[anonymous source]

ANYONE GOING TO SEE THE SPURS BEAT DALLAS ON THEIR OWN COURT :blah

[big3bigD]

Nobody attending that game is going to see the Spurs beat the Mavs on their home court. :smokin :ihit

[LEONARD]

Good post...April 15th...

I Got Tickets And I Guarantee A W On Yal's Home Court And All Dallas Fans Will Be Pissed After The Game

[anonymous source]

FANS OF DALLAS ARE STARTING TO FEEL THE PRESSURE OF THE SPURS GETTING BETTER. REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY SAY, BECAUSE THEY KNOW IF ANYONE WILL KNOCK THEM OUT IT WILL BE THE SPURES. AND THEY WILL KNOCK THEM OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blah

[Kori Ellis]

Neither team will probably even play their starters much.

[big3bigD]

sure..... :rolleyes

spurs are terrifyingly good right now... :nope

[anonymous source]

Keep Telling Yourself That

[01Snake]

No but I'l be in Houston for Saturdays game. GO SPURS!!

[mavsfan1000]

My Words Are Very Important. That Is Why I Capitalize Everything Like This.

[bulletedge]

Like Kori said neither team will play their starters much.

As I have been instructed so many times now on this board, regular season games are totally meaningless...so it really won't matter who wins. Besides, playoff seeding will have been established by then.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I'll be there for sure with my Silver and Black on. If the division race tightens up I think this will be a playoff atmosphere game and all starters will play their usual time. It's the third to last game of the season and I don't see us letting up on this game either way.

[Clutch20]

Hey, forget the two teams playing, why not let us fans take swings at each other on game day instead, then go for beer afterwards and sing praises to TexasBall dominance!

Typo? Did you mean Spares?? ;)

[anonymous source]

U No These Dallas Fans Talk As If They've Won Something I Don't Get It They Haven't Done A Damn Thing Yet. We All Know That The Best Record In The Nba Doesn't= A Championship. Ask Detroit.

Yeah, but do that and you'll end up knocking the quiche out of them and

Haven't you noticed that regular season games matter if it's the Spurs winning them? If the Spurs beat Dallas on April 15th that will become the most important game of the year and have great meaning. If the Spurs lose, it will mean nothing. :rolleyes

And same with a lot of Mav fans in regards to a Mav victory or loss.

Our late Feb to March games have always been formative and incubative. They're our emergence months despite what record has been produced up to that point.

Remember now, early season talk and comparisons + peaking too early + tired legs = bad pacing and unrealistic goal setting!

So these past few weeks signal, to us, something very special.

And we keep a close watch on the Mav injury reports.

[jeffdrums22]

Dallas is a franchise on the decline. Their peak was the NBA Finals, and as of now, they are still not the NBA champions, and it is almost a year later. Maybe trading Dirk for Alonzo Mourning (since he beat them) would help.

To me, regular season wins (and the current win streak) of the Spurs are just what they usually do: Take care of business and beat teams they are supposed to beat. Their win against Dallas opening night was just that, beating a team they're supposed to beat.

[beachbarbie948]

schhh i wish i was going

[ponky]

i don't think i stopped laughing whilst reading this thread from post #1 to the last post, highly entertaining...except kori's right, neither team will play their starters, and viva las estrellas, i highly doubt there will be a division race come april...i could be wrong and we could have a season ending injury, but i just don't see that happening.

A couple of minor injuries thus far but nothing that serious.

So what was it when the lost twice to Dallas (at home) after that? :lol

[Clutch20]

Avery preaches "overplaying"
How is ya'll's injury reports?

Overplaying meaning giving more than 100%.
As a player if your coach tells you, initially in the year, to shoot for homecourt advantage, you will find yourself doing this all of the time while on the floor instead of letting the game come to you.

Only, if you don't know how to pace yourself, those nagging little injuries
you get while overplaying all the time your're on the floor will show up in the playoff season.

Ask the Suns.

In the NBA, any team on any given night can win against any other team
when they "overplay." Or is the Mavs win/loss record perfect at this point?

Overplay when your main player is out and your team can win without him.

Overplay on defense by faster-than-usual transition and jumping up and down while waving your arms in the dribbler's/shooter's face on every single play.

