    One thing I have noticed about the Mvas is that they allow other teams to beat themselves.. last night for example Memphis had multiple opportunities to pull away in the 4th qtr but memphis never ran set plays or threw away passes.. it is amazing to see them self destruct.. The difference is that the Spurs will not beat themselves.. these 12 qtrs for the Mavs will not work against the Spurs.. I was amazed to see all of the bad decisions that memphis was making.. bad passes, horrible shots, they seemed to be lost during the last few minutes of the 4th qtr... The Spurs will neither beat themselves and will execute during the final minutes of a game. The Mavs do try and run whenever they can but in the playoffs every possesion is key whether it is the second possession of the game or the second to the last..both are equal in their importance..So does Josh Howard try and drive and take a contested running hook shot? or does he pull it out for a set play and good shot? does terry pull up on a break and shoot a jumpshot with no one under the basket? or does he pull up and wait for his guys to set up.. these decisions are huge...... The Spurs run the same plays during the final 2 minutes of the game that they do during the prior 46 minutes..no change just keep pounding away.. The Mavs will have to make good decisions in the final moments of a game.. do you pull up and shoot the jumper knowing you need a good shot? or do you wait?..this will make the mavs hesitant and will require for them to think as opposed to play.... I cannot see the mavs outexecuting the SPurs in a 7 game series..

    there as one possession where mike miller was bringing the ball up on a fast break and he tried to bounce a pass throug the lane with 3 maverick defenders sitting there..I was thinking "what in the are you doing?

    He was obviously afraid of Mav reinforcements.

    It's really big. The Spurs have been there and done it. The Mavs haven't.

    how about

    1) We win in the playoffs

    2) Our owner isn't a gigantic assclown

    3) Our best player isn't a defensive liability

    4) Our coach doesn't go insane with the media after playoff losses

    5) Their fans hope to win, our fans expect to win

    That could be up for debate, have you seen those Dahill commercials.

    Our owner is a walking heart attack. You seen that guy's face? Looks like he's going to kill over at any moment.

    The Man upstairs was looking down on the spurs franchise when Duncan fell into their laps. The odds were not in your favor. With Duncan, you could win with many different role players on this team. If you have a dominant big man, you are well on your way. Duncan is the difference and no one else. Period!

    Sorry guys, that is just my initials. I did not realize the default team selected is the Spurs. I live in Dallas but was born in SA. I always try to go for local teams. Doesn't bother me that the Spurs win at all. My hometown. 90% of my family is in SA. I have best of both worlds. I have the Cowboys, Mavs and Spurs. Been waiting for Mavs to do something. Not sure when it will happen. May never happen. I won't jump off a bridge about it.
