I'm not calling Dirk or Matrix Magic Johnson......not even close. But in today's NBA, those 2 can play any position and be pretty good at it. Just my opinion though from watching all these games.

 

Magic johnson also could not play defense nearly as well as either dirk or marion. Dirk has been vastly underated his entire career... to the point that people considered him a below average defender... which has never been true.

I would love to see the Pistons pull a Colts and choke this series.

Hey Sheed, you still think those "clowns" can't win this series? Well you'll have no affect on game 6 since your suspended due to being a asshole with no control of your temper. Enjoy trying to win game 6 on the road without one of your best players Pistons....it's only the end of the season if you lose!

What do the Spurs have to do to win a game? Duncan goes into the half 11 for 11 with 28 points but it's all tied up at 57.

I would like to see an NBA champ game of Cleveland vs Phoenix, would be more of an up tempo game and more exciting.

Spurs starting to take control.

 

Up 10.

 

Yikes, this series is gonna go back to Dallas.

Mavericks within 3, if this series goes to Game 6 in Dallas, and San Antonio wins that one, I think they'll also win Game 7 back at home. But the Spurs have to win Game 5 before any of this can happen.

Spurs by 3/5 after 3 depending on the ruling of Duncans final shot.

 

No basket. 3 pt game, 12 minutes to play.

 

Cmon Mavs!

 

Dirk looks lost right now, he needs to get going

They are having problems because the Mavericks are a lot better than they are. However I give the Spurs credit, they are playing GREAT ball and staying in these games despite being outmanned talentwise.

Tim Duncan converts some of the ugliest balls ever to be thrown to the rim

I wouldn't go as far as saying they're a lot better.

Talentwise I would, no doubt about it. The Mavs overall have way more depth and talent than the Spurs, but the will and experience of guys like Ducan, Ginobili, and Finley are the only reason this series hasn't gotten ugly. Popovich's coaching has also been stellar, so the Spurs deserve a lot of credit because this series IMO is a big mismatch on paper.

Down to the wire just like most of the games this series. I'm starting to get a feeling Dallas is going to win this one just like games 3 and 4.

Dirk gets STUFFED by Bowen. Jump ball.

 

ANOTHER jump. The Mavs are in trouble, that could have been a timeout easily. boo.

 

Mavs ball 2.4 left, down 1. COME ON MAVS WIN IT

Edited by WHarris1

2 Jumpballs in a row, the last one didn't look right at all. Dallas ball with 2 seconds left.

I'd be a bit nervous if I was a big Spurs fan. :)

 

SPURS WIN

f***

Spurs win.

 

Now the Mavs have to win at home or they are seriously f***ed.

And San Antonio surives. That 2nd half was the way the Spurs wanted to play. They only allowed 40 points to the Mavericks in the 2nd half.

God I hate the f***ing Spurs

Other than the calls, home court means little in this series. Every game goes down to the last possesion other than game 2 obviously. Of course Dallas wants to end it at home, but they are far from "f***ed" if they don't.

 

4 GREAT games in this series, damn.

It'll be interesting to see how Avery Johnson has his team rally after this loss. Game 2 was unbelievable with how the Mavericks came out and played. While I don't see another Game 2 in the making for the Mavericks, I think most of us know they'll be ready to come out and play once again.

Yeah Dallas really wants to have a game 7 against a team that is 34-7 at home on the year...

 

GMAB, if this series goes 7, SA has the upperhand. SA has lost a whole 18 games in that building in 3 years.

I have to agree with you here. If there is a Game 7, the Mavericks definately have a shot at winning it, but I also think it'll favor the Spurs. I'm going to basically call this Game 6 a must win for both teams. Obviously it's a must win for the Spurs, but I'm saying it for the Mavericks aswell because they won't want to go back to San Antonio to face a surging Spurs team for Game 7.
