Warriors are up big in the fourth. It's crazy to see the team with the best record in the league lose in the first round to an eight seed. Anybody else watching?

Yep. The Warriors are fun to watch.
warriors really played some ball tonight, didn't expect it to be this big of a point difference
I think that the Warriors could possibly win the next series with either Houston or the Jazz. It would be interesting how the Yao and the Rockets match up with the speed of the Warriors.
Golden State could make it to the finals if Phoenix can beat the Spurs. I dont know if Golden State could beat the Suns but I think that they could match up pretty well with them.
Baron Davis=a parapalegic version of god
Seriously, BD would have been one of the all time greats in the league had he not been hurt the majority of his career.
what does dirk equal= over rated...the man can shoot lights out in the regular season but always chokes in the playoffs...i think about three years ago cuban made the worst decision getting rid of nash instead of dirk cause they would have been a much better team with nash, terry, howard, and should of kept finley
Im not sure you can say that. They had Nash and never went anywhere. Nash hasnt taken Phoenix anywhere either and Finley played with Duncan, Ginobli, and Parker last year and couldnt beat the Mavs. Nowitzski didnt have a good series but I think its a knee jerk/media reaction to call him out. Dallas matched up horribly against them. They lost 17 out of their last 20 to Golden State, its not like it was a huge surprise what happend.
People are discounting how good Golden State is too. They had a terrific record with healthy Barron Davis and after the trade for Harrington and Jackson. Golden State raped Indiana in that trade. Of course Jackson could go to jail tomorrow but when he and Harrington are out there on the court, they make a huge difference. Dunleavy and Murphy were garbage.
Imagine if Golden State had been able to resign Arenas.
Never watching the Warriors, I didn't realize how good Davis was. He's great. Steven Jackson was a monster last night too. Matt Barnes is a hell of a player also.
Davis and Arenas in the same backcourt would be amaxing.
The Sixers messed up by getting rid of Barnes and Raja Bell a few years ago. Now that they dont have Iverson, it'll be a while before the Sixers do anything. Iverson seems to be doing pretty good out in Denver, they just need a good 2 guard or small forward to get Iverson and Carmello open shots.
It seems like Philly is better with Miller and Iggy running the show. Obviously they arent going to make a run at the finals or anything but it wouldnt surprise me at all if they make the playoffs next year.
if you took the current team that the mavs have minus dirk and added nash and finley back i guarntee that you would win the championship...the only reason for the suns struggles are their style of play aside from amare all the other role players pretty much rely on the fast offense and no defense style of play and taking jumpshots and if you ar enot one that night and making your jump shots then you are screwed...i am hoping that it is the suns and warriors in the western finals because that would be one hell of a series...they would be putting up 150 points a night
Getting rid of Webber was a good idea. Philly needs to get some help in the draft this year. I think they have a lottery pick and they need help at the 4 spot. They have a good frontcourt with Iggy and Miller, Korver is a pretty decent outside shooter,and Dalembert is starting to become a presence down low. If they could get some depth and a good power forward they would be in there. I think the Wright kid from NC would be a good fit for Philly.

sorry man but youre making Dirk out to be trash or something. The guy is mvp for a reason. Dallas sucked and Dirk didnt assert himself enough but the truth is, Golden State was better at nearly every position matchup wise.
You put Nash on the mavs without Dirk and you probably dont even have as good of a team as you have in Phoenix. Dantoni doesnt get enough respect. His system is alot different than what Avery Johnson is running. Marion, Stoudemire, Barbosa, and Diow are a perfect fit for the way they play. Youll see again though, the Spurs will probably beat the Suns and it will be another early exit for Nash. Dirk has played in the finals yet Finley or Nash never have. Im not really how you can say Nash and Finley would make Dallas better, especially by getting rid of Dirk. Im not sure there really is any basis for what you are arguing here. Last time I checked, Nash and Finley were both in Dallas and surrounded by a ton of great players and never won anything. I guess that was Dirk's fault too [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif[/img]
Could it quite possibly be that Dirk/Terry/Harris/Stackhouse/Howard arent the problem and Diop/Dampier stink. Dirk is the least of Dallas's problems.