Overplay while crashing the boards to get your rebounds.

Overplay to contest every shot.

Overplay to pull hard on that ball the opposing player has nestled hard against
his solar plexus.

Overplay
1 a : to present (as a dramatic role) extravagantly : EXAGGERATE b : to place too much emphasis on
2 : to rely too much on the strength of -- usually used in the phrase overplay one's hand
3 : to strike a golf ball beyond (a putting green)
intransitive verb : to exaggerate a part or effect

Is that Ok?

Now, where's your answer to my question;
How's the Mav injury report looking?

What you call overplaying I call getting prepared.

[BeerIsGood!]

Neither team will probably even play their starters much.

Depending on where the Spurs are in relation to Utah or Houston - they may be playing their starters.

But if Dallas isn't, the win doesn't mean anything other than potential seeding.

[Clutch20]

A couple of minor injuries thus far but nothing that serious.

What do you mean by "overplaying"?

Here's the "couple" of minor injuries report I guess you can call it that then:

The only bad news for the Mavericks came in the fourth quarter when Josh Howard sprained his right ankle. He finished with 20 points.

Howard was helped off the court with 6:11 to play after he took a jumper and landed on the foot of Atlanta's Joe Johnson. X-rays were negative and Howard made the trip to Minnesota where the Mavericks meet the Timberwolves on Tuesday night. Howard, who's been playing on a sore right ankle sustained under similar circumstances in a game last week against the Miami Heat, is listed as day-to-day.

"Hopefully he should be OK," Mavericks coach Avery Johnson said.

Reserve Jerry Stackhouse, playing extended minutes with starting guard Greg Buckner out with a bruised left knee, contributed 19 points and a season-high nine assists for the Mavericks.

"Dallas is good, they try to do things the right way," Atlanta coach Mike Woodson said. "They have so many weapons, it's like, pick your poison out there."

Also out for the Mavericks was swingman Devean George, recovering from a sprained ligament in his right knee.

Dallas had only eight players with 10 minutes or more, and the Mavericks needed their reserves to grind out the victory.

[mavsfan1000]

Those 2 players injured don't get many minutes. They are backups.

I answered it when I asked my original question.

Dallas had only eight players with 10 minutes or more, and the Mavericks needed their reserves to grind out the victory.

I'm still not sure what your point is? That Dallas plays harder than everyone else which is why they have a better record? That the 2-3 minor injuries that they've had this season is because they play too hard (overplay)? That they will be tired come playoff time?

They certainly go 9-10 deep every night so no one is getting too many minutes. They've been one of the most fortunate teams in the league this season in regards to injuries.

I'm glad for the Spurs though since they're not playing too hard to save themselves for the playoffs :rolleyes

Ok...

Buckner could've played last night if needed. He's fine. Howard is obviously fine too...17 / 7 last night...

I'm not following your point? :dizzy

The Mavs are relatively healthy IMO...

[shelshor]

What you call overplaying I call getting prepared.
And being motivated

[dbreiden83080]

Like Kori said neither team will play their starters much.

As I have been instructed so many times now on this board, regular season games are totally meaningless...so it really won't matter who wins. Besides, playoff seeding will have been established by then.

Which is why i don't see 70 wins for you guys. AJ will want to rest up and get ready for the playoffs. We are not going to catch you for the 1 seed so there is no need for him to push the petal to the medal like that.

[viggenja37]

I hope to be there in my #4 jersey!

[adyer]

So it sounds like you're saying that, because both teams may not play starters very much, therefore Dallas will lose.

"What kind of idiot would I be if I said something like that?"
"You'd be a San Antonio Spurs fan, mister, so just watch your mouth!"

Ya'll don't get it, my point is that, relatively healthy in March, going full speed, without proper pacing, translates to more serious forms of those "nagging" injuries when you have go notch it up later down the road. If you're already overplaying, you're asking for the same taxed bodies to assume a greater load. And if your team has had little experience "playing injured" during the playoffs but has to deal with them, well then that's where the difficulties arise. TDunc, Manu, Parker have played injured, during those past playoffs and championships. But they paced themselves accordingly, having also played for their international teams during the off time of the year.

