Nice Preview Dee. I say the Mavs take this one. It's going to be fun wathing the Bucks trying to contain Nash,Dirk,and Finley. They just can't do it. i also thik that Dirk is going to be awsome tonight with 25+ points and a load of rebounds. I say Mavs by 9.
Dallas always have trouble with the Bucks.He has alot to do with the fact both teams play the same style of ball.Bucks have very good shooters and guys who love to get out on the break. It's a home and home series so I see Dallas taking this one....but Bucks take the one back home.If you like run and gun basketball I suggest you watch this game.
Mavs started out cold.. but are came back to take a 20pnt half time lead. Jamison is leading the way with 12.
Mavs on once agian on the verge of blowing a Double digit lead. Man why didnt they resign bell/williams/griffin. **DIRK HIT 2 HUGE THREES TO WIN THE GAME FOR THE MAVERICKS!!!***
The won by 11 instead of 9 which i predicted. Good game played the Mavericks. Everyone came out played hard and had fun which is essential in getting the W's. Dirk 3's where crucial during crunch time.
Michael Redd played good as usual, him and Mason are the backbone of the Bucks. As usual Nash, Nowitzki and Finley were offensive monsters....I really wanted the Bucks to win.
