Basketball: Dallas vs San Antonio - Western Conf Finals

Game 1

Bottom line.........49 of 50 free throws, amazing.

Yeah that sucked.

I'm rooting for San Antonio.

I still say Spurs in 5.

The outcome depends on game 2 I think. If San Antonio loses both games at home they might collapse, I dont think they are tough enough mentally to withstand that.

I'm pulling for San Antonio, but Dallas' offense has looked like its practically unstoppable these playoffs.

btw, Tim Duncans last shot, an airball = yikes.

Well that was much better tonight.

Although the Spurs almost blew another big lead.

Too bad about Nowitski's injury though, I hope he's ok for another game...but I doubt it

It didnt look that bad from the replay but he looked like he was in pain and they took him to the hospital. If they lose Dirk, the Mavs are toast.

They're saying Dirk is doubtful for tonight.

Yup, Dirk in street clothes tonight and they are toast now.

Dallas has to win 3 in a row and 2 at San Antonio to win this series. You can forget about that.

this series is over

I agree, tonight should wrap up the Mavs.
Nets vs Spurs should be a good finals.

Yeah I heard Dirk might not play tonight again either.

What a comeback by the Mavs! Now its 3-2 San Antonio heading back to Dallas. I wonder if Dirk will play in Game 6. If so, this series could very well go 7 games.

I saw on ESPN the other day that they said that Dirk was questionable for game 6, and that he might not even play at all. This doesnt surpise me one bit. I like the lineup that they are using right now though. With nash and Van Exel and gaurds, and Finly and small forward they have a lot of energy this way, but the size along the boards is a factor.

size is definitely a factor, but this team is easily has some of the best shooters in the league.

What a 4th quarter by Steve Kerr!!

Spurs to the Finals !!
