I do not care what people are saying. I like your leadership.

Please keep up. God knows where you are. Sometimes you feel

God has forgotten you. He hasn’t. “Do not fear, for I am with you”

Isaiah 41:10. I am praying for you guys. Rally the Guys, pass this

message to them and pray before game 5. To the rest of the FANS

Please this is the time to encourage rather than criticize.

If it were any other team I would probably think that the Mavericks still had a good chance to pull this out, but Don Nelson just owns them. The Warriors might get bounced in 5 games in the second round, but they are just dominating the defending Western Conference champions at this point. I’m glad to see it happen too; my Heat won’t be around to do it to them again this year.

Maybe Mark Cuban is feeling bad that he took a dump on old Don now. At least Mark will be able to focus on his other business ventures in a few more days. Dallas Mavericks, you are the weakest link, GOODBYE!

The Mavericks just weren’t prepared for the onslaught at the Oracle Arena last night. The Warriors raced out to a 89-71 lead after the first three quarters and then they cruised to victory. The Mavericks only shot 38.8% from the floor and that won’t get it done against the Warriors. Dirk Nowitzki led the way for the Mavericks with 20 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. Josh Howard also had a decent game with 20 points and 9 rebounds. Jason Terry had a tough game as he only shot 4 for 11 from the floor. He still finished with 14 points and 5 assists. Jerry Stackhouse had a decent game off of the bench with 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. The Warriors are now up 2-1 over the Mavericks in this series.

The Mavericks have went back to their big lineup and it paid off with a win tonight. The Mavericks outrebounded the Warriors 41-34 and that was a big reason they won last night. The Mavericks also had a huge 3rd quarter in which they outscored the Warriors 33-22 and that was also a big factor in the win. Jason Terry led the way for the Mavericks with 28 points, 2 assists and 3 steals. Dirk Nowitzki also had a much better game than he did in game #1 as he scored 23 points, grabbed 7 rebounds and blocked 2 shots. Josh Howard had a terrific basketball game with 22 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocked shots. Jerry Stackhouse was outstanding off of the bench with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists despite only hitting 3 of 9 shots from the floor. Devin Harris only played 19 minutes last night but he still scored 15 points and dished out 4 assists. The Mavericks have tied the series at 1-1 as the series now shifts to California.

Avery Johnson got completely outcoached by Don Nelson in the opening game of the playoffs. The Mavericks decided to play small ball with the Warriors which played right into their hands. Why in the world would the best team in the NBA adjust how they play to matchup with the Warriors? Makes no sense to me. The game was tied at the half, but the Warriors smoked the Mavericks 59-47 in the second half to win the game. Josh Howard led the way for the Mavericks with 21 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals tonight. Devin Harris played a good game on offense as he scored 19 points, grabbed 3 rebounds, dished out 2 assists and stole the ball 2 times. But Harris got abused by Baron Davis all night long as he racked up 33 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists tonight. Jason Terry had a solid game with 17 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Dirk Nowitzki was rattled by the Warriors as he only hit 4 of 16 shots from the floor. He wound up with 14 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocked shots. Devean George got a rare start and he scored 10 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. DaSagana Diop and Erick Dampier only played 18 minutes between them and they racked up 9 rebounds. The Mavericks better go back to their big lineup and make the Warriors adjust to them. The Warriors lead the series 1-0.
