Good luck today...Mavs fans are pulling for the Spurs

[Amarelooms]

Ya'll can win 2 more....good luck my friends....represent the great state of Texas.

On another note it's time for the Spurs nation to do the right thing and support the Mavs as they battle the Lakers. Go out and get your #41 and #31 jerseys and rock them out on the river walk. We all know ya'll need the Mavs to beat the Lakers for the Spurs to have any shot to get the finals....

God bless sons

Thanks!!!

Hell yes, we are pulling for you guys to beat the hated Lakers.

That is our common denominator here in Texas, all three teams' fans hate the Lakers.

[Obstructed_View]

Never have two useless, shitty, fair-weather fanbases deserved each other more. Go Lakers.

[SourCandy]

So spurs hate lakers more then the mavs? That's kinda shocking actually.

[spursfan09]

I hate both equally.

I supported the mavs last night and cheered for them. However, asking me to get a #31 jersey is going a bit far, Can't do that! On the other hand, go Dirk go.

[ohmwrecker]

I actually liked the Lakers when I was a kid. I had very little awareness of the Mavericks existence.

[Cessation]

I hate the mavs, but I hate the lakers even more.

[Jimcs50]

How do you figure?

The Lakers have been a thorn in our side since the 1970s......The Mavs have been a pebble in our shoe off and on since the 80s

Me too. Bandwagon fan for sure. I'm not sure how a ten year old in New Mexico in the 80s would know of any teams other than the Sixers, the Lakers and the Celtics. I certainly didn't.

[ohmwrecker]

That's pretty much it. I liked the Sixers and the Lakers. I didn't like the Celtics because my dad was a Celtics fan and it was more fun for me to cheer for the other team. I was aware of the Spurs and I had the George Gervin "Iceman" poster, but I didn't get to see them play much unless they were playing the Lakers, but I did like them. I never saw the Mavericks on TV.

I didn't become a Spurs fan until they got David Robinson and even then I liked the Sonics about the same. When the Spurs got Timmy, I became a full on Spurs fan. I don't cheer for any other team.

This.

That'd be like asking any other team to put on a Spurs #12 jersey....

[Beanzamillion21]

Just Dirk, Go Dirk Go :lobt:

[rmt]

I'm cheering for the Mavs. Kobe fans are the worst. They'll be unbearable if LA 3-peats. If/when the Spurs lose, my wish will be for LA to lose.

[EVAY]

I hate the mavs, but I hate the lakers even more.

Pretty much says it. Go mavs go!

[ohmwrecker]

I've been a Spurs fan since I was a zygote! I am a better fan than you!

[Budkin]

I would root for the Mavs for sure if Terry weren't there. Dirk is one of the classiest guys in the league. However I will swallow my hatred for the JET this time and root for the Mavs. The Lakers must be defeated.

[silverblk mystix]

Hate the Mavs....

Hate the lakers more...

Funny, how -once you start watching the lakers play against ANYONE...and your heart naturally begins to pull for the other team...no matter who it is...

Hell, I hate the lakers so much....that when Kobe was on the U.S. olympic team...I started watching...hoping for a U.S. victory...but the more I watched...my heart started pulling for the other teams...

So, Go- fuckin' Mavs!

[TampaDude]

There is no team I detest more than the Lakers. If we don't make the WCF, I could even live with the Mavs getting their first title this year, because it means the Lakers got bounced.

[rasho8]

This series bothers me. I hate both teams... but Dirk is a nicer guy than Kobe. But Terry is a i little piss ant piece of shit, and I love me some Ron Ron.

Fuck it I hope you both lose somehow.

[Mugen]

I don't know how he did it, but Matt Barnes has surpassed Jason Terry in the faggotry department.

FTM and FTL.

But Go Dallas Go!

:elephant

I hope someone blows up the Staples Center during game 1...

That said, I would rather see the Mavs advance then sit through another Kobe suckfest during the playoffs...My hatred for Ninja Turtle Terry, Dirty Dirk and Sharkteeth Cuban will have to wait for the WCF if they advance...

[GrandeDavid]

I hope the Mavs beat the Lakers, definitely.

[ajh18]

With 2 minutes left in game 4 of the Lakers / Hornets series, I started keeping track of the number of times Reggie Miller mentioned Kobe. I counted 26 times. In 2 minutes of game time.

Go Mavs.

