Spurs wouldn't have an answer for Dirk. Duncan would be matched up with Chandler down low so they're going to have to play him small with Kawhi or Diaw.
Who you got in this matchup of NBA Champs? Similar in many ways tbh, both have deep benches, strong perimeter defenders and great shooters.

Dirk was unstoppable, like the whole Mavs team.
Mavs in 5 or 6.
Spurs would have no answer to dirk and our role players were also capable of ripping apart the opposing team. TC would protect the 3-sec zone well and would also provide a lot in perimeter defense, ergo the spurs wouldn't have any superiority in the paint with their bigs either being undersized (Blair, Diaw) or soft as (splitter, bonner). Pop is their biggest advantage over miami in this series, but the Mavs would pretty much cancel if off with Carlisle being our coach
Leonard would shut Dirk down
Dirk was only unstoppable in the 4th in the finals tbh. Even Jet had to bail ya'll out.
But Mavs have the matchup advantage anyway
So, he did not on the Lakers/Thunder e.g.?
He didn't on the best in the East for 3 quarters
he was too banged up to give a during the first 3 quarters. The Mavs gameplan was to get as much production from their role players as possible during the first 3, and then close it out with Dirk.
His whole run was one for the ages. Finals were good too, not as good as the rounds before but still...
No one will close us out, EVER!!!
2011 Mavs in a landslide.
Hero ball Parker would be shut down by carlisle's system
Green and Neal would be neutralized by Terry and Barea
Ginbili
No one was stopping the Mavs that year.
2011 Mavs.
The main reason why the 2011 Mavs would beat this year's Spurs is because that Mavs team was one of the hungriest teams in NBA history. They had numerous players that had either choked or came up short in the playoffs/finals. Dirk wanted a ring badly and did not let anyone stop him. The Mavs wanted it more than the Heat in 2011. You can say that both teams wanted it but the Mavs played harder and executed their plays perfectly. That's what you have to do to win a championship.
Mavs in 5
This.
It seemed to me like they were fighting for life in that 2011 series. Their squad might not be as strong as Miami on paper (with Butler out for season, to make things worse) but their mental attributes pretty much made up for that. They have bigger hunger for the champoinship, they played harder and smarter than Miami and it finally delivered. I was moved to tears the moment the ref blew the final whistle in game 6, tbh.
2010 Dallas got swept by San Antonio and it was same team. It was the year they made trade for Chandler, Butler, Stevenson and Haywood.
Spurs always seem to have a mental advantage over Dallas and Phoenix.
Chandler wasn't in the 2010 team,and they didn't get swept.
Dallas is overrated as . They didnt truly face The King since he choked, OKC was barely going through puberty, Lakers were in their elderly stage, and Roy was done.
Spurs in 6.
The Spurs have always had the edge? Who won the second round series in 2006?
Who has 4 Larry Obrian trophies ?
the Spurs in 6...they would destroy Carlislie zone defense
Did you win it all that year?
Spurswants to say hi to Mavs