I can still recall in the '05 run when TDunc had both ankles heavily taped while playing the Sonics and he got tangled up and then fell to the floor and
stayed there for a while.
The crowd cheered. That was his motivation. He got up to answer the challenge as well as to put the game away. He knew how to play injured.

Pacing.
Lets see what happens with it.

And I'll still keep my eye on your team's injury reports to see when what I said, will happen because of poor pacing.

When and where your team does it pacing and how judiciously, will determine the degree of it's success and longevity into the playoffs.

I've already posted earlier when and where we get going.

Funny through, I'll actually get pleasure watching yourselves reach for that many wins, what is it, 70?
And I'll enjoy looking for the wear and tear.
And watching the minutes of your players reach Suns-like proportions.

Wrong! The Mavs aren't concerned with anything but getting the #1 seed in the playoffs. There's no talk about reaching 70 wins except by the media. They're just going out and playing them one at a time.

Your talk about wear and tear on the Mavs is nothing more than attempt to exonerate the Spurs from being below the standard your accustomed to. The Mavs use their bench as effectively as anyone in the league. Barring a freak injury, they'll be fine in April.

Please, no freak injuries! Can you imagine the incessant Mavs/Spurs diatribe after the '07 OBrian is placed in our display case due to maybe DNow falling to injury or Stackhouse messing up his ankle or shoulder or somesuch?
Wouda, couda, yada, no, please if we get beaten this year I want it to be by a team that is 100% all there.
Which is why I keep one eye on injury reports.
If you ain't the ones that will find the way to beat us cause ya'll didn't slow down and Avery didn't stop screaming about manning-up,I 'll never stop the complaining, so talk to your team island dude and remind them that it isn't easy to not get rattled in the playoffs with 3 heavy behemoths batting down your franchise player!

JHO didn't never play no double seasons NBA-National Teams ever, he's a one league boy and so he better play on a rolled up ankle maybe play on two rolled ankles during playoffs it's been done before, TDunc did maybe he can teach JHO how to do that........

FANS OF DALLAS ARE STARTING TO FEEL THE PRESSURE OF THE SPURS GETTING BETTER. REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY SAY, BECAUSE THEY KNOW IF ANYONE WILL KNOCK THEM OUT IT WILL BE THE SPURES. AND THEY WILL KNOCK THEM OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blah
sounds like the spur version of the dirk nowitzki troll

[1techsan]

Mavs fans, they are terrible. I mean we have all those trophies. They don't have any trophies in Dallas unless you count the COwboys, and they are not really in Dallas, they are in Irving, and We have trophies in San ANtonio, nice big trophies, and they are shiny, and smooth. Our Basketball team is better, they don' have as many wins and play a much slower, and more boring game but they are better because someone said so. And our football team is better too, uh, er... nevermind.

[FauxTimmy]

Tech, you're such a spurs groupie.
you like the spurs like a groupie...

[Trainwreck2100]

And our football team is better too, uh, er... nevermind.

It's hockey

So only football & basketball count?

[Trainwreck2100]

And baseball

[1techsan]

And baseball

Baseball does not count. Unless you are over 80.

What really counts is how many trophies you win this year. I think it is tied right now.

If they are not better than the Mavs, who are they better than, the Suns, well maybe not, the Knicks, yeah.

For a new team motto. We're better than the Knicks, Sort of.

That's because he's a Mavs fan.

There's plenty more room here on this thread for other loopy, Yankee Northerner's who happen to live north of Waxahachie Texas called "Trophyless Mavs fans but only if most of your wurds are spled corekly; then you are quite welcome. I've got my South Garland and Oakcliff filters on, so say whatever!

Yes, you are the Masticated Scavenger. You'd like to be like the Spurs. but then your favorite Spur Tim Duncan is always honest when he says that all the Krispy Kremes you eat only makes you a better sugar-saccharine candidate to run for the Dallas City council which not only tries to buy culture for it's city but also has a team owner that tries to buy a championship as well. There are some things in Texas that are genuine and have roots that go back for centuries and then there is "bought culture."
Dang, the Chaparrals got out of there just in time!
And found an honest, genuine home where they could earn their spurs.

