Mavs Fans (in regards to Suns-Spurs game)

[Amuseddaysleeper]

who do you root for in this situation?

[lurker]

I'm going with the Spurs on this one. Just to shut down the "Suns will win the title" talk temporarily. :lol

[ponky]

today (thursday) i will be rooting for the spurs. in the playoffs, i will be rooting for the spurs. i don't like crapshoots, i'd rather see the spurs win in any matchup against the suns right now.

[endrity]

thanks, i've been meaning to spend some more time with photoshop work for the playoffs i haven't done so...i'm really looking forward to the game tonight, tonight's games were terrible except for the raptors and clippers games...and the jazz lost to a depleted blazers team even if the game was not so great.

I think this is why some people think that the Suns-Mavs rivalry is more heated.

Most Suns fans would never root for the Mavs.

This is weird, because
it seems like when the Mavs play the Suns, more Spurs fans pull for the Suns
but when the Suns play the Spurs, Mav fans still pull for the Spurs, :lol

(though I don't know who the Suns fans root for when Spurs play Mavs)

lol, now that you mention it, it IS weird, although, spurs fans were rooting for the mavs to win the last game for opportunistic reasons that had to do with the seeds. now that it doesn't matter much, i guess i could root for either team but i appreciate playing the spurs more, it's a grind out game whenever we meet and i love that we're both in the same state, all the fans talking smack, etc. with the suns, not so much history there, they were never the hump we had to get over the way the spurs were. as for spurs fans, i think it pisses them off more that a *newer* team beat them last season when they were (and still are) one of the league's best...spurs fans just wanna see the mavs get beat down again, doesn't matter who finishes them off...kind of the same way mavs fans root for any team to beat the heat, because of last season.

also for me, i've always liked finley more than nash

Daaaaaaaa Spurs.

Should be a fun Thursday night of basketball watchin'. Thinking of grabbing a pizza.

Is Wade supposed to play yet?

Cant they both lose? :depressed :depressed Tho I wont lie. I still love Finley and Nash even if they are now rivals. I just dont love them when they are making shots and plays against us! :lol :lol

Hope the Spurs spank the Suns, then everyone will be saying the Spurs are the front runners for the championship

[Findog]

who do you root for in this situation?

Yeast infections for members of both teams.

[monosylab1k]

Fuck em both.

But I'll root for the Spurs only because the Suns are fake contenders.

Spurs-Mavs are the only two true contenders for the title. I hate the Spurs, but I do respect them. I don't really hate the Suns, I just hate the sickening amount of respect they get for a team that clearly doesn't play a style conducive to winning in the playoffs.

gotta give it to this man for the thots and the signature!!!! :clap :clap

in this instance i will definitely be tuned in and screaming GO SPURS GO!!! I cant stand the Suns... as much as i like Nash and used to crush on Raja... I cant stand em starting with the Coach and it trickles on down thru the Matrix to the benchwarmers... i dunno, as "entertaining" as their play is to watch, I think it's unlikely that they will succeed in a road to the Finals with more focus on offense than defense... just my .02 tho... and who am I?

[DubMcDub]

Without a doubt, it's the Spurs.

[bdictjames]

I was rooting for the Mavs in last year's Finals. I hated the Heat.

When the Mavs do somehow get to the Finals again this year, I'll be all out supporting them, except when they play the Cavs bec. Lebron is exciting to watch.

[Xylus]

See? Mavs fans can't stand us! Now that's a rivalry!

And Fuck the Mavs, too.

[mFFL03]

I thought I was going to end up watching it by myself, but apparently my friends and girlfriends want to watch it.

so watching party is on for tonight...beer...yelling...and maybe some steaks

oh yeah and...

Go spurs Go

[ponky]

lol all the mavs fans in this forum rooting for the spurs tonight except for one

GO SPURS GO!!!

[ponky]

See? Mavs fans can't stand us! Now that's a rivalry!

but mostly, we root for the spurs in this scenario because of this:

i root for Spurs because they are a texas team and i have a certain respect for them that i dont have for another opponent

I'll be rooting for the Spurs too but only because we need the Mavs to clinch home court. It will be very weird to root for the Spurs.

The sperms will fertilize the suns ovaries tonight!!

[Dalhoop]

I will root for the Spurs, Rockets and Hornets.

Its simple.

If the hornets make the playoffs in the eight slot, Dallas-New Orleans ... Not much travel there to the games.

If the Rockets win vs the Jazz .... Not much travel to the games there :)

And Finally

San Antonio is not that far either. I could attend a road game in each city as well as home games

Got to love it.

Most Suns fans would never root for the Mavs.

The fans of the two teams hate each other.

I think you're reaching a bit. I really don't care that much about who wins tonight's game. I don't think most Mav fans care that much about the Suns to "never" root for them. The Suns have just replaced the Kings as the team other than the Spurs that the Mavs are competing against for the western conference title. Mav's fans would root against them if they thought it helped the Mavs cause just like they'd root against any team in similar situation. I really don't see how tonight's game matters to the Mavs one way or the other so I'm just rooting for an entertaining game.

[Dalhoop]

I actually like the Suns more then the average team, they play an entertaining brand of basketball, which is more then could be said of many other teams.

