This is a crucial game for both sides. Obviously this is a do or die situation for the Mavs. Win or Go Home. The Kings have to finish this Mavs team off tonight. You cannot give the Mavs a win on your homecourt and give them confidence going back home. The Mavs are a horrible road team and the Kings have to kick them while they are down. The Wolves will most likely finish off the Nuggets tomorrow night and the Kings don't want to mess around and extend this series. My prediction is Kings by 14. They will run away with this one late in the 3rd or in the 4th quarter.
My Prediction is Kings by 4, Peja hits the nail in the coffin. In the offseason the Mavs finally git rid of their posion.
My biased prediction is the mavericks winning by 1, only for the fact that I need them to win for my pool and Steve Nash Is one of my favourite players. Hopefully Peja won't do what Dee said. The Mavs road playing is terrible, so my unbiased prediction is Kings by 6.
Bad luck for the Mav's hard fought loss. Blown call on the officials when Nash was called for a fould when it was an offensive charge on Christie resulting in a 3 point conversion plus a Don Nelson technical. Sac's just lucky.
Damn I missed a good game. I was kinda hoping that the Mavs would hit that last shot so there would at least be another 6 game series in these playoffs. Oh well, to bad for the Mavs.
A disappointing end to a disappointing season for the Mavericks. They played their heart out tonight yet they still lost the game. Nowinski and Nash had amazing games but unfortunately for them, Bibby had a career game and Miller came up huge. The Mavericks need to make some big changes this offseaon. They have to dump Jamison and Walker and rid of their contracts. I love Finely but he is not giving them much anymore. I hear all this stuff about him being the heart of the team but he still has to produce on the court and he didn't do that in this series when they needed him most. If I'm the Mavs, I must hold on to Steve Nash. This guy is the heart of this team if you ask me. They need to get guys that are defensive minded players. They already have a big scorer in Nowinski and Nash can provide offensively too. Their defense is absolutely horrible and they must address this in the offseason.
Actually I think Jamison is fine, instant offense and plenty of offensive rebounds. Antoine Walker is the choker. Check out his FG%. He committed like 3 turnovers in the final few posessions that Dallas had. Overrated.

Nash was on fire the whole night (although he unfortunately missed a couple of tough lay ups late) and he had 14 assists/3 turnovers and in the last couple of minutes they let Walker run the "point forward"? Kerr said that the Mavs may have been trying to take advantage of Webber's lack of mobility but from my vantage point Walker had been unable to finish anyway the whole night. Shame, I loved watching the Mavs and they were really clicking at times last night. Unfortunately, Dirk could not make a move on Peja to win the game. I definitely wanted the ball in his hands since he had not had a chance in Games 2 (Finley) or 4 (Nash).
I swear he should've just taken the ball to the rack instead of making a jumpshot. Nash could've sliced and diced.

They need some defense, not a 6th man making that kind of money.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting deestillballin:</div><div class="quote_post">Like I said they trade the poison (Walker) in the off season.</div> They better
If walker isnt traded IMO the mavericks will not make it past the 1st round once again. He is definitly the poison to a greatly talented mavericks team. P.S Rudeezy's comments were classic, not true IMO, but classic.
