I actually like the Mavs. I think they just got to cocky this year. They started to act like they were better than everyone. Losing by 21 now with 7 min to go.

I LOVE IT!!! All that talk about their great regular season record, I GOTTA find the post I made about their record and the playoffs a couple months ago...

Edit: I found it, way in the Mavericks deal Lakers worst home loss ever. Add another record to the 07' Mavs. thread.
Heh, with all this head of steam they got, watch em fall flat on their face in a 7 game series...Eman5805
Dude, Mark Cuban is one of the best owners in the game. I wish more executives cared half as much as he does about his fans, team and sport.
But still, how bout them Warriors?? That third quarter was just crazy. S-Jax was unconsious. Baron hititng threes on one foot. Lock down defense while the Mavs go ice cold. They deserved to win no doubt, they were the better team and Nellie is one of the more innovative coaches out there. I donno what system they were running, it was like NBA caliber street ball with solid team defense and no centers. But it worked, my hats off to them. I picked the Mavs, I was wrong but damn that was a fun series.
You picked the Mavs? Why? The Mavs have been playing good all season and they beat every team except for the Warriors who crapped on them 3 times this regular season, before the playoffs started experts had the Mavs in five, I was thinking wow what are they smoking on maybe I should be an expert analyst because what they are saying doesnt make sense. The Warriors had the Mavs number all year long and even though they were the 8th seed it wasnt an upset they were supposed to beat the Mavs if Mavs had beat them then that would be the upset because the Mavs has not beat them in the regular season in two years. If the Suns beat the Spurs and the Warriors beat whoever they face next then I would put my money on the Warriors to take it to the finals because they whooped on the Suns all year long also.
One more thing why is everybody riding the Mavs so hard if they would have faced any other team in the first round they would have been a shoe-in to advance but they were unfortunate enough to get the only team who has their number in the first round which is the Warriors who before this series hasnt beaten the Warriors in about 2 seasons. The Warriors don't play conventional style ball they are just cold, and trigger happy pulling 3 pointers and running allover the court at blinding speeds . It would almost seem that this team was designed for the sole purpose of beating the Mavs(mid-season pick-up of Mav killer Stephen Jackson) . I won about $700 because the odds were against the Warriors when I know it really should have been the other way around, when it was the last month of the regular season the Warriors had the toughest schedule and they still ran through teams like the Jazz,Rockets,Suns,and Mavs, just ran through them like a cheap date, including the first round their record for april and may is 13-3 which means that this team is hot and will make alot of noise in the playoffs.

History has shown that regular season results between playoff teams doesn't mean anything. Me and countless others though the Mavs could win because they were a 65+ win team, the top seed in the league, healthy, plus they made it to the finals just last year. The fact they were playing the Warriors instead of the Clippers shouldn't have mattered, they were expected to come out of the first round.
It's not a slight on Golden State at all, they made NBA playoff history and deserve all the credit for it, it was amazing. But you're wrong in saying the Mavs should have been expected to lose and this wasn't an upset.
