Spurs fans, your team hasn't won anything yet.

[Jacob1983]

I give the Spurs props. They have wanted to win way more than the Mavs and that's been the difference. They have confidence and a fire in them. However, this is the first round. I mean it's good to get the 2nd round but Spurs fans should realize that the 2nd round isn't the championship. You don't want to wind up like the bandwagon Warriors fans in 2007. They acted like the Warriors had just won the NBA championship and then they were ass raped by the Jazz in 5 games in the 2nd round. The Spurs have been great but this is only the first round. Enjoy it now but then move on. Getting to the 2nd round shouldn't be a big deal to Spurs fans in my opinion. Just sayin'.

:lmao thanks for your concern

[BlackSwordsMan]

just 3 wins

[mystargtr34]

I agree. The Spurs were in the exact same situation in the 2006 series. Down 3-1, went back home and won, and put all the pressure on Dallas and stole Game 6 and levelled it at 3-3. Then anything can happen in a Game 7.

Series aint over. When it comes to the Mavs against the Spurs, I wont be comfortable until the Spurs win 4.

[Cry Havoc]

I'm really afraid of the Suns. We don't have anyone that can break Nash down on offense.

Isn't this the way mav fans act when they beat the spurs?

[admiralsnackbar]

Coming from a Mavs fan, this thread is rich.

[Jacob1983]

I can't predict the future but I would say it's probably 50/50 that the Spurs will get to the Finals this year. I would predict a loss for them if they wind up playing the Magic or Cavs in the Finals this year. I have no idea if the Spurs will get ass raped by the Suns or Blazers. I would think that the Suns would give the Spurs more of a challenge in the 2nd round than the Blazers would. Just my opinion. The playoffs in the West have been somewhat crazy so far. Two higher seeds are on the verge of going home and the other two series are going to go to at least 6 games. It's very possible that all of the lower seeds could make it to the 2nd round in the West. Personally, I would love to see that. It would be cool to see all lower seeds in the 2nd round in the West.

In 2006, it was a big deal when the Mavs beat the Spurs because the Mavs finally beat their arch rival in the playoffs. It was something to celebrate. And for a long time, getting to the 2nd round was an accomplishment for the Mavs given their history. What I was trying to point out by making the thread was that Spurs fans shouldn't be making this a big deal because they are use to seeing their team win championships. I guess now, you could say getting to the 2nd round is an accomplishment for the Mavs given their recent playoff crapouts.

[Halberto]

Dude you're confused. We know that, we aren't mavs fans.

[Chucho]

I'm really afraid of the Suns. We don't have anyone that can break Nash down on offense.

Why the fuck should the Spurs fear a team they have completely f'd in the a three times in the playoffs, including when Nash was at his all time best? There's not more ownage in playoff history than that of the Spurs' of the Suns.

[Otaku]

Spurs fans, your team hasn't won anything yet.

Au contraire.

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

You're trying to tell us when to celebrate? We have some experience in that matter. We know that beating the Mavs is simply part of the job they Spurs have to do, but god damn if you fucking dipshit Mavs fans don't make it a little bit sweeter than any other first round win.

[Spurminator]

So you're saying we shouldn't schedule a parade yet?

[monosylab1k]

After seeing a thread like this, sometimes I hate being a Mavs fan.

correction: just about all the time, I hate being a Mavs fan.

That's encouraging you even give us 50% odds on winning the ring, but understand that the reaction to tonight's win has nothing to do with our believing we're in striking-distance of the Larry yet and everything to do with the behavior of the Mavs fan base this past year.

Of course we haven't won anything (we haven't even won the series, for god's sake), but after a year of twits bragging about beating our hobbled squad last year, it is immensely satisfying to beat the Mavs tonight, and to have you down 3-1.

[mookie2001]

The mavs actually have the advantage in the series

[admiralsnackbar]

[Jacob1983]

My odds about the Spurs that I had posted earlier in this thread were for them to get to the Finals. I still think it's 50/50 for them to get to the Finals. I would give them between 30-40 percent chance of winning the championship this year. I have my reasons. The Cavs and the Magic are beasts in the East. Unless something crazy happens, one of those will be in the Finals this year representing the East. The Spurs would not have have homecourt advantage in the Finals if they play the Cavs or Magic. The Spurs have always had homecourt advantage every time they won the NBA Finals. It would be interesting to see how that affects them. Homecourt advantage is important in the Finals because it's 2-3-2. And I'm pretty sure the Spurs have historically had an amazing home record in the Finals. Without the homecourt advantage, they will play fewer games at home. Another reason why the Spurs would be in trouble in the Finals is that the Cavs and Magic are better teams on paper than the Spurs are.
Not a lot of Mavs fans can give props to the Spurs. I can because I can respect winners as long as they aren't cocky and arrogant like the Lakers and Celtics. I may not like the Spurs but I respect them because they're winners and put together a nice string of championships in the last decade.

