I'm fired up for tonight's battle between Dallas and Golden state. The Warriors with a chance to make history. They can be the first 8 seed to beat a 1 seed in a 7 game NBA playoff series. The Mavericks hoping to avoid being embarrassed.

We've been talking about the series in the office and it's been a whole lot of fun.
I just noticed on ESPN, that they were asking the question, who is facing more pressure...Dallas, because the Mavs have no room for error...or Golden St. because they need to win at home. There is pressure on both teams. I think it's going to be another great playoff game....and who makes the shots and executes should win the game.

In game five, the Warriors built a 9 pt lead with about 3 and a half minutes to go.
They were making shots...most of them threes...and Dallas was struggling offensively. Then Dirk Nowitzki stepped up. Dirk will most likely win the MVP for the regular season. He buried a three...a short while later blocks a layup by the Warriors...and then buries another three. G.S. missed a shot and Dallas scored again. Dallas went on a 15-0 run to win the game.

Making plays and executing. That's one of the big reasons the Bulls won all those Championships. Jordan at the buzzer....Jordan for three...Pippen slam dunk.

Should be fun....OT anyone?
