The arena will be whited out.

It's going to be a crazy environment!

Can someone post some links to the game or PM them to me. Thanks in advance.

Pop and Duncan did not agree to rest like crazy the last few weeks of the Regular Season, just for him to not show up in the Playoffs. You all can bet your asses that Duncan is showing up. The Playoffs are where the Spurs shine. What the Mavs should be worrying about is how to contain Tony Parker.

This series is all about matchup and Mavericks have an advantage there. Both teams lack centers unless you consider Duncan one. PG advantage is clearly the Spurs, but the Mavericks have the rest.

I believe Mavericks will win in 6 or 7.

Damn, for some reason I was thinking we had 4 games back to back. But we have to go 2.5 hours without a game now.

I'm so excited for this game.

Sad but true, Damp's unassuming, lazy-strong lean, all game long, is his best attribute, especially useful in a series like this.

it is imperative Dampier plays well and stays out of foul trouble. He doesn't have to shut down Duncan, just slow him up a bit.

That Duncan-Russell interview is the most awkward one next to the KG-Russell one last year. What a stupid interview.
