WE'VE DONE IT!!

Yes we! Bay Area fans are the 6th man of this squad. We just humiliated the Mavericks. It's on!! Next round here we come!! Go Warriors!!!!!!!!

Incidentally, as the game was ending just now on TNT, Cuban said something angry to the camera as he passed by. It was inaudible, any lip readers with Tivo, get on this.

Game 1 MVP

Call him Baron, call him B-Diddy. Call him what you want, just call him domination.

Baron Davis in Game 1 against the Mavs:
33 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 4 three pointers, 55% FG, 88% FT, 3 TOs

If we see a better game than that all playoffs long, I'd be surprised.

Reggie Miller: Spending too Much Time with Scottie Pippen?

First Pip, now Reggie's caught the un-retire bug(from the Dallas Morning News):

No way of knowing how serious it is yet, but Reggie Miller could be a candidate for the Mavericks' vacant roster spot.
Owner Mark Cuban brought up Miller's name before Monday's game against the Hawks. The former Indiana Pacers star is the No. 1 3-point shooter in NBA history. He retired after the 2004-05 season, but remains in excellent physical shape.


This one doesn't surprise me as much as Pippen's hair brained scheme for a number of reasons: 1) Miller played more recently, in fact, he's only been out of the league a year and a half. 2) Miller wasn't really washed up at the time of his retirement. Dude did 15 pts, and a couple of 3s a night in his last season. 3) Miller seems clear on his capabilities and role: step up, knock down open 3s, provide leadership for Howard and Harris, hustle on back to the bench. Pippen thinks he'll be running the point, logging serious minutes, etc. Dream a little dream. My only question is how Miller can ever respect Avery Johnson, a guy who's only like 3 months older than him, and a guy whom he once (probably) referred to as a hobbit (midget, dwarf, pixie, elf, asshole) when they were playing against each other.
