Mavs @ Warriors thread

[Skip Bayless]

i think the Mavs will get blown out of this game, and i will go further to say that they will lose in the first round in seven games. Dirk is NOT a leader, and when the pressure mounts he will choke. the Mavericks 66 win season doesnt mean anything. they lost last year in the Finals and will continue to come up short.

they are probly the worst team in their state

Even though im a warrior fan i gotta say those comments are pretty ridiculous. Bayless did say today on cold pizza that the warriors would take the mavs to 7 games but i generally disagree with most everything bayless says. I just want to get in the playoffs 1st and if we do make it we might not even play the mavs. I have read on espn that cuban said they would rest players for this game but its not his call.

Haha, what warranted this? I like Golden State. Why would you want to F that up?

[boutons_]

Warriors suck on the road, 11 - 29.

They'll go down 0-2, maybe split in Oakland, then lose 4-1 or 4-0.

[johngateswhiteley]

does dallas try and win this game?

[mavsfan1000]

does dallas try and win this game?
They should.

[johngateswhiteley]

They should.

...i am wondering. cause if they win, they could then avoid playing golden state in the first round. it will be interesting...and i wish it was on tv up here.

It also will help them get used to the way Golden State plays which I think is the key to beating Golden State. Even if they lose they could take in some ideas on how to beat them.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Rest the starters dont try to win this game. NO NO and NO!! If someone gets hurt I am going to go apeshit on Avery. We will get ideas on how to "play them" in game 1. Fact is no matter what way we spin it, the Mavs road to the finals is much tougher then last year. Rest the starters get ready for Sat or Sun!

[J.T.]

I'm sure Avery will only play the starters 26 minutes.

[SpursDynasty]

I expect Dirk, Howard, and Terry to all log 30+ minutes for this game. This team has too much pride and isn't really secure yet, and they shouldn't be considering the biggest Finals collapse in NBA history. They don't want to go 0-3 vs GS on the year. Before winning against SA, as far as playing the top West teams, they had lost their last 2 vs Phoenix, and their last game vs Utah. They were on the way to losing to SA, but beat them...with Duncan ejected. SA's top players all logged in a lot of minutes too, but SA was still playing for the 2 seed.

They have too much pride to not play their starters against GS.

A team that had the #1 seed wrapped up, playing in its 80th game of the season, not only played their top 3 guys 30+ minutes, but had Dirk in even after Duncan was ejected, so they could get the win. That just makes them look even more weak. I've officially lost all respect for this team. I hope GS takes it to them tomorrow night and in the first round, if they meet.

So the mavs should figure it out than? Similar to the rockets series 2 years ago? Dallas lost the first 2 games at home and it took everything out of them to eventually figuring out Houston. The Warriors will hold nothing back as they are desperate to get into the playoffs.

I've read alot of your posts and kept my mouth shut just because they are too idiotic to comment on. With all of your posts sounding pretty much like this one, you have to come to the conclusion that you are obviously insecure about something. I'm not even so sure it's about your team. Any problems in your life we should know about? Does your mom not give you enough attention? Has anyone told you that you have alot of hostility pent up inside you? You need someone to talk to? I'm here for you.

How dare you call out Spursdynasty. The guy is right and you need to listen to him. Hell the Mavs have never even been that good according to him. Teams just played like pussies against the Mavs hence the reason why we won all those games. :rolleyes Learn the game fool!! :drunk :drunk :drunk :) :lol

[Leetonidas]

Mavs need to rest their players already and stop playing for a better record. Whoever plays them in the first round is going to get owned anyway.

[ratm1221]

Nope, for your info I have the two best parents in the world. I'm in college, have a great job, car, beautiful girlfriend.

Am I competitive when it comes to sports, or being a fan? Yeah.

Are you taking my posts too seriously and personal? Yeah. I think you're projecting what's wrong with you, onto me.

