Mavs lost becoz they played Golden State..it was a suprise when they actually lost ..but now if yu look back it is no suprise at all ..mavs did not lose to a terrible eight seeded team ..in fact they lost to a team that they had trouble dealing with the last two seasons including five straight losses going into the 1st match of the playoffs..statistically speaking MAVS lost 20% of the matches that they lost this regular season to Warriors.. so i dont think think mavs are a weak team or OVERRATED(as put by Sleepyspur), every team has a hole and GS exploited it ..thats it ENUFF talking abt MAVS, why are we talking abt them wen today miht as well be the last NBA game for 4-5 months GIBSON and JAMES need to fire today, it was quite suprising to see SPURS win the last game with hardly contribution in the offensive syde frm Ginobli, neither did the SPURS play that well, i feel the CAVS to win today have to play miles better than they did the last game and yu know SPURS are not the kinda team that plays too bad playoff games on the trot
