American Airlines Center -Dallas, TX - That's right I predicted the Mavs would win in five. In fact, I predicted so much so that for my individual class assignmnet, I presented a SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunities and threats) presentation on it. It was nail biting, standing room only crowd at the AAC. If you were at home watching the game, I bet, you were shouting and yelling at the t.v., sitting on the edge of your sofa. Bet you were. If you were at a sports bar, wow oh wow, you and friends had a great time!!!!

Dirk and Shawn Marion (statistically) had the same game. Both had 26 pts

First and foremost, congratulations to the Oklahoma Thunder, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook for outstanding performance in this series. With the drive and potential of the Thunder we will surely see them back this time next year. As the NBA Playoff slogan says: WIN or GO HOME. The OKC Thunder is officially on vacation.

Dallas - Game five tonight at the American Airlines Center (AAC) against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Mavs lead the series 3 games to 1 (3-1). Tonight the Thunder is hoping to tie the game and take game six back to Oklahoma City. It's win or go home for the Thunder.


Coach Scott Brooks, former player for the DaDirk Nowitzki 40 llas Mavericks for two years, after being traded by the Houston rockets.. Coach B rooks said he didn't speak to coach Tomjanavich for three years. " I talk to him now" Brooks says with a chuckle.


" A minor setback for a major comeback" They call themselves the comeback kids. The Mavs beat the Thunder 112-105 in OKC in overtime bringing the game back to Dallas. Wow! what a game too!. Dallas trailed by 15 in the fourth quarter of game four with 5 minutes left. But pushed to go on a 17-2 run to win in overtime. Dirk Nowitzki had 40 points, Jason Terry tallied 20 points. Tune in to your local cable channel for game five. WIN OR GO HOME !!
