sighs... suns are gonna get owned by mavs as much as i hate to say it. but it should be a high scoring, entertaining series =]

[Hot Fire Neko]

Nontheless, we got 4 left. Let's hear some guesses for the finals / eventual winner.

[DOVAHKIIN]

Shaq will run over the Wallaces IMO

[gary]

^ kind of like he was supposed to run over the wallaces for the past two playoffs? i just don't see it happening. i think wade has to be huge in the series to win.


....maybe i should start listening to hasselhoff before playing basketball

[DOVAHKIIN]

Ah, but with Mourning backing him up along with Walker (forget Haslem), it'll be a nice battle of the big men.

Ah, but with Mourning backing him up along with Walker (forget Haslem), it'll be a nice battle of the big men.

why do u forget haslem? he's been playing goodin the playoffs hitting his open jump shots and shoots over 76% from the free throw line. i think miami can wih the series. but..i think its dallas' year. no one on the suns can guard novitzki..the real reason why the clippers lost is not because they weren't good enough, they just weren't experienced enough. they did not have the poise or the character to take over and win a game seven and it showed by completely dismantling in the second half, just like what the lakers did in their game seven against the suns WHEN IT MATTERED THE MOST...you can't expect a team with such little playoff experience to play with the type of tenacity and composure to win a game 7. i guess all of us on the clippers nation bandwagon were just wishful thinking.

dallas on the other hand has been in the playoffs before. i believe they have learned from their past mistakes, and is ready to win. they were tested by the spurs, but they turned it on when they needed to and they have like 8 guys who are playing in the prime of their careers and are playing at an extremely high level.

[knockblock]

Anyone but the Mavs. I hate Mark Cuban. Sorry I just can't stand him.

I wonder who will land the number one pick of the lottery.

[private]

YES!!!!!!!!!!! PARTY IN DALLAS TONIGHT AND TOMORROWS. =). TOLD YA SPURS SUCK. i knew they couldnt beat the mavs.

HAHAH WOW IM WATCHING THE PRESS CONFERENCE AND TIM DUCAN IS IN TEARS BECAUSE HE LOST

haha yeah i never like him..he such a baby but the best that lakers is out i never like them oh yeah

Yup third.

Now, come onnn Suns. Gotta keep my Suns Vs Heat finals dream alive.

Mavs deserved to lose though. When you get so leniant that you blow a 20 point lead in a must win situation, you're asking for it. I hate the Spurs almost as much as I do Detroit though, so gj Mavs.

u never know any team can go in the finals good luck to all the teams esp MAVS YEAH BABY LET PARTY.

[epark1281]

OMG. mavs better win this.

...
i hate you monica~~~
....
well not really...
well, maybe just a little bit....

haha yeah i never like him..he such a baby

EXCUSE ME? Tim Duncan is not a friggen baby. He's got the most stinking CRED in the whole entire league. He's a class guy, and he's played thru plantar faciitis this entire season. Mavs has the BIGGEST baby of all, MARK CUBAN. The biggest, whiniest, most annoying, provoking person in the entire league! How could an owner contest a suspension for Terry punching Finley in the nuts? Not only is cuban annoying, he's flat out STUPID. He CLAIMS to know more about basketball than the casual observer, when in fact, he's proven over and over again, he in fact, KNOWS LESS.
Tim Duncan=Man Mark Cuban=baby

"This is the best series I've ever played," Duncan said. "Both teams gave it their all."

CLASS

[gary]

Ah, but with Mourning backing him up along with Walker (forget Haslem), it'll be a nice battle of the big men.

actually, i think haslem is more important to that team than walker. haslem plays great team defense and does the little things that roleplayers are supposed to do. walker just shoots threes. although, when walker is hitting his threes, the heat win games. so you may have apoint there.

haha yeah i never like him..he such a baby

he's not a baby. it's called passion. if he sits there stonefaced cuz he lost a game he could have won, then that just means that he doesn't want the championship and he should retire now because he's lost the "fire" that all basketball players have.

wut mark cuban a baby. wut the heck u smoking on. he wuz right all this time i seen alot worse then terry's punch for example the bruce bowen kick in the face to wallie on the t wolves and ducan is a BIG BABY. he wines about fouls when he is suppose to be this big guy and thats why he lost to the mavs alwayz worring about the calls and not playing b ball.

one more thing it was funny how mark cuban talked about the river walk and he backed it up with his WIN. HAHHAHAHA.

[xkrndreamer]

detriot better beat miami. i dont want shaq thinking he can win a championship without kobe.

what am i smoking? I think you've been drinking the dallas koolaid. Bruce's kick to the face didn't take place THIS YEAR. Why terry got suspended was because fouls like Artest's elbow to manu's face set the TONE and the precidence for how the playoffs were going to be fouled. AND IN ADDITION, that ISN'T why Mark Cuban argued about the call. In fact, he even somewhat JUSTIFIED his player's actions. Don't you think that if Cuban was the owner of the SPURS, he would be screaming bloody murder? Calling for terry's head? Saying that a one game suspension wasn't enough? Making fun of terry? Your empathy for Dallas has clouded your objectivity. The ONLY reason why CUBAN is EVER in the news is because he's whining about something, AGAIN.

[heygingersnap]

pumped for the pistons-heat game tonight... think it'll be a tough one for both teams.

mark cuban is the biggest cry baby the league has. he's such a cry baby that he brings in refs that aren't working, pays them, and asks them about questionable calls. obviously if i'm being paid by mark cuban, i'm going to say that all calls against dallas were "misfortunate" and should not have been called or whatever. and then he takes this and goes to the league and complains. he's the worst kind of cry baby. the ones with money.

so ur saying in game 7 (which was in S.A) every foul the refs were with dallas. In game 7 didnt u notice dallas didnt hardly drive to the hole. they all settled for jump shots and drove only 20 percent of the time and they still won cuz dallas knew the refs were going to screw them if the drove and made contact but then again notice ducan crying in the press conference AHAHHAHA. he actually had tears in his eyes. WTF is that. should a champ be mad instead of crying plus duncan complained in game 7 about the fouls that were sooooo obvious.

looks like S.A has a champ of cry baby to me.
