Anybody wish we were playing the Mavs?

[DarrinS]

It's too bad the Mavs choked against GS. I was really looking forward to a rematch.

You have to admit, playing the Jazz is a little anti-climactic after playing the Suns.

I'm a Spurs fan first, but I'm also a fan of competitive basketball. I'm hoping the Jazz can make it interesting in games 3 and 4.

Sometimes I do. However right now, I'm having too much fun dancing on top of the Mavs' grave. Since I live here in Dallas, I'm loving every bit of the local failure discussion and obvious Spurs championship envy.

Maybe. But I'm thinking 3-1 is more likely. Honestly though, you have to understand something. The feud with Dallas is a very recent struggle and left a bitter taste in our mouth last year. It's not so much that we feel Utah is inferior as that we just wanted to pound the shit out of Dallas.

Agreed. The Suns fans were ravenous dogs and the Dallas fans can often be just plain annoying. The Jazz fans have been very classy even while getting beat up in the first two games. If nothing else I applaud their level of sportsmanship.

[DarrinS]

Even with the Nuggets, there was always that sense that the Spurs could lose. I haven't felt that yet in this series.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

It'd have been seet revenge but I don't need anymore heart palpitations this month.

Spurs in 5 vs the jazz. Congrats the the Jazz for getting this far though but you just don't match up well to the spurs. Especially since the spurs are playing their best basketball right now.

[SenorSpur]

Brother, you don't know the half of it.

That Game 7 loss and aftermath was crushing. The local players and fans became so pompous as though they had already won the NBA Championship.

However, the Miami Heat came in to save the season.

I'll always be grateful to the Heat for that.

I can't find any reason to "HATE" the Jazz like I HATE the Mavs and Suns. I just don't feel the fire and passion in this series. I look for the Spurs to come home from these 2 games as 2007 WC Champions. The Finals with the Pistons will be much more exciting.

[lebomb]

Cmon don't write us off yet. You know we're beasts at home and this series has a really good chance to be at 2-2.

lol oh the Heat won......I didnt even watch the finals hahaha. Yeah I was rooting for Maimi in a way. I really hated Shaq getting another ring though.

[DarrinS]

If Dirk had played against GS the way he played against the Spurs (game 7 especially), Mavs probably win that series.


I really don't understand it. Dirk was willing do attack the paint against one of the best defenses in the league (Spurs) and he wouldn't do that against GS? It boggles the mind.

[SAGambler]

In a way, I wish we would have had the chance to stomp the Mavs ass and eliminate them for the season.

But it was such sweet revenge to see a team like Golden State have the (just mail us the trophy) Mavs talking to themselves.

I was cheering for GS almost as much as I was cheering for the Spurs.

[Oh, Gee!!]

Yep

Spurs in 5 vs the jazz. Congrats the the Jazz for getting this far though but you just don't match up well to the spurs. Especially since the spurs are playing their best basketball right now.

I think it's that more than matching up.

If Okur would just play the way he usually does, S.A.'s 7-footers won't be out on him, Okur would get even more looks from 3 than he is already. Also, if AK would make a defensive impact on these penetrations, then this series could change. It's just Ginobli and Parker are playing too well, they read everything, even when AK comes from their blindside, it's like they know he's there, and they kick it out to a Finley or Barry for a wide open 3.

The Spurs are playing beautiful basketball, but our rebounding will keep us with a pulse in every game. We just have to hit more shots and play better defense. Sounds simple, but it's not! :D

Regardless, the Spurs are putting on a clinic.

[Dipship31]

Trying not too, but come on the last 2 games have been a Clinic. A for Effort though :).

That's kind of what I'm trying to look at. I mean we got dominated in those 2 games hard, but what were the final scores? We only lost by 8 & 9 respectively when they should have been 20 point blowouts.

[Findog]

Maybe. But I'm thinking 3-1 is more likely. Honestly though, you have to understand something. The feud with Dallas is a very recent struggle and left a bitter taste in our mouth last year. It's not so much that we feel Utah is inferior as that we just wanted to pound the shit out of Dallas.

