Well ain't that a bitch

[DDS4]

No Spurs in the finals.
No Pistons in the finals.

I was totally wrong about this season. For one, I thought it would take an act from God not to have at least one of these two teams in the Finals again.

I guess that's why they play the games.

[gospursgojas]

Or an act of Stern

[dknights411]

We were ALL wrong apparently. :pctoss

Good thing I don't bet. :)

[spurs=bling]

Or an act of Stern
:lol

but it sucks that pistons didn't make it.

[FreshPrince22]

What a waste of a season.

[milkyway21]

What a waste of a season.i agree :grim


our quest for best record for HCA was useless.

what a waste.

see you again next yr Detroit! :smokin

[DirkAB]

Or an act of Stern

Seriously, if anybody truly believed that, then you would be an absolute fool for ever watching another game.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

The Spurs should be there.

The Pistons just got outplayed.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Bakrid, I know who you are. And yeah. Fuck that Bitch.

[ponky]

i agree :grim

Best record doesn't always equate to a finals showdown, especially the last three years:

2003-2004:
best record in the east: indiana
best record in the west: minnesota
finals: lakers/pistons

2004-2005:
best record in the east: miami
best record in the west: phoenix
finals: spurs/pistons

2005-2006:
best record in the east: pistons
best record in the west: spurs
finals: heat/winner of suns/mavs

[MWILL]

Are u kidding me! The Spurs played great, but lost. Detroit played like shit (again!!) Pistons didn't deserve to go to the finals. BTW who are you Spurs/Pistons fans going for now! Suns? or Heat.

Hah, it doesn't even matter now. Either one can win.

I personally would like to see Pat Riley get another ring.

Pat Riley has enough rings. It's the Mavs turn.

Get past the Suns first.

I would root for the mavs...but the fans just take on the personality of your owner, which is to say annoying. That and Avery has turned into a bitch. Well he may have always been one but he's shown his true colors. Viva le Heat.

I can understand why lots of Spur fans hate Cuban, but if it wasn't for him Dallas would still be a shitty team. As for Avery being a bitch, I have to disagree with that. The REAL Bitch is Michael Finley! :lol

I think Spurs fans are annoying as fuck (lotsof them in my family) but then again I root for the Mavs. I think it's always that way for teams that play each other hard and really don't like each other. Why do you think Avery's a bitch? Just curious, because I think he's great and waaaaaaaaay better than Nellie.

[SPARKY]

Maybe you're the one who's "annoying as fuck".

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

all I can say is that the difference between the Spurs elimination game/series and the Pistons elimination series was that it didn't feel like a waste of a good season for the Spurs it was just Spurs coming up short on what played like a WCF.

If I were a Pistons fan I'd feel like it was a waste. Chauncey, Rasheed, where'd they go? Tayshaun, and Ben were teh only ones who showed heart consistently.

[Trainwreck2100]

I think some Mavs fans feel like Finley could've gone anywhere and he chose the Spurs, the one team that Mavs fans dislike the most. I don't feel that way, I feel like he did what he thought would benefit him the most in getting a championship. I actually dislike Nash more because he actually had a choice and was offered another contract, whereas Finley was waived. I feel sorry for Finley and I will always like him.

That's the feeling I got. Rip...Ben...Sheed...Chauncey...it's like they're coming unglued.

I have a feeling they'll be a team that's always there, but never quite gets another ring.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

DWade doesn't have nearly enough
Same can be said about Dirk.

I'm not worried about Wade. He's on the upside.

Anyway that sense of entitlement killed the Pistons so watch it there. (I don't know if it applies to the Spurs players though, they played to win as always-- only the fans felt entitled. ) What 2006 season has shown is that so no one is truly deserving til they've made the 16 wins.

If Mavs beat the Suns, the Finals will be exciting to watch for this matchup. Dirk has elevated his game this year to legend like status (as far as these playoff games go).

The Mavs fans don't think.

They just do what the Owner and Dirk say they should. They cheered Finley until Dirks "I just smelt shit" ass told them they should boo Finley. Absolutely retarded. If you're fans are that stupid, they don't deserve to win a championship.

[DubMcDub]

The Spurs should be there.

The Pistons just got outplayed.

Hi.

The Spurs got outplayed too. On their home court. In a Game 7.

yeah and they call Duncan a whiner just because Cuban publically called him a crybaby....Lame.

Most star players are guilty for it and are a lot worse, Sheed, Shaq, Wade, etc.
Duncan's just goofy-assed when he puts his trademark arms up.

[SPARKY]

That's b.s. I'm not the biggest fan of Cuban because I hate when he sits in the huddles and near the players during the game...he's kind of a wannabe. However, he does stick up for the team like any FAN would so I give him props for that. He's just an owner who's a nutty fan, mosy of us would die to be in his position. I don't think owners should be some hoity-toity rich dude sitting in a suite never accessible to the public and a lukewarm fan of his team.

You did read where Dirk said he was joking about the booing, right? He even said we should boo Nash...Nash, his best frickin' friend. You really think it hurts these guys to hear a bunch of regulars booing them during the game? I don't think so, and if it does then the guy is too thin-skinned. Anyway, not all Mavs fans agree with the whole booing Finley/Nash stuff so it's ridiculous to make a blanket statement about fans. Same goes for idiot SPurs fans who hate on Avery.

So why do the Suns fans call Duncan a whiner? Because of Cuban? There's a whole thread devoted to Duncan's whining on the Suns forum.

[DubMcDub]

Hi.

Bye.

Game 6 and 7. You mean the games in which the Spurs were called for considerably less fouls than the Mavs? Perhaps you're referring to the Game 7 in which ONE of your players had shot more FT's at the start of the 4th quarter than our entire team?

Hmmm. I guess the officiating does even out after all. Lets keep talking about Games 3 and 4 though exclusively while ignoring all the others. The best way to beat a counter-argument is to completely disregard and ignore it, right Spurs fans?

But Mavs have no room to talk. Dirk's just as big of a bitch.

In a general sense as far as reults go. Beyond that, Pistons got eliminated a LOT differently. They got plain beat.

Mavs game came down to the wire. It just came down to one great team had to lose, one great team had to move on. It was back and forth the whole way through.

A true fan of basketball can recognize that without picking sides.

That series was probably the best series of the playoff so far. Don't tell me the Spurs overcoming a 20 Point Lead in the face of elimination to almost winning it with seconds left-- is the same as letting another great team(Miami) have their way with you and admitting you're not playing like a unit through your actions in the game (a la the Pistons).

Yup, when you have Steve 'the Spur' Kerr pointing out calls that should've gone the Mavs way and saying how the Mavs organization would have cause for concern about the lop-sided officiating in game 7 should they lose, well...

We didn't hate on Avery. Until he started making stupid comments against us. When did you start hating Finley...when he got hit in the nuts, or was it when Dirk told you guys to?

It's absolutely completely different the way the two teams lost. I'm not denying that.

Just denying the oft-repeated comment that "The Spurs should be in the Finals." No, they shouldn't. They lost a 7 game series. Period.

[SPARKY]

Nothing like an off year to make another franchise's history. Rather amusing to see their fans still trolling in here.

The Spurs/Mavs matchup was one of the best I've seen in the playoffs and as a Mavericks fan, and not because we won. The Spurs are a much better team than the Pistons this year and the last series should've been the WCF.

[DubMcDub]

I could list all the questionable calls in games 3/4.

Could you be so kind as to list the questionable calls in games 6/7 ?

What you don't seem to realize is that just because you and other Spurs fans think there were "questionable calls" doesn't mean that's somehow the concrete truth of the matter. Of course you think there were questionable calls--you're pissed off and bitter than you lost.

So, no. I'm not gonna sit here and trade off with you about what I think were questionable calls that went the other way. I'm reasonable enough to understand that my own opinion of various calls really isn't worth anything. You should try to come to the same realization about yourself.

"I can list calls in game 3 and 4 which I as a Spurs fan found questionable. Could you please list calls in game 6 or 7 which you as a Mavs fan found questionable". I have a feelign you're not willing to tradeoff on the subject b/c there isn't much complaining to do when the refs are on your nuts.

Like I said, I never started hating on Finley, ever. I don't get into all that b.s. but I do think it's media hype, players don't really get all f*cked up by the fans like that. Look at Kobe when he plays, the guy gets some ridiculous chants started about him wherever he goes and how does it affect him? Well, check out his old Sprite and Nike commercials, they'll tell you. BTW, what comments did Avery start up with concerning the Spurs? If it's about the games, he has every right to make comments about the game, he's the coach.



It's a little different buddy.

[MWILL]

How is Finley a bitch? Please explain.

That's an easy question

Do I hate finley, Hell no! He's one of our dear ex-mavs, his MAVS jersey will always be on my wall (I respect what he did for our franchise). We hate him because of that fucking jersey he choose to wear.

Now for Nash, I hate that little fucker for bolting to phoenix the way he did. I could of swore he left one minute after free agancy took effect. :madrun

Whatever you say. To be quite honest, it really doesn't bother me at all whether or not you think I couldn't list a bunch of calls that were questionable in favor of the Spurs throughout the series. I know that may surprise you.