[Spurminator]

OP aside, I can assure you there are very few Mavs fans pulling for the Spurs tonight.

[ffadicted]

I am DEFINITLY pulling for the mavs, fuck the lakers tbh, but I can guarantee you there are 0% of Dallas fans not cheering for Memphis lol

[bus driver]

I hate both equally.

+1

this is how i see it :wakeup

[will_spurs]

Mavs-Lakers is for me a bit like England-Germany in soccer. I wish they would blow each other to pieces, and both lose, but that's not really possible. So I have to pick the lesser of 2 evils (or as we say in French, pick between plague and cholera), and clearly the Mavs are the lesser evil. And I wouldn't mind seeing Dirk going back to the WCF.

So there it is: Go Mavs Go! :)

(also... just check my sig)

[JR3]

I hate the mavs and Lakers.. But I can't decide who I hate more, Kobe or Cuban. I think its a tie. Although its not possible.. I'm going to assume hoping they both lose! Neal with it.

[JR3]

I though portland has a much better chance of beating the lakers.

[mavsfan1000]

Go Spurs Go!

[Proxy]

How do you figure?

The Lakers have been a thorn in our side since the 1970s......The Mavs have been a pebble in our shoe off and on since the 80s

hmmm.... defeating us twice the past decade, with one of those years being a great chance at a repeat, doesn't constitute for a pebble... and one of our wins came with Dirk injured.... Your statement is 4th grade level at best.

I can't bring myself to say it out loud, but Go Mavs.

[Assman]

I definitely hate the Mavs more than the Lakers.

The way I see it, if the Lakers win the title, oh well, they already have 69 others so it's not a big deal. If the Mavs win it all, we no longer have scoreboard on them and we will never hear the end of it.

I used to HATE Ray Allen more than any man in the league and because of that, I wished failure upon the Celts. But once they won their title, I no longer care if they win 1 or 69 others. Because once you win one ring, you're part of the fraternity. My goal is to keep the assholes of the league out of that fraternity.

Go Lakers and Go Celts. F the Mavs and F the Heat.

Oh, and if nothing else, just picture Mark Cuban doing some feminine, cocky dance at center court after the Mavs won the title. That alone is enough to wish failure upon them.

[sexinthatsx]

fuck the lakers I hope the Mavs curbstomp them.

Give 'em hell, Mavs.

[guillermo78228]

I dislike the mavs, but I HATE the lakers, so I will be rooting for the mavs, I never thought I'd be saying that..lol

[birdy219]

I would pull for the lakers if it wasn't for their fans, players, coach, city, and existence :flipoff............... wait, I have to pull for the mavs...:depressed

Glad most aren't in total hate of the Mavs and prefer them over the Lakers. In most part, Spurs fans are classy.

[daslicer]

I will have to strongly support the mavs since I have a strong hatred for the Lakers. Mavs are the lesser of the two evils plus the spurs evened the scoreboard with them by beating them last year. Honestly lol if it came down to Team Afghanistan vs the Lakers I would root for team Afghanistan.

[Spurtacus]

I hate the mavs, but I hate the lakers even more.

This.


I will be rooting for the Mavs be default. I guess that means the Lakers will win. Fuck.

[Killakobe81]

LOL yall should root for the Lakers ESPECIALLY if you complete the comeback vs. the Grizz.

You guys have no "stones" you should want to end our run like you did the first 3peat ....but hey that's just me.

the repeat would not have been as sweet if we didnt get revenge on Boston last year ...

So we should take a page out of the Laker fan's book and hope for a knee injury to Andrew Bynum then? :lol

Mehh, Perk missed 1.5 games and Bynum was injured in 2008 so the shit evens out ...tbh

Just saying, during the season it was all bluster and swollen chest about taking out the two time champs, now you rooting for the Mavs, Heat OKC anyone but the Lakers ... my how the mighty have fallen ...

Don't kid yourself...ABLA (anybody but the Lakers) has been a mantra around here every year I've watched. It has nothing to do with whether or not the Spurs are winning. It has everything to do with Bryant being someone so easy to hate that even his coach hates him.

You need be checkin of you reading compremehension, dog.

The Lakers' backing into two titles in a row is nice and all, but the Spurs have at least two rounds before they even need to think about the Lakers or the Mavs. Forgive me for not being as obsessed with your team as you are with mine.

