and Dallas will win the series

EarlhamMan · May 9, 2003 12:31PM

Sounds good to me! I hope Dallas wins.

JoeBenson · May 9, 2003 12:32PM

I say Pistons vs Spurs if Chauncey comes back 100%, and if no Chauncey I say Nets vs Spurs

Spurs all the way in both situations

i would want dallas to win, but i don't think they'll make it.

dallas and lakers are the only two teams i like that are in the play-offs. too bad the wizards aren't in it, cause they would have gone all the way.

No way the Mavs make it they can't play Defense to save their lives. The Mavs or Sac will lose in the next round because both can't play D. I hope it will be the Spurs and Pistions.

LOL Dallas, oh my God

but ok.. this comes from a Magic fan (they don't know what it takes to win)
IF Dallas makes it to the Conference Finals, they will fall to either the Lakers or the Spurs period.

so far so good on my prediction

TGray22 · May 22, 2003 2:13AM

I'm still looking good on this prediction.. true, Dallas lost to SA last night but that was a home game, the Mavs took one of those that they weren't "supposed" to win.

consider the pistons nets series done with the way the pistons are playing, chauncy has to come up big for them if they want a chance, and the next 2 games in new jersey, detroit wants to win both of those games if they want to have a series, as for the spurs mavs series, i see the spurs taking it in 6 and then spurs beating the nets in 6 in the finals and Duncan nba finals mvp

JoeBenson · May 22, 2003 4:54AM

what ya mean? pistons and nets are playing sooooo even right now. both games came right down to the wire, both 2 point victories...pistons could easily be up 2-0 right now. only advantage is home-court for nets

phillyfan36 · May 22, 2003 4:58AM

thing with the pistons- cant keep a 4th quarter lead and rip needs some help...tayshaun prince plays better off the bench and how come they arent playing john barry more? hes their best shooter and nail the 3 all day long

Vincecarder · May 22, 2003 5:18AM

I don't know about you guys but I think the ref's were paid off in SA in game 2. Talk about bad calls, they basically giftwrapped the game for the Spurs who almost choked again.

I don't think the ref's will try any of that crap in Dallas because someone will shoot them. They got the split and I"m expceting Dallas to win both at home, go up 3-1....and win the series.

If the Spurs steal one in Dallas I'd consider the series over....the next game will be huge!

McGradyMVP · May 22, 2003 5:32AM

If Dallas wins it all, I will be mad. It would be the only time I can remember that a great offensive team would beat a good defensive team to win a title.

Did anyone see last nights game? The refs were in favor of SA, but one play I died laughing over. Dirk Nowitzki goes up for the jump shot, little Tony Parker doesnt even hit him, and Dirk falls and gets the call.

Also, there is no way that Dallas should ever shoot 50 FT's in one game. They shoot %75+ of thier shots from the outside.

However, I do think the Mavs will win the series. Spurs get this huge lead in almost every game, but they always lose it. They were 1-2 shots away from losing again.

Vincecarder is right, I think whoever wins game 3 wins the series, and I think it will be the Mavs.

have you ever seen Reggie Miller play? he does that ALL the time.. it's disgusting..

McGradyMVP · May 22, 2003 5:36AM

One difference between Miller and Nowitzki.

Reggie kicks his legs out so that the defensive player hits them. Dirk just falls to the ground.

not really, Miller just makes a meandering movement with his body and the refs fall for it every damn time

JoeBenson · May 22, 2003 6:02AM

It's actually a slick move that Miller does. MJ and Kobe both do it. I mean why not? Gets you to the FT Line, smart basketball.

nowitzki · May 22, 2003 9:26AM

Dirk learned that from Karl Malone. How do you like it when he gets nudged from behind and he totally breaks in half? LMAO If the stupid refs wouldn't call crap like that, nobody would do it.

daddy43 · May 22, 2003 3:47PM

I think Dallas first win was just a wake up call for the Spurs. The Spurs should get a split in the next two games. In the second game the Spurs only got four more fouls called than the Mavs. In the first game the Mavs got more fouls called in their favor but you didn't hear the Spurs cry about the refs. It should be a good series. At least someone from Texas will be in the finals. I would still like to see the Spurs win it all.

daddy43 · May 25, 2003 2:06PM

It's starting to look like you will be half right.
