The Pirates ownership is mediocre, and they aren't selling. The Pens are up for sale.)

The reffing was just... infuriating. 8.5 seconds left. Spurs up by two. Bowen on Nowitzki. Dirk is literally pushing Bowen backwards with his hand (shoulder dropped too by the way). After Bowen is pushed back about four feet, they call the foul on Bruce Bowen (First-team, All-defensive team... AGAIN) with 8.5 seconds left? Are you kidding me? I won't even talk about Ginobili's 6th "foul." I don’t know what game ya’ll were watching, but that was horrible. The reffing was just… infuriating. 8.5 seconds left. Spurs up by two.

Was a great game all around. I unfortunately can only get into basketball during the playoffs, but I do enjoy games like this.

The Mavs and the Spurs are pretty evenly matched--and, indeed, the Mavs have been better than the Spurs. Bryan, If the Mavs win, I will pull for them to win the rest of the way, but the Spurs are my team, so I can't get excited about the idea of them taking a second-round exit! ;) The Suns did it against the Lakers this year, but the Suns were the better team.

Bryan,

If the Mavs win, I will pull for them to win the rest of the way, but the Spurs are my team, so I can’t get excited about the idea of them taking a second-round exit! ;)

But heck, if the Red Sox can come back from 0-3 to beat the Yanks, anything is possible. Go Spurs!

I admit that when they first drafted Nowitzki with their top draft choice, I thought Don Nelson should be committed. Shows how much I know. That was a good game, even if San Antonio had won. I hope this is the Mavs' year. As much as I like the Spurs, I like the Mavs more, especially Mark Cuban’s in-your-face ownership style.
