First Round: San Antonio Spurs (1) vs. Dallas Mavericks (8)

[Ring_Wanted]

Haha Diaw stealing the ball, leading a fastbreak and passing for a layup better than half the guards in the league.

[Ring_Wanted]

Another superstar call, this time for Dirk on Splitter.

[Ring_Wanted]

wat

Shaq just called Leonard a bonafide superstar.

[TOO]

Keep shootin Manu, keep shootin.

Love that the Mavs won. Took the boys swimming & didn't get to watch.

And yes, before you ask, I always root for the upset unless it's the Suns or Saints playing. :p

Wowwwwwwww Vince. That 3 was nuts. I remember him clanging so many 3s for us that year he was here in Phoenix. He was so frustrating, willing to half-ass every game when he was capable of more. Half-man, half-hearted. But it's fun to see Dallas doing well and making that series competitive.

[SDC]

this is why 1) i wanted the suns to make the playoffs 2) wanted the suns to face the spurs.

i still predict spurs will win in the end but still...

[carey]

Not watching but checked box score.... trying to figure out how Dallas wasn't getting blown out while shooting 33% (only down 6). Nope rebounds are identical... oh 23 FTAs to 9 so far.

[Mori Chu]

Anybody else watching? Pretty exciting game here in the 4th.

[Superbone]

Too bad Blair got kicked out. He was a real difference maker. All tied up going back to SA.

[Mori Chu]

Boris "Croissant Boy" Diaw was huge for the Spurs. Also, Tiago Splitter's defense on Dirk has been really solid so far; I believe Dirk hasn't had a single 20+ point game in the series.

[Mori Chu]

Watching Game 5 now. Just feels like a Spurs win to me so far. SAS just smarter, such great execution. But you never want to count out Dallas when they can go on big runs.

[Mori Chu]

LOL. Can you imagine if they had won the game on that play?

[Ring_Wanted]

Vince Carter can play really well this sport.

The Spurs are off to a good start tho. Up twelve after Parker made 2FTs. Parker, who shot the worst free throw ever in case you didn't catch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ValCKtedB64

[The Bobster]

Spurs up by 27 in the first half. Dallas defense is pretty much non-existent.

[Mori Chu]

What a blowout. I have to say, I'm happy. I'm rooting for the Spurs to go all the way this year. I would have been really bummed out to see them lose here. The Mavs played them tight but the better team advances.

[TOO]

I too am rooting for the Spurs, I'd like to see Duncan get the ring he should've gotten last year, then retire.