I guess you'll just have to "settle" for another title instead. Poow wittle Spuuws.

[Doug Collins]

This Jazz series could become the Sonics series of 2005. The first two games were pretty easy wins for the Spurs but those Sonics played at a different level when they were at home, especially their role players. If Okur and D-Fish start hitting buckets the Jazz will be tough to beat in Salt Lake. That said, the Spurs only need one up there and should they get it no doubt they close it out back in Sa.

[Johnny RIngo]

Didn't the Spurs blowout the Pistons in Games 1 and 2 of the Finals? The Pistons came back and made a series out of it when they headed back home so maybe we shouldn't be writing off the Jazz just yet. I have a feeling the next two games are going to be very tough.

A loss is a loss broseph.

And for whoever said 'A for effort' (A-Train I think it was)....We are showing a half-assed attempt at giving an effort compared to what we usually are doing. Guys are whining, blaming officials and teammates for their mistakes....These aren't the usual Jazz. These are the Jazz who collapsed at the end of the season. It's a shame they came back, we were having so much fun before! :D

[SAGambler]

Not taking anything for granted. This could come back here tied. I know Utah is a tough gym to play in, but this Spurs team right now looks like they are on a mission and nothing is going to get in their way this time.

I suspect a split in Utah, but if the Spurs pull out game 3, I'm not sure the Jazz will have enough in the tank to compete very well in game 4. They will know they are bucking almost impossible odds.

That said, the Jazz fans on this board have truley been amazing compared to fans from other teams we have competed with. Lots of sportsmanship and lots of knowledge. Find it hard to even have a grudge against this team.

Enjoy the sportsmanship while you can, cause I suspect we are going to get a dose of trolls, if we win WC, not matter which team comes outta the East.

Deron and Boozer are playing well -- you just need more bench production. That's really where the Spurs have dominated.

Also, what's up with Boozer's defense? I'm amazed he's letting Oberto fly by him for easy layups.

I feel the same way about the Spurs fans. But I thought they were better than what they showed in Game 1 (the lack of a sell out, obviously)... And I thought they were louder.

One big thing I love about the people on this board is that they don't praise the GS crowd, they know where the loudest arena in the NBA is, and they'll be there Saturday. The national media praised the Warriors and their fair-weather crowd, even put up a little 'Sound-o-meter' on the screen, only to discover the crowd was as loud as like a big orchestra or something.

Ha, now I'm just ranting. Spurs fans are knowledgable and actually worth chatting with. Head over to www.goldenstwarriors.com.....see how much fun you have before you do this >>>>> :pctoss

[Dipship31]

When the Spurs get a 20 point lead, they very rarely keep on the throttle. Both games 1 and 2 were over at the half and the Spurs did just enough not to let the Jazz get too close.

When the Spurs have gotten up by like 17 and 18 though the numbers are so far in their favor I'm surprised it's even that close! Despite the Spurs looking sluggish in the 2nd halves of games they've hit the big shots when they've had to with the FT's in Game 1 and Bowen in Game 2.

[Corn on the Colb]

He's bad at this.

Defense, that is.

He constantly stares at the ball, almost unwilling to see where his man is sometimes. It amazes me that he still gets boards without knowing where anybody is at. Fabuloso Oburn-boozer-o is fast. Or at least he looks fast compared to the cement in Booz's shoes.

If it weren't for his timely 3's, I think we could be talking about how Utah stole one they really shouldn't have in Game 2. Each time we were making a clutch run, and he took the wind out of us.

Sucks for us. Deja vu of the Warriors with those 11 3's.

[Dipship31]

Also Boozer really looks like the goat for this whole Oberto clinic, but it's moreso just the Spurs executing. Multiple times in Game 2 I saw Boozer in the key by himself with 2 Spurs around him without the ball. All TP or whoever had to do was give it to one of them because Booze was just trying to play both of them. I didn't like the job he did in Game 1, but in the 2nd game it wasn't entirely his fault.

