As I was so politely reminded first thing this morning , my beloved SPURS are down in the series 1 - 0. I will admit that my boys look like I feel - old, tired, and worn out.... Even though Dirk looked okay..., I still hold onto the belief that anything can happen and usually does - hopefully, Dirk will choke.

CONGRATULATIONS to all the Mavs fans out there in Smoakydom!

It's still a race to 4 but the Mavs just look a little fresher than the "Injury Riddled" Spurs.

I still think Dallas wins this one in six.

I don't see the Mavs getting past the next round though.

Without the flopper, the Spurs don't have a chance.

Poor OLD spurs. LOL

Dallas will take this one pretty easily, they are peaking at the right time. And about the comments on Dirk, when other players step up it can and will negate any subpar performances by the superstar. I'll count on the rest of the boys being there to pull it through.

dallas can win in the playoffs until they face the lakers. whether that means the next round or the conference finals. i'm not saying dallas will make it to the conference finals, i'm just saying they have the ability to beat everyone in the west except the lakers.

I agree with that. They are talented enough to reach the conference finals and then you never know what could happen. Maybe Kobe sprains an ankle. For the first time in a long time Dallas is playing a little defense, not much, but even a little gives them a chance to win against any team but the Lakers and the Cavs. Howard's ankle needs to hold up though. If Dallas plays like they are capable of playing they sweep the Spurs. That said I think they win in 6. I think Denver will give Dallas fits though.

Hey, Huck? I don't want to brag or anything - and whisper when you read these words 'cause I certainly don't want to jinx it, but ...



SPURS are WINNING Game 2

Parker 38 points!!!!!

Series tied 1-1. Hey, Huck - you hearing me, buddy?????


105 to 84.

**Thank you, Mavs, for allowing my team to win one!**

^ congrats and enjoy one of your two victories in this series.

I only get two?????

That's what I'm hoping.
If you get four, I'll take my crow............ fried.

No crow, my friend. You'll have just crossed over from the Dark Side!!! We'll have a party! Buffalo wings?

If the Mavs do manage to win they will choke away more than two.

The Mavs should be thankful they got one win on the road. They are a terrible road team, especially in the playoffs. They're going to have to win at home to win this series.

Man, Cuban looked like he had a lobotomy last night at the end of the game. He's pretty scary.

Let's go Spurs!!!

Looks like there are a LOT more SPURS fans than I thought! Nice to see you guys!!!

I am not a Spurs fan, but I do respect Tim Duncan alot, and I can't stand Dirk.

Ah well, you're a partial - you get just a , but not a !


On second thought - you can't stand Dirk. That'll get you

Go Spurs Go!!

They, along with a certain Big 12 team you're a fan of, do have a history of choking lately.

GO SPURS GO! Been a fan my entire life! Unlike some friends of mine who claim to be so... but had never heard of Sean Elliott!

I didn't think I could come out of the woodwork around here with all of these dreaded Mavs fans...

Only way Spurs might win this series: Play DREW GOODEN more!!!

Nice to have you out in the open. It's all good-natured fun. Tonight will be a very telling night for our SPURS!!!


Dirk's gotta choke!


Go, SPURS, Go!

As much as i love the mavs, i think they'll find a way to lose this series someway or another.

From your lips to God's ears! <<praying, not sleeping>>


**Yeah, I know - brought religion into it now....

I'm so glad that I'm not able to watch the game tonight. I just don't think my old heart could take it! The Mavs need to do what the Mavs do so well ~~ turn on one another ~~ and the heart-attack boys need CPR!

wish I wasn't watching the game tonight! Glad I didn't make the drive to Dallas though

I and my beloved SPURS just get no respect. Can you believe this PM just delivered to my box?????


Just letting you know, in case you didn't, that the Mavs are beating your Spurs like a borrowed mule. Up by 30 something late in the third.

Have a good night


Notice that sarcastic "Have a good night."

Hi, CHSMom - nice to see you back - wish it was with better news, though.

Can you say "taken to the woodshed"?

After 39 minutes of basketball, the Spurs have 48 points. Shooting 28 percent from the field.

