Rumors of Nowitzki's lethality have been greatly exaggerated. The sad reality is the multitudes of other NBA players that have become lethal since that rumor got a foothold in Spurtown.Quote:

What got me about the 2006 series was the Spurs went all season long without worryng about small ball matchups, including against the Mavs, then all of a sudden in the playofss it became this crippling concern that they needed to go small.
Here are the regular season results against Dallas in the 05-06 season:
L 84-103 @Dallas, Rasho/Nazr = 21 min
W 92-90 @ Dallas, Rasho/Nazr = 42 min
W 98-89 home, Rasho/Nazr = 37 min
L 86-92 home, Rasho/Nazr = 20 min
Obviously not an in-depth analysis, but how the hell do you conclude from that that the Spurs can't match up with the Mavs playing big?
Great, cause nothing spells playoff success and championships like Don Nelson coaching.Quote:
Nelson had just finished watching film of Popovich's Spurs team, running offensive schemes that looked more than vaguely familiar.
“A lot of it he stole from me,” Nelson said with a wink...
Classic Nellie. The pompous fuck once against pandering for his genius stripes in the press and not on the court.
I just realize this nickname here in the forum :lmaoQuote:
