I mean this is just NUTS! I'm not what you call the greatest of NBA fans, but this game between Golden State and Dallas is just off the charts. What does this game NOT have? Up and down the floor, amazing shooting, David vs. Goliath, and all of that... Everything except defense... I never thought earlier this evening I would be watching this game as opposed to the hockey game going on at the same time, but alas, I'm hooked.

I started following hoops in the early 80's as a kid and I have never seen anything like this game. EVER!
 

We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time

They look like the greatest team in the NBA - I'm not sold that this is not fools gold though.

Lost in this shuffle in my opinion is that Dwight Howard isn't even the best player named HOWARD in the NBA... This kid Josh Howard has been the only thing even keeping Dallas in some of these games. If he fouls out, Dallas is done.

How unfortunate that Golden State's 2nd round matchup if they get that far is probably going to be with Houston... *Sigh*... I'd LOVE to see this team go at it with Phoenix for 6-7 games. First team to 150 wins!

Nelson had this same Dallas team playing this way 2,3,4 years ago with Nash.

I'm thoroughly convinced that either way, this may be the best basketball game I've seen in years... ranks right up there with Michigan State/Kentucky in the tournament a few years ago (I wanna say it was an Elite 8 game... double OT where the white guy hit the 3 to extend the game at the buzzer)

And they didnt win anything... This is fun to watch but match this team up with San Antonio they will be lucky to win 1.

Yeah, Patrick Sparks... that guy.

Golden State certainly isn't winning it all... In fact, if they get that far, they're probably getting swept by Houston/Utah winner. They've dumped all of their energy (and 3 pointers) into this series.

16/31 from 3 for Golden State.... it's absolutely amazing that Dallas is even sticking around in this game. I wanna see Dallas win this game just to see these teams go at it for at least one more game, though I have a feeling if Dallas survives this that Golden State won't stay within 20 in the last two games... but perhaps I'm wrong.

Golden State got out of their game when they stopped running.

It's a sin that this game had to end with shenanigans like that by Jackson. Still, what a tremendous game.

Jackson should be suspended for Game 6.
How do you get ejected twice in a series and not get suspended?

Because all he did was clap. Its the equivalent of Tim Duncan getting ejected for laughing at the referee. And we know what David Stern thought about that bullshit ejection.

If he punched somebody, itd be another story. Suspended for clapping? If David Stern suspends him for clapping in the most important game of the season, but fires a referee for ejecting Duncan for laughing, David Stern will be fired.
