Yeah, but Baron is walking so slap an Icy-Hot Backside Patch on that sucka and release the hounds.

But I think the deal with hamstring strains or pulls is that you can sometimes walk OK, but you can't run at all.

@ Low - Why? You already have two boobies. :pound:

SJax took an unintentional elbow to the face from a teammate...ouch.

Baron doing his Isiah impression or Grant?

He looks awful.

It takes Javie and Garretson both to overrule Wunderlich's no-call.

Baron is really laboring here. Looks like the Warriors...probably should have won Game 5 when they had the chance.

Davis lookin like Magic in '89

Kerr acting like Davis died.

@ Low - Why? You already have two boobies. :pound:

Hey!:gun1:

Steve Kerr says it may take a "Willis Reed-type effort" from Baron...well, Willis Reed scored all of 4 points in that game, as inspirational as he was. Clyde Frazier with 36 points and 19 assists was somewhat more of a factor in that game.

Yo! It's gametime...in 1080P!!!

To be fair, Kerr was only about five years old at the time.

Keep on chuckin', Seinfeld.

So? I was -6 years old.

How could Javie possibly make that call? He was screened off by Nowitzki. Garrettson on the baseline had a much clearer view.

And a bad call from Wunderlich. His heels were not on the floor.

It's amazing how every call is in DAL's favor so far...I find it very interesting how they can swallow the whistles when GS has the ball.

that was a charge...BS

These refs are an abomination...


and will someone please tell Peitrus to stop shooting. Has he hit a shot this decade?

What is Kerr smoking?

Davis is 90 feet behind the play where the hell is he going to run back to?

What is Kerr smoking?
His own Kool-aid, rolled up in a joint?

It's amazing how much better the Ws team rebounding gets when they're not in a zone.

Howard trying to reaggravate Baron's injury by twisting him to the floor... no effect on his shooting, though.

Where the hell was the foul on either of those possessions?

OMG....Kerr is just praying for a GS loss with his predictions of collapse sans Davis who remains in the game.

Baron is hitting some crazy shots, but the Mavs are only down 2 despite Dirk being 1-10.

If the Mavs make the proper halftime adjustment on Baron, they should be able to take him mostly out of the game. Play up on him to take away the jumper, since he won't be able to drive.

Baron can get by Terry or their bigger guards even on one leg.

Harris? Depends on how much flopping this crew's willing to tolerate.

He looks much quicker early in the second half.

Mavs are fouling up a storm here, Warriors are starting to get a couple of calls going their way.

It looks like Avery's told his players to hammer Baron whenever possible in addition to attacking him on defense.

Jackson's hot.

Jackson has warmed up with an assist from the Mavs--they're leaving him open by 10 feet every time.

Kerr still explaining why DAL is better and will win.

I wonder if he will continue with this line of thinking if the Mavs lose...will he be telling us how if you really think about it, DAL really won the series, but just didn't have the number of games.....blah blah blah...

The Dirk Nowitzki Storyline has been brought into play.

Wow, Jackson is just raining triples on the Mavs. This is Microwave-esque!

on FIRE!

Avery goes to the secret weapon (http://nba.com/playerfile/austin_croshere).

And he's REJECTED by Biedrins!

LOL, I was just about to comment on the attempt to unleash that Croshere magic again.

LOL....Cola's Secret Weapon only has one round in it.

SJax for teh win1111111!

Croshere is gunning on every single possession...to no avail.

The Warriors are suddenly making defensive rotations like the '90s Bulls.

I love how the Mavs keep going to Croshere rather than Dirk.

Whoa, Baron, WTF...why is he going after Croshere?! It was a hard foul, but come on, it's the playoffs.

First they run plays for Austin Croshere, now DeSagana Diop. Brilliant decision, Stack.

18 point lead.

This is amazing, Warriors lead just keeps on climbing. Mavs are going to have to find an awful lot of heart in an awfully big hurry.

D4E, that was the 2nd time in this series that Croshere has popped Davis like that. It's becoming borderline personal.

Really, I don't remember the other time. Anyway, this is Game 6, gotta keep your head. But Baron didn't do anything worse than drawing half of a double tech, so it wasn't too bad.

Sooooo Low: is it the right move to bench Nowitzki at this point? :stirthepot:

Yeah...I think it was actually in game 5. It was, again, during a spurt where GS was kicking arse.

