Last nights Mavs vs Thunder game was hard to watch if your a Thunder fan for sure. How you can be up by that much and figure out a way to lose is beyond me. It reminds me of the way the Mavs have played in the playoffs the last few times they have been actually. Its definitley a reflection of their inexperience I think and inexperience to be able to put a team away. There was no excuse to lose this one imo. One thing I noticed they improved on was getting the ball to Durant more but doesnt pay when you cant close.

As far as the game tonight im again going to go out on a limb and say the Bulls win. We'll see what they are capable of when their back is against the wall. I dont think their is any better strategy than what they already have previously done. They just need to execute and capatilize on the oppurtunities they are given. At any rate should be another good game as the previous one have.

Artest got the wrong guy. It was actually the guy in the blue shirt and white cap that was holding him back. That guy even admitted it publicly a few days afterwards.

However that fat guy deserved that asswhooping.

Yep he got the wrong guy. Imagine being that dude and seeing huge Ron Artest coming at you full speed lol, I'd be scared shitless. Actually 2 years ago, my room mate and I were high as hell watching ESPN on the anniversary of the Artest brawl and they had the guy who actually threw the beer on the phone live. And it was hilarious because the ESPN guys kept trying to ask him about how him and Artest have made up over the years and he kept talking about how drunk he was at that game and how he was a raging alcoholic and stuff. But he finally stopped rambling to answer some questions and said that him and Ron still talk occasionally.

First off, Ron is one of the few real legit thug-street guys out there. He's from the Queensbridge projects and it often comes through in his erratic and crazy behavior, even in interviews sometimes. He's just a completely raw person who plays basketball. And secondly, he's at his job and gets a beer thrown on him while tempers are already heated due to the on the court play. So I don't excuse what he did completely but I do understand it. I know nobody is really arguing here but I just wanted to spill some thoughts because sometimes I hate Artest and sometimes I love him.

Still no cable... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!! But Mavs are going to the finals, and I think the heat will too. Should be a great one to watch!

Wow.... yeah thats even worse it was the wrong guy. That dude should have pointed at the guilty party or something. Surely he knew who threw the cup of beer man lol. Oh well its all done, and over with now and water under the bridge. You would think this would serve as a reminder to the fans and league of the potential outcome some behavior has. Things like this is what happens when fans dont restrain themselves, and arent policed like they should be by the appropiate ones in charge. Along with the Noah incident, and many other not so extreme incidents as well. Sometimes their handled with class by players but sometimes well.....not so much lol.

Anyway the Mavericks clinched their chance to play in the finals. Congratulations to them for at least giving Dallas something to cheer for. Obviously our Cowboys arent capable of winning a playoff game in...well....years now. Maybe a Mavs finals victory will ease the pain for some them. More than likely they're going to face the Heat and I cant figure out who I wanna see win. Its literally of no significance what so ever to me cause I wasnt including myself in my previous statment. (meaning Cowboys are the only Dallas team I like) When the Rangers made it to the world series last year I rooted for the Giants just to irritate all the Ranger fans around. Either way good luck to both The Heat and The Mavs and whoever wins. I just hope its an enteraining and fun series to watch.

The players are human beings. They are not supermen, as the media sometimes ludicrously expects them to be, who's sole purpose is to dance like a puppet on a marionette to only amuse us and then live the most perfect life imaginable so we can oogle at them some more via the paparazzi.

Your a basketball fan from the Dallas area (I believe) yet you don't root for the Dallas team. Very peculiar.

However I understand you with baseball. I root for the Yankees in order to piss all the Met fans off.

Enes Kanter skips interviews with 3 lottery teams - CBSSports.com

I really wish Enes Kanter becomes a flop so I can laugh. He thinks he is freaking Lebron James or something. What moron would tell two lotto teams (Bucks, and Raptors) to basically fuck off?

Come to think of it, the Raptors and Bucks have gotten **** from players before. I remember Yi Jianlan complaining about Milwaukee and do we really want to chronicle the cases of big time players avoiding Canada like the plague.

It seems like many euro players do that(IE: Rubio).

American players also do that (Steve Francis's dislike for Vancouver started to ball rolling for that franchise to go to Memphis).

However I find myself more sympathetic to Rubio. Maybe that's because Kahn was planning on amassing a team of Point Guard Allstars where he would be the center.

Fuckin Kahn... That Rubio draft was so terrible, I can't even describe. Rubio will never come to the NBA because he seriously sucks. Hell, I would have known not to draft him from his Youtube vids alone. It's a shame for Wolves fans and for Kevin Love to know that he will never be on a competititve team in Minnesota.

Heat VS Mavs WHO YA GOT

I got Heat in 6. Heat go up 3-1, but Mavs win a desperate game 5. Heat realize they can't let Mavs have momentum in game 7 and they run over Dallas in Game 6. That's my prediction!

debaserr · 05-27-2011, 02:21 AM

should be a great series. I previously picked the mavs, but I'm not so sure. if wade averages 22+ppg, I see the heat taking it, if not, mavs.

I really hope it goes 7.

EDIT: why do we have to wait until tuesday for the finals? silly nba.
