Dabien doesn't understand these things. He's only a boy and he has serious doubts about his masculinity.

i don't think anybody here honestly knows or believes that dirk and the mavs are going to run over the Warriors. We just talk like this to feel better and feel confident about our team. We all know it's going to be very difficult to beat them and beat them in Oakland. Winning isn't everything. Both the Mavs and the Warriors have spent many many years at the bottom of the league. We know how it is to lose. Just be happy that the Warriors aren't the crappy team that they used to be. If the Mavs lose, I will still support them until the end of days because I'm a true fan. are you a true fan of the Warriors or just jumped on their wagon when they started winning? Either way, you should be very proud of what the Warriors have accomplished this year if they win or lose. Like Flaco said, try to have some class and let's just be fans of the game of basketball

I'll admit that I "hopped" on the Warrior bandwagon after the 8-player trade. I was rooting for the Warriors to edge out the 8th spot because I knew it would be a good first round matchup against the Mavs.

I'm actually a die hard Rockets fan and our series (rockets-jazz) has been difficult to say the least. May the better team (hopefully the Rockets) win and close it out tonight in Utah.

I respect the Mavs a great deal and they've proven that they can play defense now which makes them an elite team.

That said, I think the Warriors are good enough to give the rest of the Western conference fits (barring maybe Spurs) if they advance. But it is definitely interesting and entertaining to see a darkhorse give the Mavs fits and put them on the ropes.

We'll see what happens tonight (in both series)

purplefrog · 05-03-2007, 02:58 PM

I am confident of a Mavs win. That's all. I don't know if it will be a large or small margin of victory. It most certainly won't be without considerable effort.

Go Mavs!

TXS · 05-03-2007, 03:00 PM

I am confident of a Mavs win also, they have gotten better in the last two games, tonight they continue to build on that.

---go mavs

alexamenos · 05-03-2007, 03:01 PM

julius put his vcash on the mavs.

indisputably, this is a good sign.

well, see, talking like this is so much better! sorry I just don't see the point of going to another teams message board to say how bad they suck and how good their team is. I'm always up to having conversations with other teams fans, even if we differ on opinions. The keyword is having intelligent conversations though.

anywho, I agree that I think the Warriors are good enough to give the rest of the West some fits. They've definately taken it to the mavs, that's for sure. That trade was awesome for the Warriors and it turned there team around to be a top contender. They are definately not a typical 8th seeded team, as I bet they would be 4th seeded if the trade happened befor the season.

Well for the record, I have never posted anything on here saying the Mavericks suck. All of my posts have been intended to give credit to the Warriors where it's due in their success thus far in the series.

Other than those two...it should be a great one.

I think Dan Crawford had already officiated a game in this series, so he won't be eligible. I'd take Javie though.

Dirkadirkastan · 05-03-2007, 03:37 PM

Javie's the one that rewarded Wade with FTs for punching Dirk in the chest with 26 seconds to go in Game 6, correct?

I thought Danny Crawford got kicked out the NBA for tossing Duncan against the Mavs? Do I have the wrong guy?

Going to sleep for a while - see you later when game starts

Male30Dan · 05-03-2007, 03:53 PM

Dirk has got to be "last 3 minutes" Dirk all game long. I don't mean wild threes, but he has to demand the ball and make shit happen! Oh I want this to come back to Dallas and I am going to try damn hard to be in that arena if we can.

I haven't always had the most confidence in this team against GS because I know how terrible the match up is, but damn it last game lit a fire... We were eliminated and then the next minute we were back in the series...

Dominate Mavs... Dominate and don't look back this time!

GET BACK TO DALLAS FOR GAME 7!!!

big_pth · 05-03-2007, 04:25 PM

they are saying that there will be NO suspension for Richardson...

NEW YORK, May 3, 2007 – Golden State’s Jason Richardson has been fined $35,000 for improper interaction with a fan, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President Basketball Operations.
The incident occurred with 21.9 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 118-112 loss to Dallas in Game 5 of the First Round of the Western Conference Playoffs on Tuesday at American Airlines Center.

pkdumas · 05-03-2007, 04:51 PM

If anyone is going to game 7 and Jason Richardson lands in your lap, punch him in the face for me.

samurai30 · 05-03-2007, 04:53 PM

I've been a warrior fan for a long long time. Just getting into the playoffs and seeing an exciting one at best is a treat for the diehard warrior fans. If the warriors lose this series, many of the bandwagon fans and trolls will jump ship. I am a fan of the mavs too, and if they beat the warriors, I hope they again reach the finals with more success then last. This is an incredible series..especially a 1st rounder. The best series by far compared to any other this year. 1 seed vs 8th seed..who cares really...its two teams that are good and want to compete. Just look in the east..all those pansy teams...we are lucky to see this incredible action. Good luck to you guys....and whoever wins...it will be well deserved.

