NBA Playoffs! Whoa Hooo!

**JBB** · 19 May 2005, 02:27 PM

Sure did get quiet in here. They're not done yet, but I would feel a lot better about this series if they had won game 5.

**Columbus Civil** · 19 May 2005, 02:30 PM

It seems that after each game we win, I feel like we'll take the series easily, and after each game we lose, I feel like we're going to get our asses handed to us.

It will be very difficult to win two in a row against Phoenix, but we can do it. We had last night's game won.

**psukhu** · 19 May 2005, 04:32 PM

Anybody going to game 6? (hopefully not the last home game of the season)

**tamtagon** · 20 May 2005, 01:30 AM

San Antonio Spurs: phase 2, complete.

How to do the Heimlich Maneuver:

A choking victim can't speak or breathe and needs your help immediately. Follow these steps to help a choking victim:

From behind, wrap your arms around the victim's waist.
Make a fist and place the thumb side of your fist against the victim's upper abdomen, below the ribcage and above the navel.
Grasp your fist with your other hand and press into their upper abdomen with a quick upward thrust. Do not squeeze the ribcage; confine the force of the thrust to your hands.
Repeat until object is expelled.

Don't slap the victim's back. (This could make matters worse.)

Go Suns.

**Mballar** · 22 May 2005, 04:15 PM

Thanks Mavs for the 2004-2005 Season! With all of the changes in personell this season (players and coaches), I expected another first round exit. However, you proved me wrong. Use you off season to gel and come back stronger next season. Go Mavericks!!! 2006 NBA Champions!

**mikedsjr** · 23 May 2005, 04:58 PM

They will definitely be better next year. And yes. Maybe the elusive 2006 Champion!

**tamtagon** · 03 June 2005, 12:19 AM

San Antonio Spurs: phase 3, complete.

**CTroyMathis** · 04 June 2005, 05:22 PM

How cute.

**tamtagon** · 24 June 2005, 12:57 AM

San Antonio Spurs: phase 4, complete, World Champions.

The Pride of Texas.

give me your number, and you'll have 51

**rantanamo** · 24 June 2005, 02:17 AM

IF UT wins this weekend, they will get silence from me. They can choke off the silence.

**CTroyMathis** · 24 June 2005, 02:27 AM

Good job Spurs.

**dallastophoenix** · 24 June 2005, 03:53 PM

So glad ghetto/white trash detroit did not win!!!

**rantanamo** · 24 June 2005, 06:14 PM

You just described every city in the USofA

I'm 51% sad this morning, but 49% happy to recycle reference of this website - useful to Mavericks fans last year - for Spurs fans this year.

**Geaux Tigers** · 01 June 2006, 11:30 PM

How about Nowitzki tonight?!!! 50 points?!! Oh, hell yeah!

I can't wait for a Miami/Dallas championship series. It'll be a American Airlines Arena vs. American Airlines Center series!

**Cole** · 01 June 2006, 11:43 PM

What a game!!!!

I was nervous at half time.

Way to go Dirk, I take all my bad comments about him back.

A true, player of the game!

**St-T** · 02 June 2006, 12:13 AM

Go Mavs!

Mavs in 6 like I said before the series started!

**BigD5349** · 02 June 2006, 09:26 AM

It was an awesome game! I was getting nervous after game 3, when everyone was saying that the series was already over, and then the Mavs get blown out in game 4. Even tho last night was a blow-out for the Mavs, they still need to buckle down and put the Suns away now. No big-heads until the fat lady sings.

**Columbus Civil** · 02 June 2006, 12:30 PM

Hey tamtagon..that describes me perfectly this year..growing up in SA, the Spurs are my team and always will be. However, I'm happy for my 2nd favorite team to make it to the Finals. They played well the other night..here's hoping they finish the Suns off in the next game.

**Geaux Tigers** · 04 June 2006, 12:08 AM

Not that it seems anyone on this board cares, but the Mavs are going to the finals for the first time ever! After being down 19 points, they came back to beat the Suns tonight and advance to play Miami for the NBA Championship!