The fact that you took my post serious enough to point out how great your life is probably proves otherwise. With the way you act I'm pretty sure your a virgin. I knew people like you growing up. Pamela Handerson don't count as you "getting laid regularly basis". Sorry.

:clap

[trueD]

I think Mavs go for it. The Suns will go for it too. Is there a V-Bookie for minutes played by starters? Hey Kori, if you aren't busy... :lol

Both games have huge ramifications for the 8th spot, and pretty big ramifications for the Suns & Mavs too, imo. Hey, dejavu.

[Leetonidas]

Okay, while I will admit some of SD's posts are really ignorant, the smack you guys are bringing in is totally weak and lame. What does being a virgin have to do with anything? And why does he have family issues because he's viewed as a stupid poster? Shit people, look at yourselves. He may not be the most intelligent poster but some of you look extremely stupid jumping all over his ass constantly like an online predator or something.

[monosylab1k]

You're right, I am a virgin. I don't believe in sex before marriage. Unfortunately a lot of people think sex is everything (that's probably you). And if me pointing out how great things are in my life makes you jealous, then suck it up. I figure you never got to go to college. You sound uneducated to me.

Hey SpursDynasty, you never answered my question in your "1st Round Upsets" poll.

I don't think a grown man needs anyone feeling sorry for him on a basketball message board. Well, maybe some, and I'll leave it that.

[ratm1221]

I vote Mavs sit this one out. But as Avery has already proved, we won't know until game time what he is "really" going to do. I'll admit I was very surprised he played the starers so much in the Spurs game.

[Leetonidas]

He brought it on himself. Nothing you can say will make me feel sorry for anything anyone says to him.
I'm just saying, keep the smack talk relevant and not this family life-virgin bullshit.

It's squashed. I said what I had to say. Shall we move on?

Warriors over Mavs tomorrow night anyone? :lol

[Leetonidas]

Indeed.

[ratm1221]

The best thing that could happen would be for Avery to bench the starters and our bench whip the piss out of the Warriors. Best scenario.

[sabar]

Dallas will go all out, they have too much pride.

[NorCal510]

stop being pussies, pussies!!!

[trueD]

No shit, Sherlock :lol

Isn't going to happen. Avery is going to fight the Warriors with his *ahem* manpower, all of it. Wherever he can find it.

you're a straight up poster, good luck in the playoffs, i look forward to attending a fun and competitive series against the warriors, they are a very good team and it's good to see that they are finally back in the playoffs after such a long drought

halo 2 teabaggers on xbox live are really lame too, must be a guy thing but it's really weird

[LEONARD]

They said on the radio this morning that the Mavs will probably rest their main players, which I think would be smart...

Why blow your load and give the Warriors a chance to gain even more confidence? Their confidence is through the roof when they play the Mavs already. Let the serious games begin with 2 in Dallas...

That makes me feel good...If you had to wager money in Vegas, figure out which way Skip is leaning and then run, don't walk, in the opposite direction. The Dubs give the Mavs matchup problems and fits for sure, they have the better backcourt, but playoff basketball is about who is better defensively and can execute better in the halfcourt: that's Dallas. I often wonder if Bayless actually believes what he says or is just playing the wrestling role of a heel.

All that said, when a team beats your four times in a row, you can't sleep on them or take them lightly. We'll have our hands full with Golden State.

[picnroll]

Mavs will play their starters big minutes in a desperate effort to avoid having to meet GS in the first round.

[SpursDynasty]

Why would Dallas have to avoid GS if Dallas is the best team in the NBA?

That question isn't hard to answer. They're simply not the best, if they're playing to avoid a certain 8th seed.

[Dirkgreatness]

Dirk, Josh, and Stack aren't playing.

[td4mvp21]

^Hmm I wonder who will win? :lol

[SpursDynasty]

Dirk, Josh, and Stack aren't playing.

I'll believe it when I see it, or at least see it on the box score on NBA.com.

