So thats how it went. Sad :puppydog:

Barkley's streak of jinxing teams might end this year.....might :sweat:

Yeah, hopefully the Mavs will help him to end his jinx in this series, and win the championship in the process. Otherwise, Barkley will end up doing his usual thing......eating his words :beaten:

Maybe he shouldn't say which team he thinks will win the serie.
Write it down or something :mrgreen:

Agreed. He should just shut the hell up if he can't help being biased on his analysis of each playoff series. :beaten: :hehe:

I guess there are 2 ways of looking at last night's game: If you're a Dallas fan you say,"If we had Stackhouse we would have won" If you're a Miami fan you say, "Shaq makes his free throws and it's a blow out" So far the home team has won every game, let's hope that keeps up in Dallas. :fingerscrossed: [/list:u]

Dallas fans probably used that lame excuse (except me of course :hehe: ). And yeah, I also noticed that both teams didn't win any road games in this series. If this will go on, it's gonna be in favor for the Mavericks :mrgreen: :victory:

As long as the Mavs brakes Wade's ankles and Shaq hurts himself trying to run down court on defense, all is good for Mavs fan :mrgreen:

seriously, I still think the Mavs can win the next game and still have a good shot at winning the championship. They just need to play better D and score big points in the 2nd half :mrgreen:

Dude, the Mavs is not the Detroit Pistons :beaten:

Agreed on that. They showed improvement in game 5, just a little adjustment and they will be back on track for the next 2 games.

True :beaten:
They can't risk having most of their players in foul trouble just to send Shaq to the FT line either :sweat: Though if they were desperate and did this....Shaq might still only make like 4/16 FT :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yeah, but they did use the play called "Hack-A-Shaq" (sending Shaq to the FT line) in game 5, but the dude made his FTs (4/8 in the 4th) so it seems like it wasn't that effective nowadays. :sweat: Shocking, isn't it? :beaten:

Dude is just getting too much practice time in :beaten:

Attacking fast on offense and not giving Heats time to set up their defense???
Hire a sumo wrestler to block Shaq from getting within 10ft of the basket???

Why go through all those trouble when you can hire a bounty hunter to hunt down the big tub of goo?! :twisted: :mwahaha: :beaten:

Game 6 just getting started, I expect Dallas to win, thereby setting up the "dramatic" game 7. Qilver dude, where are you man?

I'm back, took a few days off from JDorama....
need a break now and then...

Dallas playing like they need to win, and their backs against the wall....
up big in the first, 26-12, a few min left in the 1st, and it is still too early, but they need to keep this up, or GO HOME... :beaten: :sweat:

Dallas is careless with the ball, T/O'ers, bad D, let Miami over take the game, mav's are slipping away...
mid way in the 3rd, down 7 points. :beaten:

Mav's also flat on their offensive game...

i think Miami wants it more and will take it in Dallas. :nut:

Heat wins :banghead: Looks like I'm as good as Barkley at picking games. Time to move on, GO DODGERS!!! [/list:u] Q, check out the Reactions to a caucasian thread it got started while you were gone

Mavs was shooting terribly :shakehead:

Dodgers.....Good luck to them.
I don't know baseball, but I'm sure it won't be the Red Sox, Yankees, Angels, A's, or Diamondbacks that are going to win :victory:

I think the Dallas Maverick shot poorly, and gave it what they had left, and lost in a heartbreaking lost, another loss, 4 straight....

But at the same time, I am happy for the Miami heat team, even though i wanted Mav's, a west team to take it. Gary Payton, Alonzo Mourning have to be extra happy as players who are at the end of their careers finally winning a championship. Shaq with another Ring, and for Wade for being spectacular on the court, like M. Jordan, but in my opinion, there will only be one MJ.

I think Miami deserves the win, the way they played and shut down Dallas, who knows, maybe next year it will be a rematch of these teams.

NBA basketball season ends here, and we all have next season to look forward to, go Clippers...and gotta be happy that they made the playoffs this year. :applaud:

That wraps it up for this NBA season. :argh: :say_argh:

But nothing to be ashamed of for the Mavericks, they gave a good fight in games 5 and 6, they just ran out of gas to seal a victory in those games :sweat:

As for Barkley, he is now 0-5 this season, and his career standing would be 0-(damn, it's too many that I can't remember all of it :beaten: ). I guess the Barkley jinx will go on :shakehead:

The Knicks fired Larry Brown and replaced him with Isaiah Thomas :shocked: Putting Isaiah in charge is kind of like giving a pyromaniac a lifetime supply of gasoline [/list:u]
