Time to root for the lakers?

[nkdlunch]

We are all enjoying the epic failure by the lakers no doubt. But there could be even a bigger failure to watch if the Mavs somehow find a way to lose this series.

Can you imagine the repercusions of the Mavs pulling the biggest choke job in sports history yet again??? It would be the death of that Maverick franchise.

my question is, do you prefer to continue to see Lakers die a slow death or see the biggest most epic chokejob in history if Mavs find way to lose???

I am leaning towards the latter :flag:

[Nathan89]

I want to see the Lakers death.

[in2deep]

it's a win win situation

[lefty]

Tough question

[spurs10]

This is making my head hurt.

[Oh, Gee!!]

abtl. let the mavs beat LA, but lose to Memphis. If LA wins this series, they'll win the next 4 years.

[TD21-FTW]

it's a win win situation

[Maddog]

No
Just can't do it.
I don't care for Cuban or Terry
But I must admit I kinda like Dirk.
Lakers? No just can't do it

How on earth would losing to the two-time defending champions be an epic choke job? If I recall correctly, the Favored Spurs were up 2-0 and riding a 15 game win streak into game 3 back in 2004. I don't need to remind you of the final outcome. The Mavs have always been a better road team than home team so it wouldn't surprise me in the least if LA stormed back to take the next two. The only epic failure is another worthless thread on the front page of Spurstalk.

[crc21209]

I hope the Lakers lose this series. Because let's face it, if the Mavs move on, they would be more likely to lose to Memphis/OKC and then either one of Boston/Miami/Chicago in the Finals than LA would.....

[Hoops Czar]

a worthless thread that got your attention but good enough to post your opinion

Worthless threads headlining on the front page always get my attention. My opinion is a moot point as is your rebuttal.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Unless Phil and Kobe are going to release a cure for cancer when the win the series then FTL.

[NRHector]

Worthless threads headlining on the front page always get my attention. My opinion is a moot point as is your rebuttal.then from your logic all the threads in this forum are worthless because you are here posting

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

The Mavs are stopping the Lakers from a 3-peat right now.


Come on guys.

[suitedkings]

Lakers coming back and winning would be soul crushing to the Mavs.

I am all for it.

[gospursgojas]

For me, FTM>FTL.

But i really dont wanna see Miami win it all and not sure who would be a tougher matchup for them.

[Hoops Czar]

then from your logic all the threads in this forum are worthless because you are here posting

Is this your Sesame Street rationale? I post in any thread I feel compelled to post in. This particular thread is severely flawed. Losing to the two-time defending champions in a seven game series even if spotted a 2-0 lead would NOT be considered one of the biggest choke jobs in sports history... Not even close. On the flip side, it wouldn't be the ultimate choke job if LA suffers defeat to Dallas. Therefore, the mere existence of this thread is senseless.

[024]

it's a win win situation

[Budkin]

Dirk is 1000 times more likable than Kobe.

[Spurs da champs]

I can honestly say I don't hate the mavericks as much as I do the Lakers. I'd root for Mavs in this series just 2 see them get demolished by the Thunder.

[Giuseppe]

Dirk is 1000 times more likable than Kobe.

It's the 5-4 thing.

I understand, Bud.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Lakers lose. Mavs deserve it this year.

[baseline bum]

The Mavs could never top their 06 choke, so FTL all the way.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

No-brainer, I'd rather see Dallas win this. Dirk is probably the most deserving player in the league of a championship.

[silverblk mystix]

Easy.

Mavs SWEEP the lakers...then in the next round...Mavs go up 3-0...


...and then choke and lose series 4-3....

[Obstructed_View]

Sounds like some Spurs fans are praying that the Mavs make people forget the collossal and historic choke job the Spurs put out this season. Even if the Mavs lose the next four it's still the second biggest upset this postseason.

[TE]

Simply, no.


FTL

[rjv]

i'm pulling for the mavs but then again i'd root for the plague against the lakers.

