You should have listened to me when I said the Mavs were going to be a mediocre team.

Is this a joke? The Mavs are going to be a good team. What happens if the Spurs go 5-5 in the first 10 games? Are you going to say they are mediocre? I am celebrating the Mavs loss as much as anyone, but come on.

After all the crappy moves they made in the offseason a lot of people were talking about them as an elite team and they're nothing more than a 7th or 8th seed on the west.

They are an elite team.

I've been saying the same since the offseason, tonight's game doesn't affect my opinion one bit.

Lakers, Spurs, Jazz, Blazers, Hornets, Nuggetts are all better teams than Dallas.

[Ditty]

wizards were supposed to beat a team there supposed to beat no suprises here

[DAF86]

What a moron

The Mavs won't get past the first round of the playoffs, do you want to bet?

[Shank]

The Mavs won't get past the first round of the playoffs, do you want to bet?

If they play the Spurs, it's guaranteed they make it to the 2nd round.

If Manu gets hurt maybe.

C'mon sribb put your money where your mouth is.

spurs will wipe the mavs all over the floor this year mavs are a non factor

[Shank]

And the circlejerk continues into the night...

Keep it up, you two dipshits. It's one fucking game and just another in what they seem to do best - losing home openers and starting out slowly. Predicting an 0-82 season?

I already told you, my opinion of this Mavs team isn't based on this game is based on the players you have, go check the comments I made on the offseason.

[Shank]

Yeah, I'll jump right on that.

I'll ignore what I know about my own team and what every knowledgable NBA writer has said about them to defer to you.

[DAF86]

OK since sribb chickened out, do you want to bet? I say the Mavs won't make it past the first round of the playoffs, you obviously think otherwise.

[Shank]

Sure. PM me your bank account information.

[TJastal]

The mavs are missing a key component (Josh Howard), Jason Kidd needs probably 1/4 of a season to get the kinks worked out of his body, Gilbert Arenas had his best game of the year, and they have some new players (Marion/Gooden) to work into their offense.

I think its a little premature to say they are "mediocre"

[AussieFanKurt]

Some gimp thought Marion will be MIP.....

[nkdlunch]

They are an elite team.

what? mavs an elite team? there are 4 maybe 5 elite teams
celtics
lakers
spurs
orlando
cavs (maybe)

mavs are no where near that group

mavs are not mediocre, they are just a "good" team

[Findog]

This is the first of about 25-30 "haha, Mavs lost" threads.

[Ghazi]

Fuckin knee jerkers the lot of you

[Agloco]

if they play the spurs without manu, tim, blair or jefferson, it's guaranteed they make it to the 2nd round.

fify

[Agloco]

This is the first of about 25-30 "haha, Mavs lost" threads.

Nah, I'm thinking we can get at least 35 this year.

[Shank]

fify

Please, son. The Spurs played almost half the season without Manu. Let's not pretend he skipped out the day before the playoffs started. Besides, the Mavs beat a well-stocked Spurs team in the playoffs before.

Let's not get into this round and round bullshit again. There's no point to it.

[Findog]

Nah, I'm thinking we can get at least 35 this year.


There's a better chance of Manu screwing up his ankle again and Timmy being "banged up" again. Spurs fans are jizzing themselves over their team in November. I thought you guys were smarter than that.

[SAtown]

Hell yeah! The first Wizards fan ever on spurstalk! You tell us!

You forget Rapper

[stretch]

whats hilarious is spurfans grouping the spurs in the same category as teams like the celtics, lakers, and magic, and ahead of the Mavs, despite the fact that the Mavs dominated them last year in the playoffs. each team added a very good player (jefferson and marion), and a good role player (mcdyess and gooden).

if the mavs cant get mentioned with elite, then the spurs shouldnt be either

figures though. these are spurfans we are debating with. 3rd most illogical fanbase in the nba (only behind rockets and suns fans)

And they're counting on guys that are fragile as China (Manu) and other guys that have more than once recently not made it to April at 100% (Timmy). A big part of grouping them in with the elite is their recent championship past.

No, it's hilarious the benefit of the doubt the Spurs are getting. No rational Mavs fan expects anything more than the second round with this roster.

they always get the benefit when duncan is around but when he's gone :depressed

[Xylus]

Typical kneejerk reaction thread from a member of SpursTalk.

First game of the season. BFD. Last I checked, the Mavs beat the Spurs last year with a weaker lineup.

you are correct, spurs had a much weaker lineup with Manu out

[DAF86]

No, it's hilarious the benefit of the doubt the Spurs are getting. No rational Mavs fan expects anything more than the second round with this roster.

The Spurs are getting the benefit of the doubt 'cause they got the third seed last season with a much less talented team than this year. Then they lost to the Mavs but that has more to do with Manu and Tim's injuries and matchup problems.

The Mavs are the ones getting unjustified benefit of the doubt, they're getting elite status from a lot of people and they are IMO clearly a first round playoffs team.

99% of the people would agree that Lakers, Nuggetts and Spurs are better than Dallas, most of the them would also agree that the Blazers are better too (with that alone you already have the first 4 seeds) and I think that the Jazz and Hornets are also better teams than the Mavs, that's why IMO the Mavericks are a mediocre team (which doesn't mean bad, it means average or middle of the pack).

[Findog]

The Blazers? The team that won 4 more regular-season games than the Mavs last year, advanced one round less than Dallas and got swept by the Mavs? They're better than Dallas?

[DAF86]

IMO yes they are.

Dallas > Blazers because of the experience mostly.

a series betwen them would be 6,7 games though

you mean the same hornets team that took the Spurs to 7 games?

[Shank]

We're acting like there's a world of difference between the 2nd and 8th seeds, as far as records go. This isn't the Eastern Conference.

Yep, it's Mike Tyson (Lakers) and then a bunch of middleweight challengers (2-8 seeds). There's a substantial drop-off between 1 and 2 (whoever that is), but not much drop-off between 2-8.

umm, no. Spurs are on lakers league. that is my opinion and also the concensus between most of the sports writers/commentators. Even the guys on TNT said last night, Spurs are "right there" next to Lakers.

[DAF86]

Oh well, if Kenny and Charles say so, then I'm convinced. Congratulations on the TNT October 27th "Right There with the Lakers" trophy.

[DAF86]

We're acting like there's a world of difference between the 2nd and 8th seeds, as far as records go. This isn't the Eastern Conference.

Well there is a difference: a 2nd seed has a lot more chances of making it to the second round than an 8th seed.

[in2deep]

Yep, what kind of experience did that Hornets team have?

they had CP3 and playing great. again they took spurs to 7 games. apples and oranges. Unless you think this blazer team can take spurs to 7 games.

[DAF86]

They took out the Mavs 'cause they were a better team and experience wasn't a factor. That's what I'm saying.

This Blazers team could have definitely took that Spurs team to seven games.

I am saying the Blazers are NOT a better team than the mavs, they are pretty much on same level, so experience WILL be a factor.

and my question was about this years teams.

[Morg1411]

YAY! THE SEASON HAS BEGUN!

And while the knee-jerk/circle-jerk threads are quite amusing, I will say with delight that I was thrilled to see both the Cavs and the Mavs lose their home openers. It was like Christmas.

[DAF86]

Well IMO the Blazers are a better team than the Mavs with or without experience.

And no I don't think this Blazers team can take this Spurs team to 7 games but that has nothing to do with what we're arguing.

[tlongII]

The Blazers are going to KILL the Mavs this year. The ONLY team that is comparable to Portland is the Lakers and that's being generous.
