April 15th seems so far away, and no other match up in the NBA has my heart racing.
No other game has me looking at the clock during game day counting down the minutes.
No other game has me wash and iron my game gear.
No other game has everyone at the bar mesmerized for every minute of the game.
No other game makes me smoke a pack of ciggs and drink 10 beers in one night.
No other game makes me cheer louder or feel prouder.
No other game, is like a Spurs vs. Mavs game.
Not going to matter much. Both teams will not care . The playoffs is what they are focused on. If the division or top seed was at stake then it would matter.
Mavs probably will barely play their starters.
eeeeeeeeeeehh
Ain't gonna matter diddley squat at that point. Just hope nobody gets injured.
The two seed might still be attainable. It will be interesting to see if Avery plays his starters significant minutes. Maybe to send a message? It would be stupid to risk injury in a meaningless game.
Talk about bursting someone's bubble :lol
And some retarded Maverick fans (coughAmareloomscough) think the Spurs aren't a threat.
There is no game like Spurs vs. Mavs.
Mavs just better keep praying for us to win or for Utah to lose.
If the Jazz get the 3 seed then y'all are gonna have to deal with SA and Phx to get back to the Show. Otherwise just one of us.

:lol @ regular season
Flopnobli...you are really clever.
Here is a man with some smarts. Best thing for the Mavs is for the Suns and Spurs to keep winning. Hell even if the Suns and Spurs make some ground as long as the Mavs finish one game infront of em it's all that matters :elephantQuote:

I swore that Amarelooms was a Suns fan at first. that would explain the name. Well by Apr 15 nobody will really care unless the race tightens, which probaly wont happen since the Mavs fatalitied the Lakers and probaly wont look back now, and the Spurs will be busy fighting off the Jazz and trying to catch up to Phoenix simultaneously.
And they wonder why we clown them when we talk about the Regular Season. Who gives a shit if the Mavs finish one game ahead in the regular season?Quote:

It's really not that big of a game...Spurs win? Who cares. Mavs win? Who cares. It's not a test for either team. Of course, I'll be happy if the Spurs win. I won't mean much though.
What if the Mavs are at 69 (or 70) wins before the Spurs game? :) Mavs have to go 17-1 (or 18-0) for this to happen.
If the Spurs are still in the #2-#4 fight, we'll have a good game.
I have a feeling AJ will welcome a loss or two in the next few games. They can't be caught anyway, and a loss or two will take the pressure off a 72-win chase.
Spurs may be playing to win due to seeding issues but the mavs will be playing not to get hurt. I see the Spurs beating the Mavs' skeleton crew.
That's what I was thinking. It will be WAY too close to the playoffs, and the Mavs will have everything wrapped up by then.Quote:

What?
People keep saying how this game won't matter, but here's what will happen:
1. If the Spurs win, people will say it doesn't matter.
2. If the Mavericks win, people will say that it proves the Mavs are the greatest team in NBA history, and that the Spurs have passed the torch.
This game, whether the starters play or not, DOES matter.
Spurs have to tie the season series at 2-2 with Dallas and Utah, go 2-1 vs Phoenix, and they've already tied it at 2-2 for Houston on the season.
Regardless of who's missing or whatnot. My prediction is that the starters will play. Dallas had Dirk on the floor last night when Dallas had a 31 point lead: They are really out to prove something.
hell yeah this game does matter and I don't see AJ playing his subs. he is a proud little general.
But Pop on the other hand will give volume minutes to Beno
It's nothing.
I really couldn't care less, because the Spurs are the only other true contender. I have no doubts that the Mavericks will mangle the Suns in 4 or 5 games. I fear Utah alot more than I fear Phoenix...and I'm not too frightened over the Jazz. The Spurs are a whole other story.Quote:

1. Dallas
2. Phoenix
3. SA
4. Utah
5. Detroit
6. Cleveland
7. Washington
8. Toronto
But then again, 5th through 8th in the West = 1st through 4th in the East.
I'm sure Avery will not risk losing before his bandwagonning, classless, cretinous trolls @home, so I'm pretty damn sure he'll play all his startres to win, and run up the score, too, even it Pop plays to lose. Runts like Avery often have Napoleanic chips on their feeble shoulders.
I think this idea of not playing healthy starters out of fear of injury stinks. Rest a marginally hurt player to get him ready for the playoffs, yes.
But over-protected health in season can disappear on the first possession of the playoffs.

As for the greatest team in NBA history, stop being such a drama queen.
So, now about Dirk. AJ took him out with about 1-2 min. left in the third quarter and he sat from that point UNTIL THE END OF THE GAME, THE ENTIRE FOURTH QUARTER. Dang, this is like the 4-5th time a different Spurs fan has noted Dirk's minutes in last night's game ( < 30) ...check out the boxscore sometime.
Oh wait, it's just the same idiot posting the same idiocy about Dirk's minutes, my bad other Spurs fans. What was that b.s. last night about how the 30 point lead would be lost when Dirk sits?
You didn't comprehend what I said, but most Dallas homer morons can't.Quote:

if mavs are trying for 70, you bet they'll come at it strong.
AJ won't even let dirk try for a triple double when he's soooo close, he yanks him from the game...he could give two hoots about *trying for 70*Quote:
