Barring key injuries...

[DeadlyDynasty]

...we'll see a Finals rematch. Dallas is deep as fuck and Dirk is back.

[MavDynasty]

My favorite Tommy Nunez story is from the 2007 playoffs

[Banzai]

Had me not fooled. Lol

[Bonner4MVPzz]

San Antonio Heat part 2?

[Latarian Milton]

we'll see a rematch but the result is gonna be different tbh, last season was a fluke

[DeadlyDynasty]

we'll see a rematch but the result is gonna be different tbh

agreed

[Spur_Fanatic]

[mavsfan1000]

Last season wasn't a fluke but the Heat got better over the summer and the mavs got worse.

[endrity]

jinxing us now DD, are you?

[Muser]

Vince is gonna be the key, if he keeps it up then they're gonna go far. Dude has been a beast.

[DeadlyDynasty]

jinxing us now DD, are you?

Nah, I don't jinx.

[MavDynasty]

Vince is gonna be the key, if he keeps it up then they're gonna go far. Dude has been a beast.

Yup, he has finally emerged as the 3rd consistent scorer Dallas has always needed. It's not a by-the-committee type thing anymore.

Hopefully Delonte West keeps up his strong play whenever he gets back.

It's strange that one of the teams biggest weaknesses is its outside shooting. It'll come around though hopefully.

[Andrew Bynum]

Just barring injuries? Have you forgotten trades can be make in the NBA? Zero point in predicting who's gonna do what in the playoffs until the deadline passes.

'Maybe' certain trades could shift the balance of power in the west. The east is settled.

If they deal your ass out east for their main target, than maybe the Lakers can emerge.

[Andrew Bynum]

Trading me for "their main target" changes nothing for the Lakers. We need a PG, not a center.

[Andrew Bynum]

The Bulls landing "their main target" wouldn't change anything? Think again. Please wait until the deadline passes until you make stupid threads like this.

You're a fucking idiot if you think Howard will end up in Chicago. Shoot yourself in the face.

Twice for good measure.

The point is you have no fucking clue what's gonna happen from now until March 15th and what contenders are gonna have what players so can your "this is totally what's gonna happen" bullshit.

[Tiago Splitter]

What has the better chance of happening? I'll wait.

Well they get to play a healthy center for a change.

[z0sa]

OP is pretty much the league consensus at this point. As much as I'd love to see my spurs in it til at least the Finals, it will definitely be considered an upset if they beat Mavs or to a lesser extent, OKC. Clips and Blake Griffin don't have the experience quite yet and Lakers just aren't deep enough.

[BUMP]

tbh i can see LAC beating Dallas simply due to the matchup nightmares they present.

I wouldn't be nervous at all if Dallas plays OKC as long as they have that retard Westbrook making decisions in crunch time

[mavs>spurs]

as long as they have that retard Westbrook making decisions in crunch time

:lmao replace westbrook with rose or even deron williams and you got a dynasty there

little retarded frog looking nigga shuts himself down tbh

[TIMMYtoZO]

Even though no one in the West is winning it all, Dallas has more of a fighting chance than anyone else against Miami. OKC is overrated. The Spurs don't have superstar Duncan anymore. The Lakers are weak.

[Latarian Milton]

Last season wasn't a fluke but the Heat got better over the summer and the mavs got worse.

miami always the better team then dallas since our big 3 merged, and the gap was broadened last summer as the mavs lost TC who was such a key to their lucky win last year

if bball game takes 10 men each team on court then mavs would have an equal chance of winnin it as we do because their depth is much better then ours, their depth is the biggest advantage they have but it's minimized in playoffs where the 1st unit often plays 35-40 every game tbh.

Well the Heat got lucky with the refs in 2006. So it evens out I guess. And the key to beating the Heat last year was Marion's defense on Lebron. We are lucky to have our best defender at the same position as Miami's best player. lol Bosh being included. More like big 2.

Stevenson's defense and TC's are being underrated imo.

[mavsfan1000]

So is Haywood's defense. And West and Carter have shown some good defense as well. Just a great defensive coach Carlisle is to have the team play so well defensively.

I see hack a Blake being used throughout the playoffs.

Miami won't even get out of the east.

[Kewni Leonard]

Dallas can't beat OKC or the Spurs, that's for damn sure.

