Official GDT: GS @ Dallas Series 1 Game 5
[chanting]Mavericks! Mavericks! HELP US GOD![/chanting]
Team Report: Getting Inside
Quote:
The Mavericks may have the MVP in Dirk Nowitzki. What they've been searching for is a voice. "That's one thing we have been missing," Josh Howard said. "Not to take anything away from Dirk, it's just like nobody's really been saying much."
They had better speak up soon. The Mavs leave the Bay Area for Dallas trailing 3-1, and unless they run off a three-game winning streak, they'll go down as the first No. 1 seed ever to lose to an eighth seed in a best-of-seven series.
"If there's a team that can come back and win three in row," Warriors coach Don Nelson said, "that's the team that can do it."
REPLAY: The ever-resilient Warriors swallowed the defending Western Conference champions in an avalanche of sound and fourth-quarter three-pointers Sunday night at Oracle Arena. The 103-99 victory moved Golden State to within one win of the conference semifinals with three games to do it in.
Visions of a championship for Dallas have been replaced by a dead-eye focus on Game 5, the first true must-win for the Mavs since Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
They lost that one, putting the finishing touches on a four-game collapse to Miami. Losing to a team that needed to win on the last game of the regular season just to get into the playoffs may be more painful.
The Mavs wanted to treat Sunday as a Game 7 and they played as if their season hung in the balance for long stretches. But the Warriors had flashes throughout that swung momentum that ultimately proved the difference.
Dallas held leads of nine points in each of the first three quarters. At the end of the second and third, Baron Davis (33 points) hit shots, including a half-court buzzer-beater, to tie the game. Golden State overcame an 88-81 deficit with seven minutes left.

Mavericks should look to crush the Warriors and really break their spirits for the ever crucial game 6. Pressure's on, time to show the world this team has the fight of a champion within them! Mavericks win 108-92

We're definitely not expecting a win in Dallas. You guys didn't just stumble upon 70 wins. However, game 6 is going to be even harder for the mavs to take.

I'm pretty confident the Mavs win this one, it'll be another close one though. Mavs by 7, as Dirk finally scores 30+

one win at a time boys.
all it takes in these playoffs is one win and you start getting your mojo back.
one possession at a time, one quarter at a time, one half at a time. if you always stay in the moment, you will be happy with the end result. that's been our philosophy all year. lets get back to what works.

We really need the home crowd to rock the house and instill the confidence in the team that is needed to turn the series around.
Go Mavs!!!
and NO EASY LAYUPS in our house!

All right, I'm taking the positive slant on this.... and I start with a question....
... HOW DID THE FIRST FOUR GAMES OF OUR REGULAR SEASON GO?
Well, here we are, ladies and gents. Game #5 of the post. MAVS, you can finally kick some ass now. We want something epic and we can count on you, Mavericks.

Mavs 107-81. Mavs have to find a way to shut down the Warriors, which means out play and out hustle. Mavs have to sake the confidence of Golden State, and have them wondering going into game 6. Mavs take this series, then go on to win the championship and Warriors become a fading memory.

The Mavs DO know how to stop Golden State, which is a huge improvement from the beginning of the series. The only problem now is that they have no room for error.

So I will simply say GO MAVS!

I think this is the pattern to keep an eye on - this happened last year when Miami beat the Mavs on home court for the championship.. If we have a 10 pt lead with 5 minutes to go...watch Avery take out Devin Harris and put Terry back in to slow the game down. That move alone will be the end of our season...Terry hanging on to the ball until the shot clock reaches 6 seconds...with everybody standing around waiting for the ball...
