WHarris1 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 QUOTE(WilliamTell @ May 17, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) I have to agree with you here. If there is a Game 7, the Mavericks definately have a shot at winning it, but I also think it'll favor the Spurs. I'm going to basically call this Game 6 a must win for both teams. Obviously it's a must win for the Spurs, but I'm saying it for the Mavericks aswell because they won't want to go back to San Antonio to face a surging Spurs team for Game 7. Exactly, if there were to be a game 7 it would mean the Spurs carried momentum from winning 2 straight and are playing in a building they seldom lose in. The Mavs really realy need game 6.

Phuck the Cubs Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Cavs up 3-2 over the Pistons. The remarkable thing is they've won 3 in a row w/o Hughes. Wild finish in San Antonio. 2 jump balls in the last 5 seconds. Mavs got 3 very good shots in the last 2.4 seconds but still lost by 1, 98-97.

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 17, 2006 -> 11:36 PM) Yeah Dallas really wants to have a game 7 against a team that is 34-7 at home on the year... GMAB, if this series goes 7, SA has the upperhand. SA has lost a whole 18 games in that building in 3 years. I'm not saying Dallas WANTS it to go 7....but you act like they'd have no shot if it did. Just remember, in the 3 games at SA so far, Dallas has a 20 point win and 2 losses where they missed a decent look to win the game as time expired.

Cleveland won't win, but they will make it a decent series. Ugh, I should have had the balls to just pick Cleveland outright like I wanted to.

After game 1 I wasn't, but after the Cavs nearly rallied to win game 2 I had a funny feeling this series would get interesting. However, I was shocked the Cavs won a game at Detroit, that was why I didn't "have the balls" to pick the Cavs, I didn't think Detroit would lose at home.

However it's a must win, this is their big chance, because NO WAY they can go win game 7 at Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning that last game is always the most difficult -- especially for a young, inexperienced team like the Cavs. I'd be very surprised if they're able to do it.

All they need to do is pump a heavy dose of Drew Gooden. In all honesty, this has to be Lebron's game to just own. I just hope they dont rely on him too much, ala Kobe Bryant against the Suns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I didn't remember a punch getting thrown. Pretty inconsistant if you ask me. If the league should do something, just give him a fine. There has been far worse that hasn't gotten anything in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 I couldn't believe Terry wasn't T'd up and/or kicked out at the time. During the scrum after jump ball 1 late in the game, he definitely punched Finley and Finley nearly went off, saying "HE PUNCHED ME!" twice before being restrained by teammates. This was the correct move, Terry is an idiot, and damn it sucks for the Mavs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 See all I remember is everyone on the ground. I don't remember anything about Finley saying that probably because I was arguing with my sister who's a die hard Mavericks fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I just saw the video of the so called 'punch' by Terry. It sure as hell didn't warrant a suspension. I can't believe how pussified the NBA has gotten. It's f***in' pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuck the Cubs Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 That was f***ing bulls***. What Rasheed did to that guy in game 5, plus kicking the chair warrents a suspension more than Terry "punching" Finley. And like it was intentional. It was a scrum for a loose ball.

WilliamTell Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Not trying to back the NBA by any means but there is a rule that if you throw a punch it's an automatic 1 game suspension. I don't agree with it, give him a fine if anything but that is the rule and that is what they go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