[SAGambler]

That's kind of what I'm trying to look at. I mean we got dominated in those 2 games hard, but what were the final scores? We only lost by 8 & 9 respectively when they should have been 20 point blowouts.

That seems to be a cosistent problem with the Spurs....Taking the foot off the gas and letting teams back in. It's happened all season long. And has in fact cost us a few games.

You know, we went out to Phoenix and took game one, and even Tony said he thought they played game 2 like they were satisfied with the split. It could have cost them big time in the end. Just luckily it didn"t.

Pop has to keep them focused for 48 to prevent that happening again. I really hope they are able to finish this thing off in Utah. Don't even want to see them come back here 2-2.

Ive never been a Boozer fan and think he is slightly over-rated. He is a decent role player but never the cornerstone of a team. I think he was overpaid.

Good points. Let's remember the Rockets were up 2-0 against the Jazz too and lost the series - in Game 7 - at home! Sound familiar?

Let's not book reservations for Detroit just yet. The Jazz are too good of a team to overlook. They're just not going to lay down -especially in their building. There's still work to do.

But all 28 of Oberto's points are his fault. Every one of them. I think he has had 14 backdoor cuts for layups in this series.

As for you seeing Booz guarding two guys, I believe you saw the retarded zone Sloan threw us into inexplicably. We NEVER run zone, and the Spurs absolutely exploited it every single time we dropped into it. I'd rather see us get schooled in man instead of having to sit through the torturous way the Spurs' motion offense and ball movement blows right through Utah's weak attempt at playing zone. Bad move Mr. Sloan. :nope

[Corn on the Colb]

Ive never been a Boozer fan and think he is slightly over-rated. He is a decent role player but never the cornerstone of a team. I think he was overpaid.

Not sure about right now, but he was averaging 25 and 14 for the 'offs after the W's series.

Pretty good.

[SAGambler]

So true. We don't want to run up the score.

Yeah, cause Pop will chew their ass for running up the score.

Remember the blowout in game 1 of the Finals in 05 (I think it was) where Nazr hit that three pointer as time was running out? I think Nazr was in Pops doghouse from then on.

Maybe everyone is just afraid of the "wrath of Pop" if they run up the score.

[DarrinS]

Also, if Parker is allowed to get that deep in the paint, he's good enough to get the ball to an open shooter. The key is to stop him (I'm not giving away any trade secrets here). If the Jazz can force ALL of the action to go through Tim at the post, the Spurs offense tends to stagnate. Let's see if Sloan makes the adjustment.


Also, I've really been impressed with Milsap (sp?). He's an athletic freak and he's not very tall (6'7" ?).

[Dipship31]

All of Oberto's points haven't been Boozer's fault like you said. You said yourself it was the zone we went into for who the hell knows why. Also Boozer definitely isn't overpaid, despite his lackluster defense he more often than not makes up for it on the offensive side and rebounds.

[Corn on the Colb]

Also, I've really been impressed with Milsap (sp?). He's an athletic freak and he's not very tall (6'7" ?).

He's an absolute monster on the boards/hustle plays, isn't he?

He was listed at 6'6" 1/4 at the Rocky Mountain Revue.

SO happy we have him.

[Dipship31]

Millsap is a stud without a doubt. Still kinda hard to fit him in at times, but you just have to do it because he is seriously a game changer. He won't rack the points up, but he will instantly bring in energy and is almost guaranteed to grab a few offensive boards.

I didn't know Boozer was such an awful defensive player. I can't understand how he gets so lost out there.

He is a beast both on offense and on the glass, though.

[SAGambler]

The national media praised the Warriors and their fair-weather crowd, even put up a little 'Sound-o-meter' on the screen, only to discover the crowd was as loud as like a big orchestra or something.


Seldom ever get to see a GS game other than when the Spurs play there, but from what the media was saying (if they can be believed) that the fans have been like that all year long out there.

Watching them play Dallas on their court sorta reminded me of how it was here when it looked like the Spurs would finally bring the trophy home.