**Justin Terveen** · 04 June 2006, 12:50 AM

GO MAVS!!!!!!!!!!

As complete and total chaos ensues on the streets of dallas…. Downtown is a bloody madhouse… Horns.. oh my the horns.. I just saw a city dump-truck (streets) roll down main blasting his air horn in traffic… Great stuff…

**BigD5349** · 04 June 2006, 01:21 AM

I'm down in Austin tonight, and watched the last half of the game in a sports bar off 6th street. The fans down here were really whooping it up, it was just like being at home. Congrats Mavs!

**msutton** · 04 June 2006, 02:17 AM

great news. i wish i had a night off on any of the game nights..

Is that what that noise was? It was a noisier than normal last night, but oh well. Yeehaw!

**Columbus Civil** · 04 June 2006, 01:29 PM

Finley - check
Nash - check
Antoine Walker - ???

**DalMac** · 04 June 2006, 08:06 PM

Cheers to all MFFLs out there, especially those that have been here for awhile and can recall the near misses in the 80s, and the Dark-Age (1990-1999 winning percentage under 30%).

I remember those days.....

**Geaux Tigers** · 04 June 2006, 10:34 PM

Ah, the 90's...the dark ages for basketball in Dallas.

**mikedsjr** · 05 June 2006, 05:10 PM

I don't go to many games because I've always thought I get a better seat in from of my television. I've watches so many of those games in the 90's. I remember watching those games when the biggest win of the year was beating the Chicago Bulls. Of course, the bulls were playing down to the level of Dallas. I always suckered myself into believing we could make into the playoffs, even when we stunk. I just had to believe.

I just never could figure out how a team could be so bad. It was just embarrassing.

And no matter how bad the Mavericks were, I still watched more wins with the mavericks than I watched an innings in baseball games. I hate baseball.

MAVS in 6.

**St-T** · 05 June 2006, 05:17 PM

^Holy Shizit, Mike... we agree: Mavs in 6!!!

Go Mavs!

**mikedsjr** · 05 June 2006, 06:24 PM

I hate Phoenix and the ass kissing TNT crew.

Phoenix could do no wrong, no matter how bad they sucked in 2nd halfs. I love Nash and I hate that I hate Phoenix, because he is there, but there is nothing but ass kissing for Phoenix. They acted like they couldn't give Dallas credit. They didn't even talk about the Mavericks. They just kissed the butt of Phoenix after the game. I hated listening to the crew. Maybe it is just I'm such a huge Maverick fan, but the Suns will get killed the same way next year, because Dallas will be even better next year. People forget that Avery is installing his system in a 3 year phase. In 3 years, the system should be fully in place.

Watch out Phoenix. Mike D'Antoni sucks and is whinier than Duncan. I can't wait to kick Phoenix's ass next year too and I will love it even more, except for seeing Nash losing.

Amen!!!!

I agree with you 100%!!!

**Columbus Civil** · 06 June 2006, 10:29 AM

Did anyone get Finals tickets? We're having a drawing at work for two tickets to Thursday's game. I've got my fingers crossed

gc · 06 June 2006, 06:01 PM

I'll be at all the home games with my brother.....working with the stat crew!

**Justin Terveen** · 06 June 2006, 07:14 PM

awwwwwhhh!!!

nice...

**Geaux Tigers** · 06 June 2006, 08:23 PM

You suck!

**Columbus Civil** · 07 June 2006, 12:34 AM

It's better watching at home anyway

**mikedsjr** · 07 June 2006, 09:32 AM

This waiting for Thursday is killing me!

I cant believe that!?!?! You're going to miss most of the game.

gc · 07 June 2006, 05:04 PM

Nope....I don't have to do much.

**DallasAg** · 07 June 2006, 05:17 PM

I'm pretty anxious to see the environment down there this afternoon & tomorrow. The guys on the ticket said it was already getting pretty wild with all the media getting to town... should be fun.

I'll probably stroll over there and get some pre-game pictures tomorrow night. Can't afford to actually go to the game, why not join the pre-party!
