This really worries me as a mavs fan. First we give the Spurs hope with the game 5 win, and now terry is out for game 6. Im feeling a game 7, unfortunately. We can't give this away
If the Mavs don't win tonight, then the Spurs would most likely win. If this happens all the blame should go to Jason Terry because he is letting his team down.

It would definetely be partially his fault, but if it wasn't for him, the Spurs would already be preparing for Suns/Clippers and we wouldn't be in this situation.
I defiently think dallas can still win! Jason is a good player that puts up 17 shots a night, but dallas was none for the depth factor in the regular season, and now its time to utilize it in the playoffs. Remember guys, Adrian Griffith started the regular season, so he can easily step up. Along with Marquis Daniels who is an exciting quick player. And of course theres Stackhouse and Josh Howard. Watch out for the mavs tonight baby! Like Mark cuban said, "I dont wanna come back to that dirty ass water they call the river walk!" haha
No doubt the Mavericks can still win, but the Spurs can win, too. They've been there, done that as recent as last year against the Pistons, in the Finals, no less. The Spurs have the experience, the momentum, and home court advantage. Hopefully, my team can dig it out, but either way it goes, big props to both teams for playing great basketball and dishing out a series to remember.
Jerry Stackhouse hasn't been the same player since he took that 3point shot to win the game and missed it badly. He had zero confidence in crunch time and passed up some shots in rhythm. Dirk Nowitzki was outstanding last night, in scoring and setting up his teammates. He went right at Tim Duncan and you could see in his actions that he knew Duncan wasn't going to stop him. The Mavs missed Jason Terry's offense last night in crunch time. He has the confidence to take and make those big shots when Dirk gets double teamed. The Mavs defense also couldn't get a stop when they needed it most, but I still think Dallas can win in Game 7. Jason Terry coming back makes all the difference for this team because the Spurs can't match up with the Terry/Harris backcourt. Terry is going to be highly motivated to not lose in Game 7 because he'll get the brunt of the wrath for his bonehead suspension if the Mavs don't advance.
Now guys before you hate me, I am a Dallas fan. lol. But honestly i loved the way Dallas was playing last night, WITHOUT Jason Terry !They had a fast but tall lineup, that Spurs couldnt defend! With marquis, Keith Van Horn, Stackhouse, and josh howard! That first half was fantastic! Of course they'll play better with Jason terry in the mix, who throws in defenite clutch shots, and openings for Devin Harris. Now I'm not saying they play better without him, but that Dallas can win without him. Their depth is amazing.
I've got this saying that goes, "If you play KVH, you lose." So far, it's been true. Go, Van Horn! And shape, everyone in the entire basketball world knows Duncan can't guard Dirk, and vice versa. And you forgot to mention the great rebounding Dirk did in Game 6. It was truly amazing. As for Terry, we don't have to contain him. We need to stop Harris, Howard, and Stackhouse, because we know Dirk and Terry will get theirs. Control the boards and those three, and don't let the two stars go crazy. Recipe for success.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Crossover:</div><div class="quote_post"> because we know Dirk and Terry will get theirs. Control the boards and those three, and don't let the two stars go crazy. Recipe for success.</div> Terry has been hittin some threes. But just an interesting fact. For all you Dirk haters out there, and say all he does is shoot threes...this SA vs. DA series, DIRK HAS ONLY RECORDED ONE!! Dirk is showing why he was a MVP candidate, rebounding, attacking the baskeet, and draining those KEY Free Throws.
Dirk no longer relies on threes like he used to. And actually, he attempted one at the very end of game six and came up with air. So, two threes. And I was referring to the three aforementioned players: Howard, Harris, and Stackhouse.
