The Mavs are an interesting team... watching them in this playoff series reminds me of what it was like to watch the Broncos back in the late 80s, early 90s.

They dominated the Lakers series, but Portland, OKC and now Miami... they've looked off at points, never letting it get too out of hand, but last night was what - the 4th game now where I've said "Ok, they're just not coming back, the other guys are looking way too poised... they can't do it again."

And then, just like that - BOOM - Dirk awakens, puts the team back on his shoulders and says 'follow me'. It's been awesome and now, Dallas has the edge. They have 3 of the remaining 5 games in Dallas - should it go that far, and I think it at least goes 6, but we may very well have a 7 game series here.

It's been a fun ride, I hope it continues.

1 thing i love about Dirk is, no matter how bad of a game he has had during the first 3 quarters, he seems like he always comes through during the 4th quarter and crunch time.

Headed for Elway status.

Reliving the moment!!!!!!

Dirk deserves a lot of credit, his game has really changed since the arrival of Carlisle and the team doesn't know the meaning of the word quit. They're about as poised under pressure as they can be right now.

They lack the attacking presence that OKC showed and that Miami has, but they're finding ways to stay poised and not let a double digit lead depress them and that's really amazing considering the circumstances.

These next two games in Dallas should really be good.

Have to admit I turned the channel about the time this video started with the Chalmers 3. I turned it back on in time to see Kidd hit the 3 to drop the lead to six. I was totally disgusted when Terry played absolutely no D on that 3 to tie. Why was he in there on D after a called timeout? Chandler got away with an NFL type block on Nowitzki's clutch 3.

I think the thing that will show if the Mavs can win is how long they can keep up with the high energy D and rebounding. They have lose D and rebounding when they go to the bench. The Mavs will also need to attack the basket like they did in this game. Chandler has to do a better job of finishing.

#LetsGoHEAT! :huh:

Go beat yourself with a branch from an AIDS tree.

Sweet vid.

Do they have the video of Dirk's shot to take it to overtime last night? Oops that didn't happen did it?

LetsGOHEAT!

I wanted to see Dirk get a ring, but not this year.

At least he didn't lay on the ground and pretend somebody poked him in the eye.

This.

Dwayne Wade kicking LeBron and Bosh in the ass showed whose team this is, in case any further evidence was needed. D-Wade=best player on the Heat.

So Bosh didn't get poked in the eye?
