Game 1 of LA-NO was a must win simply cause it was a playoff game, how'd that work out for the losing team? Stop oversimplifying stuff.
    LOL don't know where you got me oversimplifying things but ok.

    Games 1-2: Important but not "important:

    Games 3 and beyond: IMPORTANT!!!!!!!

    Does that sound better for you or anyone else instead of calling them moral victories?

      No one's saying "Oh the Grizz haven't won a playoff game ever before this year, there's no way they can keep winning!" No one! Yet I hear about the Mavs choking ALL THE DAMN TIME, when the only time they've done so this playoffs is one game when Brandon Roy returned to old form, the Mavs melted like a candle, and then have rattled off four straight wins since, three of which were on the road.

      I'm just sick of hearing about it. You don't have to agree with me.
      lol no kidding.must have heard Kerr mention the Miami series 987687969876 times during game 2

      during the Portland series, we heard about the Mavs first round troubles 10878767868763224534 times. I didnt once hear people mention the Blazers playoff troubles or the fact that Portland hadnt won a playoff series since the last days of the Clinton adminstration. Different expectations i guess.

        Just to point out:

        Memphis isn't facing the two time champ.
        Memphis isn't expected to compete for a title.

        Before beating LA in these two games, all of the fears for Dallas were justified. They have proved otherwise since then, but it's hard to shake a label when you've flamed out four straight years.

        Like I said, it certainly appears that they are ready to make a legit run now. As far as people saying "oh they might choke this 0-2 lead away", now I think that's unfair. It's clear they are a different team from those other Mav teams of the past 4 years. That's all I'm saying.

          Once the media gets hold of a schtick, everyone else will pick up on it and it will be pounded incessantly whether it's true or been proven wrong already.

          Happened with the Suns and D'Antoni's ****ty defense, even though we were always in the middle of the pack defensively during his years.

          It happens. Basketball fans and media are stupid pieces of ****.

              lol I remember that. It didnt matter if the Suns had 15 steals in a game, the narrative would probably still be "Suns win despite defense". That type of stuff probably kept Matrix from ever being in contention for DPOY during those seasons. ESPN and TNT should just start hiring parrots since many of their talking heads act like parrots lol.

                        one of the things a guy on the local radio was talking about was how a crap load of LA fans always show up to Dallas games in Texas. (Tons of transplants)... I'm honestly surprised that much blue got represented... Always nice to see...

                            Hopefully Dirk can put up 30/14.
