    I think switching up was a terrible decision. Johnson hamstrung the teams confidence, and you can clearly see the panic. Not to mention that Nellie seems to know very well what Dirk can and can't do. Like Dre said, when they have the nerve to put Diddy out there on him at the top...something is just WRONG.

        The Warriors are no fluke - they're playing quite well and the biggest thing is that they're healthy and have nothing to lose. Baron Davis healthy is awesome and until the Mavs can get a guy to stop him from penetrating and hitting shots, they will struggle..

        Have the Warriors hit some lucky shots? Sure, but if you watch the game, they're outhustling the Mavs and in their face constantly. People need to give them the credit they deserve because they've played great basketball this series.

        I agree that Dallas can win this series because you don't finish with the best record in the NBA because you don't have any talent. Dirk did OK, but he needs to step up his game. If not for those last couple of 3's, you barely noticed him in the fourth quarter...he's played like an MVP and he needs to be clutch now because his team needs him...

            Well he's tried using their regular lineup and they were beat 4 times with it, he had to do something.

            If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                Your right, what about the countless other shots all series off balance, jus thowing it up and going in
                They are getting so many clean looks, and if you look at their shooting percentage it wasn't that great.

                  If you slow the Suns down, make them play one-on-one, they have no chance IMO.

                  Guys like Horry and Duncan do help (unlike most of the Lakers team) and the the difference between the Spurs team D and the Lakers team D is tremendous.

                  Amare might make a difference, but his post defense (one on one) isn't anything to rave about. Duncan can still have hiw way with him.

                  It will be interesting if it happens. But I am not ready to say it will yet.
                  Suns biggest problem is rebounding imo. They aren't horrible defensively though nothing to rave about either.

                    Golden State has had a lot of good fortune this series and the opposite is true for the Mavericks. Dallas can still turns this around and if they win game 5 they put lots of pressure on Golden State to win game 6. Remember the Lakers lost last year after going up 3-1 over the Suns. It could happen again. All it takes is one game to change the momentum.

                        I agree - the Suns need to rebound and stop getting into their lapses...as a Suns' fan, I will be anxious until I see them beat San Antonio in the second round

                          Ill accept if im wrong, but you see ive watched plenty of basketball to know a first year team the pressure will kick in.

                          GS is a decent team, who matches up well with dallas however, Dallas is superior and should gameplan against it.

                                Na man. i seriously doubt the Mavs can win THREE STRAIGHT against that bunch.

                                i guess the true western finals is going to be the probable Spurs v. Suns second round series.
