Mavs win and take a 2 - 0 lead in the series

[engstrom]

What a game! Dirk got going again, Josh played well, and Stackhouse was unconscious. Couple that with solid defense and the Mavs went on to easily win the game. Next up, game 3 in Miami on Tuesday!

Not that it will happen, but wouldn't a series sweep be killer? I mean first time to the Finals and we sweep it.

Well, either way, something tells me that on the last game everyone of us need to be out on the streets in Dallas. They'll probably be rioting like crazy to celibrate. I think it is stupid as hell, but we might as wel try our hand at photojournalism for the event.

A sweep would be great! I doubt it will happen too but I would love to see it!

[Rahb]

the sweep or the riot lol

Problem is, if we loose there may be a riot......same if we win.....some fans are horrible when it comes to their sport.

Look what happened to Denver BOTH years they won the superbowl.

[JPalmer]

The Mavs are clearly the better team here and I'd even say the Heat are the fourth best team the Mavs have played this playoff run....behind San Antonio, Phoenix and Memphis.

I'd be shocked if it weren't a sweep.

[Ray]

No way it's a sweep. Heat is a good team, they just haven't shown it in these 1st 2 games. Memphis? C'mon. San Antonio I'll buy, but not Phoenix and no way in hell Memphis.

[engstrom]

I'm hoping for a sweep but before this series started I was saying Mavs in 5 and I still stick with that prediction. I think they'll be a different team in Miami but unless they're way better I don't see much of a problem.

[Rahb]

Don't get me wrong..I'm not arrogant about it......They have been potentially close games. I mean last night the lead went from 27 down to 12.....that's a big jump.

[Sonny]

Don't forget in the previous two series...Dallas has been down by 15+ points on more than one occasion by lesser teams. They are just hot right now!

[AndrewCCM]

Oh.. Man.. Imagine Phoenix playing Heat... There is NO WAY the Heat could stay up with them. Not saying that the Heat aren't a good team, but it's all match ups...and the Heat do not matchup well with Dallas or the Suns. I actually think SA vs. Miami would be a closer series. Anyway... I am a HUGE NBA fan... I am in hopes that Dallas shows some class and shows the rest of the country how we celebrate down here in Texas. For those that riot, it has nothing to do with sport in my mind, just gives certain people an additional excuse to be a jacka$$.

Loving the playoffs!

A sweep would be sooooo AWESOME! I would love it, but I think it will be the Mavs in 7, Mark Cuban needs more money:)

You nailed it - just an excuse to riot!

[Ray]

Houston and San Antonio never had any problems, why is everyone so worried about Dallas?

That was my point. :)

[Rahb]

I would love it if people would show class.....BUT, think back to the Cowboys winning the superbowl.....mild riots.....look what happened to denver in the late 90's. I'm just saying, the possibility is there. Some of these fans that are diehard fans that I have ran into have been CRAZY. And I mean the ones here at Lew Sterret being brought in because of bar fights and such.

I personally am not a Mav's FAN, I enjoy the games andhope they win, but i'm not a fan. I tend to care more about football. Some of these people are over the top though. Well, here's hoping for the best......but from a photojournalism point of view (not that i am one), wouldn't the worst be a better photographic opportunity. LOL

(BTW I am joking, a victory celebration photo op would be better then a riot or chaos, but you have to admit the chance to actually shoot one isn't knocking on the door every day.