Contenders dont get scared of inexperienced playoff teams. :rolleyes :rolleyes

[mavsfan1000]

Well I'm encouraged that Avery has enough confidence to face the warriors. Almost like he wants to face them.

[Kobulingam]

Why does it have to be an either or question?

Because if the answer to the first question is NO, then D'Antoni is out of his damn mind.

[mavsfan1000]

The warriors playoffs have been going on for the last month. Almost every game is a must win game for the warriors.

He should want to face anyone. If we fear teams, we wont win a championship. We will be fine man. It is almost playoff time!! :clap

Maggette has 4 fouls for the Clips with 9 mins to go in the 3rd.

No question about it, they're trying to send GS up Avery's backside.

Mavs scrubs have 28 points on the defensive Warriors juggernaut with less than 3 mins to go to half. I think I'd rather have Beno than Barea.

Barea must really suck, cuz I'd even take "air" over Beno (play 4 on 5).

[lurker]

I'm pissed at Avery for not taking this game seriously. If he's not worried about the Warriors, he's not paying attention. :lol

[ratm1221]

but why lower avery to d'antoni's level? I understand the warriors are your 1st rd matchup but wouldn't you rather rest the guys?


look at the suns game right now, bell nearly injured himself 3 times already and for what? a meaningless game.


You guys will get your revenge in rd 1, don't worry

[lurker]

He was going to play some minutes tonight, but then Avery decided to go with his brilliant plan of tanking the game.

[Findog]

Of the two LA teams and the Warriors, I'd rather have one of the SoCal squads. But if you can't beat the Warriors, then you're not a title team. So avoiding them is irrelevant. Should the Warriors pull a Denver-Seattle, then we can't whine and cry about how we would've won a title if only we had faced the Clippers or the Lakers.

[Kobulingam]

Suns have the lead going into 4th (74-71). Nash, Amare 25 minutes, Bell 27 minutes, Marion 21 (because he was stinking up the joint), with a quarter of fight still left.

No suprise, since D'Antonio even worked his players hard in the All-Star game.

[schadenfreude52]

Anyone know if Dampier is good to go (is he practicing normally?) ?

I'm pretty sure that he's fine. Avery's just making sure that he's 100% for the playoffs. If this is any indication at all, Dampier lives on my street and when I saw him loading stuff into his SUV this morning, he appeared to be fine.

[Findog]

I honestly think that it's the fans who concern themselves more with jockeying and jostling for seeding position than the coaches and players. If Avery goes all out to "send a message" that the Mavs are better, he risks tipping his hand on how he would execute and attack in a potential series, as well as risking injury to a key guy...then the second-guessing would be "You idiot! You should've rested guys."

I think the Warriors give us matchup problems and the Clippers would be an easier opponent, but you aren't a serious title contender if you can't beat Golden State. If the Mavs are who they think they are, then they have no reason to be afraid of GS or any other team. Bring 'em on.

[Kobulingam]

I'm pretty sure that he's fine. Avery's just making sure that he's 100% for the playoffs. If this is any indication at all, Dampier lives on my street and when I saw him loading stuff into his SUV this morning, he appeared to be fine.

But is he practicing hard? If not his timing and conditioning will be horrible in the series against GS. Mavs need the two headed center to be playing well.

[Kobulingam]

D'Antoni doesn't descriminate. He's going to make sure Marion gets his 30+ minutes too.

What a fucknut D'Antonio is. Once Nash breaks down D'Antoni will be exposed as nothing more than a motivator (who lets Nash call the plays).

[ponky]

He should want to face anyone. If we fear teams, we wont win a championship. We will be fine man. It is almost playoff time!! :clap

fuck yeah, golden state won't be as tough as most are making it out to be, maybe six games but it won't go seven...we'll be fine and shouldn't worry about who we play, the other half of the bracket will be playing just as hard so there's no *grizzlies* break for any one team


anyway, it's good to see the warriors back in the playoffs, i like the team alright and they're all healthy and ready to go

lol, barea scored 15 points in 20 minutes against the jazz last week, he can drive waaaaaaaay better than beano and knows how to take care of the ball a bit more...hint: warriors are playing starters, we're on the 2nd and 3rd string guys right now

Any sense of nervousness for Dallas fans (honestly, even a little?) with GS with a huge lead and Phoenix possibly on the way to victory = GS clinching 8th seed tonight

I'm really not nervous. Sure, it would be easier if we were facing the Clips, but I'm definitely confident about us getting the job done. We'll see you guys in the WCF. Book it.

[Findog]

Uh, no. If we can't beat GS, then we wouldn't have beaten Sas, Phx, Mia or Det. If we're the champs, we'll take all comers.

not at all...how many times did we beat the heat last season in the regular season before they stomped us in the finals? i can bring up examples of this happening with several teams but you'll just come up with some other lame b.s.

I have refrained from posting anything other than general NBA discussion with less of my own opinions to avoid stupid polls about why im the worst poster here, or 30 insult replies to one post stating who I think is the MVP. Everyone already knows what all my opinions are. It's getting hard enough to keep up with reading here with all the Crawford/Duncan threads. We don't need any more anti-SpursDynasty threads like we had last week.

As far as the JC suspension, there isn't a single person on this forum who disagrees with it. If you do, you don't appreciate high profile basketball games and the fact that people want to see athletes play and not miss out on that for bizarre ejections.

Warriors will take it 7 if they get in. Not saying they'll win.

me too but it's mostly 90% because of d'antoni...the other ten percent is spread between raja and marion...tim thoomas used to have some of that too but he's no longer on the team...everyone else is alright

[aaronstampler]

Suns lost their last two games while trying their asses off.

Fuck you Joey Crawford. :madrun :madrun :madrun

[SpursDynasty]

Looks like Clippers may win this. GS will probably win too, so nothing's changed as far as chances for the 8 seed tonight, other than GS still holds it as of now.

[ponky]

I have refrained from posting anything other than general NBA discussion with less of my own opinions to avoid stupid polls about why im the worst poster here, or 30 insult replies to one post stating who I think is the MVP. Everyone already knows what all my opinions are. It's getting hard enough to keep up with reading here with all the Crawford/Duncan threads. We don't need any more anti-SpursDynasty threads like we had last week.

As far as the JC suspension, there isn't a single person on this forum who disagrees with it. If you do, you don't appreciate high profile basketball games and the fact that people want to see athletes play and not miss out on that for bizarre ejections.

Warriors will take it 7 if they get in. Not saying they'll win.

that is incorrect about the consensus as to jc's suspension, i've read several threads of people who thought it might have been harsh...however, i am not one of them so don't assume anything about me.

when you say things like the jazz are better than the rockets and bash the rockets for not being any good, it's hard to believe that you watch any games outside of spurs games

yeah that sucks hard when this much is on the line. but don't you think the spurs are going to beat the suns regardless of hca for the second round?

[aaronstampler]

19 offensive rebounds the Suns allowed at Houston yesterday and 20 today to Clips. Weak.

[monosylab1k]

I'll be shocked if the Mavs don't sweep the Warriors in round 1. honestly. i thought i was scared, but there's no fucking way in hell i'm scared of these guys. They create a few matchup problems, yes, but mainly this season they caught the Mavs at bad times (like a 17 game winning streak when the Mavs were due for a bad game).

I'll be pissed off if the Mavs let the Warriors win ONE game in the playoffs. I'm willing to bet my dick and at least one of my testicles that the Mavs beat Golden State in 5 games or less.

[endrity]

The Spurs will beat the Suns regardless, go take a nap. I think Mavs-Houston would be a much more interesting series to be honest.

[cheguevara]

I agree with everyone here. dantoni is a fucking asshole. the sun must go down

[Kobulingam]

Amare sucks on defense.