I'll give you one to stew on though--the absolutely horrendous offensive foul called on Devin Harris in the last minute of Game 6 while he was on a fastbreak.

Nah, Nash never got respect from the refs when he played with us and he certainly wouldn't have gotten MVP playing with us so it's better for both sides that he left. His game is better suited to D'Antoni's style which has helped him garner his MVP awards.

You're blowing this whole thing way out of proportion, lots of Mavericks fans love Finley who was around before we could even make the playoffs. What does it matter if some fans booed him? Does it affect his gameplay? No, certainly not, judging by the way he played in the last series. He and Terry hugged each other after the series, if they can get over it, so can Spurs fans.

[ploto]

First, I picked Miami from the East back in October. Do people forget how they would have been in the Finals last year against the Spurs if Wade hadn't gotten hurt, and that was even with a less than healthy Shaq.

Second, I enjoyed Flip going down in flames.

[Winnipeg_Spur]

God damnit, can this officiating talk just fucking die already? Yes there were some bad calls that went against the Spurs in games 3 and 4, but we had our shot, a game 7 on our own floor and just couldn't get it done. It was an extremely close series, just didn't go our way. Shit happens.

At least the Spurs went down fighting, they left it all on the floor and just couldn't get the breaks they needed. There's a certain championship contender in the East you couldn't say that about right now...

[milkyway21]

I can understand why lots of Spur fans hate Cuban, but if it wasn't for him Dallas would still be a shitty team. As for Avery being a bitch, I have to disagree with that. The REAL Bitch is Michael Finley! :lol

you'd thank Cuban for his countless emails around the NBA?

as for Michael Finley i didn't hear him punching your Mavs :lol

look your team already have accumulated too much fines, embarrassment and suspensions in this yr's playoffs.

You just made a new record.

just take a look of this yr's playoffs bad boys/girl:

1.Cuban-fined.
2.Terry-1 game suspension

Great post, reminds me that our team is no longer *soft*...if we get called bad boys, hell yeah!!! BTW, only one of those four you listed has actually been on the court playing ball during the playoffs. You should've seen the classy chick with the beer in one hand and a *bird* in the other that AJ's kids had to see. Yeah, we thank Cuban, just like the Spurs thanked Pop for sending in a tap to the league to help you guys out in Game 6.

[Trainwreck2100]

True. As tired I am of hearing Spurs fans complain about the refs, I think I'm even more tired of hearing how the Mavs "beat the Spurs and the refs" in game 7. Both sides are equally at fault...

Correct. Absolutely no Spurs fans are partaking in their own crusade by proclaiming that "we should be in the Finals, not the Mavs."

Does it affect his gameplay? No, certainly not, judging by the way he played in the last series. He and Terry hugged each other after the series, if they can get over it, so can Spurs fans.

I'm not blowing it up.

I'm just trying to show some Mavs fans character. I do think it's just more than "some" though. Those boo's didn't seem like they were spread out throughout the crowd...they seemed pretty loud.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

They didn't boo Finley cause he got hit in the nuts, they booed him because he used his arm or something to lean on Jason Terry's head while they were on the floor.

Right.

You boo'd a guy becaue in a pile he used his arm to balance himself. :rolleyes Let me guess what you're reply will be... "well then how can you blame Terry for doing what he did in a pile".

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Right.

You boo'd a guy becaue in a pile he used his arm to balance himself. :rolleyes Let me guess what you're reply will be... "well then how can you blame Terry for doing what he did in a pile".
This guy acts like the Mavs fans never seen a basketball scrimmage over a jump ball before. Guys have tripped over each others heads before. It's a pretty stupid comment to justify the boos.

[MWILL]

First of all, that wasn't finley balancing himself. As for Terry he should have grabbed, not punched. :lol Therefore, Dallas could closed that series out in 6 not in 7 games.

P.S. To all the Detroit Fans: Don't worry, Dallas will take care of the Heat in the finals for ya.

The Heat have nobody to guard Dirk.

The Mavs have nobody to guard Dwayne Wade. This should be good. (assuming you beat the Suns)

Well, thanks, I think, Mavs fan. We would have rather done it ourselves. But, since we didn't, I would rather see you win the Western Conference against the Suns. If you win this series, I will root for ya, but if the Suns win, I will go back to my Eastern Conference and root for the Heat. I don't like the Suns, and I would just as soon not see the Heat win because I hate Walker, and Payton! Wade is okay and so is 'Zo, and Shaq and Riley have too many rings between them. Besides, the Suns are too beatable. Take Nash out of the game and it is over. That is what they would probably do first. Short series. Heat in 4. But Mavs would be a contest! So, put the Suns down as soon as you can!! (this is hard!) GO MAVS!!