Holy shit - this might be the most pathetic post Ive ever seen on Spurs talk.

[Sec24Row7]

Funny.. I celebrated harder beating the lakers in 03 than I did the nets...

OF course nothing was as good as 99...

maybe someday you will understand.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

You honestly believe Pop or anyone else gives a flying fuck about homecourt advantage? If you're good, you can win anywhere, and when the Spurs' playoff (and Finals) tested core runs into a hostile environment, they're professional enough to the point where they just go about their business--and the rest of the team follows suit.

As far as the Finals go, I've always said that the 2-3-2 format actually favors the team WITHOUT homecourt. Think of the '04 Finals--once Detroit stole one in LA, they knew all they had to do was hold serve, and the title was theirs. That's a HUGE psychological advantage. Even in a series where the home team holds serve through 5 games, the team with the better record is the one staring at a 3-2 deficit and a must-win game, even if they're at home.

Man, I should have posted this same post last year when the Mavs beat the Spurs, but with a Spurs fan prespective.

[boutons_deux]

Mavs were the best road team this season, and are now 02 in SA, and very probably will be 0-3.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

The original poster is absolutely correct. The Spurs haven't won anything yet.

The difference is, the Spurs understand that. They don't expect anyone to give them anything. And they are not asking anyone for "respect", for the refs to change the way they call games, for the fans to act differently, for their teammates to play differently, nothing. No excuses, no early celebrations, no complaints, no egos, no second guessing.

The thing is, for the warriors that WAS their championship.

[Budkin]

Actually we've won 4 championships dude.

[Jacob1983]

The team your root for has won 4 championships. You, individually, have won none. And yes, I know that the Mavs have no championships. Actually, I think Pops would give a fuck about homecourt advantage because all of his teams in the Finals had the homecourt advantage and it helped the Spurs. You're gonna tell me it didn't? The Spurs would have lost in 2005 if the Pistons had the homecourt. It would be a new experience for the Spurs in the Finals this year if they do make it.

[cherylsteele]

How many sports teams does San Antonio have again?
San Antonio's one sports team has won almost as many titles as 4 of Dallas' teams put together.
Cowboys have 5
Stars have 1

The Spurs have 4 going on 5 hopefully, as a pro team and number of teams for the 2 cities and titles go. I'd say San Antonio isn't doing too bad in that regard.

[Darkwaters]

Best thread ever

[TDMVPDPOY]

a mavs fan telling us to hold our horses? ahahhahahaha the same organization that beat us in 06 and thought they had the finals in the bag going up 2-0? hahahahha good luck

lets just hope the deciding game, none of ur mav players pull a juwon howard on us....fkn jackass

[pauls931]

I like the liquid metal title forming on the site logo. Need to find some molten metal.

[Muser]

lol 2-2 with the 8 seed.

[Frenzy]

They have the same record as the 6th seed. You just got lucky you didn't have to face us.

No one fears the lakers anymore fella ..you serious :lol

[Muser]

At this point i'm more scared of the Jazz.

[MadDog73]

No.


Fakers got lucky they didn't run into the Spurs in the first round.

Actually, I'll go further than that and say Fakers will be lucky to GET to the second round at this point.

And Fakers will be very, very lucky to reach the WCF.

[DPG21920]

Mav fans act like idiots all the time and people who have a problem with average joes talking trash need to relax. It is part of the fun of a rivalary. It is not like spurs fans truly believe they are the favorites to win anything. They are just running smack back at the mavs.

Hell, this series is not even over yet.

The lethargic fashion in which the Lakers are playing right now would have got them swept in 4 games by the Spurs. Completely destroyed. Might have been a close game 3 and/or 4 when the Lakers realize that dropping the first 2 at home means you're in trouble as a team.

That said, I expect the Lakers to play a lot better tonight. But if they don't come out with energy, it could be back to OKC with the Kittens up 3-2.
