Playoff Preview: Mavericks vs. Warriors

by Richard

Our regularly scheduled poker-related posts will be back Monday. I apologize for this, but I’ve been rooting for the Golden State Warriors for the last ten years and they’ve finally made the playoffs, so I feel that they deserved a post in anticipation of Sunday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks.

I’m at a loss for words to express how excited I am about the playoffs. But here’s a video that expresses my excitement and anticipation. Here is a playoff preview video and another video of Jason Richardson and Baron Davis highlights. Both were made by Five Ten Entertainment.

The videos are awesome and after watching them, I just feel more pumped up about Sunday.

    My appologies about calling for a sweep of your boys, the Warriors, I guess I wasn’t giving them enough credit considering they proved me wrong in game one. But hey, consider my track record when it comes picking winners - I’ve picked the Phillies to win the NL East for the last fifteen years.

    No problem, man. I didn’t take offense or anything. Dallas is definitely the better team. But I hope Barkely is wrong when he said that Dallas would sweep the next 3 games.

    Dallas has surprised me. I thought they’d play better than they have. Howard and, to a certain extent, Harris have been the only ones playing tough. I wish GS had Howard on their team. He’d be a perfect fit at PF, especially if he can improve his 3 point shooting, which is decent.

    Jackson has anger management problems, but you can’t really fault him for his passion for the game. He’s a gamer. Artest is just crazy.

    I expect Dallas to comeback and win this series, but if they get blown out again in game four, then it’s probably over.
