Do you believe now??

I'm still not sure I do. Being up 3-1 against the Spurs was something I never even considered being in the realm of possibility.

But WOW. Best basketball game I've ever seen? Close. Top 5.

It seemed the Spurs threw everything they had at the Mavs in game 3, but in game 4, WOW. Ginobili, Parker and Duncan were incredible. Awesome stuff, they're great players.

But the Mavs have a few guys called Dirk, J Terry, and Stack, who did a little more with help from Devin Harris and company.

How good do you feel if your a Mav fan? That the Spurs threw every single trick in the book at you, every baseline cut, every pick and roll, every Tony Parker drive to the hoop, and a couple of back to back Ginobili 3's in the 4th quarter, not to mention Tim Duncan kicking your ass all night on that low post, and you STILL come out on TOP!!

WOW.

The Lakers recently blew a 3-1 series lead. I have faith in Avery that he will bring that up as an example of why the Mavs need to win on Wed and just be done with it. This series is by no means over. The Spurs are scary. Both games 3 and 4 could've gone their way. (Then again game 1 could've gone our way, and they know it.)

But really though, just... WOW.


7 wins down. 9 more to go....Cautious optimism ahead...
