Thank goodness for the Mavs!

[silverblackfan]

Nice of them to keep the pressure on the Spurs. The Spurs are playing well and have lots of potential, but need those Mavs on their heals to really keep the foot on the pedal.


Anyway, thanks Mavs for keeping our team ready for the next part of the season.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Definitely. But the Mav's only beat us because they're a tough team to adapt to. They change it up, and they're smart too. But they lack the mental consistency to beat the same team over and over, which is why they can't progress in the post-season. Pop studies teams, by the end of the game, he knows every weakness and how to exploit it.

Plus, the Mavs only have Dirk as a significant offensive weapon. But the Spurs are filled with loaded guns.

[poop]

they beat us because we have no one to guard Dirt, and Dirt always plays against us as if his life depends on it, making 3/4ths of his shots no matter the range or difficulty.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Yes sir. The Spurs need to find a way to defuse Dirk. McDyess does okay on defending him, but Dirk can have three guys in his face and still make a granny shot with his eyes closed. We need an aggressive big, who will make Dirk work really hard for the bucket.

Perhaps when Splitter becomes a big contributor later on. He's from an ultra-aggressive euro league, so maybe he'll challenge Dirk.

[Lady M]

Tony made his worst game of the year

[silverblackfan]

It wouldn't hurt the team if the Mavs are trailing the Spurs in the hunt by a game or two. Hopefully this keeps the Spurs focused.

[TheRealCB]

Tony made his worst game of the year

And facing one of the top defensive teams had nothing to do with it,right?

[Shank]

I thought the Clippers game was far worse for Parker.

Really? You don't think those 16 FTs Tyson Chandler was awarded had anything to do with it?

Yeah, he was in about a four game funk. Not coincidentally, we went 2-2.

We'd beat the Mavs in 6 just like last year if we played this week.

Just fooling yourself,Cry.And we both know it.

[xmas1997]

I can't wait for the Spurs to play the Lakers, Celtics, or play the Mavs again.
It'll be a different story for the Mavs next time around, that's for sure.
The Mavs are peaking while the Spurs are getting better and better defensively practically every game. Good to see. Not a bit worried about the Mavs, but obviously Mavs fans are!

[ChuckD]

Just fooling yourself,Cry.And we both know it.

The difference between Dallas and SA, well one of them anyway, is that I'm sure the Mavs had that game circled on their schedule as soon as it came out, but the Spurs took it as 1 of 82.

When we're healthy, and you have our attention, you've only beaten us once in a playoff series, 2006, and that went to 7 games.

[Muser]

Just fooling yourself,Cry.And we both know it.

Not really, it could go either way though.

[concken]

There's another thread going on about how he isn't physical enough for the Lakers, and I agree. As for Dirk, I think you're spot on. He's definitely quick enough to keep up with Dirk's shananigans. Will he be conditioned enough with the lack of minutes he's getting?

We'll probably have to go through the Mavs to get to the Laker IMO

the mavs aren't peaking, that french guy hasn't even came back from injury yet

[ChuckD]

the mavs aren't peaking, that french guy hasn't even came back from injury yet

...and the Spurs are playing their key players 27-30 minutes. Not exactly what Dallas would see in the playoffs, is it?

[TheRealCB]

That is true son :toast

[xmas1997]

And the Spurs #1 draft pick hasn't come back from injury either.
Moot point IMHO!

Yea let's compare some scrub the Spurs picked 27th to Roddy B........... same thing.:lol Welcome to Spurstalk, home of dumbazz Spurs fans:lol

And here again we have a perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black!:lol

No wonder the intelligence quotient of Mavs fans are in perpetual question!:hat
I rest my case!:lobt2:

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Yes, should help the Spurs a little more with motavation. Then again, Coach Pop quatoed a couple weeks ago when they were on a 11 game winning streak that he had no idea they'd won all those games in a row. :lol

[xmas1997]

It has seems to me that the Spurs are approaching each game with the sole motivation of "getting better, especially defensively", which also seems to be happening, regardless of won/loss records.

[tdunk21]

u beat me to it.....i was gonna post that...

lol....noringski fans

[AlleyOopNazi]

No I hope they pass the Spurs up in the regular season and end with the League leading record (unlikely). Dirk is "honored" with another League MVP title.
















annnnnnnd they lose to another 8th seed in the first round....

How soon people forget defense!

Fuck yeah! You tell that ill-informed faggot. & To the guy who is talking about "how quickly we forget defense" If anything, Anderson surpasses Roddy in the defensive area. & Roddy's perimeter shot doesn't have shit on Anderson's

But the most important thing is, that Roddy can NEVER contribute to the Mavericks, the way Anderson WILL contribute to the Spurs. because

Spurs System > Mavs System

[ajh18]

One of the greatest benefits of getting the top seed in the west, at least if things play out the way they're looking now, is to get a Lakers/Mavs second round series in the playoffs.

Utah, OKC, PHO, NO... I don't believe that any of those teams represent the kind of threat that LA and DAL do. LA is who we're gunning for, and the Mavs were originally constructed just to beat us. Having those two teams play each other would eliminate one of the biggest threats two our title hopes. And while I think LA is better than Dallas, the Mavs actually have weapons that could give LA trouble, and a big front line to match up inside.

[SpursDynasty85]

Not gonna hate on the Mavs. Mavs are a legitament threat to win the West this year. But damn that large lurking shadow of 06' finals and 07' historic playoff loss.:wakeup

[DAF86]

And facing one of the top defensive teams had nothing to do with it,right?

Pretty much 'cause he then went on to suck for the next three or four games against crappy teams like the Wolves and Clippers, besides Tony has lighted up this current Mavs core many times.

[Budkin]

Dirk is a nightmare matchup against us and Terry plays out of his mind. I'm still surprised we beat them in playoffs last year. Must have been the revenge factor.

Have they met in the playoffs in the last 12 months?

[Seventyniner]

Have the Mavs and Spurs played this year?

Last year the Mavs won the regular season series 3-1 and the Spurs won the postseason series 4-2. Which would you prefer?

[Leonard Curse]

i was at that game and i gotta give it to the mavs they just made everything and we bricked wide open shots, im sure that had to do with their defense exhausting some shooters.

[Leonard Curse]

and im sure bonner was defending our post for 48minutes. enough said. when we run into good teams w/ dominate centers pops bf is F'd

[99-03-05-07]

Last year the Mavs won the regular season series 3-1 and the Spurs won the postseason series 4-2. Which would you prefer?

looks like what the suns-spurs went through for the past decade-ish, they would win almost every game in the regular season and then when the playoffs rolled around, we beat them when it matters the most

[FkLA]

fuck the mavs tbh

[Cant_Be_Faded]

fuck the mavs
