MAVS!!!!!!

[dfwgator]

NBA Finals here we come!!!

[Petronski]

Who decided "no-WIT-skee" would this year be "nuh-VIT-skee?"

I mean, I'm a fan of the guy, and I understand that in German the new pronunciation is more accurate, but I can't help but wonder...did he make a request, or was there a Mavs press release, or what happened?



Anyway: GO MAVS!

[Young Werther]

I've always believed, as does Cuban, that the Mav's never get a break when officals call their games. When Nash is covering anyone he pushes pulls and otherwise pummels the player. More often then not no foul is called.

That's okay, the Mavs found then bewst defense is a 10 point lead with 1 minute left.

[Terpfen]

Ah, so now we know which team the Heat will win against.

[MikefromOhio]

good luck gaurding Shaq with one legit big guy....

[LdSentinal]

Mavs win thanks to David Hasselhoff.

I mean, I'm a fan of the guy, and I understand that in German the new pronunciation is more accurate,

The name Nowitzki is actually Polish, not German.

[MikefromOhio]

The name Nowitzki is actually Polish, not German.

umm dude look at the name of the person you are talking too. Besides which, it isn't Polish, it's Prussian in origin.

[dfwgator]

The return of "Hack-a-Shaq."

But the Mavs should focus on stopping Wade. Shaq is going to get his points, but if they can stop Wade, Miami will have a tough time.

[zeaal]

GO MAVS! GO MAVS!

[Petronski]

Well, yeah, but the Polish/German border has slipped westward over the years, and the "nuh-VIT-skee" pronunciation just as proper in Polish.

[MikefromOhio]

Wade is going to get his points too.

You've got to find a way to stop guys like Gary Payton, Haslem and Antoine Walker/James Posey.

That's what killed the Pistons.

And you can only hack Shaq so many times.

[BipolarBob]

And you can only hack Shaq so many times.

What? They made a new rule?

[Cyclopean Squid]

That was an amazing comeback win. I didn't think they had a chance. It's impossible not to root for a team with a player who sings David Hasselhof songs as he shoots free throws.

[Sometimes A River]

Dampier will get most of the playing time at center now.

He has actually played Shaq pretty well at times, but this is the NBA Finals, and with the way Shaq is playing, it will be fun to watch...

[nhoward14]

Yeah Mavs!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile... the big winner of the NBA Finals will be....

AMERICAN AIRLINES

Game 1 & American Airlines Center
Game 2 & American Airlines Center
Game 3 & American Airlines Arena
Game 4 & American Airlines Arena
Game 5 & American Airlines Arena
Game 6 & American Airlines Center
Game 7 & American Airlines Center

[dfwgator]

I was just going to post that point. The AA people are probably the happiest of all.

Let the "American Airlines Series" begin.

[dfwgator]

Now Dirk and Nash can go back to partying together.

[MikefromOhio]

you only have 6 fouls to give...

[MikefromOhio]

yeah...

they pretty much have 12 maybe 18 fouls to give on Shaq (if you could Van Horn) but more or less Terry is going to have to be on his game the entire series and Josh Howard can't take any nights off either.