[Corn on the Colb]

All of Oberto's points haven't been Boozer's fault like you said. You said yourself it was the zone we went into for who the hell knows why. Also Boozer definitely isn't overpaid, despite his lackluster defense he more often than not makes up for it on the offensive side and rebounds.

I said when Boozer was guarding two people at once, it was the zone's fault. Even when Utah was in the zone, it was usually Elson @ C for the Spurs.

Boozer may 'make up for it' on offense in some people's eyes, but he really needs to step up his defensive play the rest of this series. Okur did it on Yao, and sacrificed his offensive game because of it. And we won. Now, we can't afford to have Boozer absent on the offensive end, but he is just flat out lazy on D. Minus the one fluke steal/fast break/dunk.

[Corn on the Colb]

I didn't know Boozer was such an awful defensive player. I can't understand how he gets so lost out there.

He is a beast both on offense and on the glass, though.

You'd think playing at Duke would be a good sign.

I'm afraid to watch our National Team if they're going to play D how Coach K wants 'em to.

I never got to watch them either (thank God, it's like a bad opponent online in NBA 2K7)....But the thing that I hate is that Stern tried to force them to become 'America's Team.' If you will. And the way they play takes away from teams who play beautiful basketball (Spurs, Jazz, Pistons...weird, the teams still alive...). And then they downplay the WCF as boring. That's the worst part. The Jazz have a helluva HCA when they play at Energy Solutions Arena (or the Radium Stadium :D)... And get no credit.

That's where my beef comes from. :fro

i want to comment on the SPURS v muffs question. personally, im glad we are not playing them. not to sound like d'antonio, but the SPURS are more talented than the muffs and therefore should beat them. unfortunately, i think because of the disappointing series loss last year and the laffing ejection this year they had a vulcan mind meld type advantage. the way things are turning out this year, i think that advantage is gone. we will dominate for the next four to five years.

[Dipship31]

I laughed at the decibel meter at Oracle. We could've gotten it that high easily, but they just don't show it on the screen. Not to mention it's old news, they did that for us in '97.

It's too bad the Mavs choked against GS. I was really looking forward to a rematch.

You have to admit, playing the Jazz is a little anti-climactic after playing the Suns.

I'm a Spurs fan first, but I'm also a fan of competitive basketball. I'm hoping the Jazz can make it interesting in games 3 and 4.

Yep. I wish we were playing the Mavs to get revenge for last year. With a healthy Duncan (unlike last year), I'd love for us to be smacking the Mavs around.

muffs is a nickname that i gave the mavericks. i converted it originally to muffericks which meant to me pussies. you've heard of muff = pussy, right? so the shortened version is muffs. i live in plano, suburb of dallas and have to put up with a lot of shit from the people i associate with about the SPURS.

That Game 7 loss and aftermath was crushing. The local players and fans became so pompous as though they had already won the NBA Championship.

Well, I live in Nevada, but I used to live in Utah and I'm there all the time. Girls in Utah are freaky-hot. I was just in Phoenix (and my girlfriend is from there) and the girls are nice, but I'm still biased to Utah's and California's girls. Plus, and I'll be the first to say that the majority of Utah's population is non-Mormon, but the Mormon girls are getting hotter by the second. My friends and I had this discussion like two days ago :lol. They get freaky, after being sheltered for about 17 years. You'd like 'em. Keep an eye out. Hopefully the hot chick camera is on full 'Scope the Crowd' mode Saturday. :D

From a Spurs fan perspective, I'll take the easier road. I have noticed that my anxiety is much lower in games against the Jazz than against the Suns or Mavs. It's probably better for my overall health.

[SenorSpur]

Well, I live in Nevada, but I used to live in Utah and I'm there all the time. Girls in Utah are freaky-hot. I was just in Phoenix (and my girlfriend is from there) and the girls are nice, but I'm still biased to Utah's and California's girls. Plus, and I'll be the first to say that the majority of Utah's population is non-Mormon, but the Mormon girls are getting hotter by the second. My friends and I had this discussion like two days ago :lol. They get freaky, after being sheltered for about 17 years. You'd like 'em. Keep an eye out. Hopefully the hot chick camera is on full 'Scope the Crowd' mode Saturday. :D

I hope they wont be wearing their John Deere baseball caps :lmao

Hell yeah when I was a teenager back at my parents house my mom used to laugh at me cause I would go outside and talk to the Mormon girls cause yeah they were hot. I was all pretending i was interested in going to their church. :).

