Dirk should win the MVP, but if the voters factor in this series, he stands no chance.

 

I think the voters turn in their ballots before the playoffs start.

I'm not a Golden State fan, but I really wish I was at one of those two games, this crowd is INTENSE.

 

My old college roommate is at the game, I can't wait to hear what it was like.

 

ETA: Apparently they showed him in the crowd on TNT right after Baron's midcourt shot!

Wow, I can't believe I missed this game. For some reason, I thought it was tomorrow night.

 

Congrats to Golden State. I'm just hoping they don't pull a Lakers from last year and blow a 3-1 lead (which is a realistic possibility).

They won't. Dallas came into this thinking they could walk right through this team, and now they are screwed. Dallas might send this 6 or 7, but there's no way they win it.

This is just like last year. The key game for Golden State will be Game 6. I think Dallas will come out fired up at home and will win Game 5 to send it back to Oakland. Golden State will have their chance to win the series at home and if they blow it, there's no way they go back to Dallas for a Game 7 and win. If Dallas sends it to 7, they will win the series.

I agree with that, although Dallas could possibly lose game 5. I don't see it happening, but it could.. But I definitely agree, if Dallas comes back to win game 5 and game 6, there's no way I see them losing game 7. Kind of like the Cubs in 2003. After losing game 6, you just kind of had a feeling that the series was over before game 7 even started.

Yeah, I could see Dallas losing game 5. The only problem is the Warriors were abysmal on the road this year so I have my doubts.

 

As for the Game 7 thing, after the Lakers lost Game 6, I predicted they would lose Game 7 by at least 15 points. They were down 15 at halftime and lost by 30.

I'm amazed at Dallas poor play so far, and for a while I was a tad nervous they could challenge my Bulls 72 win season record.

 

That's the thing. I think the problem is that they clinched so early that the competitive edge you need in the playoffs isn't there now and hasn't been for awhile. They have come in just expecting to walk all over the Warriors, and like many predicted, they have looked flat. This team reminds me of 2005-06 UConn men's team, or last year's (i think?) Pistons team. Incredibly talented, more than likely the favorites to take home the title, but incredibly lackadaisical with what looks like no interest in playing.

I really like Matt Barnes.

 

And Lebron James is disgusting. He's going to hit his prime in 4 years or so and just be unstoppable. Ten years ago, he would have been in college, averaging 40 points per game.
