried. We could not stop Harden or Westbrook. Theres no way we will stop Lebron or Wade. I don't care if we beat them during the regular season. They showed that doesn't matter against the Celtics.
But oh well. They got to start watching video and finding ways to stop them two.

The Blazers in Portland will be slaughtered.
Then we will overrun the Lakers and force their "Mamba" to bow to Nowitzki.
And then the Oklahoma City God will fall and finally the Miami God will be cast down and forgotten.

Perhaps enjoying tonight is the wise path.

By the way, super underrated play. On the possession before Dirk hit the three, he got a HUGE steal in what would have otherwise been a layup for Collison.

This was one of those games where you prepare yourself for disappointment halfway through the 4th quarter. And then, almost out of nowhere, our veterans show up again and put on a great show to win the game. The final two minutes were just too much fun to watch. Just great.
This isn't the same Mavs team we've seen in previous years. Can't wait for the finals.

These Mavs remind me a bit of the 2006 Indianapolis Colts, or even 2009 New Orleans Saints... There IS such a thing as destiny. Dirk will not be stopped!

I'm more worried about Bosh. Lebron and Wade are going to get there's. Bosh whoever we throw at him is going to have to play some great defense. I do think we match up better with the Heat.
Barea won't get abused when he is on the floor, especially with Kidd because Kidd will have to check Wade. He shown he can check Durant to an extent so I'm fine with that. Barea will guard whatever PG. None of them scare me so that's a huge plus. Shutting down Bosh is going to be the biggest key defensively can't stress it enough.

I would start Tyson on Bosh and Dirk on Anthony. But when Haywood is in, he's not mobile enough for Bosh, so I'd put Dirk on him.
Also, Haslem is back...I hope they don't let him get away with 06' "defense".

Very good point. And actually, although I may remember you and perhaps another poster or two questioning the coach's decision to roll out the small lineup, I thought Dirk did a fantastic job at center in that lineup. Suddenly he was rebounding everything...among other things.

Harden had JJB or Jet on him pretty much the whole game, and Westbrook was mediocre at best.

Dallas Mavericks Western Conference Champions. All year long people and fans have been doubting this team. Never giving them the respect they deserve. They stayed humble and persevered through it all, showing the world that as long as you stay focused on your goal and you take every step into heart. You can do anything.
Very emotional win for me. I actually teared up. Learned a valuable lesson from this team's odyssey to the finals.
Congratulations my boys in blue. You all deserve it.

If that's supposed to be a criticism, it misses the mark. I've got nothing but appreciation for a guy who tries to maintain an active relationship with the fanbase at games.

I'm happy for Peja and the rest of the veteran first timers. Soak it in now, but come Game 1.......be ready to take it to another level.
But they def can't be getting down like Game 4 & 5 and make comebacks. The basketball gods won't be so kind in the Finals.

He did as best as we can expect...but Dirk simply can't contest shots like Tyson or Wood can. Moreover, the bigger issue was that Marion was on the bench when dribble penetration was KILLING us. That's exactly what he prevents. It was mind boggling. After Marion came back in at the 4 minute mark, that's when we took over.
OKC stayed small after Matrix came back and it cost them.

Tyson had fouled out and Haywood's defense was absolutley attrocious all night letting Harden slip past him for lay up after lay up

so proud of our guys
concerning, though, is the "open all night" sign we have hanging from the paint
Westbrook had it easy... Lebron and Wade are next.
we better figure something out

What's with the matching team backpacks from Harden and Durant? Seriously what's going on over there?
