Lakers looked pretty bad that whole game. Bynum is back. I was wrong, he looked pretty good today.

OKC was horrible in that 1st half, but definitely stepped it up in the 2nd half. Durant had an off night, but I see him pulling out 2 wins. This will be a good series to watch!
 
wow, timmy leads the fast break for mcdyess, then dirk with fadeaway and 1. this game is a helluva lot more interesting than the first 2 games.
 
(Spurs vs Mavs)
I give up man... you cant win against a team playing with 8 players on the floor... Dirk either scores or gets a foul, its effin unbelievable
 
call the whaaaabulance

34 to 14 FT taken. Subtract let's say, 8 for the Hack-a-Dampier, and that's still 26 to 14 FT taken. That's bullshit, PERIOD. So go fuck yourself, bitch. EAT THE STATS.

Spurs need R. Jefferson and George Hill to step up, period. Pop also needs to realize that he can play DeJuan Blair.

Are you saying the foul calls are bad or he's just making every shot he doesn't get fouled on?

Mavs nut huggers 1
Spurs fans 0

Please show me where the Spurs actually deserved any foul calls. I barely saw them in the paint the first half (which would be why Parker took their first FT way late).

Yes the saviour DeJuan Blair would have definitely ripped the Mavs a new one.

It's only 1 game but after 1:

thepd7's predictions: true
dougp: dead wrong

The real test is going to be if the Mavs and keep it up in San Antonio, I forsee Ginobli or Duncan taking over one of those games.
 
On a different note: the Jazz are done for. I thought they could pull it off with Okur but without him they are dead. So the home team will win every series in the first round.

So you're saying that players now have to EARN a call, as opposed to the player committing the foul? Is that what it's come to? You're retarded.

The foul calls were lopsided - and I don't see how your prediction is right? It's one fucking game, and I said it'd go to 7.

And yah, look at that has-been Duncan, man he's pathetic! 🙄
 
MAVS!

Definitely a scary game for most of it as it was neck and neck for most of the game.

Mavs defense was great, but they did have some sloppy plays resulting in turnovers. Overall, Mavs are looking good, and Dirk, man, what a beast.

Pop needs to stop giving minutes to Bogans (-12) and RJ needs to contribute more (4pts?!!)

Pop needs to stop living in the past, he needs to realize that even with all their collective experience, the big 3 are not the old big 3 anymore, they are old, please give the young guys a chance, stop your knee jerk reaction, one wrong play does not mean that they will ruin the game. Look at Duncan, he lost and ball and made wrong shots soooooo many time, let Hill and Balir have that chance too, Blair had 22 emm effin rebounds against the same team for Pete's sake... pleeeeese let them play. Change with time or be extinct like dinosaur

Parker, you don't need to always kiss up to your teammates, you don't need to pass the ball every single time, you can make some shots too. Please play your game.

I know it's painful but it's time to move on. The rest of the series will continue to be a demolition of the spurs and the mavs will be playing the part of the wrecking ball.

Agreed, that's fully loaded bull shit at its best, served as the main course. You stats are still pretty soothing given that fact that the 1st Spurs FT came with under 4 minutes to go in the second Qtr and theirs came somewhere in the middle at the 1st qtr. Are we to believe that Spurs team is so much more aggressive compared to MAVS????? BIH officials...
