Golden State may very well beat Dallas. But they in no way have a shot of going to the west finals. If Utah beats Houston (which is looking very possible), I'd actually be surprised if the Warriors DIDN'T go to the conference finals. I think Utah can dictate tempo much better than Dallas has (or... well, hasn't). I agree with everyone... this is one of the most exciting playoff series I have ever seen. Baron Davis is making me a fan. And to think... Golden State won game 4 despite getting almost nothing from two of their most talented players. Hell, if Harrington gets going at all, Dallas is done. |

If Golden State beats Dallas it will be the first time in NBA history that a 8th seeded team knocks out a 1st seeded team in the first round. Except for the '94 Nuggets against the Sonics and the '99 Knicks against the Heat. Get outta here I think the announcers are saying that it's the first time in the best-of-seven series that an 8th seed team will knock out the 1st seed in the first round. |

Damn, not looking too good for Denver. If they keep the same squad I think they've got a great shot at getting it next year though.

Damn that the Spurs won. I want Denver.
What I would like to see for the championship is Bulls/Warriors, that would rule.

Rockets/Jazz is the best and most even series right now, with Mavs/Warriors being most intriguing. Can't wait to see what happens tonight at Dallas.

The Warriors were a perfect matchup for the Mavs, and Nellie knew the Mavs better than any coach in the playoffs, and Golden State's crowd was ridiculous in all three of their home games, but....... when you win 67 games, and don't win in the first round, you choked. Hard.
I truly believe Golden State is going to the conference finals. Warriors/Suns would be a hell of a series. Warriors/Spurs...not so much (Spurs would probably wipe the floor with them).
The Mavs just cost me a lot of money but I am really glad to see the Warriors pull it off...that is a fanbase (and group of players) that really deserved some kind of winner.

The Warriors/Mavs series has been one of the best series I've had the privledge to watch in a very long time.
All whole number of things can be said about all the mistakes Dallas made; however, at the end of the day, one must really give credit to this Warrior team.
Remember when people actually thought Indiana got the better end of that deal? Hahaha
