In retrospect, seems like it wasn't that hard of a call!
To recap the drama:
Game 4 was a hard fought game all the way. Dallas came out of the locker room with fire in their eyes. Through 3 and a half quarters, they threatened to pull away from the Warriors, but each time they looked like they were going to do it, Davis scored and the Warriors closed the gap by the end of each quarter. Then with 6:30 remaining in the game, the Warriors showed that they can be a clutch team, soon catching and passing the Mavs, 103-99 final.
As I said before, as goes Baron, so go the Warriors. The Baron had a fantastic game with help from the usual suspects, Stephen J, and J Rich. Surprises were that Ellis disappeared, and Pietrus showed he can't be taken lightly.
Game 5: Two ways to look at this game: 1) It was Dirk's game, and well overdue for such a great player. The 2 in a row 3 pointers he hit when Dallas trailed by 9 with 3 minutes remaining was simply fantastic icewater-in-the-veins clutch performance by Nowitski. 2)Chalk up a loss in the Coach's column as Nellie blew this one. Up by 9 points, he slowed the game down into a halfcourt game, and left a key defender, Biedrins, on the bench. You can bet he wouldn't make those mistakes again. Final:118-112, Mavs, who ran off the last 15 points in the game.
Davis played well enough to win, but Nowitski made the big shots this time. Score one for Dirk. Nevertheless, the Warriors showed they are for real, by nearly pulling off the big upset on the Mavs' home court, no small feat.
