PLAYOFF OPEN THREAD - Game #5: Warriors @ Mavs - Turn This Mutha Out!

Tiny by dj fuzzylogic on in Previews Comment 513 comments

Warriors: 3-1

Mavs: 1-3

Time: 6:30 pm PST

TV: TNT

Radio: KNBR 1050

We've had celebrities attend the games.  We've also had an R&B sensation sing possibly the sexist rendition of the national anthem ever.  We've also got some hatin' sports critics finally showin' us some love on national television.

But all that doesn't mean much unless we get that fourth win!  C'mon Warriors, LETS TURN THIS MUTHA OUT!!! (Some old-school reference for y'all pre-hyphy, pre-mobbin' Bay Area hip-hop heads.)

Tonight could be the night the Dubs finally win a playoff series! It's been more than 15 years since the last time the Warriors made it out of the first round.  And people thought Kevin Garnett's got it bad...

hammer
Last time the Warriors won a playoff series, MC Hammer was blessin' the airwaves and the country with "2 Legit 2 Quit." Maybe we should bring him back for the sake of nostalgia and goodluck?

The Warriors head to Dallas for what looks to be another grudge match.  In Game 4, the Warriors showed heart and maturity as a team, closing out a close game they probably would have lost if this was a few weeks ago.  Despite a more focused and balanced Dallas team effort, the Warriors looked undaunted, led by the "bodyguard" Baron Davis.  Like their leader, the rest of the Warriors sacrificed their bodies going for blocks, rebounds, loose balls, and charges.  The Warriors know they need another effort like this if they're going to beat the Mavs.  They didn't get 67 wins playing this bad all season.

Bodyguard
Was this the cultural reference that Kenny Smith was using to describe Davis? If so, we know we're protected!

The Warriors will DEFINITELY have their work cut out for them playing in Dallas.  As we've noticed, home court advantage seems to create some insane blindspots in the referees' judgment (see foul disparities in all games for more details).  Pietrus finally emerged from what seemed like a month-old funk to provide some offensive, but more importantly, defensive support off the bench.  As much as Davis is able to carry the team on his back, does it also make others cringe every time he hits the deck on his fearless drives?  As much as we need him, we need others to step up.  The Warriors need more help from Monta Ellis but also TMNHarrington.  We all know that Nellie was exaggerating when he said he would go to a six man rotation, but considering how little we saw of both Monta and Harrington in game four, something tells me he will pull out any game plan necessary to get the Dubs to the next round.

Lets hope the Dubs shock the world tonight and more importantly, make Charles Barkley eat his words (what doesn't he eat?). He's already conceded publicly that the Dubs played fantastic in Game 4 and are "fun to watch."  Maybe he'll even wear a Warriors jersey?  

Vegas odds: Mavs by 9 (as of 9:15am PST)

Predictions:

  • Warriors by 1
  • Ellis becomes the most improved player of the series, going off for 18 points.
  • Biedrins plays some solid D and makes plays that are not reflected in the stat sheet.
  • Barnes, the "UCLA legend," hits three 3-pointers, finishing with a solid 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.
  • Terry punches someone where it hurts the most- and people think Jax has a temper!
  • Too Short's "Blow the Whistle" is the anthem for the night.  The refs make some REALLY bad calls.

Make sure to give us your predictions in the comments before tip off and post any comments you have during the game right here.

GO WARRIORS!!!


UPDATE: Live Box Score from Yahoo!

UPDATE 2: Warriors lose 112-118.

Stay tuned for the recap...

Ill Go First...
I think the Warriors will close it out tonight. All the fighting power of Dallas is knocked out of them. I dont even think there fans believe in them anymore. Yea Yea Yea, Pheonix came back from 3-1 to LA last year...but Dallas is NOT Pheonix, and OHHHHHHHHHH HELLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOO are we even close to the Lakers. The Warriors are out for blood, and I think they will come out real loose, and shots will fall all over the place.

J Rich goes for 30 plus tonight....BOOK IT BABY!!

Let's do this!
WE BELIEVE!

I think Nellie is going to have the Warriors come out full on tonight.  And I think the Dubs know that tonight's game is going to be crucial. They can't let Dallas have even a finger hold.  Step on their throat!  Stay focused, stay composed.  Do what you've been doing.  Don't get overconfident and don't rely on the fact that you can always go back to Oakland if you lose.  Let's show the league that the kind of heart this team has.