[SpursDynasty]

Comes down to Clippers vs Hornets and Warriors vs Blazers tomorrow night. Clippers have to win at all costs. Warriors can't lose unless Clippers lose too.

Unless Warriors blow the game tonight.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Suns/Spurs is going 6 games at the minimum and 7 games as the 2nd possible scenerio. I really get a kick out of people who just act like this is 2005 all over again. Spurs will have their hands full against the Suns come round 2. Just dont expect this to be 2005.

Small ball is hard to prepare for when you're on the second night of a back to back and the Warriors coaches and players are as rockhard and ready for bear as me after viewing a Jessica Simpson video. In the playoffs, it comes down to who can get stops and execute better in the halfcourt. We'll have our hands full trying to defend the trio of Davis, Richardson and Ellis, but that's the extent of it. Nellie's shit doesn't work in the playoffs, never has, never will. We're the new Spurs.

What about the Spurs holding the Phoenix Suns to their season low field goal percentage in their last meeting? Defense is defense, it doesn't make a different what year it is.

Suns played you pretty tough in that game despite them playing Spurs ball all game. Spurs didnt get 100 on them and the Suns hung in that game most of the way.

[endrity]

I haven't seen Amare or Marion defending Duncan lately, or being able to protect their own defensive board. It might not be 2005, but it's not far away either. And if you say they have Kurt Thomas now, well you know that D'Antoni barely wants to play him anyway because he does slow down the Suns and reduces their spacing. He made that mistake by overplaying Steven Hunter in 05.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

And you guys are going to sweep GS and Houston? :drunk

Fuck no. GS maybe but a healthy rocket team is getting 2 wins from us. Houston 100% is going to win at least 2 games against anybody in a 7 game series.

[Kobulingam]

Suns played you pretty tough in that game despite them playing Spurs ball all game. Spurs didnt get 100 on them and the Suns hung in that game most of the way.

Since then Suns have dropped down a level. Their defense is terrible and they have chemistry issues.

P.S. - Amare sucks on defense. Duncan will drop a load on Amare and Amare's wife.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

I want the Suns because they give us the biggest challenge between them and the Spurs. I want that team who gives us more problems because I want to see us get through it.

[SpursDynasty]

Wow, if Dallas plays its starters tonight, they had more of a chance winning. Would have given Clippers the 8 seed if Dallas played their starters and won.

JC robbed SA of the 2nd seed. Phoenix ends at 61-21 on the season. SA was on its way to beating Dallas with Duncan in. And if they had won that, they would have played their starters vs Memphis last night, and tomorrow night vs Denver. Easily could have gone 61-21 with the tiebreaker ending at the #2 seed.

[schadenfreude52]

I want the Suns because they give us the biggest challenge between them and the Spurs. I want that team who gives us more problems because I want to see us get through it.

I want to see the Spurs because I want a playoff experience just like last year's. Those Semis were damn epic.

Yes I want the best as well, I want the guys that have the rings, I want the SPURS!!!

It was only epic cuz the Mavs made it that way. If the Mavs had a killer instinct last year, they finish the Spurs off in 5 or 6.

You haven't read the recent comments by Amare and Marion, or the closed door meeting Amare had with the staff. There is a reason why a lot of people think Marion is gone after the season. Two huge egos like that can't coexist.

[monosylab1k]

I haven't seen any evidence yet that they've developed that killer instinct....that's the big thing that scares me about this team.

[SpursDynasty]

What if GS wins tomorrow night and Lakers drop their game? That would move GS up to #7.

Do we really need to see Kobe and the Lakers humiliate themselves in the first round vs Dallas.

That book about the Suns that came out a few months back pretty well documents the ego battle between Amare and Marion...those two dudes DO NOT like each other. It also pointed out that Marion's got self-esteem issues which is why he tends to have so many shitty playoff games and strokes his own ego and demands others do the same.