Love it.

Enjoy your victory, Mantle and Huck. Maybe we'll get ya the next time.


**Woodshed ... I'll give you woodshed!**

Mavs are incredible at home...after starting like 0-4 to start the season, they went like 32-5 the rest of the way. however, dallas NEEDS to continue to take care of business at home...because i do not believe they could steal another in SA

I was crushed this morning when I first woke up and heard that the score was 88 to 66. My beloved SPURS just gave that one away - no fight in them at all apparently.

Then - I saw the score: 88 to 67.

Whew ... Hope springs eternal!

who?

Dallas is going for the long, drawn out choke in this series.

surely dallas doesn't lose 3 in a row...would dallas play the winner of houston/portland?

i've been surprised the Mavs have had as easy of a time as they have.

I'll take some of that action.

Spurs may win one more in SA but Dallas will close the deal in the AAC.

Drats, missed last night's game, too. Wedding stuff....

At least my SPURS are closing the gap - - Wasn't last night's score 99 to 90????

Oh well ... I'll miss watching them play , but at least my ears can take a break from the squeaky shoes on the court! I really do hate basketball....

If my beloved SPURS can't GO, SPURS, GO!!! ... then

GO, CAVS, GO!!!!!

Congratulations, Mavs and fans, on the W in Game 4.

should dallas win, they will play the winner of new orleans and denver...hopefully NO can turn the series around...the mavs have had no success at all against the nuggets.

LV, you're a class act and the Spurs have been as well for the last decade (except for Bruce Bowen). I can only hope my Mavericks will have as much success as the Spurs have had in their history. I admire the Spurs as much as any team in any sport on the planet. Their success is quite amazing and I love the Spurs being the Mavs' biggest rival. I love to dislike the Spurs, because I want my Mavs to one day reach their level of success.

Thank you, catluv. I don't hear that too often! SPURS really are!

Okay, you guys are wearing me down. IF the Mavs end up winning this series ... oh - I'm trying to get this out - I truly am ... I will ... ah, man, this is harder than I thought it would be ...

IwillrootfortheMavsaslongasIdon'thavetolikeCuban.


There! I said it.

At least I promise to try....

Alright! The closeout comes tonight! At least that's what I'm hoping, that way the Mavs can get an extra day of rest before gearing up for the Nuggets. After game three of NO and Denver I thought the hornets might make a series of it, boy was I wrong!

LET'S GO MAVS!!!

New Orleans definitely gave up - no fight in them whatsoever.

Yes, tonight will be a sad night on the RiverWalk - but that's okay. This city bounces back like nothing I've ever seen. The fans will still wave their banners from the hotel balconies and cars. It's an amazing show of support whether the team wins or loses ... It's a lot more fun when they win, of couse.

To all the Mavs fans - Boo ... Hisssssss ....

Just kidding - whether you win tonight or not - I don't see the SPURS winning them all. Let's just get it over with and put all of us SPURS fans out of our misery. Good luck with the next series ...

LV, you know just as well as i do, that regardless of how banged up, old, and worn down the spurs are, knocking them out IN SA is not something easily done. the spurs are a very experienced team with some great players and a hall of famer.

tonight will be a battle

Yes, my heart attack boys will NOT give up without a fight. I just don't think they can win the remaining games to win the series. I'm willing to allow the Mavs a shot at the championship. We have ... uh - how many trophies???

I love my SPURS!!!!

Mavs just had to much vs the short handed Spurs.

Congrats to all you Spurs fans on so many great years but like all great teams father time eventually catches up with you. They are going to have to get their big 3 some help off the pine.

I just wish the Mavs could just win "ONE" championship.

It's a sad, sad day....

Okay, I'm over it!

Nothing to be ashamed about LV. Duncan and Parker, as usual, did as much as they can do without Ginobili. They have one of the highest winning percentages in NBA history. They have four more O'Brien trohpies than...........

Anyway, I'll be pulling for the Mavs in the Western Conference. I'm not big on Denver, and I hate the Lakers.

Go Mavs Go!!