[angel_luv]

That's an easy question

Do I hate finley, Hell no! He's one of our dear ex-mavs, his MAVS jersey will always be on my wall (I respect what he did for our franchise). We hate him because of that jersey he choose to wear.

:depressed . If the Wllaces couldn't stop Shaq neither can the Mavs. If Tay and Rip can't stop Wade neither can the Mavs. Shaq had 28 and 16 against Ben so heres Shaq's averages against the Mavs: 35 and 20. This might be the heats last crack t the championship unlike the Pistons though because Shaq isn't getting any younger along with Payton, mourning, and Walker.

[SPARKY]

It's not like the Pistons didn't have a good offense. The Heat's D is a little better at this point than some believe. I think the Heat can do better on the glass against the Mavs than the Spurs did.

Ben Wallace is a great defender, but his size is the reason why he's going fishing this year (and not to mention Detroit's lack of offence, BTW the Pistons make Miami look good last night). Diop & Damp will have more of an impact than the Wallaces.

JUST WONDERING: Why are the Spur fans pushing for Detroit to win, because the last time I checked the Pistons owne your asses this year.

[dknights411]

Hi.

The Spurs got outplayed too. On their home court. In a Game 7.

Bye.

A Game 7 WE forced after being down 1-3. Just remember how close you guys were to choking up the entire series.

Both pull for each other because we play the same way, but thats only why I pulled for the Spurs. As for Bens size yep that hurt, but Diop and Dampier will be getting fouls called on them left and right. The heat have no one that can gaurd Dirk though either.

[Shank]

yeah


mavs vs heat
or
suns vs heat


the nba sucks. this is equivalent to a 7 on 7 game in football

Why would you say it sucks? Because the teams YOU want in the Finals aren't there? I guess you can petition Stern to change the format so the best regular season teams automatically make it to the Finals. Any team that makes it that far will have earned it through their hard work. Any team that doesn't came up short.

How are those Edmonton Oilers doing, by the way?

[Shank]

all three teams are an embarrasment to basketball and dallas and miami's style of play are prime examples of why the US keeps getting its ass kicked in international games

Pretty fucking weak, chief. Surely you could have done better than that. Maybe you can go suck on the Celtics or the Lakers cocks for awhile, seeing as they have so many trophies and that's all that counts as acceptable to you. Spurs fans are so easy to draw offsides and they ALWAYS resort to trophy or ref talk.

And when we do, Mavs fans do nothing but refer to how we refer about trophy talk. You can't come up with anything either, unless the Mavs win this year.

[Shank]

Because last year's trophy won't bring your team back from the dead this season. You can hate on the Mavs all you want, but they rightfully sent your boys packing.

[EVAY]

I was rooting for Detroit because I don't like what Pat Riley did to Stan VanGundy and I really can't stand Gary Payton and Antoine Walker. I have been rooting for the Suns in their series because I like their coach and I think Steve Nash (who is admittedly an ineffective defender who spends too much time holding on to the jerseys of whoever he is guarding) is hands down the MVP this year for keeping the Suns where they are with Stoudemire being out all year. Plus, I admit I cannot ABIDE Mark Cuban, or most anything about him. He embarasses real fans I think.

Having said all that, I think the finals will be the Heat and the Mavs and that the Heat will trump the Mavs because they have NO WEAK PLAYERS, even from their bench. What's more, I hope that the Heat win. If we can't represent the West, and the Suns can't represent the west, I want the East to win.

Well its not just Spurs fans. That NBA Finals commercial on TNT, the one with all the past highlight stuff includes not a single second of Mavs footage. Why? Because the Mavs have never been there before. There is no footage to show. Championships are what count. They're what matters. Thats what all the players are going after. If it wasnt then why play as a team at all. Why not hog the ball every time you get it and then jack up a shot even if you have 3 defenders on you? Why do players go to other teams for minimum contracts? Its the reason the play the game. Thats why fans of teams with multiple championships will ALWAYS bring up the trophy talk, and if the Mavs win one this year and one day you run into some Clippers fans talking trash, you'll bring up the trophy too.

[BigD1]

The Spurs should be there.

The Pistons just got outplayed.should've, would've,could've...Mavs just made the plays at the end. Unfortunately, for Spurs' fans, your team didn't execute at the end of those games. Anyway, if Terry plays game 6, that shit is done with in 6. U can't seriously say the Spurs should be there. They got outplayed just like Detroit.