You are a tro---Wait, I only read that first part...Decent post...I wish I would wish the Warriors luck, but to be honest, I still haven't forgiven Nellie for blowing the mavs up in the late 1990's and turning my team into a revolving door for about 4 seasons...I suspect it may be the same way in Oakland...

But Nellie did help eventually turn it around and developed the players you have now. My fav player on the mavs is Josh Howard. Not only because he's so talented..but he's very humble also. Especially in his interviews. Very down to earth guy..with lots of game. From what I've seen so far in this series....that guy is $$ from 10-15 feet out. And he has quick hands..made jrich look like a fool at times. If he gets that 3 point stroke going....he'll be unstoppable, because he can do everything else. This is going to be crazy @ss game tonight. Damn..4 and 1/2 hours left...can't wait..

No arena is "loud all the time". Fans are upset if their team is down big and theyre not gonna stand up and yell and make noise when theyre upset.

You're on a Mavericks message board. Seriously, what the hell did you expect?

BGMaverick9 · 05-03-2007, 05:20 PM

since i was corrected, here you go

I expect more of the trap game on Davis tonight, BUT the rotations have to be quick, no open 3s.

Matt Barnes is a game-time decision with his hammy, I believe.

ESPN had a decent point, IF Devin is out there 30 plus minutes and is one of the 3 or 4 best players for the game, Dallas has a very good chance of winning. That means he's not making mistakes, being aggressive and not in foul trouble.

Apparently 30 points, 12 boards, and a game changing block is a pretty average game. Ric Bucher said that Dirk just can't have another average game like he did in Game 5 for Dallas to win....HELLO????

Get the win, Dallas

does the lack of respect towards dirk really suprise you? it pisses me off but i've come to expect it.

as far as Matt Barnes goes...he is the biggest scrub I've ever seen. Could he be more trash? He's fitting on the Warriors but I cringe just looking at him. He's hit many huge shots though in this series, as has everybody there. If he doesn't play, it will be interesting to see how this affects the Warriors. My guess is that he plays though.

I agree. It will be intertesting to see when and how often Avery will go to the double on Davis. I say go with it as long as they are missing the 3's.

BGMaverick9 · 05-03-2007, 05:27 PM

it still boggles my mind a little bit, yes.

I'll be very surprised if Barnes doesn't play, but if he doesn't that does effect them fairly. They'll have to depend on people who really haven't done much in the series. Hopefully someone like Al Harrington doesn't decide to show up tonight.

ya, without bearded one running the offense, they seem to fall apart a little bit. I mean they still hit amazing shots but when we doubled him last game, it really seemed to put a thorn into the Warriors. obviously we can't double all the time because they'll just run a pick and roll or pick and pop or something but doing it throughout the game should help.

capitalcity · 05-03-2007, 05:29 PM

Baron Davis can suck it.

Matt Barnes will definitely play tonight. Honestly...most warrior fans, either hate or love matt barnes. Sure he's been playing great this series, but he makes some serious bone head plays from time to time that drive you crazy. He's playing with a tweeked hammy and a fractured finger, which shows he's a warrior. He's a scrub that has come from almost retiring to being in the spotlight....so....you kind of have to root for a guy like that. Yeah, he can be punk at times...but it's nice to see players come from the pits...to actually contributing to a team.

Avery said they're going to be throwing a bunch of different guys at Davis tonight. I expect a tight leash on some players though, like Buck and George. This really isn't a series that's working for them at all. They're providing little to nothing on offense and not doing too much on D, maybe they can roll tonight and in Game 7.

I still think Air Cro has to be the back-up to Diop tonight. Also, he needs to be as confident as he was for Game 5. Once he makes a decision, go with it all the way, but be quick and smart about it.

I think they have to be cautious with J-Ho, Diop and Devin, specifically, in terms of foul trouble. They need to be out there as much as possible tonight. Everyone obviously needs to avoid fouls, but those 3 specifically.

yes sir. also the one who officiated game 7 in San Antone last year...

He doesn't give a damn about the home team. In fact, he's such a dick that I believe he calls games in favor of road teams.

very good points. at least if we are going to use george or buck, they need to use good hard fouls.

air cro was huge in game 5. that guy has so much enthusiasm. he gave a big lift to the mavs, as he has done several times in the past.

obviously, foul trouble is huge, especially for those 3 you mentioned. Devin is the man in this series when he wants to be. He can drive the lane at will when he wants to and when he is not in foul trouble. Diop has been a beat on defense and had a good offensive game in game 5. obviously, we'd like to see Jho show up in the 2nd half. he's kicking ass in the first half though.

BGMaverick9 · 05-03-2007, 05:43 PM

There is an APB on Jet as well, he better be on the friggen runway tonight. He's been able to coast for 5 games, so he better have been saving it for these last 2.

If both Jet and Devin are in the game, Devin BETTER be the one starting the offense.

StackAttack · 05-03-2007, 05:51 PM

I don't feel great going into this one, but if we do win tonight, no way we lose Game 7.

Get 'er done.