WE BELIEVE!

They say everything in Texas is bigger
Game 5 is no different.  No pressure, but still the biggest game of the series.  I actually don't call this a must win game, but a "want win".  If Dallas wins tonight, the media will jump back on their bandwagon and put all the pressure on Dirk for game 6.  

Nevertheless, I'm a selfish bastard and want tonight's game...Nothing like knockin' out a 7 footer when he's on the ropes.  

Go Ws!!!

Mavs by 9 (as of 9:15am PST)
  Daaaam, why do the odds get worse as we win more games?  I guess vegas is going with the thought that dallas will eventually win sometime?
   Me? I'm lookin for monta and little Al to get it goin this game and push us into round two, it's a freebie,  they've got nothing to lose by letting it all hang out!  and I also hope someone picks up the Zorgon role and does us proud at big D?
 Anyone plannin to be there?

What to look for with Dallas
Nellie has to be ready for this:

First, the Mavs should trap and double BD early and often -- even using George and/or Buckner to body him up.  They haven't done this yet.  (Of course, they can't in the open court, but they dictated the slower play in the first half Sunday, and if they can do again, watch out.)

Second, now Dirk's in the position of having nothing to lose -- so expect him to go Gonzo on us.  His play has, thus far, been affected by two problems: Dallas has no low post offense and he's clearly not used to a defense that always switches.  The Mavs will likely keep running him through screens, but have him try to drive immediately -- before he can be doubled -- and either get to the basket or draw fouls.  (I expect the same re Howard -- since Dallas about gave up on driving in game four, and it hurt 'em bad.)  Look for them to try to drive on Jack to draw fouls (and get him complaining to the refs or out of the game altogether); it'll be a real test, and we'll learn a lot about Jack in the process.

Finally, Diop starting gives the Mavs the chance to dictate game speed -- and they'll try to slow it down like they did Sunday.  Nellie can't let 'em.

Nellie's counters: run, run, run, run; get someone who can hold Howard down (and run him hard so his second half exhaustion pattern continues); get AB the ball several times within the first five minutes.  Jack is the best at this -- especially off the bounce pass.  Getting AB started early usually means he plays a great all-around game.

I still expect Dallas to win tonight -- perhaps big -- but if the W's can keep it close, they've shown they're able to finish.  I like our chances if it's a nail-biter; otherwise, we'll need to win at home on Thursday.

An Ode
There once was a guard named Baron
We all admired his darin'
He looked over at Dirk, who'd decided to shirk,
As they both began their preparin'.

The Mavs, as they looked at the stadium.
Heard the yells comin' all down at 'em.
"We believe!" came the call.  "You bereave!" shouted all.
But the Mavericks, they remained mum.

When the Dubs took game one
The Mavs, they looked done.
When two came around,
We all fell to the ground
But game three brought us off of our knees

Game four, what a show!
As the points fell like snow
The Warriors mightily fought
It's a three! made by Barnes.
As the Mavs flopped in yarns
But the Warriors sank the big shot.

What's up for game five?
We'll swarm like a hive!
But will Avery find them a plan?
Doesn't matter, says I,
'Cause we'll stay alive
Even if Dirk is (somehow!) the Man.

Cause Baron-D leads the run
Monta makes this team fun
And J-Rich keeps us all flying high
Stack runs away
As Jax has his day
While Big Nellie makes Dirk go awry

As the Mavs' playoff hopes leave
The Dubs will still cleave
Their way through Dallas's key
On this, vict'ry's eve,
Mark Cuban, he grieves
One thing remains true: WE BELIEVE!

What is wrong with Vegas?
I've tried my luck with anything related to gambling, my favorite game roulette, and i've never had any luck.  

Well the Warriors have been with me since the beginning of the playoffs, and i am now lucky.  Money on the Warriors!!!  Are you serious favored by 9, crazy.

by dangdang142 on May 1, 2007 10:28 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Ooooh, I want this one- BADLY!
I'm sick of the Mavs, their fans, the Dallas sports media, and the remaining few in the national media who keep dissing the Warriors and their fans (anyone else sick of all these "thug" criticisms?). I would LUV to finish off this series IN Dallas. Embarrass them on their home court and SHOCK THE WORLD.