Ok now that would be fun to watch...

[endrity]

Well he pretty much did say that he would appreciate being in another team "where he could really show his stuff, and make a run at the MVP". clearely he's got issues, and a man who calls himself Black Jesus, and his nickname is STAT for Standing Tall and Talented, you know you have a problem in hand.

[Kobulingam]

Marion is also a dumbass. Has anyone heard him speak in an interview. I mean, damn. He's almost 30 and lived in an English speaking environment all his life, but he speaks like a 8th grader growing up in India attending an English standard school.

[schadenfreude52]

Yes, Dirk Tony and Manu speak better english than he does. He watches cartoons all the time. I guess there is a reason why he went to UNLV.

Jorge Garbajosa, who only came over from Spain a year ago, speaks English 10 times better than Marion.

Marion can't put together ONE PROPER sentence together in an interview. I mean, I don't care about grammar or HIP HOPness in speaking. I mean Marion just can't from any type of sentence properly in a reasonable amount of time.

Warriors have 150% as many points as Dallas.

I don't think the Mavs will lose to GS but I think it could likely go 6.

yeah, i am kind of thinking the same. i don't see how the Mavs could lose to the warriors, but i could easily see it going 6 games...on a stretch 7.

[johngateswhiteley]

what? it was only epic b/c they refs handed you games 3 & 4. sorry little boy...

no. and my point is the Spurs are still the better team...wait and see.

[Islymore]

i agre with MONO... I am concerned bc I havent seen the killer instinct in Dallas. Not so much concerned with the GS run as I am the run to the Finals overall. I havent seen anyone during the games, turn it on for those last minutes... and maintain that beast until the last few seconds run off the clock. I hope I see it during the GS/LAC series and it continues thru the run to the Finals.


i gotta agree with PONKY - please just let all the ref talk from LAST SEASONS POs go already!!! we can't complain about the refs in the Finals w/o it being a excuse, but Spur fans can for games 3 & 4 of the 2nd rnd of the POs last year? and i understand its yalls board - yall can say what yall want... but i think the pot and kettle have already met and both of them are just as black... like someone else said - Dallas executed more, aside from the reff'n... and I can admit the Heat executed better, aside from the reff'n. Now that we all get it... can we all find another excuse, please??

and - who cares, GS or LAC... if we can't beat em then Dallas isnt this elite team the media hails them as. I'm thinking 5 games, max 6. I wouldn't bet a dick on it, but thass only cuz I dont have one.

[to21]

Yeah mav fans don't complain about officiating. :rolleyes

Their owner and coach do it enough for them. :lol

[LEONARD]

I expect Dirk, Howard, and Terry to all log 30+ minutes for this game. This team has too much pride and isn't really secure yet, and they shouldn't be considering the biggest Finals collapse in NBA history. They don't want to go 0-3 vs GS on the year. Before winning against SA, as far as playing the top West teams, they had lost their last 2 vs Phoenix, and their last game vs Utah. They were on the way to losing to SA, but beat them...with Duncan ejected. SA's top players all logged in a lot of minutes too, but SA was still playing for the 2 seed.

They have too much pride to not play their starters against GS.

A team that had the #1 seed wrapped up, playing in its 80th game of the season, not only played their top 3 guys 30+ minutes, but had Dirk in even after Duncan was ejected, so they could get the win. That just makes them look even more weak. I've officially lost all respect for this team. I hope GS takes it to them tomorrow night and in the first round, if they meet.

Good call...


Mavs will play their starters big minutes in a desperate effort to avoid having to meet GS in the first round.

Good call... :lol


Why would Dallas have to avoid GS if Dallas is the best team in the NBA?

That question isn't hard to answer. They're simply not the best, if they're playing to avoid a certain 8th seed.

So since they weren't playing to avoid GS, are they best?? :lol


I'll believe it when I see it, or at least see it on the box score on NBA.com.

You're dense, kid...
