I can't help but think the Spurs guards really expose the Mavs. We got Chandler but everything else is close to the same. What do you think would have happened?
Both teams matched up well, and how that last regular season game went it looked like Manu, and Parker were attacking the basket easily, and getting alot of layups. Spurs have done a good job against Terry lately since Hill has arrived oddly(Hill would have to have a great series again for the spurs to win).
If Caron Butler was healthy, it would of been a toss up.
If not Spurs would of won with a healthy Ginobili.
Dyess did an decent job on Dirk, and the same for Chandler on Duncan.
This is not a put down or anything, because the Mavs are a really good team but I just think the Spurs might have been able to take them. Maybe not. Does this season seem like it was more about match ups than anything else to anybody else?
3's dropping from everywhere. TP would take advantage of kidd and dirk would take advantage of mcdyess/bonner. not to sound like a homer but i think spurs in 7. its the same mavs team plus chandler vs a much better spurs team than the year before.
I don't think the Spurs would have had much of a chance. The team fell apart in March and never looked good again.
The Spurs matchup with the Mavs pretty well. Both teams know each other so well, it would be a tossup, with the Maves having the edge, due to their improved defense.
100% correct IMO.
This team can't get stops on demand. With the way the Mavs have been playing, Dallas would make all the clutch shots in the 4th.
Tony/Manu/Neal keep us in the running. Dyess and Tim can contain Dirk but he still gets 25 easily.
Defensively, lolz, the Spurs let the Mavs get all the 3's they want, and see how that turned out for the Lakers.
The Mavs haven't closed out well on the 3 either, so there will be heavy reliance on that.
At the end of the day this Spurs team is just plain awful defensively. Manu and Tony would get theirs, but Barea and Terry would play well also. Tim has a small advantage over Chandler but we can't ride that every game. Bonner will have one good game and 3 choker games. Their shooters show up because they're not him. Mavs in 6.
Not the 2011 playoffs TP.
Yeah. Pop ing with the starting lineup and a few timely injuries completely derailed this team heading into the playoffs. Their rhythm was shot. I don't think it really mattered who they played. The spurs were primed for an upset.
I think Dallas would have ultimately won the series tbh.
you mean if our squad outside of manu, tim, antonio and gary actually gave a about the game right? unlike the grizzlies game?
At least 8 wouldn't a happened.
TBH, the way the mavs are playing they would beat the Spurs in a 7 game series
if spurs played the mavs, it be a 4 game sweep mavs win
dallas will ass-rape san antonio
They would win in 5, it would be a sweep but the Spurs do have heart
And class.
mavs in 5. thier role players have stepped up all postseason long while the spurs role players wilted.
I don't think it would have been all that compe ive. Spurs would have shown flashes, but ultimately would have gone down in 4 or 5 games.
Spurs would've got swept. Duncan is barely a s of himself and Parker looked like .
Where was this heart during the second round series with the Suns?
i think it would be a very close series with the Mavs ultimately taking it with the way Dirk has played these playoffs.
The Spurs know the Mavs as well as anybody and I think they would've been Dallas' toughest challenge imho
Assuming both teams would've had the same seeds they had in these playoffs, I don't think their late season meltdown would matter.
Both teams would've faced off in the WCF so they would've both had momentum going into the series
