LA/Memphis looks interesting, but the NCAA tournament resumes tonight so I will not be thinking about the NBA...

Matt

the phoenix game should be interesting.....wonder if Amare will play and how well he'll be.

Jason Richardson is bruning Dallas to a crisp right now. Dallas' guards cant even bother him.

He's got 18....in the 3rd qtr so far.

Warriors lead 88-80.

92-85 warriors after 3 quarters. JRich has 30, 20 of them in the quarter.

Stack must've played a lot of minutes in the 3rd.

Kstat
03-23-2006, 10:39 PM
Dirk is gunning like crazy. He's got 43 to JRich's 32, but Golden STate still leads by 3 halfway through the 4th.

Dirk has 50.

Dallas up 3 with 2:27 left. JRich tweaked his ankle on Armstrong's foot.

Kstat
03-23-2006, 10:50 PM
WOw. refs slobbering all over Armstrong's nuts. He was completely out of position there and he draws the charge anyway.

Mavs up 5 with a minute left.

Looks like Dallas will pull this one out. 35 secs left Dallas up 6.

LOL Dirk pumping his fist zo-style as he goes to the line to pad his stats, then goes out and misses a FT, blows the rebound at the other end, and GS gets an and-1.

117-115 Mavs 18.6 left.

Dallas chokes another FT.

GS with the ball down 3 with 16.5 left.

Dallas intentionally fouls JRich.

They're going to look awfully stupid if he hits both....

.....and he does.

118-117 Mavs 9.3 seconds left. Dallas has a chance to choke some more FTs away.

Fisher from halfcourt its GOOD!

Fish makes 1.

Terry is fouled. 4.7 seconds left. Dallas up 1 again.

Matt
03-23-2006, 11:07 PM

wasn't he shooting from halfcourt?

Kstat
03-23-2006, 11:08 PM
Terry hits the 1st.

.......and missed the 2nd.

JRich for 3 at the buzzer....GOOOD! GOLDEN STATE WINS! HE SPUN INTO A 3 AT THE BUZZER! WARRIORS WIN! WHAT A SHOT!

WOW Dallas just fucked themselves by intentionally fouling.

It was Dallas's fault for playing the intentional foul game with only a 3-point lead.

GS made all their FTs, Dallas missed one of theirs, and that was thair undoing.

If they just force GS to take a 3 earlier, then worst-case scenario it's overtime.

Matt
03-23-2006, 11:14 PM
Kstat.....why didn't Fisher get 3 FT's for his half court attempt? did he clearly get fouled before taking the shot?

FIsher's shot was ridiculous. He saw the foul coming and flung a one-handed prayer from halfcourt and it swished through the net......but the refs ruled the foul came before the shot. The call coulda gone either way, it was really close.

Just highlights. Looked solid in the post but not as explosive. He'll put up the same numbers i think. but i wonder about his super jumps. But they are irrelevent if he can stay effective regardless. And keep the timing atleast. which looked ok in the highlights. but who knows.

The key will be how Amare Stoudamire's knee feels tomorrow. From all the mixed messages that have been put out on the whole situation it sounds like one party wanted to shelve Amare for the year while the other party wanted to come back. I wonder which is which...

Fake Hi-Def though.

But awesome game overall by Golden State. Fisher got a 3 waived as a 2 that IMO should have been a 3, and should of got continuation when he chucked up a 3 as he got fouled.

As if that wasn't enough, the Mavs missed 3 of 8 of the last free throws which left JRich's spin and the leaner 3 to be good.

Dirk-a-dirk with 50+ game but a lost [smilie=5slow.gif]

Dallas has a tough remaining schedule. If we beat them next week, I think that will cement them behind us. I think this HCA race will comedown to us and San Antonio. We have a tough stretch of games ahead, but we do have the tiebreaker - which could be what it comes down to.

No, it was real Hi-def.

NBA TV has a separate hi-def channel just for the games.

Yeah I watched it on the INHD channel. Compared to the version on league pass there's really no advantage in what more you can see, aside from that stupid "low shot clock" beep and shit.

Still isn't good HD like TNT/ESPN or hell even WB20 where they squeeze 15% more on screen. It was just a rebranded FSN Bay Area broadcast with the sound a little offsync.