[Brutalis]

So spurs hate lakers more then the mavs? That's kinda shocking actually.

Why the hell would that be shocking? The Mavs have been irrelevant until this 2000s decade. Before that they were just.... there.

LA has been doing battle with SA since we joined the NBA....

Some people need to at least pretend they have some experience with common NBA knowledge.

I really don't think anyone outside of Laker fans wanna see yall win another title....objective fans fucking hate seeing the same team win over and over and over......gets really boring to watch 82 games when you know the Lakers bought the best team anyway.

[Brutalis]

Anyways, any Spurs fans who think anyone is rooting for us... must be ignorant.

You really think LA/DAL wanna face us over the Grizzlies if they happen to win and advance beyond the conference semi's?

Fuck no. They wanna play a team that gives them the greatest chance at winning the series.

Lakers/Mavericks can go 4 games and injure every player for all I care. I would rather face LA in the WCF if I had a choice.

[jmanu20]

Simply because of Jason Terry always writing checks his ass never cashes, I will be rooting for the Lakers. Sure, Kobe might not be the greatest person off the court, but he at least 5 rings to back up whatever he says on court. I like Dirk, and he deserves a ring before his career ends, but not when it means that Jason Terry would get one too!

In all honesty, this series is the basketball equivalent of me having to vote for either Bush or Kerry.

[Anonymous Cowherd]

Sign me up to be rooting for the Mavs.

[maddnezz]

It's all about TEXAS:toast

[ohmwrecker]

I'm pulling for an epic Spurs comeback.

The Lakers and the Mavericks are of very little concern to me. However, I do hope both teams have a long, harrowing, physically debilitating, spiritually draining, soul crushing series.

[TampaDude]

Glad most aren't in total hate of the Mavs and prefer them over the Lakers. In most part, Spurs fans are classy.

I actually like Dirk...it would be a shame to see him go ringless.

The Lakers, on the other hand, can all fucking go straight to hell. :lol

ABLA

[Blue Duck]

this is an interesting two-part conversation.

First of all, I can't imagine being a fan of another team when I was a kid, and then becoming a Spurs fan all of a sudden because a certain player was acquired. Does that mean your fanhood ends when that player is traded or retires? I'm not sure how that works. It's a serious question, I'm not calling anyone out for ridin the bandwagon or anything, but all I have ever been is a Spurs fan. I really did hate both the Lakers and Celtics as a kid, and I always wanted J.Moore to get the recognition I thought he deserved. As an adult, I look back and respect those 80's Lakers and Celtics but when I was a kid I was too stubborn and I pouted about us losing.

On which rival to hate more........with all do respect to my fellow Texans, it would have to be the Mavs. TBH, since Shaq left the LakeShow, Phil Jackson has really been the only trash talker left on the team. Kobe never got angry about being aggressively guarded by Bruce the way other pre-madonna superstars have, and he has always given the Spurs organization recognition from top to bottom, especially, TD and Manu. I can't say the same for Jason Terry, whose mouth seems to be perpetually open and aimed south toward S.A. Additonally, with the exception of a few posters here, their fans seem to hate us like no other fanbase. I've had several encounters at places like the Dallas airport, etc and it seems to be dramatically overblown. I even had a waiter refuse to serve my one time and see he didn't need my tip, when he heard me tell another patron I was a diehard Spurs fan from S.A. Maybe I'm wrong.

Anyways, I hope the Dallas/L.A. series is exciting and goes 7, that's it.

[Brazil]

My laker hate is way stronger than my mav hate !

Go Mavs win a 7 games tough serie

[Tp9gospursgo]

Go Mavs!

Trash talk leading to personal loss... how Jason Terry of him.

[Cessation]

Mavs are like the annoying little brother you have, that occasionally beats you. Lakers are like the devil.

[siraulo23]

for a moment i thought u said, "good luck, the spurs are pulling a mavs today"

[rmt]

If Spurs manage to get by MEM and OKC, they would have a better chance of beating the Mavs than LA. Forget about all this revenge stuff, MEM's front court is like LA lite. If they're having this much trouble with MEM, imagine Gasol/Bynum/Odom + Kobe.

[JustinJDW]

Much rather see Dirk get a well deserved ring than see Phil get his 12th. I don't really hate any team in the league, except maybe the pussy ass Heat, but I'd much rather root for the Mavs for the Lakers.
