Must-See TV
I have a ton of blog ideas today -- however, I'm swapped at work...so, they may have to wait until later. Meanwhile, my hope is that some sleeper contributors come out of the woodwork and make up for any lost time...
Anyways, I'm jacked up for tonight! After work tonight, go home and take a nap -- do whatever it is you need to do in order to prepare yourself for tonight's Mavericks - Warriors matchup (Game 6 at 10:30 EST). This series has been one of the most entertaining series (any round) I can recall.
Golden State fans are crazy! And, rightfully so -- this is the Warriors' first playoff appearance since the '93/'94 campaign. They have waited 13 years for this event!! To make matters worse, the Warriors haven't won a playoff series since the '90/'91 season, in which they upset the San Antonio Spurs. This was the last season in which Run TMC (coined after Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Chris Mullin) reigned supreme, as Mitch Richmond was traded to Sacramento for top draft choice, Billy Owens, in the offseason.
In Games 3 and 4, Golden State fans were all decked out in blue and yellow...they swung towels all night long. It was complete mayhem...they stood from the opening tip -- WITH EVERY SHOT WHICH WAS MADE, I honestly thought the fans were about to stampede the court. Such an incredible scene -- I had goosebumps! The only other NBA scene which could possibly compare to this was Arco Arena, when Webber and Bibby were leading the charge...but quite honestly, Golden State fans take the cake (by a wide margin).
Baron Davis (26 PPG). Jason Richardon (20.4 PPG). Stephen Jackson (20.8 PPG). These guys are flying around the court right now. Avery Johnson's defensive mindset has no answer for this dynamic trio right now. The Warriors are winning every loose ball -- and are clearly feeding off of their crowd's frenzy.
This is most likely Golden State's last chance to take home this series -- there is no way they can win a Game 7 in Dallas. However, if they do win tonight...it will go down as the greatest upset in NBA Playoffs history. Not only would a #8 seed have eliminated a #1 seed, but also look at the surrounding circumstances. Entering the playoffs, Dallas was the overwhelming favorite to win the title, as they just rattled off a 67-15 regular season record (6th best in league history) -- and were ever so close to winning the title last year. On the flip side, Golden State didn't clinch a playoff berth until the final day of the regular season.
T - 12 hours until Mark Cuban's suicide watch?? We shall see...either way, don't miss this game!
Final thought (relating to the above photos)...while teammates, how many times did Dirk and Nash "Eiffel Tower" some chick, only to "accidentally" cross swords?? Great ballplayers...but, these guys become complete h-mo's when in each other's company.