Keys to the game:

  • Like johnl noted above the Mavs will probably try to get Dirk going with some screens and try to get Jax in trouble. Jax has to continue step up and play smart. Let's hope Jax realizes that the Mavs realize they have no answer for him, so they're going to resort to trying to get him T-ed up.
  • Play and think like the Warriors are down 1-3. Nothing to lose. Stay hungry.
  • Watch out for Josh Howard. The Mavs foolishly didn't go to him in the 4th quarter of game 4, but I doubt they'll repeat that mistake.
  • Try to get a big lead and rest the 6 early. Monta and Al need to step up or else it's going to be tough for the 6 deep rotation to keep from getting fatigued.
  • The refs are going to call some horrendous calls. Be prepared for it. The fellas can't let it get to them.
  • Keep driving hard to the basket. The Mavs are charmin soft down low.
Predictions:
  • Warriors by 5
  • Boom Dizzle comes up big on the glass tonight
  • JRich drops 25+ points
  • No tech's for Jax tonight
  • JHo drops 30+ points
  • Devin Harris flops 5 times and gets some awful foul calls.
  • Barkley gets embarrassed on TNT.
LET'S DO THIS!

thank god atma
when I saw the "Warriors by 1" prediction I got nervous, but I think warriors by 4-5 is a lot more in line with the way they are playing. This team is so focused, if either monta or al step up in this game, I know we can win it.

by TheTallLimey on May 1, 2007 1:32 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

We got more
The Mavs are in "the danger zone" we need to come out strong, if we can get up quick we can impose our will and show them once again "the way we swing" if we can do that we will be singing the "same song" we where singin in game 3, if not it is going to be another "gutfest" like game 4.Hopefully the mavs D will tell Baron to "Doowutchyalike" and he can "shake&bake" and "carry the way", But we also need to be "flowin on the D-line"
If we do this we can reach the "higher heights of spirituality" and prove that we are more than just "freaks of the industry.
a few notes from the underground to keep with the old school theme

Tonight...
...is the night. I beleive that Dallas is in for the fight of their life tonight and Matt Barnes will be Game 5's hero draining 3-pointers and rebounding over Dirk (he has lift). I also agree that Monta will finally get his game on track tonight for fear of not being a factor in GS winning round 1. I am so excited today it is really hard to work, GO WARRIORS!!

I like Charles Barkley
After all of his comments and both of us going back and forth with him. I have to say... he's having good fun and he's taking it well. I was listening to a San Francisco Chronicle podcast interview with Charles and he's having fun with it all. My favorite quote was, "If I didn't answer back, if I backed down, it wouldn't have been fun. I loved it how the Warriors are playing along. Like when that warrior mascot threw a pie in my face."

Applause for Charles... and his hilarious commercials.


You'll be back.

TICKETS!
Does anyone have any ticket info on Round 2 (AFTER they beat the Mavs tonight) or for Game 6 (if for some strange, whacky reason it even goes to that)?  Will I need to lace-up my New Balances and do the running-of-the-bulls thing again at 6AM at the arena or what?

i know game 6 will be online only
tomorrow morning(if necessary) so i am planning on waking up early with warriors.com

this will be tough
the mavs could have very easily won game 4, but the dubs had the love of their home fans behind them to help push them to victory. they don't have that tonight, so if the mavs come out the way they did sunday and get another 9 point lead it will be very tough to come back from. hopefully game 4 pietrus will show up and not games 1-3 pietrus. i think monta will bounce back as well. i'm not expecting anything from harrington so if he does show up it will be a bonus.

another track of the day: the game "my turn"

The momentum will take us to the promised land!
The Warriors are riding this rollercoaster of confidence and frenetic energy, its amazing what they've accomplished so far! Carrying this momentum into Dallas' homecourt will hopefully be enough to finish them off in 5. B-Diddy, S-Jack, and J-Rich have been pretty solid throughout the first 4 games, but someone else has stepped up in each of the wins, the last oen being MP. Al and Monta really gotta wake up and get to work if the W's wanna make some noise in not only this series, but the next round, if they advance. I'm pullin for my boys to come thru tonight, but if not, no reason to hang our heads and look to kick the Mavs to the curb at home with the Oracle rockin!!! Go Warriors!!!!!!!
We Believe!!!