Good drive by Baron. They're getting the calls now, so get in there and get to the line.

Sooooo Low: is it the right move to bench Nowitzki at this point? :stirthepot:

I'd give him one more short stint to start the 4th...if he continues to play soft like he is....I'd Darko him for the what's left of my season.

Chokehouse steps OOB.

Avery throws in the towel with Hack-a-Biedrins.

Chokehouse brick.

OH MY GOD WHAT A DUNK BY BARNES!

Did Biedrins just become victim to the "hack-a" strategy?

BARNES!

This is one of the worst meltdowns I've ever seen. Warriors might win this game by 30, at this rate.

Thank you, Pietrus, for crossing the next-to-last item off my checklist for this series.

This is one of the worst meltdowns I've ever seen. Warriors might win this game by 30, at this rate.

I'd have to say this qualifies as the best meltdown...lol

Score of the third quarter: 36-15.

Dirk's own teammates aren't even giving him the ball. They don't believe in him. I'd shut him down and look for a trade this offseason.

Maybe Dirk for Pau...at least Pau has some fight in him.

So does Dirk get his MVP trophy in front of an empty arena, or do they fly him into some other city? :pound:

THey should just mail it to him UPS

Well, we know that the P in Dirk's MVP award doesn't stand for player...

I finally have the game on.

Go Warriors!

As pathetic as Dirk has been here, and he obviously carries the biggest responsibility, this is an absolute team-wide collapse. That's what has to be scaring Cuban the worst right about now.

Jackson and Davis give you two creators in the halfcourt. The Mavs cannot afford to slow this down.

Maurice AGER? :gun1:

Ager did more in one possession than Croshere did in half the third quarter.

I'll make a donation to TNT if they give me a Cuban Watch picture-in-picture for the rest of the game.

Yeah, I'd pitch in too! :laugh:

I'm hoping we can see the 3 headed hydra of Nowitzki, Croshere and Van Horn. :nerd2:

I'd make Dirk fly coach back to DAL

CHOKEHOUSE!!

LOL @ Kevin Willis, championship piggy-backer.

Come on, Barnes - don't let them get it inside 20. If you give Austin Croshere just a little bit of daylight he'll rip your heart out (before his skin turns bright red and peels off).

Lead up to 24!

Wow, now JRich is shovelling dirt on the Mavs' grave.

Wow, now JRich is shovelling dirt on the Mavs' grave.


LOL...is JRich the Undertaker now?

I'll make a donation to TNT if they give me a Cuban Watch picture-in-picture for the rest of the game.
:pound::pound::pound:

I was going to say that he was pounding the last nail into the coffin, but obviously the Mavs were already dead.

The curse of the best record in the league strikes again.:gun1:

20 + ???
What happened?

That's Mitch Richmond hanging out with Chris Mullin, isn't it?

Now that's how to bust a zone.

oh, now Dirk wants to shoot...

Maurice Ager is the only Mav showing any heart here.

That's Mitch Richmond hanging out with Chris Mullin, isn't it?

Oui...

Croshere has somehow managed to be even worse than Dirk in this game.

Kerr is so full of crap...teams with speed and quckness haven't started a new day in the NBA....DAL just choked.


...Teams that can show multiple lineups...those are the teams that are winning...


What the heck does "multiple lineups" REALLY mean....it's a cliche and there's no real definition to fit what he just said...

http://www.cikava.com/gallery/albums/Photoshop_madness/Mavs_logo_001.jpg

Must suck to be a Mavs fan about now. You win 67 games, your star (probably) wins the MVP...and you become a league-wide laughingstock by flaming out against an 8 seed.

Is that some honkytonk version of My Little Pony? :lol:

Kerr is so full of crap...teams with speed and quckness haven't started a new day in the NBA....DAL just choked.
Just because you do not want something to be true, doesn't mean it isn't...

i guess the warriors got the better part of that trade

Adonal Foyle!

YOU, SIR ARE A WINNER! I SALUTE YOU.

EXCELSIOR!

Just because you do not want something to be true, doesn't mean it isn't...

True, but just because something isn't true, doesn't mean you should say it is.

LMAO @ Dampier. Terry and Stack look miserable, but he just has the familiar scowl.

@ Low, the Bulls have quickness, speed and play small ball. It is the current trend.