As far as liking them, I would but them on the same level as the Raptors. I watch them for various reasons (Most of which have to do with young stars in the making)

As I have said before, I only hate one team (Pistons) and only truely root for one team (Mavs)

Although I will hope that the Rockets, Spurs and Hornets win :)

[Bookit]

Avery has said that some players will be resting as soon as the home court is clinched.

[ponky]

on second thought, after some of the faggy posts in the spurs forum, fuck the spurs

[Shank]

No doubt.

You'd think they'd be used to winning by now, but I guess not. I think the word 'humble' has been lost in their vocabulary this late in the season.

[mavsfan1000]

The spurs won. Now for the rest of the season fuck them. :D

[mardigan]

Were just excited, it was a big win, not all of us have potential record breaking teams this year

[Shank]

Finley/Parker 41 minutes, 37 for Bowen, 35 for Duncan.

I'd love to see those kind of minutes hold up in the 2nd round v. the Suns. Eventually, they'll get their way and break out into SunsBall. Not saying the Spurs couldn't beat them, just that it's going to take a lot out of them to do so.

[ponky]

No doubt.

I was telling my bf that there wasy no way I wanted them to win by double digits and the game was perfect because they lost their big lead towards the end...I thought this would keep them level-headed, apparently not. Spurs played well tonight but it would be ridiculous to say that the Suns' mistakes were all a result of the Spurs' D...they made plenty of unforced errors.

[Shank]

And I find it hard to believe that the Suns will look as out of sorts for long spells in the playoffs as they did at times tonight.

[ponky]

they won't...the suns/spurs and whichever one matches up against the mavs are going to be up and down games, all hard fought series. spurs fans are high on their win tonight, they'll come back down to earth when they lose again.

oh my, who's that?

[Shank]

The key to tonight's game was Barbosa. Nash had a C+ effort, but Barbosa was rough. I doubt we'd see him go 0-5 from 3 next time these two teams match up.

The Suns also need someone to stick around and clean up some rebounds. There's no reason for Marion and Stoudemire to have fewer than 10 rebounds when the team is shooting that poorly from outside.

And when was the last time the Suns shot 18% from 3? They had the open looks, but weren't making them. I don't want to hear that the Spurs D forced that, either. Suns shot 38% to San Antonio's 41. If we're going to give credit to the Spurs D for the Suns shots not falling, then it's only fair to do the same for Phoenix's for allowing a subpar shooting percentage to the Spurs. Props to the Spurs for beating the Suns, but taking a look at it after the dust has settled shows that Phoenix did a lot to beat themselves.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm happy with tonights win, but I don't think it'll be a sweep or Spurs in 5


I think we'll win in 6 with some hard fought games and def. more appearances of Suns ball.

me too. i have season tix but i will need to sell every other game to be able to afford paying for next season's tix...i'm going to try and buy some tomorrow morning though so that i can take my dad (a spurs fan, ugh! haha) and my bro (a pistons fan, eh)...i know there are a 1000 available for the first two games in dallas, any idea how many are available in s.a.? i was thinking i'd get a ticket for me and my dad so he can see the spurs play, even if i already took him to the last mavs/spurs game in s.a....he wants to see them again.

I actually live in toronto, so I'm not too good with the actual AT&T Center, but with the way the spurs fans in SA seem I'm sure you should be OK for playoff tix in SA

(unless james white is expected to make an appearance, then expect a fast sellout
:lol )

[JMarkJohns]

If Cuban wasn't the owner of the Mavericks, then I could root for them, even if they did beat the Suns.

I typically root for the team that beats Phoenix, because if you're going to lose, lose to the eventual champion (as if that's not a defeatists attitude, right there :( ), but I couldn't last season. I hate Cuban. I hate that he could get a Title and a class act like Colangelo never will. I hate that he can act the way he acts because he's an owner, then justify his antics and rhetotic because he's a fan. No. Owners should be held to a higher standard. This includes dumbass cheapskate, Robert "Chickenman" Sarver.

I pull for the Spurs or Heat if the Suns get ousted. Probably will always be that way.

No shit - it's annoying me a lot. I guess that game in Phoenix was just an aberration because the Suns won by double digits at home, while they lost by 7 in SA. I guess homecourt advantage doesn't play a factor because it's so close to the playoffs so the Spurs are in "championship mode." However, to them, it's not an aberration that Finley hits more 3's than the Suns as a team on Thursday, when countless numbers of Spurs fans have called for "Findog's" head this entire season. I'm not saying the Spurs didn't play pretty good defense all game long to make the Suns go 2-11 from 3pt, but there were a few Bell/Barbosa corner shots that were good looks but didn't drop.

Still, if I have to see more BS about how the Mavs/Suns are great "regular season teams" while the Spurs are "experienced," "veteran," and "know how to win championships," I might go on a Riverwalk shooting spree.

Of course, half the Spurs fans on here will jump right back off that bandwagon after their next loss. I've never seen so many flip-flopping fans. You can really tell who understands basketball and who doesn't by how they respond to individual regular season wins & losses (and that goes for any fan base, not just the Spurs fans).
