The Mavs really need to come out fast today. If they get in a hole early, it will be deeper than normal because of the strain to get out. I sure hope Dirk and Nash can find their stroke and that Raef and FINLEY have another awesome game. Finley has been slowly heating up lately and was just on fire last game. I think he is peaking at the right time. We need Dirk or Nash to pick it up too. NVE needs to be hot and lets stay out of foul trouble. What did I miss?

predictions?

not me....other than a Mavs victory.

I don't care who it is but 2 of the big 3 must be on. With the 3rd being quietly effective, whether it be assisting, rebounding or just holding their own on defense.

I can only hope Raef can play like he did in game 3 and either NVE or Buckner pick up the slack wherever it is.

The key is that we come out gunning and not let the Kings open up a 10-15 point lead after 1.

And please...just keep Bibby in check.

That was kinda a neat segment on Nash.

Fin definitely will be awesome, again. Look for Kings put much more pressure on him in this game, and that will create opportunities for teammates.

Dirk looking much more aggressive, struggling with his fisrt 2 shots though.

Just missed his 3rd.

The Mavs look much better to start this game.

And Raef is on freaking fire. Run with it man, run with it.

Wow...is everyone from this board at the game or something?

Awesome start by the Mavs...Raef is awesome since he was heavily criticized.

Raef with the 3!!!

All we need is Dirk to catch fire and we will be very good shape.

Dirk backrimmed a coupler of shots but I see more fire from him than I did all 44 minutes from game 3...

Raef is smokin' right now...

Good point...he is going strong to the hoop. It's just a matter of time until his shots start falling. I would like to see some posterization over Divac...doesn't matter who from.

The Mavs look much more crisp...there's a fire in them right now.

I think they understand that they let one get away.

Fin with the layup.

Bibby is a punk. I could use a different word, but I'll be nice for now...

Nash with the sweet lay up...

AND THE 3!!!

Can we not get a foul call?

What do we have to do?

I love seeing Divac miss a point blank layup like that.

Bibby continues to kill us.

Dirk...snap out of it buddy! 0-6 aint going to do it.

I'm hoping the time out (plus a strong talking to from Nellie/Nash, whoever) will help him get out of his little slump.

How many ally-oops has Bibby had to Webber after a Mav miss?

Even though they've missed some layups, I'd like to see them continue to attack.

Finally! Dirk with the layup.

My thoughts exactly.

Wish it would have been larger with the start we had. Not the finish I was looking for, but your right, we'll take it.

Let's get rolling Mavs to start the 2nd quarter.
