Bright Moments Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 That was some sad shit! what's so sad about the two best teams in the nba playing a tight final series, each winning in their own house? this one should go to 7 games! Quote
Big Al Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 That was some sad shit! what's so sad about the two best teams in the nba playing a tight final series, each winning in their own house? Agree with ya there, but Dallas wasn't playing anywhere NEAR the level they should be playing. I mean, game 3 was exciting, but Dallas seems to have carried the last 6 minutes of that game forward with no end in sight. I hope it goes seven as well, but let's hope that both teams are playing at their highest levels if/when that happens! Quote
JSngry Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Note to Avery: Have your tema get their hearing checked. What they needed to increase was their focus, not their fuckups... Riley called it right after the game - from here on out, it's as much about will as skill. And the Mavericks look to be sorely lacking in that right now. Gut check, motherfuckers, gut check. Quote
JSngry Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 what's so sad about the two best teams in the nba playing a tight final series... Sorry, but the Mavs and Spurs played two rounds ago. Wade, otoh, is starting to have "one of those" series. Glad to see it, as he really is a special talent. The Heat are not a better team than either the Mavs or Spurs, not on paper, and not over the course of the regular season. But it ain't about who's a better team, it's about whether or not you can play up to your full potential and prove that you're a champion. Right now, the Mavericks are nowhere near playing like a champion. If they lose this series, there's going to be some serious head trips going on, and there damn well should be. This team can only lose by choking, and chokers suck. Quote

BruceW Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 It is a whole new series now. I am taking Miami Heat in 7 based on the experience of Shaq and Coach Riley...... Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Posted June 16, 2006 Bruce YOU ARE MF CRAZY........ Quote
Noj Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Wow, to think the Mavs were about 7 minutes away from a 3-0 series lead. I had the broom out and everything. If Nowitzki can't muster better than 2-18 or whatever miserable percentage he shot last night, the Heat will run away with this one. The Heat have all the momentum now. Amazing turnaround! Wade is awesome, a gritty bad ass clutch mf. Quote
JSngry Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Local ESPN radio is quoting an unnamed NBA official that a suspension of Stackhouse for the Shaq foul is "currently under consideration". Give me a break... Quote
Noj Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Red zone, mf. Good foul by Stack, nothing but playoff basketball. He had to get around Jason Williams which made the angle difficult, but Stack showed clear effort to get to the ball and not malicious intent to harm Shaq. Quote
JSngry Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 The Heat have all the momentum now. Well, the Mavs had all the momentum for 2 games and here we are. Momentum comes and momentum goes. I still have to believe that the Mavericks will get their shit together and come out on top. That's been the story of their season, teetering on the brink of falling back into their old ways only to pull it out and up at the last second. Hell, it was just in April that we were all getting worried that this team had lost its way and was going to be ripped by Memphis. These guys refuse to just go ahead and get it done in one fell swoop, damn them. But this year, they've always gotten it done, even if it was by the most gut-wrenching means imaginable. This series looks like it's going to be no different. Having said that, Wade really is a special talent, and if the Mavs can't find a way to slow him down (stopping him is going to be impossible), he can get into a groove that this bunch of head cases is going to have to dig extra deep inside be able to deal with. Do they have it in them? We'll see. Always the hard way with this bunch, always the hard way... Quote
JSngry Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Red zone, mf. Good foul by Stack, nothing but playoff basketball. Exactly. I don't buy into the NBA Conspiracy theories (Stern hates Cuban, sure, but big deal. EVERYBODY hates stern, so that's a wash), but geez, if this goes down, you gotta wonder just what the hell is going on. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Posted June 16, 2006 Stack did hit the daddy in the head on that foul.... Quote
JSngry Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Ah yes, the classic story of how the crafty fox convinced everybody that the grapes were no good, only to come back with a ladder aqt night when nobody was looking and devour them whole. I LOVE that story! Quote
JSngry Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Stack did hit the daddy in the head on that foul.... Oh boo hoo. The Daddy said afterwards that his daughter hits him harder than that. Does The Daddy now need a nursemaid to look after him? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Stack did hit the daddy in the head on that foul.... Right, which means it's a flagrant foul (two-shots and the ball), which they called. No suspension necessary. Stack didn't stick his chest out and brag, he didn't argue the call, he didn't do anything but keep Shaq from getting a runaway slam dunk. That's a playoff foul. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Posted June 16, 2006 The ESPN crew last night said Stack would be suspended for the next game Quote
JSngry Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 The NBA had three highly qualified officials on the floor who reviewed the foul before making the call. Would the NBA dare say that those officials are not as qualified as they're made out to be? I think not. Not even that little weaselsquirt Stern is that transparent. Quote
Big Al Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 The ESPN crew last night said Stack would be suspended for the next game Who reported that? Skip Bayless? Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Posted June 16, 2006 my prediction i'm sticking with heat in 6 games whoever wins this next game wins the series the game # 3 collapse will cost the mavs Quote
Big Al Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 When you gonna change your signature to read "D-Wade is my daddy"? Quote
JSngry Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 This afternoon, Avery announced on the local ESPN radio (the Randy Galloway show to be specific, for the locals) that he had been notified that Stack was getting a one game suspension. Un-be-liev-a-BULL. Otoh, Benga's back for Game 5, so that's 6 more fouls we can take in the middle. Who knows? Quote
BruceW Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 It is a whole new series now. I am taking Miami Heat in 7 based on the experience of Shaq and Coach Riley...... Bruce YOU ARE MF CRAZY........ No, I am not. Dallas will win another game. my prediction i'm sticking with heat in 6 games whoever wins this next game wins the series the game # 3 collapse will cost the mavs BUT BUT BUT.... you just said I was crazy....... But yeah, whoever wins game 5 wins the series, easy.... THE HEAT Shaq, Flash and Riles, whatta combo, ya can't beat it with a stick..... Quote
BruceW Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 and do not forget WHITE CHOCOLATE. He is playing some great ball lately. Quote