Like Corn said, once they come of age and are able to really do their own thing tons of them try to make up for lost time.

[DarrinS]

I wanted Sabonis here so bad back in the day, it wasn't even funny.


Dude was like 31 years old his rookie season. :lol

[J.T.]

I would have liked to play the Mavs, especially because right now we are playing our best basketball and it would have been a great series, no doubt. But like I said before the playoffs started, I want another title. Who we play to win takes a back seat to seeing the guys hold the trophy up in a few more weeks, especially Fin.

I'm a huge fan of Deron Williams though, so I don't mind playing Utah in particular. I really don't have anything against these Utah players. As far as I'm concerned they're solid guys that play hard and give their best effort. Thank god there's no drama in this series so far, not that Phoenix didn't pour more drama into that last series than the entire history of Days of our Lives. But the old Utah teams with Malone I did hate quite a lot, and all Spurs fans know why.

Was it the face wiping or the way he drained it 94/100 times after he did that? :D

[Testing]

If Dirk had played against GS the way he played against the Spurs (game 7 especially), Mavs probably win that series.


I really don't understand it. Dirk was willing do attack the paint against one of the best defenses in the league (Spurs) and he wouldn't do that against GS? It boggles the mind.

Exactly!!!!!!

[MoSpur]

I would have liked to have seen a Mavs/Spurs series if only the Spurs would win of course. I think there would be a lot more drama, but I really don't care who the Spurs play to get another title. I just want them to win the whole thing again. I am really wanting Finley to get a ring.

The Jazz being down 2-0 doesn't mean the Spurs are automatically in the Finals. It just means the Spurs did what they had to do, which was protect their homecourt. The Jazz will come out much better in front of their home crowd. I think the Spurs have a tough game on their hands come Saturday. If the Jazz win game 3, the series could get a lot more interesting.

I really expected a lot more from Harpring and Okur in the first two games. Williams and Boozer have played well, but the rest of the team hasn't stepped up.

[DarrinS]

Yes I am! Had a girl in HS that was all good and whatnot and kinda didn't really want to do stuff so whatever, but we were together for a while and she slowly started to want it, bad. So then she finally got some and I swear she turned into a crazy one! She wanted it all the time!

[MoSpur]

That girl from Wedding Crashers is married to that Borat dude isn't she?

[ctpsb]

Some of my two cents' worth to what I've been reading on this thread.

Would have beating the Mavs been the cherry on top of a Finals appearance?
Absolutely. I don't think the Mavs and their fans would have felt much worse if they had lost to us than the way they did. They expected to win a title and that was their biggest disappointment.

HOWEVER it's all about championships for me and should be for most Spurs' fans I would think. Boring, exciting, close, blow-outs it doesn't matter to me. As long as that beautiful gold O'Brien trophy is at the end of the trip I will thoroughly enjoy it no matter what. Months and years from now what will we notice more? The image of three (four?, five?) trophies in our photos, on our T-shirts, etc or how they were won?

I'm not sure why everyone thinks we so outmatch the Jazz so far. We have been smart in taking advantage of their inexperience and the Spurs are certainly on a shooting roll right now. But how many times in the last few years have we soundly won our first two home games only to get BEAT UP ourselves the next two on the road (Lakers 2003) (Seattle, Detroit 2005)? Utah plays very well at home and they were down 2-0 to Houston just a few weeks ago. Sloan is a great coach and he will make necessary adjustments. We must continue to respect this team.

IF however we do wind up dominating Utah I for one will enjoy it. I think we Spurs' fans have gotten so used to very close games / series that I think we'll almost feel guilty for not having a close series. As others have said it has been so much stress the last few years I for one will enjoy a blowout series if it turns out to be one (provided that said blowout doesn't hurt their preparation for the Finals).

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

One the one hand, I would have liked to have exacted revenge.

On the other, as a Spurs fan in Dallas putting up with all the bullshit, I say fuck 'em.

All the Spurs can do is beat the teams put in front of them to beat. The fact the Mavs don't have the guts or desire to get by an eight seed is their problem.

[ATRAIN]

That girl from Wedding Crashers is married to that Borat dude isn't she?

Plantar fasciitis doesn't help.

[LavaLamp]

However right now, I'm having too much fun dancing on top of the Mavs' grave. Since I live here in Dallas...


I have a co-worker based in Plano who is a die-hard Mavs fan. When the Mavs were having trouble against the Warriors, I dared not even discuss the games with him because at that time, his father was dying of cancer, and had just a few days to live.

[Findog]

Plantar fasciitis doesn't help.

I've had that before. It's not THAT bad. A person can play on it, especially if they're getting round the clock treatment from the San Antonio Spurs trainers. It doesn't hinder your effectiveness. Duncan threw down a 32 and 13 last year in that series. The PF didn't come into play.

[SpursDynasty]

The Jazz are a better team than Dallas. I don't know why everyone thinks the road to the championship has to go through Dallas. They are average. Who cares about 67 shitty wins.

I wouldn't mind sweeping Utah so SA can rest for the Finals. It's a possibility.

[41times]

YESSSSS thats what im talking about. Stories are the best :).

[batman2883]

i love not having a heart attack at the end of the game waiting to see if duncan or bowen will hit their critical clutch free throws

[ImpartialObserver]

It's too bad the Mavs choked against GS. I was really looking forward to a rematch.

You have to admit, playing the Jazz is a little anti-climactic after playing the Suns.

I'm a Spurs fan first, but I'm also a fan of competitive basketball. I'm hoping the Jazz can make it interesting in games 3 and 4.
I was looking forward to that too as I thought that was the best playoff series by far last year. Say what you will about their style of play, but the Spurs have been involved in two of the three best and most exciting playoff series over the last two years. (Mavs/Spurs '6, GSW/Mavs '7, Suns/Spurs '7).

[ATXSPUR]

What is with the hunger Spurs fans have for heart attack and hardship? I like excitement and climactic bball when the Spurs ARENT playing.

I just want to win.

And screw playing the mavs again.

[shelshor]

Revenge against the Mavs would've been sweet, but surely, as Spurs fans, we've learned how to wait 'til next year by now
I find it refreshing to be in a series in which neither team is whining to the media
It's also nice to know there are rational fans who are capable of discussing the pros & cons of both teams
I've always respected Sloan as a player and as a coach--in fact, Bowen's inside-the other-player's-jersey defense reminds me a lot of Sloan when he was on the Bulls

[Budkin]

No, seeing the Mavs choke was priceless. Plus it made an easier road to the championship for us.

That was my whole gripe as well. That guy freakin plays like Jordan vs the Knicks against us the leagues best (and according to Amare dirtiest) defense. But then he goes off and plays against a creampuff team like GS and plays like Beno Udrih's first time getting playing time in game 7 of the NBA finals with a minute to go with the score tied at 98. I just don't get it.

You think you've got a gripe? How about me, i invest about $6,000 a year in Mavs Season Tickets, we win 67 games and then get knocked out in the first round by f#cking GunShotWound and our EX Coach.....%@^#$@%@%!!!!!!

[dav4463]

Hopefully the Spurs players aren't as overconfident as some of the Spur fans. The Jazz are a very dangerous team. They came back on Houston and if the Spurs get too overconfident, we could see a Dallas-style choke job. I hope the players stay completely focused.

Man that kinda crap happens in sports. It took us a while before we won our first title. We went through years of disappointment on how Robinson was soft, the Spurs are too this too that. Once we broke through that made winning the first one all the better. Dirk has the abililty. If he plays aggressive against everybody else like he plays against us you guys will be fine. I mean it's not even just him, it seems like everytime Devin Harris plays us no matter what we do we can't stop him. I kinda see why alot of Spurs fans wanted anothet shot at Dallas now that I think about it. lol

[dmac]

I can't find any reason to "HATE" the Jazz ...

Yeah, but the Spurs were losing to Malone/Stockton and Olajuwon's Rockets -- not an 8th seeded, small-ball, perimeter team.

If the Spurs drop 4 of 5 to the Jazz, that would be a choke on the level of Mavs loss to GS.

I actually agree with you. Utah is known as the Beehive State so it would make perfect sense to change names with New Orleans. Unfortunately this is the NBA we're talking about so perfect sense gets thrown out the window.

after a tensed, so much publicity, Amare whining series against the Suns i don't think i still have the energy to even read what Cuban says if we play against the Mavs in the WC.

please, not again.

Puh-leeze...You're happy because you have Utah down 2-zip. The mamby pamby Jazz will "respect" the Spurs all the way to a playoff series loss, probably in 5. Sadly, the Jazz are nothing more than a casual warm up for the NBA Finals. Please don't pretend that it's anything more than a formality, otherwise you might begin to believe that you actually deserve to advance to the Finals. The extraordinary circumstances of the Suns/Spurs series will deprive the Spurs of truly earning the NBA Championship this year. Like it or not, this championship year will always be defined by an arguably, arbitrary ruling.

[mbass]

I think it's that more than matching up.

If Okur would just play the way he usually does, S.A.'s 7-footers won't be out on him, Okur would get even more looks from 3 than he is already. Also, if AK would make a defensive impact on these penetrations, then this series could change. It's just Ginobli and Parker are playing too well, they read everything, even when AK comes from their blindside, it's like they know he's there, and they kick it out to a Finley or Barry for a wide open 3.

The Spurs are playing beautiful basketball, but our rebounding will keep us with a pulse in every game. We just have to hit more shots and play better defense. Sounds simple, but it's not! :D

Regardless, the Spurs are putting on a clinic.


But don't get discouraged - you have a very good team. And these Spurs have been playing together for quite a while and that really helps their ability to "read" the plays. The consistency is a huge advantage.

[BigBeezie]

I would have loved for the Spurs to be the team celebrating over beating Dallas. Though, I have to say that Dallas suffering national and historical humiliation is almost as good. The Spurs beating Dallas would not be something for the annals of the NBA, but the Mavs will forever be the team that lost to Golden State....an 8th seed.

[Marcus Bryant]

:baby Nobody's going to remember what happened in a 2nd round series when this playoffs is over. Perhaps in the 1st round, when the Mavs made NBA history, but that's about it.

Truth be told, if Golden State was able to dispatch of them in that fashion, the Spurs could have had the potential to sweep them by 15 points per game.

Even if the Spurs would have played and beaten the Mavs in these playoffs, it was 10 times better watching them get owned in the 1st fucking round after one of the greatest regular seasons in NBA history!

Hey dumbass, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Suns had all of their guys for 5 of the 6 games, Spurs won 3 out of those 5. And the Suns were not going to win the championship anyway. SA had a better record vs. the West than Phoenix did. Their 61 wins came from a superior record vs. the East and junk teams.

[SpursDynasty]

It didn't come down to the suspension though for Game 5. Phoenix had every opportunity to win that game. It was tied in the final minute before Bruce nailed the dagger.

The Suns are afraid of the Lakers.

It's too bad the Mavs choked against GS. I was really looking forward to a rematch.

You have to admit, playing the Jazz is a little anti-climactic after playing the Suns.

I'm a Spurs fan first, but I'm also a fan of competitive basketball. I'm hoping the Jazz can make it interesting in games 3 and 4.

Hell no those idiots making history by getting beat in round 1 made my year win or lose a title for the Spurs.

I feel the same way. Watching Dallas go down was rich.

Agree. Dallas pulling off the biggest chokejob of all time was classic. One of the highlights of this year's playoffs.