[ATXSPUR]

I honestly don't think our loss to Memphis was as huge a choke as people are making it out to be. The writing was on the wall. Now I admit, I was expecting to win the series. But I knew that eventually our lack of defense and interior presence outside of Duncan was going to result in a very ugly exit for the Spurs. I just didn't expect it in the first round. I just didn't feel like we had a championship team this year, and when you know your team isn't a championship team, then no exit from the playoffs surprises you, whether it be first round or WCF's.

[ffadicted]

Go Mavs

He's talkin' about 8.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Would you rather see the Lakers three-peat, or see the Mavs advance to the Finals?


Come on. Go Mavs.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Mavs up 3 games to none!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I am stunned at how hard I've been rooting for the Mavs.

That all changes WCF onwards, but still, major major props to them.

[ThaiFanofSpurs]

I have a great deal of respect for Dirk... I think he deserves a championship ring.

Same here....:lol

Looks like my jinx job is almost complete


Buahahahahaha

Uh, the Mavs are given a bye over OKC/Memphis already?

[DMC]

Fuck LA. It's bad for the game for the same rich ass fucking team to win every year for 10 years.

[GrandeDavid]

Go Mavs.

Fuck the Lakers. I'd love to see them get swept.

[TDMVPDPOY]

rather see mavs advance, if they win or lose in the finals who cares

beats hearing laker wankers talkin about 3peats in our ears like 2000-2002 again...fck that shit

[Libri]

:corn:

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Ftl

[easy7]

Fuck the laker's 3peat

[SpurSpurSpurs]

Mavs no doubt. Kidd and Nowitzki are like Stockton & Malone of the 90's. They deserve a ring.

But FUCK TERRY and their FUCKTARD OWNER. :)

[spurtech09]

miami heat 2011 nba champs...book it

[50 cent]

I have also been shocked at how hard I'm rooting for the Mavs.

[windboy226]

Go Mavs

Love your picture FF. Must be a big Boxer fan:). Watch his documentary that they aired on GOM if you haven't yet.

Also, I don't know what it says about me as a Mavs fan but I'd rather win one championship with Dirk than 5 without him. You guys have a similar situation with Duncan(but you guys get the 4 rings too) so Spurs fans can probably relate but I will never ever be attached to another player in my life as I am to Dirk.

[DirkISaCocLuvinPuSSy]

I hate Mavs but me hate LAKER FAG MO! the way I look at it I'm rooting for Texas but I'm rooting for OKC next round

[rwb]

It pains me...PAINS me to say I actually watched the end of the Mavs/Lakers Game 3 but it was enjoyable to see the Lakers implode (although it annoyed me to see Terry playing well) and the Zen Master :sleep become unglued and virtually bitch slap Gasol in front of everyone. It's time for the Lakers and their whatever money can buy organization to chew on some humble pie. I just would have preferred it to have come at the hands of the Hornets instead of the Mavs, but I'll take it.

Now whoever the Mavs play next needs to take them out.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Fuck the lakers and their bandwagon fans squarely in the ass. I'm hoping for a beat down and a sweep. Period.

[B-Hath]

Living in Dallas, these Mavs fans are a massive insufferable beating. I hate the Lakers with the fire of a thousand suns, but I would really like to see a Lakers comeback, just to shut these jackasses up. Then I would pray to sweet baby Jesus that the Griz or Thunder just viciously violate the Lakers.

Can you just pray for the Grizz or Thunder to violate the Mavs? Why give the Lakers the glory of being the first team to come from 3-0 down.

[rmt]

It's never time to root for the lakers. I hope the Mavs sweep them. Kobe fans are the worst. Mavs aren't bad except for Cuban and Terry - Dirk seems like a nice guy.

[B-Hath]

Because I wish for titanic Mavs failure at all cost. And them being the first NBA team to choke away a 3-0 series lead would be a glorious thing to behold.

Much like a 1 losing to an 8? Or getting swept in the 2nd round by a crappy Suns team? What a dummy you are son

:elephant

Your Mavs were a 1 seed and lost to an 8. And your Mavs also had one of the most massive meltdowns in NBA Finals history. Win 4 titles and get back to me. And also ... you're not my father.

[dbreiden83080]

Uh

No...
