Why are the Mavs so good and so cool?

[Amarelooms]

Just want to see why the Spurs fans think this is? Is it because of the Big German.....or is it the Little General....or their awesome owner. Discuss lol!!! :elephant

It has to be their humble and long-faithful fan base.

someone's bored

[Amarelooms]

come on Spurs fans....we all know the "Mavs are getting owned" you guys can do better

[davi78239]

In all honesty, it's Mark Cuban for turning that franchise around single handedly. He adds a certain vibe and excitement to the organization. If your a Mavs fan, you love the guy to death. If not, he can easily be someone you hate with a passion (especially to most Spurs fans). That's just my honest opinion.

[J.T.]

Mark Cuban turned the organization into a bunch of sore losers and thugs. Mavs had more people suspended in the postseason than anyone. Coincidence? Maybe not.

Congrats on getting to the Finals. Maybe they'll do it again in another 25 years.

Wow, a Spurs fan that can see this...that's EXACTLY right...

Thugs?? :lol

But I thought the Mavs were soft?

Terry - dumb move "punching" Finley...
Stack - hard foul...can't fault him for that...
Mbenga - give me a break...really...

While technically correct that the Mavs had the most suspensions in the postseason, it's a bit misleading based on the circumstances...

[clambake]

Spurs fans think mavs are cool because of that awesome choke job in the finals.

[ShoogarBear]

If Cuban owned the Spurs I'd kill myself.

[Obstructed_View]

In all honesty, it's Mark Cuban for purchasing the team, firing Quinn Buckner, hiring Don Nelson, drafting Dirk, trading for Finley, signing Nash, pushing to get the city to build the arena, negotiating with American Airlines to secure the naming rights, putting Playstations in the lockers, and bringing in AJ as a protege to Don Nelson.

[Solid D]

Bogus contention. Spurs fans don't think Mavs are cool.

Jesus. First off Cuban bought the team in 2000. Dirk was drafted in 1998-by Don Nelson who was most certainly not hired by Mark Cuban (obviously). Nelson is the man most resposible for putting the Mavs roster together including the drafting of Josh Howard and Dirk. They'd be in the toilet without Dirk and Nelson is solely responsible for landing him. Cuban gets wayyy too much credit for their rise. In Dirk's rookie season Nellie kept playing him even when he sucked and the media was giving him hell for it. He kept saying over and over that he was going to be a great player. How Cuban ever managed to take credit for the Mavs rise is beyond me. Maybe he stirred up ticket sales but Nellie and Dirk are most responsible. My list
1. Dirk
2. Nelson (for putting the roster together).
3. Avery (better coach than Nelson, but Nellie drafted Dirk and Howard)
4. Cuban (for promoting the team and writing the checks)

[davi78239]

But be honest guys. I'm sure there's at least a handful of Spurs fans that would love the guy (Cuban) if he were owner.

You forgot "and giving everyone in the arena a free airline ticket the last game of the 2005-06 regular season."

This theard is so funny!The Spurs fans owns Mavs fans.The Heat fans owns Mavs fans.

When the Mavs GET "so good and so cool", I will let you know. Right now, they are just wannabees.

[Trainwreck2100]

come on Spurs fans....we all know the "Mavs are getting owned" you guys can do better


What does this have to do with the summer league thread?

[Eric Dampier]

it has to be there championship collection

i love this. Spurs fans are true losers because the only thing they have left to look at is PAST glory. kinda like Cowboy fans. the fact is, once Duncan retires, you guys wont be sniffing a championship for a LOOOOOOOOOOONNNGG time. you wont win one anytime soon, because they are old and there are so many teams getting better. Last year was your last chance to win it and im so glad we ended the dynasty. Mark my words, your run is over

[Mavs_man_41]

Haha

[ChumpDumper]

past glory > no glory past or present

[Mavs_man_41]

Seriously though, i see the spurs being a mediocre team from here on out untill duncan retires. After Duncan retires they will most likely be a lottery team.

I'm flattered, I truly am, but that wasn't a dynasty.

[ChumpDumper]

Seriously, bandwagon mavfans have predicted the demise of the Spurs every year since they first sniffed the playoffs.

Pardon our collective yawn.

If you consider bandwagon being a mavs fan since i was 8 years old, then i guess i am a bandwagon mavs fan.

[ChumpDumper]

So you've been a fan for two years?

Wow.

Well, you will be sorely disappointed when that doesn't happen, then, hum?

[George Gervin's Afro]

2 things their
1 division title
and there lone finals appearance being choked away..

[ponky]

Mavs had more people suspended in the postseason than anyone. Coincidence? Maybe not.


How many did we have suspended? Like 8 or 9? Or maybe it was just two more than the current championship team, one of which was for a guy standing in a suit a couple of rows up from the bench. :rolleyes

[DarrinS]

The Mavs are cool because:

a) they never choke
b) their fans have a really high BB IQ
c) the players are a "class act"
d) the owner never makes excuses for the team
e) None of the above


Answer: e

[Eric Dampier]

past glory > no glory past or present

we're better right now, that's all that matters.

[Obstructed_View]

You forgot "and giving everyone in the arena a free airline ticket the last game of the 2005-06 regular season."
Actually, that was the coolest thing he ever did, but when rich people spend money that doesn't mean anything to them it's funny when people get overly excited about it.

Yes I was being sarcastic. Mark Cuban did only one of the things on that list that I mentioned. The arena was already under construction, the naming rights were secured, the core players and the management were all in place. The only thing Mark Cuban did for them is get them an extra lottery pick by costing them the 2000 playoffs, which they turned into Etan Thomas if memory serves.

[Amarelooms]

Spurs fans are struggling...come on ya'll can do better...bring it. BTW I so love the Vaughn signing....not sure why Udrich is in Pops doghouse...much like Daniels was here I guess...

[mabber]

Seriously though, i see the spurs being a mediocre team from here on out untill duncan retires. After Duncan retires they will most likely be a lottery team.

You're clueless! The only way the Spurs become "mediocre" as you say is if Duncan gets hurt for a long period of time.

[awmyplace]

:lol

That's the only part of Pop's coaching style that AJ inherited; the bottomless doghouse.

[NBA Junkie]

Hmm...What do I like about the Mavericks?....Can't think of anything.

Do they never stop whining?

[Shank]

Do they never stop whining?

Corky, I think you need to look up the definition of whining. Much like bathing and talking in public without drooling, the core concept has been lost on you.

[ChumpDumper]

we're better right now, that's all that matters.You lost to fucking Miami, dude.

MIAMI!

If you choke away four straight to the Heat, that's all you have bragging rights to.

[clambake]

Chump is right. Now leave us to our grief.

[ChumpDumper]

:lol

I'm still pissed at Manu.

It must have been fun being a mavs hater and watching the finals.

Damn you! This was the first day since that happened that I hadn't thought about that (until just now). Getting over that is gonna take some time and a lot of alcohol :drunk