Are you that proud that your franchise had to tank games in order to get Duncan? That's alot better than an owner trying to buy a championship! What a crazy idea that an owner would spend his money to better his franchise! :rolleyes :wtf

[mqywaaah]

ANYONE GOING TO SEE THE SPURS BEAT DALLAS ON THEIR OWN COURT :blah


I can see you're like a Nostradamus of some sort. :toast

Yes, thanks for the love, LOOPY's, y'all my trophies.
Thanks for visiting your betters here and CONGRATS for upgrading your crime-infested area with A WALMART?!! Per your city council press release and I quote:

"The site has been a black eye in northeast Dallas, he said, with its drug- and prostitute-infested extended-stay hotels, crime-ridden apartments and empty office buildings."

Lake Highlands, the center of Dallas Culture, yep, what'll go on in that new WalMart parking lot, my oh my.........

Now that's your LOOPY Yankee Genius's thinking there, for sure.

Helotes voted against letting WalMart build a store in their town.
They said it would bring too much traffic and increased activity requiring more policing and monitoring.
Instead they kept their green belt intact and improved their infrastructure.

Well now, the Mavs, according to your assertions, are now the heart of soul of Dallas. What trend would that imply; always falling short?

See you later loopys.

Clutch20's mantra:
"Midseason we catch hell, by April we jell"
(that's just bait, loopys!)

Are you crying now because WE HAVE Tim Duncan, the same man you derided last year in all your loopy posts? And his legacy, 3 Championship Trophies (roll your eyes now) continues to, as we speak, to be discredited by you North of Waxahachie whining crying wanna-be's?

Let's see what money can do now, um.......
Dallas Maverick's Payroll:
$74 million 2006/07 Estimated NBA,
$22 million over cap

San Antonio Spurs Payroll:
$60.9 million 2006/07
$8.9 million over cap

Oh yeah....(quote) "What a crazy idea that an owner would spend his money to better his franchise!" (unquote)

Where and what has that diaparity gotten you, Loopy's?

OK SA Hayseed,you are ridiculous, so this will be my last response to such an idiot as yourself, but...

Cuban's spending has gotten the mavs the best team in the league right now.

And check your figures for 08. The Mavs and the Spurs are around the same area.

Go Hayseeds!! Go Spurs!!

I love it!
Nothing like the sound of loopies grinding their teeth.
And "check around" yourself for the awesome "support" network that Cuban has at his disposal, those $$ don't show up because officially they don't exist.
Ah, the greater the greed the more money we need.
Love also that Yankee term, Hayseed?
Gee, thanks, OK, Hayseed I am then.

I don' really hate Dallas, I'm truly fascinated by a city that tries to unify itself as regards it's sports franchises but is truly polarized by the affluent portion being totally fearful of mixing, in other venues, with the "saltier" portion of it's citizenry.

I only visit Dallas or pass through about every 4 or 5 years, the last time for a funeral and that was in a little town past Dallas called Chacota, honestly.

Being somewhat interested in what I'll place here I'll boldface those parts that will help to elucidate:
(BTW, I'll not post anymore on Dallas vs people issues because I don't want for Kori to have to place this thread in any of the other forums)

People relating their experiences:

Well,

Dallas is a city growing but with so much cultural divide especially between Anglos and Africian Americans, Houston is far more acceptable. Let’s face it, we all have our own beliefs and quarrels but the “Powers that Be” here in Dallas are so far removed from what is really going on and what is needed. What will it take to get everyone a little closer.

Houston RULES!!! Houston’s diverse community has an attitude of “we can get it done”. They’re not bogged down with issues such as North V. South.
They are fortunate to not be surrounded by other cities such as Richardson, Irving, Plano, Duncanville and etc.

The Cowboys, the Cotton Bowl, and one day maybe Texas/OU will all be in Arlington for one reason:
Arlington, Texas (the country's 50th most populous city) is the largest city in the U.S. that does not offer its citizens public transportation. In May of 2002, Arlington residents voted against the creation of the Arlington Transit Authority, and effectively voted yes to the new Cowboys project.If the Cowboys wanted to be in Dallas, they would be. It's not as important for a football stadium to be in a downtown area as it is for a basketball or baseball arena. Everyone knows the Rangers should be in downtown Dallas.

And who uses public transportation the most?
Make sure they stay away from the games, now.
