Right cause Dirk never gets double-teamed and Duncan never gets fouled from a couple of feet outside the paint. That's why everyone was crying foul when Dampier blocked his shot outside of the paint in the semis. Now you're just talking out of hatred for the Mavs with no reasoning behind your statements. Anyway, I have nothing wrong with Duncan, he's a great baller so I'm not going to bash him but I think your comparison is dumb.
BTW, way to focus on stupid silly stuff like sigs. I believe you posted this earlier, right?

This guy is a douche bag, take what he says with a pound of fucking salt. All 88 of his post's are nothing but nonsense.

Dirk rarely gets double-teamed like Duncan does... no one double-teams you at the 3-point line, dollface. You're right, Duncan can be a couple of feet outside the paint... not 20 feet and getting "bear-hugged." That's what you all call defense up there since Avery came to town, right?
Haha, oh, so I'm making excuses, but not the girl who says that Wade and Duncan have gone to line way too much the past couple of seasons (how can I be wrong to view this as a thinly-veiled excuse as to why you lost in the Finals last year)?
It's not really an excuse from me, because I'm just pointing out that they weren't playing well and they should have won those games (oh, and I think when your two-time MVP is out for a game against the #1 team in the West, it's not an excuse to say he would have made a difference in a 3-point loss... I figured you'd take pity on me too, since the officials blew a call and we all know how much you care about that).
I was saying that they didn't get blown out by Utah and the Clippers like the Mavs have. In fact, they haven't been blown out at all this year: they've been in each of those losses, and just didn't execute down the stretch. However, now they are executing, so the rematches with those "better" teams in the West should turn in their favor, I hope. Basically, I'm saying that nothing about the Mavs scares me when we face them. Unlike facing the Spurs has scared me every year since '03.
Lastly, please don't get involved in my discussions with that little bitch dirk4mvp - my goal is simply to get under his skin and call his homer ass out. You seem to be less of a homer, but more of a Suns hater, so I'm giving you a little hard time, but I still respect you more.

Ummm, first off, you should once again check and see how many 3s Dirk's taken this year before you pull rabbits out of your ass. He's been trying to take less of them and working on getting inside a bit more.
Please point to where I said that I thought Wade and Duncan have gone to the line way too many times? I never said such a thing. If you read carefully, what I pointed out was that Dirk goes to the line no more than do Wade and Duncan, see the difference between those two statements? The only reason I point this out is because there are fans who like to bitch about officiating...I'm not one of those. Sigs are funny and meant to rile up people, you do understand that with your *he posts like a girl* comment, right? I didn't even bring up the topic of fouls, you did.
Lastly, I'm not a Suns hater, nor a Nash hater. I just think the Suns haven't gone the distance yet...never said they won't but I don't like little shits like that Nash poster telling us to not count our chicks before they're hatched or however that dumb saying goes.
As for Dirk41MVP, I'll try to refrain from posting, I hadn't noticed his discussions, but have at it. I'm moving on to something else for now...until we meet you guys in January!

Well, I guess we can agree that I don't like being generalized with all Suns fan homers, just as you don't like to be generalized and included with all Mavs homers.
I was just saying that you used Duncan and Wade as your examples, so I read between the lines and assummed you were upset about officiating in the Finals (you use Rasheed Wallace as a source in your sig quote), and that you say Spurs fans complain too much about Duncan - both seem to indicate a chip on the shoulder...
Re: Biggest threat to the Spurs- Jazz or Suns?
too hard to tell. Jazz are unproven in the playoffs so they are a question mark. Suns are usually not too tough for us in the playofss Amare or no.

The Suns are a different (not saying better or worse) team than previous years. Diaw and Banks can make a difference with their D. It'll be interesting, but that's another reason I said Suns over Jazz in this thread.

I'm not basing it on last night. Last night simply served as an example.
If not for a miracle comeback in Houston... we would be 0-2 against them this year. Not to mention we don't have an answer for either Wells (the new Spurs killer) or Yao.
Houston matches up favorably against the Spurs.
Yeah... I don't expect Juwan Howard or Battier to shoot flawlessly against the Spurs every time they play. But consider that McGrady wasn't even playing.

I think the Rockets play better as a team w/o TMac. Yao gets more shots and that's definitely better for them. Of course, I think they need TMac to have a chance in the west but he needs to defer more to Yao.
I'm not sure who matches up well with Yao. He abuses the Mavs everytime they play as well. The Mavs just concentrate on stopping the other guys when they play.

I was wondering if those bizarre lineups and strange rotations were part of a big Pop plan not to give our supposed playoffs opponents some material to work on.
He did the same against the Mavs.
I don't mean he wants to lose those games, but sometimes it seems like he's making the exact opposite choices that everybody else would have made. :(
Does he want to save his weapons for later ?
CIA Pop ?

Haven't y'all seen this every year since Pop has been the Spur's coach? He experiments with lineups/rotations for the first half the season until he figures out what works best. This is why the Spurs always start playing their best basketball in the second half of the season and into the playoffs. As long as the Spur's have the best record or are close to the best record Pop can get away with doing this. He has a good enough team to get away with this and he takes advantage of it. Avery does the same thing and you know he learned it from Pop. Avery experimented with how he used Jason Terry the first 20 games of the year and it cost them a 2-3 losses at least.
I'd think most of you Spur's fans would realize this by now and not be too concerned with him using different rotations or lineups early in season. Obviously, it's going to cost the team a few losses but you can't learn what works best w/o seeing what doesn't work.
I promise you he's not trying to hide anything from possible playoff opponents this early in the season :lol
Pop is a GREAT coach!!! I guess some of you have only been fans thru the successful years and sometimes lose sight of that or don't realize it.

I get you point.
But we're not talking about big experimentations or major moves here.
Sometimes you see a player or a combination which has been efficient during a game completely disappear for a player/combination that has sucked badly and continues to suck, whithout legitimate reason.
And it might cost the game. :(
And yes Pop is a great coach. That's why I'm questioning.

I've only seen about 10 Spurs games this season so he, obviously, could be doing this a bit differently but that (experimenting with rotations/lineups early in season) has always been his way of doing things.

That's why I'm not really worried and I think we will see another epic Mavs-Spurs series next year. :) . See you there.
