well it's clear that you aren't willing to give dallas too much credit for a brilliant season and you certainly have a soft spot for the suns, let's see what happens in the playoffs...
well i ridiculed the raptors when started making this run but now you have to admit they are looking serious in the east...they aren't as good as a full-strength pistons team but to put it mildly, they are certainly no first round pushover...
All I wanted to prove............
oh i know his look of righteous indignation whenever he gets called, it's kind of funny, but i don't feel he deserved that 2nd technical and the ejection at all....in the spurs-mavs matches this season, every match has been more or less like this, close till the end, the spurs sneaking through in the 1st, but in the next three, the mavs have nosed ahead at the finish line, duncan or no duncan....
Add to this the fact that this game meant nothing to the Mavs, while the Spurs were still playing for an outside chance of the #2 seed. It would've been easy for the Mavs to take it easy and not show up for this game, but they played with passion. Like Anil pointed out, in all previous match-ups (with Duncan playing), the games have been close. Oh well, enough of the "I don't think this team is really that good" or "I think this team will win it all" statements. The playoffs are coming soon. We'll find out soon enough!
Oh no question the Spurs have played a lot better post All-Star break. In fact, the Spurs just edge out the Mavs for the best record in the NBA after the All-Star game. Trust me, I'm a big fan of that team. In fact, if the Spurs meet the Suns in the 2nd round of playoffs, I would expect the Spurs to beat the Suns.IMO SA are playing much better than they played early/mid season and the Mavs did have to get the monkey off their back after their two straight losses to Suns. It should give them the much needed confidence for the playoffs.
They should also take Tuesday's game seriously because there is a decent chance that they will end up playing GS in the first round and they know that GS matches up very well with them and a lot of times NBA is just about matchups.
I thought duncan got his second technical whilst laughing with Robert Horry on the bench. I thought it was rediculous but if he was provoking the ref over and over then its understandable.
I want to see Warriors in the playoffs this year. I love both teams, but I'm liking the Warriors more this season, although I hate Stephen Jackson with passion
Yea the nba should follow the nfls lead with pacman jones and suspend jackson until he stops getting into trouble
I agree. The way Crawford treated Duncan in that game was utterly ridiculous.crawford gets suspended for railing against duncan...excellent, the refs have things a bit too slanted in their favour right now....
Their whole team basically. Tongiht gonna be one hell of a game between Hornets and Clippers.
As if that was going to make any difference. Clippers deserved to go out, they are just a poor team.