111-86. Hats off to the Warriors!

LOL at Cuban talking smack at a cameraman.

...@ Low, the Bulls have quickness, speed and play small ball. It is the current trend.

The only trend I care about is who wins the title...0 out of the last 5 Champions (and even more) have won playing that style..

Please tell me you are not wearing your Dave Bing throwback right now!

My take is, always keep an eye to the future and your feet in the present. The past is just that. Past.

Barkley's sporting one of those "We Believe" shirts...LOL. And he also said he would wear a Warriors jersey for the first game of the next round if they knocked out the Mavs.

So, the Mavs are done. What a stinker by Dirk. And that guy is an MVP? Running over everyone during the season but can't compete when it matters.

Like I said earlier, as bad as Dirk was, I think the Mavs' problems ran deeper in this series than just his sub-par play.

No Dave Bing for me,

Besides, I'm a proponent of learning from the past and taking that knowledge into the future.

@ 'scoe...besides harrassing me...shouldn't you be slaving over a hot keyboard getting those previews ready?

can the warriors beat the jazz?

That's got to be a lousy way to end your night. (http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/5263/mavsownedee2.jpg)

I think it'll probably be the Rockets. I do think the Warriors might be able to beat them. But if they make the conference finals, they'd have to beat either Phoenix (no) or San Antonio (absolutely no)...and their run would end.

How do we think the Pistons would be doing against them? The Warriors are playing great, and Detroit would clearly have little chance of stopping Baron, but I don't think they'd be slowing us down much either. No way we'd be sweeping them, but I think we could handle them in 5 or 6. I can't see the Warriors getting the consistent turnovers and crappy 4th quarter execution that have plagued the Mavs if the Warriors were going up against the Pistons instead.

@ 'scoe...besides harrassing me...shouldn't you be slaving over a hot keyboard getting those previews ready?
How do you know I am not?

Are you going to respond to my PM? :)

Ah, I was wondering if there was an MVP who lost in the first round before, and they just showed it...Moses a couple of times with Houston, and Unseld in '69 (I think that was when he had the MVP/Rookie of the Year double).

How do you know I am not?

Are you going to respond to my PM? :)


lol...was two seconds from shutting off the laptop....done

Mavs "Gone Fishin'" photo on TNT showed Chuck Norris in there with Dirk, Cuban, Avery, Charles, and Kenny...with T.O. floating in the background. :laugh:

Was that Adonal Foyle who was crowd-surfing before heading to the locker room?!

DAL seriously needs to look at swapping Dirk for Pau. Pau has much more fight in him that Dirk does which is exactly what DAL needs.

Unbelievable.

Warriors will have a chance to steal Game 1 or 2 after Jazz and Rockets beat each other up in Game 7.

A Suns-Warriors WCF matchup is not impossible.

After years of failure and its share of unsuccessful personnel moves, Golden State is suddenly as big in the Bay Area as Barry Bonds' home run chase across the water in San Francisco.

I'm glad people in the Bay Area finally have something to cheer for basketball-wise. I lived in San Jose for a year and the Mercury News (where I worked) didn't even assign a full-time reporter to the Warriors beat. The team was just considered a laughingstock.

Stephen A. Smith referred to Dirk as the Tin Man on ESPN. Wow! I thought Avery Johnson and even Cuban showed decent sportsmanship in the post-game interviews/pressers.

FOX Sports - NBA - Davis, Nellie, Mullin among Warriors' heroes (http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/6774706?MSNHPHMA)

Writers don't even consider Mavs a real team anymore. All those bandwagon-ass cats who thought that they will win it all this year.

:pound: :pound: :pound: :pound:

They must be regretting not re-signing Nash. Davis just tore them up.

How good are the Warriors?

I heard one of the announcers commenting on how slow Yao Ming will look against these guys if the Rockets advance.

If they do prove to be a tough mismatch against Houston, and somehow get by them, then they will be going up against either San Antone or Phoenix in the WCF.

How crazy would a Phoenix/Golden State series be?

Then you could have Detroit coming out of the east to ruin all the fun.

So maybe we're looking at the biggest upset in sports history here.

If the Warriors win the next two rounds then they will become a team of destiny and will become America's (and Stern's) favorite to win it all. :)

I can definitely picture Dirk saying to Cuban: "First of all, I'm not 100% in love with your tone right now."
