    Will The Mavericks Lose The Series Now
    I know the Game 3 is not even over yet, but they have NO ANSWER for GS and I just don't see them coming back at all. In fact I don't think they are going to win the series anymore I wasn't sure after Game 2 with the 2nd half meltdown by the Warriors but they have responded and this Dallas squad just has no answer for the intensity of the Warriors. This reminds me a lot of the Lakers vs Phoenix series last year hopefully it has as many great plays clutch game winner in Game 4 huge overtime Game 6 that would be sweet to even come close to that series. Dallas needs to get their heads in the game and has to find a way to slow down GS they are just running and gunning leaving Dallas with no answers.

    I didn't think GS had much of a chance before this series started, but Dallas is in huge trouble now. They lose Game 4, they're done. They aren't coming back from 3-1 down against this team. GS has made Dirk almost a liability for the Mavs due to his lack of athleticism.

      And I love it I don't like Dirk and I don't like Nash I think they are good players not the greatest in their position of all time and such like I have heard said. Nash has the gift of being on a great team if he is on another team no way he wins 2 straight MVP awards maybe 3 straight. If they where in Iversons position when he won it in Philadelphia they couldn't of even made it into playoffs. If they where stuck in Minnesota they would have less playoff appearances than KG. If they where in LA they would do worse than Kobe has in his stint as the lone star in LA. My point is they are great players, but they can't win games or carry teams with their skills alone. They rely on other good players around them taking the pressure off them they have always had the luxury of that as well if they ever had to carry a team on their own they wouldn't be able to.

          Not sure if they lose the series or not, but they sure put themselves in a pickle.

          If the Warriors go up 3-1, then this Mavs team is finished.

            I'm pretty much inclined to agree with them being in a pickle.

            If they go down 3-1, I'm not sure they're finished but they're in the ICU and Dr. Kevorkian is walking into the room with a syringe in his hand!

              I think the Mavs are done. If they haven't solved GS by now I don't see how they are suddenly going to find the answer. One problem they have is that the extra gear that would normally be enough to turn a game around still doesn't match the intensity of GS. Ironically the names of the two teams express that difference. While the Warriors are cutting out their throats the Mavericks, like a motorcycle gang used to intimidating, are too intimidated to remember who they are.

              In the process Dirk is showing, once again, that he doesn't possess an ounce of leadership, and would be a terrible choice for MVP.

                  I don't think the Mavs will lose this series at all.

                    ummm i have to disagree with u here. nash makes that team. if those players were else where then they would be no where the level they are right now. i agree with u on Dirk he is an ok player on a very talented team. but, nash makes the suns the guy is insane dont see where u have an arguement here?. maybe thats just me.

                      Yeah, I'm with you on this one bigboydan. I think Dallas is going to win this series still also. I don't have anything on it, but I'm planning on making some Maverick plays in consideration of the positive GS groundswell . . .

                        If you remember that team was almost as good before Nash got there instead of losing in the 2nd round which is what happened the year before he got there when Amare as a rookie hit a game winning 3 pointer in playoffs and was showing the star he could be. Now instead of losing in the 2nd round they are losing in the 3rd round yes he is a good player and a compliment to their team, but they already had a good team. If you put him on a team without shooters and players that can hit open jumpers then he is nothing but a dead weight, because he isn't that great at scoring. He is above average, but not great. He is a great passer which is what you need in the PG position, but a great PG can't win without great shooters and players with athletic ability around him getting open for shots.

                            I would of never bashed you for taking GS I have taken them Point Spread and ML every game and had an extremely small bet on them on the series. I think a lot of people kind of thought GS could do this though I saw many post that had GS as a possible trouble team for Dallas especially with how bad Dallas has played against them in the past.

                              Guess the Mavericks run stops after Round 1 as well. Wow great showing by last years two Finals teams it shows how quickly a teams fate can turn in the NBA by a hot team. Way to go Golden State show how overrated Dirk is!!!!!

                                    I didn't see his in any of the post either and went back and looked for it. I saw a bunch of people that had GS to win the series though so I doubt anyone would of bashed him or said it was stupid to do.
