Other NBA Playoff Series Action

Cuban's face = Priceless

Wouldn't it be beautiful if the Mavs who kept saying basically that Nellie ball doesn't work, get kicked out by Nellie.

If that happened, he'll be critized for not only getting rid of Nellie, but also Nash, forever.

man, GS can't stop Devin Harris to save their life right now - he's carrying Dallas.

 

[jbeecham]

Warriors in the penalty with 7:48 to go in the 4th qtr.....that's really not good for them. Lots of fouls on the Warriors this qtr.

One thing I'm noticing about the Warriors is that their spacing isn't very good and they run a lot of isolation for Baron Davis.

This team basically plays a sloppy version of our offense

 

[jbeecham]

They seem to have more quickness and athleticism throughout their whole team with Richardson, Barnes, Pietrus, Harrington, Jackson, etc. 87-79 Warriors now with about 3 min to go

 

[cardsunsfan]

I had a feeling this might happen. I've been wathing Golden State for quite awhile now hoping thye would be the playoff matchup for Dallas. I also thought Denver would cause the Spurs some problems...

 

[hsandhu]

Come on GS, getting this one will be huge as GS is one of the toughest arenas to play, especially w/ the crowd behind this style (as we found out a few weeks ago).

 

[krispydude]

i knew the warriors would be a nasty team to play in the 1st round. lucky us.

 

[TheHopToad]

Cuban is pissed!! Gotta love it. All of the Western Conference games have been exciting.

This team basically plays a sloppy version of our offense

maybe it just appears that way, as they have nothing to lose here. they know they arent winning it all this year, they are like a team that cant make the playoffs and has a chance to knock a team out of the playoffs (eg how the kings beat the clips at the end of the year).

 

[jbeecham]

Nowitzki choking down the stretch again.....Harris is down after he got his fast break layup blocked. Looks like he bruised his shoulder.

Warriors up 11 with 1:30 left. Should be game over after that 3 and the Warriors up 14 with less than 40 seconds left.


Edit: WARRIORS WIN! 97-85.

cuban wanted a foul, but that was an awesome defensive play. clean block, unintentional contact made afterward. i wish the best for devon harris though, hes a good player and id hate to see dallas lose because of his absence

 

[hsandhu]

Hopefully GS isnt happy with a split and comes in greedy in game 2, because dallas will be under incredible pressure, gs can take that too.

Man did we luck out getting the lakers instead of Denver/GS or what?

 

[Bufalay]

dirk showed why he shouldn't be MVP

 

[TheHopToad]

It's still way early, but if the Warriors actually manage to pull this off, I'll be rooting for the Rockets to win the 2nd round. I feel much more confident facing Houston in the WCF than GSW, although the Suns should really beat able to beat either team.

 

[arwillan]

dirk showed why he shouldn't be MVP

wouldnt it be funny if they presented him the trophy on a night like this, where he is virtually ineffective and cant lead his team to a win over the 8th seed? i wish the voting included the first round of the playoffs sometimes .

I think GS has a strong chance. their homecourt is brutal especially with their style, and they proved tonight that they can win in dallas too. good job warriors

It would be cooler if he got the trophy while no longer in the playoffs.

 

[Bufalay]

I think Mullin deserves a lot of credit for pulling off that midseason trade. I can't imagine seeing such a nice performance by the warriors if dunleavy and murphy were out there. Those guys didn't have the toughness that this team has now.

 

[TucsonDevil]

Dirk for MVP? Wouldn't it be funny if Dirk finished just a few points above Nash for the MVP and they have his press conference after he has been eliminated in the playoffs - while Nash is heading to the Western Conference Finals.

I know, I am getting ahead of myself. The Warriors have just won a single game.

 

[TheHopToad]

It would be cooler if he got the trophy while no longer in the playoffs.

Actually, they usually do present the trophy during the conference semi-finals. I remember Nash getting it during the Clippers series last year. That would be hilarious. Maybe he could come to Phoenix for the presentation and get booed out of the house....

 

[Bufalay]

would someone please tell golden state, phoenix and denver that uptempo bball doesn't work in the playoffs

I don't think Nellie let's them be happy - and I think there's a HUGE monkey now on the Mavs back - if game 2 is close in the second half, the Mavs WILL choke - they always do.

wow - the Warriors play Mavs-style ball and STILL kick the snot out of them - this is going to be REALLY interesting - he whole damn playoffs - who freaking knows.

no sh#t. that would just be beyond CLASSIC.

New Jersey leading as well.

I saw some dude at the Mavs game wearing a blue troll wig and couldn't help but think of greensborohill.

I hope he/she enjoyed that game