My predictions
  • 3 Ellis to the Rims!
  • At LEAST 1 Jordan-esque move by JRich
  • Jax owns Dirk all night long
  • Baron with a buzzer beater
  • Beans makes all of his FT's
  • Barnes will the final nail in the coffin
  • Air France has key hustle plays
  • TMNHarrington will come out of his shell and drop 30+
  • We get to chant from wherever we're watching the game, "WE WANT FOYLE!"

by Caught Backcourt on May 1, 2007 3:37 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I think ...
if the warriors keep it close and make it a hard fought game the Mavs will fold in the forth again. They just seem defeated to me, especially Dirk. I don't think they have the heart to come back and win three straight and i think they know that. If your not going to seal the deal why start your vacation early. On the other hand if the Mavs start out hot and the dubs can't get it going early they might start to believe. We all know how dangerous a team can be when "Dirk Believe Playoff".

Raptors and Nets
Anyone think the booing of Vince Carter 4 years after the fact is a little crazy? I mean, without VC, Canada probably wouldn't even have a team anymore (we all saw how the Big Country Reeves-era ended). I mean, would we really be booing the Murphleavy sisters for that long?

Should be for players that leave as a free agent not because he was traded.

Boo players that force a trade like Webber! But don't boo players who were traded because the team was looking for something better. Only players who leave looking for something better.

Dallas about to get F'd in the A
Remember when the Warriors ended the Mav's 17 game winning streak and a reporter asked Josh Howard if he saw any similarities between the Dubs and the Mavs. He and Jason Terry both had a long hard laugh before answering NO, they saw No saw no similarities.

We'll hey boys, how's this for a HI-LAR-IOUS joke.

A team with the 6th best record in the history of the NBA also becomes the first 1-seed to lose to an 8-seed in a seven game series. Pretty funny Joke, eh Howard.

The punch line will be delivered at the conclusion of game 5. Can't wait for the Dirk-a-tron's MVP SPEECH. Go DUBS

4 point swing at the end of the quarter. pietrus had a wide open lane to the hoop he's gotta cut to it

WELL WELL WELL
Considering that Dallas is playing the game of their lives and that they are hitting everything till now, playing at home, with the crowd and everything... And we are only down 10... thats pretty good they wont be able to sustain this level all game long, then we make a run and win this one!! LETS DO THIS

i missed the opening 1 and a half qtrs....
due to coming back from work...but I made it back to see the Dubs under quite a deficit (around 10 pts).  the Dubs looked out of sync and were rattled in the beginning of the 2nd, to be honest.

BUT...

there was great compusure getting back into the game.  i'll give all the credit to the magic touch the coach nelson is doing there.  i bet he had a heart to heart with his team leaders and players and told them to just go out and play the way the Dubs know how to play.

the quickening pace the Mavs were starting ended up shooting themselves in the foot as the Dubs woke up and began playing even quicker...the frenetic style of play we love and have seen thru most of the series.

The game is far from over....don't question the heart of a Warrior!!!!!!

good comeback from the 21 pt...
deficit. It was interesting because Baron wasn't on the floor and neither was Jax. Hopefully this squad stays gritty and hungry. Pietrus is just being a BEAST!!! I was really happy when Al knocked down the 3pt shot, hopefully this gives him the confidence he needs to perform better. Cmon Al, we need you now more than ever. And Monta, just control the ball! Too many turnovers on Monta's part, if he controls the ball the Warriors will be fine.

The Dubs just gotta keep at it...once they are able to take a lead...it'll get scary (in a good way in the crowd).  Once the Dubs work hard and get the lead to 8-10pts...aww man...it'll be time for the kill.

To those not watching or listening...
momentum shifter in the final seconds of the 3rd...teams trading big 3 pt shots.  Guess who knocks down the last 3 to close the quarter tho? BDidddy baby!!!  The last qtr is upon us...with the game basically even....let's see which team clamps up...

Just play hard, play smart, and play loose Dubs!  The season is on the line for the "#1" Mavs...I'd like nothing than to see an opening 3 minute run by the Dubs to heat it up a notch...GOOOOOO DUBS!!!!