2011 playoffs say hello

[Black&Silver]

dallas is done. 1 and done. thats it, thats all. mark gave it his all last year and got his championship. He is going to his grave with only 1 championship.

what else can you expect when you have a fan base that doesnt care if the team wins a championship or not.

[endrity]

well.... you expect no championship, which you know, is kinda the opposite of Dallas right now

[Black&Silver]

i live in the dallas-fort worth area and the folks around here were celebrating making it to the finals and didnt think they could beat the heat.

oh and dont even try to compare spurs fans and mavs fans. even with less publicity for little ol' san antonio we have way more loyal fans that yall.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol not knowing who Latarian is

[Kewni Leonard]

2011 playoffs say hello

Tyson Chandler says hey

J.J. Barea says what's up

[Giuseppe]

^I say 8.

[Kewni Leonard]

^I say 8.

If you're referring to SA/MEM, I say Manu Ginobili.

[endrity]

Tyson Chandler says hey

J.J. Barea says what's up

So do Haywood and Carter and Odom and West and Roddy, all while number 41 is still there

[endrity]

:lol not knowing who Latarian is

enlighten me

[endrity]

If you're referring to SA/MEM, I say Manu Ginobili.

I say Caron Butler

[MavDynasty]

Expecting Manu Ginobili to ever be healthy

[MavDynasty]

enlighten me

rogue tbh

snap :lol

[Kewni Leonard]

You're listing has-beens and scrubs? lol...

[Kewni Leonard]

I say Caron Butler

?

You're comparing Caron Butler to Manu Ginobili? LOL

[endrity]

You're listing has-beens and scrubs? lol...

Better than injured scrubs. You know JJ has barely played right.

And you got no room since 8.

[Giuseppe]

8.

:lol

Though you broke protocol by bolding the period.

[endrity]

?

You're comparing Caron Butler to Manu Ginobili? LOL

2nd leading scorer at the time he went down, shooting his highest FG% since he became a Mav, singlehandedly almost beat the Spurs. Both two time All-Stars, Butler a bit younger. Yeah, I'll compare them alright when the difference is 8 and :lobt2:

[Kewni Leonard]

Better than injured scrubs. You know JJ has barely played right.

And you got no room since 8.

What Barea is doing this year is irrelevant. He was huge in that 'championship' run.

And I have all of the room in the world, Memphis did not beat the Spurs last season.

official and shit. Checked it again, and yep, 8.

[Magua]

:lolthis nigga still goin strong i see...

[endrity]

Wait, so you're saying Caron Butler and Manu Ginobili are comparable players?

comparable enough that the difference shouldn't be 8 and :lobt2:

[Kewni Leonard]

comparable enough that the difference shouldn't be 8 and :lobt2:

That is all I needed to know.

Everyone, endrity has just said that Caron Butler and Manu Ginobili are comparable NBA players, for the record.

Lol at SD State education, can't even teach this pothead how to read

[m>s]

Losing TC hit us hard tbh and we got castrated w/ that nigga gone :cry i understand their plan of clearing up cap space for the coming summer, but the Triple D would be only a pipedream if we end up bungling this season.

[mavsfan1000]

WTF happened to Mahinmi and now Wright is slumping. Shit.

[Giuseppe]

^I hope Boston rises up this evening and smights you fuckers, Thou.

[z0sa]

ROFL @ any Mavs fan using "8". 2007, first round happened and was a far worse upset

[Bonner4MVPzz]

ROFL @ any Mavs fan using "8". 2007, first round happened and was a far worse upset

:rollin

[jjktkk]

WTF happened to Mahinmi and now Wright is slumping. Shit.

Mahimni is still a popular topic upstairs. Quite a few Spur fans are still pissed that Pop let him walk. He has all the physical tools, but never has put it all together. Some of the Pop haters blame Pop, so feel free to do so. :lol

[Andrew Bynum]

...we'll see a Finals rematch. Dallas is deep as fuck and Dirk is back.

:lmao This fucking retard.

[Proxy]

Premature ejaculation on the Dirk being back for a rematch, tbh

[DAF86]

They looked strong for a moment there and I thought they were the favorites but with all the shit that's going on off court I don't think they make the finals.

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

Premature ejaculation on the Dirk being back for a rematch, tbh

You were saying?:rollin

Don't sweat it, bro. Better men than you have tried to question the OP's genius, but the guy is simply amazing. I don't know how he does it, but he's right almost all the time.
