Hey Guys, I was just wondering if anyone has been keeping up with the NBA playoffs, especially now that the Finals are here? The Mavs finally made it to the Finals after something like 7 straight playoff appearances, so I'm pretty excited. They've played the Heat very well in the regular season, so hopefully they'll be able to do the same in the finals. Any thoughts on the Dallas/Miami matchup?

FINALLY SOMEONE IN THE MOB FORUMS WHO LIKES A SPORT OTHER THEN THE WHITE SOX AND HOCKEY ! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU !



my thought ( being from chicago..) i want to see the Heat crash and burn, and have been a huge mav's fan ever since they picked up Steve Nash so long ago. The mav's have Dirk playing MVP ball, he's taking the offense charge for them and needs to keep that up (he's not neccesarily SELFISH but he needs to drop 30+ a game to make up for losing Nash and Finley's scoring from recent playoff appearances..) i give a lot of credit to Mr. Avery Johnson (one of my favorite point guards of all time) for doing what Don Nelson could never do, by giving the Mav's a kick in the ass and turning them in a hard-working ball club that doesn't just soley rely on offense to win games. Kindof like what Scotty Skiles has done for the bulls.



GO MAV's ! DIE SHAQ !

lol, basketball?




Baseball and Football rock!

from now on, i will never speak to you again Nothing.

You guys know im teasing. You would miss my great conversation in the stairway or in the window Lip.

Baseball, what is that???? lol

About time the real tournement starts, right Cross?
(Just a few days now, .............yes it's FIFA World Cup)

Go England!

I know you were kidding about the baseball, but what is the FIFA worldcup? Is that soccer?

To bring this back on topic...

Go MAVS!!!! Hopefully work will be pretty crazy the next couple of weeks. It was a madhouse when the Stars won the Stanley Cup.

Armstrong is a great tipper, btw. He's left me 100% before. Daniels, however, recently left $5 on a $145 dollar tab. That's almost as bad a Scotty Pippen.

LOL, no tippin pippen, lol.

That's exactly his nickname in the restaurant/bar circles. For a man with 5 gold championship rings, he is incredibly stingy with his money.

Larry Johnson (who used to play with the Knicks) is a great guy and a great tipper. He was always bringing friends into the restaurant and treating everyone well and knows how to tip appropriately. He even asked how you were doing and was sincere about it. If there was a waiter or bartender he was used to seeing that wasn't around he'd ask how they've been and if they were alright.
Great guy.

There is a young guy on the Mavs that comes into the bar a lot. He's a reserve forward, but his name escapes me. I think he's a second year guy. Most of the time when he comes he has his girlfriend pay, and last time I served him he let his buddy buy. He's still young, so I don't expect too much from him tip-wise, and never orders much more than a couple of appetizers anyway. But it's odd that who ever he's with almost always pays.

You know, it's probably wrong for me to talk about NBA guys and their tipping habits.
Oh, well.

Damn u, Bar, WTF is wrong with u? Oh wait, sorry, I don't have enough time to hear it all.

Yea, Im from Chicago and we heard all about Scotty's tipping habits. I knew what you were reffering to and wanted to let everyone else know.

good tip or not Pippen was one of the best Bull's ever to step on the court. hands down.





and i remember LJohnson! so many clutch 3 pointers (not to mention that 4 pointer...)



i can't believe you see all these guys ! is the guy's name josh howard? he's the start SF i believe.

Nah, it's not Howard. I could point him out in a team pic, tho.

lol...soccer. I guess i'm going for the team with the white guy in it. (I don't follow basketball lol)

josh powell ? http://www.nba.com/playerfile/josh_powell/...x.html?nav=page



or maybe marquis daniels? http://www.nba.com/playerfile/marquis_dani...x.html?nav=page

I guess it is Howard.

Huh.

i love josh howard.

we share the same first name.

MAVS WIN!

good start, thanks to mr. Jason Terry dumping 32 in.



keep it going mav's !!

Woa! I completely forgot I started this thread, oops!

The mavs have lost game 4, even though they are a superb road team. They' re going to have to step it up and win game 5 on the road. I guess they dont HAVE to, but it would be nice. It would also help if Wade and Shaq start playing like they did in game 1 and 2.
