why does everyone think gs beating mavs is an upset?

[ducks]

I don't know why everyone is so shocked that GSW is up 3-1. Everybody knows it's all about momentum. In the 10 games leading up to the playoffs, GSW was 9-1 with wins against Dallas, Utah, Houston, Suns and the loss against San Antonio. While the Mavs were 6-4 and lost to Suns, Denver, Utah, GSW. The only win against playoff teams was San Antonio. In the last 14 games GSW are 12-2 and the Mavs are 7-7 with 7 losses against playoff teams. Looks to me like this isn't an upset. The Mavs just can't finish a quarter, a game, or a year and can't compete against tough competition.

ducks, how old are you and where are you from?

you're like an enigma of spurstalk posters

[CubanMustGo]

OK, who hacked into ducks' account?

[jbspurs]

IT'S THE #1 AND #8!! That should answer your question!.

[SpursDynasty]

The Warriors were the favorites coming into the series. Dallas was able to pull out the shock upset victory tonight, but can they go back to Oakland and win there? Probably not.

[Shank]

The Warriors were the favorites coming into the series.
No they weren't. Vegas and a vast majority of NBA experts chose Dallas to win the series. Just because you think something is one way doesn't make it so.

[J.T.]

The Warriors were the favorites coming into the series.

What hemisphere of your ginormous ass did you pull this gem out of?

[E20]

I'm just stunned and amazed.

Holy fucking shit, Ducks? Are off of work or something? This is you using 5th grade writing skills! Commas, periods, capitals, correct grammar, everything is being utilized by you! Dude, I thought I was never going to see the day when Ducks writes like this


:cry

LOL

[SpursDynasty]

What hemisphere of your ginormous ass did you pull this gem out of?

From watching GS go 6-1 vs. Dallas over the last 2 regular seasons coming into the series. Regular season records vs other teams don't matter when it comes to playoff matchups, its how you've played vs your playoff opponent.

Not to mention 3-2 vs Dallas in the playoffs.

Still the favorites.

WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST WRITE?

I fixed it. See above. An error of words, not error of statement.

it's confirmed - SpursDynasty is doing this all as a joke. He's managed to get us all with this act of his.

nobody on earth could possibly be that stupid.

[SpursDynasty]

It's not a joke.

And I'm still winning the bet, BTW.

[monosylab1k]

no doubt, you are. a bullshit prediction you pulled out of your ass simply to piss off mavs fans might actually come true. the sun shines on a dog's ass once in a while, i suppose.

I hope this is the case or he's not going to go very far in life.

Not a bullshit prediction. Why would I make such a bet and risk not getting to post real basketball knowledge/facts to a forum that has gotten away from facts/truth in the NBA?

I made the bet b/c GS was the favorite going into the series.

[J.T.]

I made the bet b/c GS was the favorite going into the series.

They were not the favorite. And 8 seed is never going to be favored over a 1 seed. In fact, most of the talking heads and experts expected a sweep or Mavs in 5. Maybe the Warriors were the favorites in Retardville, USA where you so happily reside, but for the rest of the world, the Mavs were favorites. Stop fucking saying this you useless fucking tool.

That GS took a 3-1 lead does not mean they were the favorites before tip of Game 1. You are fucking wrong, shut the fuck up and kill yourself.

Dallas has only won 2 games because of the Baron/Jacksons ejections in Game 2. Tonight, they just got a couple of lucky shots to fall down here and there, and faked a victory out of it.

[J.T.]

BUT THEY WERE NOT THE FAVORITES!

You keep saying that for whatever reason. Do I need to go pull Vegas odds for the series and show you? God damn you are the biggest fucking tool on the planet. Besides, scoreboard is scoreboard. Who gives a fuck how they won...they won. It's not like GS falling apart at the end of this game and BDiddy and Jack getting ejected make those wins count less. Go get laid.

[Shank]

Yeah, because GS hasn't had ANY lucky shots fall for them in this series. Not a one.

I agree with J.T., though, on that whole 'killing yourself' thing.

[SpursDynasty]

You guys are just mad because GS is still up 3-2.

[Shank]

You guys are just mad because GS is still up 3-2.

Yeah, that must be it. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that you contradict yourself at every turn and just the mere thought of countering most of your points takes years off of my life.

[J.T.]

You guys are just mad because GS is still up 3-2.

I'm mad that you think GS was the favorite in this series before it even started and stubbornly continue to believe this simply because GS outplayed the Mavs enough to snatch a 3-2 lead.

[SpursDynasty]

I'm done with this bullshit thread. They were up 3-1 with the only loss coming in a game in which their top two players were ejected. Don't know how much more proof is needed.

Done w/bullshit thread.

i love this guy. he irritates the hell out of mavfan, which is always good. and what Spurs fans he irritates, well, i don't know what to tell you...other than you guys need to wake up.

SpursDynasty = awesomeness

[J.T.]

I guess it takes a tool to know a tool.

[johngateswhiteley]

I guess it takes a tool to know a tool.

could be, but i said SpursDynasty was awesome. so...are you talking about mavfan knowing mavfan?

[Kori Ellis]

I'm not shocked that the Warriors are up in the series. But to think if they win, it's not an upset is foolish. It is a HUGE upset. The Mavs were favored by a lot to win the series. The Warriors were incredible underdogs.

If you think it wouldn't be an upset, you aren't giving the Mavs enough credit. They are a very, very good basketball team. Golden State just matches up with them well and is playing carefree and fearless.

[ponky]

because people don't follow basketball in-depth. anyone who knows davis' game from before he was even a warrior, knows how talented he is, same goes for jason richardson before davis/sjax were on board. the warriors would not be an 8th seed but for some unfortunate injuries to their best guys, j-rich and davis. they probably would've been higher than the nuggets and lakers and maybe even houston.

[ElNono]

This is JRich first ever playoff series. Yes, he's talented, but completely inexperienced. Anybody that follows basketball in-depth knows this.

[ducks]

Bumb
