The Mavs looked good, but those were some heartbreaking losses to lose those close games.

Meanwhile the Bulls laid an egg in Game 2. Hate to break it to you, but both the Mavs and Bulls aren't likely to win the 1st round now.

Fucking lakers, I just do not understand why Denver can never beat them

Coach Carlisle of the Mavs said they are going to take Shawn Marion off of Durant tonight and put him on Westbrook. If they really do that and Dirk is guarding Kevin, I see him droppin at least 40. Dirk cant run with him all night he'll be tired score 20 and Mav's go down 3. its not like OKC is running away with these. it came down to the last shot both times. its a really good series though. I just hope we get through this. I'm predicting a Spurs - Heat Finals though. and i'll be all in for the spurs at that point. Dont worry Texas will Keep Bron Bron from winning not 1 not 2 not 3 not 45678 championships.

I hope you're right about the Spurs. But why is Carlisle telling everyone what his gameplan for OKC's 2 stars is for tonight?

deftones86 · May 03, 2012, 09:13 PM

Really I think the Lakers are the only team that can stop them, and that's because Bynum is finally playing like baby Shaq. But for most of the teams in the Western conference they are so up and down that any of them could fall apart at any moment, that is except for the Spurs. They and the Heat are the most consistent teams in the NBA right now. But for now i'm holding out hope that Jason Terry actually plays like he can in the fourth, but the Mavs just don't have the fire power they had last year. And it doesn't matter if Carlisle says who's covering who, that can change after one time out. if Durant hits more than two consecutive shots in the first I bet they go back. I'll take my chances that Westbrook will have an off game rather than Kevin Durant.

OKC just destroyed the Mavs O_o ! The image of the people on the middle seats leaving was sooo fucked up.Cuban was so disappointed.

bright lights, big city · May 04, 2012, 04:56 AM

They'll be back next year when they have Deron Williams.

RoyalDeftonicBoy · May 04, 2012, 06:43 AM

Williams to Mavs? Mmmm I dunno about that.He would be a good addition in Clippers

bright lights, big city · May 04, 2012, 12:59 PM

He would be stupid to not come to the Raptors, he could play well with with Amir Johnson.

deftones86 · May 05, 2012, 04:50 AM

Deron Williams is from north Dallas he'll defiantly be a Maverick next year. Then Dwight Howard the next and the post Dirk transition will be complete, while still making the playoffs. I can live with that.

How about that nasty Joakim Noah ankle injury, and then the Philly crowd cheering the injury as he's screaming in pain. What great sports fans.

I know right. Those philly fans are just real winners. On a more positive note, for me at least, Nugs finally beat the lakers. And we've got another home game coming up. Very unhappy to see Bynum break Al Harrington's nose though. The lakers sure love those "Inadvertent" elbows.

Faried's awesome. He's the Manimal!

RoyalDeftonicBoy · May 06, 2012, 05:08 AM

Mavs are history,they were defeated in the last quarter after being up 13! The Mavs were a newspaper from yesterday these playoffs.Second champion to be wiped off on the first round,Heat experienced the same in 2007.
Clippers won by 1,once again thanks to CP3.They need to practice lots of FT and also Griffin needs to watch his ass due to many Technical fouls.
My Spurs won tonight but it took us until the second half of the game to do it.The first half was awful and Ginobili stills struggling.He was 0-8 on threes,however he made 10 assistances which is great.Monday last match,I hope so.

Fuck the 76ers and fuck their refs too.

This is exactly what I've been thinking... Oh well, bad year to be a mavs fan of course but there is always next year... I only bothered going to like one game this season... Ugh and then Rangers were fucking it up away in Cincinnati but that's for another thread...