Meanwhile, Spurs won't be seeing the promiseland for a very,very long time. Dallas has a roster of young guns who haven't even reached potential yet and PHX will be SCARY next year with Amare back. Not to mention, Miami isn't going any where and Lebron and Cleveland are 1 solid player from being Championship bound. SA has 10 contracts on lock at about 63 mil and will not be a player in the free agency. They will be even older next year. Times a slippin away.

You're delusional if you think the Spurs are going away.

The Mavs time is now, so take advantage of it.

[mavsfan1000]

Yeah since the spurs don't play defense anymore than there goes their championship hopes. Duncan will never have a better series than he did against Dallas and Bowen and Finley will slow down to make Dirk's job even easier next year.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah since the spurs don't play defense anymore than there goes their championship hopes.Not at all. The league changes the rules every year the Spurs win the championship because the Spurs get a little too dominant on D, and the Spurs take two years to adjust.

You know people say that about alll the greats "he'll never play better than this _____" or "he'll never outdo his performance against ______." They said it about Michael, and they've been saying it about Shaq for years. Well look what good that did. People said he'd never get to the finals without Kobe. He's there. Said he was done when he left LA, all of his good years were over. Wrong again. Really now, do you think Duncan is all downhill from now on?

[ChumpDumper]

Duncan will never have a better series than he did against DallasYou'll still be throwing the same scrubs at him.

Nowitzki is the player least likely to be able to replicate this season's performance.

[BigD1]

:tu


this NBA season was such a waste.

The Spurs and the Pistons had great years, neither are in the finals.



F that, this league sucks.Josh Howard missed 20+ games, Daniels missed 20+, Stack missed 26 games, Harris and Van Horn missed almost the entire last 2 months, Terry missed 10 games, and Griffin missed 16. And a lot these injures were concurrent and Dallas still won 60. Mavs easily win 65 games if these injuries didn't plague them. So, IMO, Dallas would have had a very, very special season. Even more so than the Spurs or Pistons. That's hardly a waste to me.

[BigD1]

Nowitzki is the player least likely to be able to replicate this season's performance.yeah right, the guy is only 27 and he gets better every year. Look for Dirk to improve on another asset...with his defense or most importantly, passing out of double teams. Also, he is just now getting this "driving to the lane thing" going. this super star is not even in his prime yet.
In fact, If Dallas wins the Title this year, I expect Dirk to win MVP next season.

[strangeweather]

Also, he is just now getting this "driving to the lane thing" going. this super star is not even in his prime yet.
27 is pretty close to the peak of the curve for most guys. I'm not sure how much more driving the lane we're ever going to see from Dirk, though I could be wrong.


In fact, If Dallas wins the Title this year, I expect Dirk to win MVP next season.
If voters had respected the Mavs more pre-playoffs, he could easily have won it this year. He doesn't even need to improve to at least be a top-3 MVP candidate. And if Nash can win, it's not like anyone's going to be holding Dirk's D against him. :lol

[SPARKY]

28 in a few days. This is the top, especially with him being so reliant on the perimeter game. If he had developed a post game he might be looking at a longer useful career.

[East Coast Babe]

Sparky, Dirk is not so reliant on the perimeter game anymore. Didn't you watch the playoffs? He goes down the lane much more often. He can shoot from the perimeter, but not nearly as often as he used to. That left with Nash, I think, or it left when Avery came in, not sure which!

[SPARKY]

Dribble penetration is part of the perimeter game.

[jamezyjamez]

28 in a few days. This is the top, especially with him being so reliant on the perimeter game. If he had developed a post game he might be looking at a longer useful career.

So I guess Timmy is on his way down...so sad. If Dirk's next two "downhill" years are as good as Tim's, I will gladly take that.

And the "if" games are fun, too...like...if Duncan could shoot more than 40% from the FT line, he'd lead the league in scoring every year. "If" he had developed a FT game, he would actually be useful in crunch time...fun fun fun..."if" Manu had a basketball IQ higher than his jersey, you win Game 7...

[SPARKY]

TD actually has a post game, so he'll last a bit longer.

[strangeweather]

So I guess Timmy is on his way down...so sad. If Dirk's next two "downhill" years are as good as Tim's, I will gladly take that.
I don't think anyone's saying Dirk is going to tank. But it's not like he's going to suddenly sprout a bunch of new facets to his game, either.

At the point he mostly is what he is -- and obviously, that's pretty impressive.

[jamezyjamez]

TD actually has a post game, so he'll last a bit longer.

That makes sense because playing in the post is a lot less wear and tear than playing on the perimeter.

[SPARKY]

Playing on the perimeter places a greater reliance on a player's quickness and agility. Less so playing in the post. What tends to decline for a player as he hits his 30s?
