It’s too bad David Stern’s rejiggering of the playoff seeding didn’t happen for this season, because the Mavs’ brand new 3-1 lead over the Spurs would be just a little cooler if it were in the next round.
Yep, everything is perfect in Dallas. Jerry Stackhouse didn’t even try to blow the game last night, and the Mavericks won a fun-filled game in OT.
We watched this one closely – like from 2 feet away – and while it’s hard to say one team really wants it more than the other in a tight overtime game…the Mavs clearly want this more.
“Our guys are hungry,” Josh Howard said. “Every guy in this locker room wants this bad. And it shows.”
“It’s a heavyweight fight, a slugfest,” coach Avery Johnson said. “Each team was throwing punches. Fortunately, we had a little bit more in the tank in overtime.”
Yep – in the heavyweight slugfest, always take the German/billionaire combo over the Argentia/France/Virgin Island threesome. That’s a new rule we just made up for this year, since every other year, it’s been the other way around.
Seriously though, the Mavs just look like they care a little more. The Spurs can play the “Dick Bavetta is a terrible ref” card over all they want, but the fact is, Tony Parker loves the Eiffel Tower.
He goes there, and he looks at it, and he gets all emotional, and wipes his tears on his beret, and then he goes and says things like “Oooh-la-la! La mancaille!! Et tu la Louis XIV!! Le guillotine! Le guillotine dans la 07!!”
That said, don’t think for a second that if the Mavs were losing we wouldn’t be making ignorant fun of Germany, because we totally would.

I think you meant to say “Los Manos” not “El Hands”
ha how was class last night
All I can say is if Terry and Harris keep playing the way they are, there’s no freakin way the Spurs have a chance to win the next game. Harris is making Duncan look like a tall stationary tree who just watches people blow past him and Terry/Stackhouse are just knocking down those shots! This has got to be one of the best series, in a long time, in the NBA.
Mavs all the way!
Off with the Spurs heads in game 5..
What cruel basketball god puts three or four of the best playoff series in recent memory in the first two rounds and schedules it for finals week at colleges all over the country?
I’m surprised Timmy wasn’t whining about this.
“Waaaaah! Dick loves Dirk more! Waaaaah!”

I don’t really care who wins these series (assuming my Blazers don’t jump back into the fray, which they might), but Dick Bavetta is an abomination of a referee. Old people can’t stay up that late. He’s just blowing his whistle randomly and flailing his arms. It’s actually kind of comical in a ruining-a-playoff-game kind of way.
And it’s stupid that “los manos” means hands and “los monos” means monkeys. “El hands” is an improvement on the language, and improving foreign languages is why I come to this site.
last night was one of the greatest sports nights of my life… yes my life as a sports fan has sucked… GO MAVS
I caught that playoff bug that has been going around and skipped out on espanol last night…
Nice picture Jane.
The Mavs are truely starting to fire on all cylinders and are going to be a handful for any team that has to face them. I can’t wait to see what Cuban does if the Mavs win in SA. I’m sure he’ll be fined(again if they win that night) just because of his passion for his team.
Mavs all the way!
Destroy those Spurs in game 5.
desperate eva was there last night. i think she has an easy time understanding ‘ el hands ‘ or ‘ los manos ‘ and i’m sure after the tiring game , she gave tony ‘ mucho trabahar que poquito cabesa ‘ using her hands or manos. it doen’t matter ‘ . right senora ?
as a big f*ck you, mark cuban probably left with Eva last night.
Apparently everyone, myself included, would rather watch Cuban jiggle around the sidelines than Eva.
What has that billionaire been eating?
He probably just wolfs down thousand dollar bills.
why ya’ll talking s#!t for? wat ya’ll know about being the champs? nutn, so all ya’ll stop hatin, the more ya’ll hate the more we shine! n why say that duncan wines all the time when thats all that dirk can do. Tonights game ya’ll thought u were taking it ya’ll were even playin “we are the champions” when was the last time ya’ll were champs???? big time spurs, were gonna take it home n show Dallas how we ball n make cuban shut his big fat mouth, wired-billionaire-brat.
Go Spurs Go!!!
We OWN Dallas. Always have and always will. Dirk “the goat” (and I don’t mean greatest of all time, more like baaa) wishes he could get a girl as hot as Eva … as for Mark … yeah we’ll be smoking cubans on the riverwalk come monday night.
GAME 7 monday at the home of the champs, who’s taking it? SPURS. DIRK, TERRY + STACKHOUSE can keep them baskets comming but they still aint good enough. n as for cuban i agree with SINCERE we’re gonna smoke ur ass on “the muddy riverwalk”
