We are the crowd
We're c-coming out
Got my flash on, it's true
Need that picture of you
It's so magical
We'd be so fantastical
Leather and jeans
Garage glamorous
Not sure what it means
But this photo of us
It don't have a price
Ready for those flashing lights
'Cause you know that baby I
I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby, there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
I'll be your girl backstage at your show
Velvet ropes and guitars
Yeah 'cause you're my rock star in between the sets
Eyeliner and cigarettes
Shadow is burnt
Yellow dance and we turn
My lashes are dry
Purple teardrops I cry, it don't have a price
Loving you is cherry pie
'Cause you know that baby I
I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby, there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Real good
We dance in the studio
Snap snap to that shit on the radio
Don't stop for anyone
We're plastic but we still have fun!
I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby, there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi

ps She loves it all the while she is giving a hand signal to cut it. Enough.

[LukaMagic]

[ShaggyDirk]

Don't know about all this doom and gloom talk, but I'm headed to the game tonight. Let's close these chumps out!

The latter lol and you may be right...

While I am not as critical of the refs as many here, I do have one concern. If the Mavs win this series, there will be no California teams left in the playoffs, and since that is our most populous state, it could be bad for TV ratings. Already, superstars like LeBron, the Splash Brothers and Giannis are on the boat fishing. If the Mavs win, 4 more future hall of famers in George, Hardin, K Leonard and Westbrook will join them there.

I am still 100% sure the NBA stole the Mavs first championship because of anti-Mavs bias by putting D Wade on the charity stripe 25 times per game. I sure hope they don't do it to us again.

[SMC0007]

We really FN need to win tonight. I hope the team all wears black.

Bring us good luck Shaggy, or dont show your face 'round these part again!!

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Well we need to win tonight because game 7 is on a Sunday and we all know that means afternoon.

This is going to be an incredibly hard game to win though. They won't go down without a fight.

[EricaLubarsky]

What is better:

Winning a series at home for the first time since April 2022
or
Destroying the Clippers at home in game 7, ending a franchise like we did with the Suns?

Tonight for sure.

Get the home fans a W.
Display the ability to put teams away.
Get some rest.
Keep our blood pressure down.

[EricaLubarsky]

For all the complaining about THJ on this board, he?s not a net negative this series

[LukaMagic]

Seems like a good start by Luka. Poor pass out to PJ for a three. Had a layup. But I mean, still good.

[LukaMagic]

Kyrie missed an open three pointer. Too much to ask for him to start hot. Way, way too much.

[Dallas41]

Looks like Luka is going to attack the rim again tonight which is good for his efficiency

And Gafford looks much more engaged for the 2nd straight outing

But I knew he would settle down eventually

[LukaMagic]

Gafford two weird fouls early on. On Zubac.

[LukaMagic]

Great energy with Mavs. Great start.

I'm with you

I never understood all the fuss about the refs this series

They have mostly allowed both teams to play physical defense and I prefer that style as opposed to ft parade games

Neither team has shot a higher number of ft's than the other

I hope the playoffs remain this way throughout just let guys play.

I think some fans have become accustomed to the soft fouls and non contact play and that's why they worry about the lack of calls now 😂

[blessednegr0]

We need to hurt them early. Don't let off the gas.

[LukaMagic]

Commentators are so poor. They are blind. That was KLEBER OFFENSIVE REBOUND. But they haven't even noticed it. They just noticed Green's "hustle." They talk so much and then they don't notice important things.

[LukaMagic]

Great 1st quarter. 34 points. W/ Boban in the house.

[LukaMagic]

Kyrie w 0 points and 1 assist.

[Melonhead]

Broken rib???

Fuck that looked bad

[LukaMagic]

Commentators are not very smart at all. They just talked about "short roll." That is a very, very stupid name for what they are describing. That is NOT A ROLL AT ALL. And that is not a position in which one rolls. One rolls after a pick. And that is not after-a-pick situation. They are not at all smart.

[LukaMagic]

Irving finally scores. So now he can get himself going offensively. Finally.

In most games he needs something like that to happen to him so that he can get going. Like he has no good self-initiative. Like he needs something to happen and then he can get going.

But he's great defensively. Seems to be taking care of Harden well.

[LukaMagic]

"That makes them happy, and it's not even for free food."

Commentator's words after Harden's missed free throw. Sums up very well much of what's wrong with America.

[Melonhead]

Luka is the reason it?s not a blow out. So many lazy shots

[LukaMagic]

There was Luka giving Irving space to get himself going. But Irving can't. Can't find his shot. Can't find his drive. No midrange.

[LukaMagic]

And look at these guys. They are all melon heads. Not watching a game. They have shit delivered to their phones and THAT'S what they'll be talking about. They don't even WATCH THE GAMES.

[LukaMagic]

Kleber is a big loss. Defensively in particular. But offensively too.

[JTmoney2424]

Luka is playing like an idiot this quarter on both ends

[LukaMagic]

That's the problem with Gafford.

[LukaMagic]

He is good. He can dunk. Has great hands and length and even feel for the ball.

But . fundamentals . he . does . not . have .

[Melonhead]

Fucking lazy.

Lazy passes, making 0 effort to stay in front of anyone on defense, and the constant jacking up 3s when he hasn?t hit a single one all game. It seems like the fact that he?s so annoyed he can?t make a 3 is hurting the rest of his game tonight.
