Other Sports *****The Official Mavs All the Way Thread***** - Page 2

I'm surprised one of the Dallas locals haven't started this up. I started watching them when I moved to Garland back in '87. They had Ro Blackman, Derek Harper, Mark Aguirre. Aguirre never wanted to play D. I got tickets to a couple games through my sister who worked for their law firm. I even got tickets to Dr. J's last game there though there was a mix-up with the tickets and got in late. He gave a speech before the game which I missed. On top of that he was injured and didn't play.

There's been some ups and downs, and certainly a lot of people still pissed about their last trip to the finals. I never thought Dirk had the killer instinct. He still really doesn't play D, but he is much more aggressive than he used to be.

I would like to see the Mavs win. But I get the feeling that this is 2006 all over again. Then it was the superstar Wade getting his first NBA Finals trophy (and more free throws then the whole Dallas team in one game), now do you think Stern is going to let Mark Cuban sniff a trophy with Wade, Lebron and Bosh waiting to get one?

Again don't get me wrong, would love to see the Mavericks win. I just doubt the whole system.

And the refs.

Everyone knows that championship is tainted.

Dirk has been waiting a long time for this and has been left with the sting of it since 2006. That said, it didn't look like he wanted it last night. He added almost nothing to the defensive and rebounding effort. Stoyochovich (sp) is worthless if he isn't hitting his shot. He plays absolutely no defense. That said the refs were calling it very tight last night. The play where Dirk hurt his finger had no body contact and looks like he got ball. James should have gotten his fifth on the offensive end after he got his fourth when he gave Barrea an absolute forearm shiver and wasn't called.

Van Gundy is a horrible color man.

Well I think if Terry and Stojakovic hit some shots then that would open things up a bit more for Dirk. It gets really tough when they can play Dirk tight and then collapse the lane if he gets around his man.

I'd love for the Mavs to win this series, like 99.9% of the rest of the people who even know the NBA finals is going on right now.

I'd also love to see LeBron blow out both ACLs at the same time and never play again.

But I wouldn't bet a dollar on either one happening.

**Bugeater** · 06-01-2011, 05:24 PM

The series is already over, the Heat are the NBA's new chosen team.

Mr. Arrowhead · 06-01-2011, 06:53 PM

Id give peja 1 more game, to see if he can hit a shot, but if he is off again, we need to play corey brewer the rest of the series

KurtCobain · 06-01-2011, 11:17 PM

I ****ing hate Lebitch.

Dr. Johnny Fever · 06-01-2011, 11:20 PM

Heat in 5... 6 tops... and the dynasty begins. Dirk will go down is history like Stockton and Malone, great players who never won it all.

Daru · 06-02-2011, 01:21 AM

Please dont count out JJ Barea. Im his biggest fan I like him because hes foreign and great at the same time. His passes are striked perfect each time. Kidd is slow but great. Dirk will be like fire which is great because they need his attack. I also nicknamed Barea Fuego because he plays like fire also.

Lets go Mavs Im rooting!

I will say that watching he and Dirk do pick and rolls against the Thunder was pretty amazing. They had no answer. I did not see them try this once with these two against the Heat the other night.
