Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that one :sweat: . The Spurs is a tough team like the Suns and could do the same thing, so the Mavericks should be aware of this and should give it their all to close this series soon.


Yeah, whereever the next game is, home or away, the Mav's should close out, and take care of business, not giving any hope to the Spurs....now that Dallas is in full command at 3-1...
The Spurs are no high octane offense like Phx, but they have better defense and inside game...But it shows, Mav's are the superior team, and fought back to force OT and took the game after that..at home. :applaud:

I didn't care too much for the Pistons/Cav's game...that game was kinda boring, as LeBron shot poorly, but he did pass it a lot and his team responded, and they pulled out a close one...
I think Pistons, like the Heat, should take the next game, and eventually the series...

Heat close out the series with a win over the Nets, 106-105....that was close...

Clippers fall in double OT against the Phx Suns, in Phoenix. Phx won 123-118, up 3-2 in the series...

seriously, if Clips lose this series...i am still proud of my favorite team, they gave it their all, and it was a dogfight....

But here on out, Mavericks look tough and can close out trmw against Spurs....

could be Phx and Mav's in western conf, and Miami and Detroit possibly in the east...
18 May 2006, 11:11 #2223
Cav's win again, now up 3-2 to Pistons....quite surprising.....but good for them. They won in a low scoring game, 84-82
18 May 2006, 15:25 #2224
guess not many people are into the NBA around here, my usual commenters are out on vacation....

until then....i'll carry the load

Pistons fall to Cav's in Detroit, and lose 84-86....
good for Lebron and team....bad for pistons, now they are in a must win game 6, or go fishing...

Dallas loses a close one, and Spurs stay alive in the series..
SA wins 98-97.... :sweat: , game 6 in Dallas
19 May 2006, 09:12 #2225
J. Terry was suspended for game #6, for throwing a punch at the end of the game...
not good for the Mav's...

Clips and Phx tonight...
Suns can wrapped it up tonight with a win, and advance to the western conf finals. :bonk:
19 May 2006, 14:13 #2226
LA Clips win game #6 :woot:, 118-106 over the Suns, force a game #7, Monday in Phx.

This is great. Never saw anyone broke glass off a dunk. I don't remember Shaq being so skinny and tearing down the basket.
20 May 2006, 13:36 #2228
Pistons, Spurs stay alive both teams win against their opponents in game #6, and force a game #7.

Looks like we have 3 game#7's coming up.... :sweat: :say_yes:

Pistons win Cav's 84-82, Spurs beat Mav's 91-86.
Monday, Clips and Phx for game #7. :sweat:

Thanks for the news.
Damn....Cavs lose a close one :puppydog:

I'm rootin for Cavs and Mavs :mrgreen:
Would like to see the Clips beat the Suns.

I just want to see new teams go to finals and beat teams that are favored to win.

Well, the top, and favored teams, won....almost expectedly, but surprisingly they had their backs against the wall facing elimination.
I personally would like to see Mav's, Cav's and Clips take their game #7's...

realistically, I think Detroit, Phx, and Spurs will take it...
But, maybe by surprise that one or some of them won't make it.
20 May 2006, 22:13 #2231
I wasn't too surprised Detroit came back and beat the Cavs, Cleveland is still a young team and I think they started thinking ahead when they won game 5. The only team I don't want to see win is Dallas, their owner is such a total jackass. :beatyou:

I hope the Cav's can upset the Pistons...but probably unlikely..

I hope Dallas takes Spurs in the series, but again, the favored Spurs will probably advance....which means, it is possible that the Mav's will pull an "LA-Lakers", and choke up a 3-1 lead...unless Mav's can beat them.

Clips......i am just happy to see this this far...and put up a good fight...regardless what happens, but hopefully they can win the last game against Phx. :bonk:

Going to watch the Cavs and Piston games.
They talked about how Jordan needed 4 seasons to beat the dominant Pistons and Lebron might be able to do it in 1. It be pretty amazing to do so.

The dudes and on talkin on these pre-game show says James plays more like Magic then Jordan. I...I don't really know. I just think James got game. Calling him King James....I think the name fits him well.

still close in the third...Det. with a small lead...for game #7. :sweat:
22 May 2006, 06:33 #2235
it looks like Det. is in full command and will win the series....who's next. :sweat: :headscratch:
22 May 2006, 06:49 #2236
this game is done...

game #1 eastern conf. finals, Miami-Detroit Tuesday.

Such horrible shooting by the Cavs the whole 4th quarter.
Det.'s defence showed what they could do. Cavs still a young team right? They got time to improve their offense and defence.

Now I don't know which team I want to win....Heats or Pistons :sweat:

that was one ugly game....anti-phx suns run and gun shoot them up offense type game....
Det's clamping defense...shut down the Cav's....ugly boring game..
honestly, i don't care who wins the east, i just want someone from the west to take it all..
i dunno...maybe if shaq and wade can overpower the pistons that would be nice, but unlikely....Det-Spurs once again, and Pistons taking it this year....that is my guess..... :beaten: :shakehead:

In my opinion, the Cavaliers is even lucky that they were able to last up to game 7 in this series. Everyone expected them to be swept or just win a game or 2, but they proved everyone wrong, including me :bonk: . So they should be happy for their accomplishment this season and aim for greater heights next season.

Damn, I can't believe that Dallas is at risk of duplicating the same thing that happened to the Lakers, failing to end the series on games 5 and 6 :shakehead: . If they will be eliminated, there will be no team that I will be rooting for =T
