I don't care that it's early in the season, but this is a Spurs-Mavs game! Its equivalent to a Cowboy-Redskins game in my eyes. I'm going to be within earshot of Cuban's seat and I hope he hears me yell GO SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm wearing my Silver and Black, proudly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spurs 98
Mavs 81
Manu will have a phenomenal game. Josh "Hee-Haw" Howard or Devin Harris will get a tech.
Kind of early don't you think? at what time does the game start?
early enough for a Mavs Spurs game!Quote:

I agree with you about the analagy of a Cowboy vs. Redskin matchup. It does not matter if it is regular season or not. It's a BIG deal!
By the way the Mavs are favored by 2.
And i guess you are really going to stand out in your Silver and Black because the Team is giving away 20,000 green Mavs shirts to everone who enters. It is to support our Texas National Guard. It is "Green Out" night at the game.
See below...
Thursday, November 15, 2007, 7 PM at American Airlines Center!
Thursday will officially be Mavs and Texas National Guard “Green Out” night as the club takes on intrastate rival San Antonio.
Similar to last season’s Dirk for MVP campaign, the Mavs and Texas National Guard will distribute 20,000 green t-shirts to all of the fans as they enter American Airlines Center. Everyone in attendance is asked to put on the shirt as they enter the building to show support for our troops and the Mavs.
Prior to tipoff, the Texas National Guard will have a rock climbing wall out on the AT&T Plaza and will also provide the Color Guard during the National Anthem.
Heh...and the Skins and Boys are playing this weekend, too...talk about irony... :lolQuote:

Mavs - 98
Spurs - 89
Mavs still match up just too well with the Spurs.
Dirk and Howard always give Ginobili, Bowen, and Duncan headaches.
Harris owns Parker.
No one can guard Terry either, because they have to match up on Dirk, Howard, and Harris, and Bass/Diop will straight up murder Oberto and Bonner's asses.
not for the mavs spurs gameQuote:

Key things:
Can we win the boards?
--- this will be KEY against the mavs. If we come close to matching them on the boards, it is a good sign.
Can we keep them out of the lane?
--- Defensive priority numero UNO. If they get in the lane, will 'Obelson' get there on the rotations?
Can we play inside-out?
--- Yeah-- the Spurs are a great perimeter shooting team; but I think we need to work TD hard inside to open up the offense. This wont be like the lakers game.
Call out to anyone: What else should I be watching for?
Watch out for a Udoka sighting!!!!
will we see the lineup we all had in mind for the Mavs or will Pop hide them?
The Spurs are clicking and already playing extremely well for November.
I'm hoping it's partially because they've got Repeat pre-occupations.
Pop can't be unhappy with 7-1, but I'm sure thinks it's bad because it's been so easy. :lol He's probably thinking the Spurs should lose @Mavs as some kind of "test" or motivator. Will Pop coach to win?
Tim is due to bounce back from a horrible game.
Tony and Manu need to keep it up.
The teams are so close, homecourt could be the difference, or like that single play vs Mavs that cost the Spurs a chance to 3peat.
The Spurs winning @Mavs would affect both teams the way I want them to be affected. :)
oh yeah, fuck Cuban.
i hope it's a good game for teams of both fans tonight...have fun tonight spurs fans...mavs win.........maybe lol
Good to see the Ponk-ster back among us :toast
This will be a good game and likely come down to the wire. In the end, I like the Spurs to pull it out. They have been playing the best ball (maybe besides Boston) in the league. The Mavs are good, but have not looked to sharp in their games. They have struggled with some pretty bad teams before putting them away. For example, Philly. For the Mavs to win, I think Dirk has to have another huge game. Spurs 98, Mavs 93

I'm interested in seeing the TP - Harris matchup. TP got fired up for that CP matchup, and we saw how that went. Hopefully he's been hearing this Harris-TP comparison talk long enough.
Flops will be a'plenty.Quote:

Me neither. I can't think of ANYBODY who would rather have harris than TP. Harris is pretty good -- just not as good. Parker is head and shoulders better. Simple as that.Quote:

But Harris is a bit faster than Parker and he does cause problems for Parker with his speed and quickness. But Harris still has a little bit to learn about being a top notch point guard.
It should be a battle within the War and fun to watch those 2 go at it tonight.
Harris owns Parker when one snorts coke off his boyfriend's ass in their Deep Ellum pad.
Remember when Mav fans used to troll in here? I guess it took the light shining off LO'B #4 to run those cockroaches off.
Karma is so enjoyable sometimes.

As is the case when Devin and Manu are both on the floor at the same time. It's like they both have an inner ear condition.Quote:

Dont piss this evening away getting deja vu on a team who is the Spurs cryptonite! :clap :clap :clap

It's November and it's the Spurs; there should be no question - THIS is a loss. However, this November the Spurs have looked different; gelling and determined. If this team reverts to form (which I keep expecting), Spurs lose. If they play like they have been? Businesslike win.
take two of these and call me in the morningQuote:

I think the Mavs take this game. They are at home and that is a bit of an advantage for them, although I think Spurs vs Mavs is probably the best example of HCA meaning absolutely nothing. But a lot of people are doubting the Mavs right now and I think that gives them that extra push to win this game. If the Spurs lose, they're still considered title contenders. If the Mavs lose they're going to say Dallas' road back to the Finals runs through and ends in San Antonio. Pencil this in as one of those early season losses where we get outrebounded or miss a bunch of threes and lose the game.
Im not so thrilled between the Spurs and Mavs game anymore after the Suns-Spurs playoff match last year. Well, that's me anyways. Bring on the Suns dammit!
Mavs are gonna bring it tonight!!!
You never got a taste of the real Dirk-Stopper.Quote:

This game will be fun to watch, but fans of both teams should remember that this is November. Neither team will want to show their hand. Even if the Spurs had some new, clever way to match up against the Mavs, they wouldn't show it to the Mavs tonight and give them a whole season to figure it out. Likewise, the Mavs' slow start might be because they want to pace themselves and not repeat last year's mistake of peaking too soon in the season. So, whoever wins, it doesn't mean much come playoff time.
I can't wait for this game to start. Time to see how good this Spurs team is in the middle of November.
Will the Mavs win yet another regular season championship or can the Spurs steal their crown?
:hungry:
^^^what a pussy way to look at it. (barbacoataco)
these are about the ONLY games these two teams care about. sure, its not the playoffs, but neither team is going to let up or "hold something back" as you're saying. Mavs and Spurs arent officially in the playoffs yet. this game means a lot
:lmaoQuote:

Yeah, this game means a lot to Dallas. Just look at how bad the Spurs beat us in the playoffs the last time both teams played each other.....oh wait, they didn't :elephant
I'm sure if by some miracle San Antonio wins tonight, you Spur fans won't act like it's a big deal :rolleyes
we won't but all the dumbass Mav fans that are pimping this game will sure eat their crow. THAT we WILL make sure of!Quote:

That guy is bad for team chemistry which is a shame given his skill level.
Boo- Reggie Miller and David Aldridge are covering our game.
But hooray for Ginoooooooooooobili! :)
