I agree, although I don't know if you're being serious.Quote:

I dunno who is gonna win, the homer in me says Mavs in 6 but there are plenty of reasons the Spurs can win this series. Parker, home court, coaching, execution, Mavs shoddy defense, Mavs heartache from the rigged 2006 Finals, etc.
Aside from Parker going absolutely nuts, I don't see a single reason the Spurs can win the series. They have home court advantage, but their record at home is the worst it's been since Timmy has been on the team. Carlisle has developed his young talent giving the team some depth, while Pop has ground his into the ground or cut them loose right when they might have had a chance to contribute. The Mavs have been great lately at closing out games, and Jason Terry, as much as I hate him, has finally started to look like the player he's always thought he was. I also have no confidence in the Spurs' offense, because they rely on way too many jumpshots, while the Mavericks' game has been moving closer to the basket over the last couple of months.
Well, there is the fact that the Mavs may be the least clutch team in the history of the playoffs, and will resort to blaming everything around them as soon as anything stops going their way. That and the MMFLs counting their chickens, again, gives me a little bit of hope.Quote:
Mavs heartache from the rigged 2006 Finals
Shit, take a look at the stats from the last 3 star guards the Mavs played. If that's one of the main keys to the Spurs advancing, I'd be pretty happy if I were a low life spurfan.Quote:

Add the fact JHo has been injured/hobbled and that wether he's going to show up to play a complete puzzle and I don't think they have enough with Dirk and Terry. On the othe side of the coin, not only they have no answer for TP, but they really don't have anybody outside of Dampier to guard TD, and Dampier hasn't been that good of a defender historically on Tim. Mason has been upping his game, and if you look at the last few games, our defense has picked up considerably aswell.
Since Kidd got to Dallas, I actually think the matchups work in our advantage. The head to head record seems to indicate that aswell, with the Spurs taking 5 of the last 7 against them.
All in all, I absolutely like our chances against this team.
Good to see you're setting the bar incredibly low, OV. When the Spurs get swept in the WCF by the Lakers/Trailblazers, you'll be the only person on ST pumped up.:lmaoQuote:

Nah, it's going to be a great series. Besides we get the benefit of getting to laugh at Mark Cuban and his silly antics. He better not be seen near the river because if I see him I'm throwing his stinky ass in the river.Quote:

Mid-April forum actually. JHo is still bothered by his ankle, Barea is still borderline NBA material, and Dampier is well, still Erica. Kidd has been washed up for a while now. This is not the 2006 Mavericks.Quote:

And he'll get spot rotation minutes accordingly. JJ Barea isn't deciding this series for either team, so why bring him up?Quote:
Barea is still borderline NBA material,
We've owned your asses in spite of him. Why the irrelevant non sequitur?Quote:

Far from his prime, but still a very, very good player. You're just not very good at this, are you?Quote:
Kidd has been washed up for a while now.
And these aint the 03, 05 and 07 Spurs. For what it's worth, I think the Spurs win this thing in 7. Your overconfidence is comical.Quote:

Your thread should have a disclaimer "USELESS INFORMATION: " right before the original thread title.:lobt::flag:
So does his curse only apply to the Mavericks, or will we have a Jazz vs Rockets/Spurs vs New Orleans second round?
I thought you had the guys winning in 6 !:depressedQuote:
