Makes no sense...a team gotta win it all to get respect? So the Spurs lost your respect last year? Guess the Suns suck too then.
First of all, I read a post about Mavericks haters. Let me explain it all here.
Yes, yes, yes a million times over....the Mavericks did remarkable things before the Finals, and after the Finals with this season, but not IN the Finals 2006. I think that is why a lot of us have a hard time accepting that Dallas may be for real. It doesn't matter if they go 82-0 this season, they didn't win last year's Finals and a lot of us, myself included, aren't convinced. They have beaten teams such as SA, Utah, Phoenix, and today Detroit, and yet, the Finals loss will be there until they reverse that outcome, if they can.
I also think that too many teams are giving the Mavericks too much respect for the wrong reasons. They became the talk of the league for defeating SA in the semis last year. I've never seen a team get so much respect for just getting past the semifinals. Dallas, with the exception of Devin Harris, is still mostly a jump shooting team. I'm sorry, that's what I am observing. That is why once they reached the Finals, where everything is on the line, and everything tightens up, those shots stopped falling.
I say Detroit, Miami, or SA as the NBA Champs this year. It's all about defense, not jump shooting.
We have yet to see if Dallas can prove "Mav haters" wrong.
This is all really getting old, and it doesn't matter what we all argue about here on the internet. The players will still go out and play the game, and the better team in the end will win the championship.

I know you all hate the reference to past Spurs championships, but that explains why SA deserves more respect than anyone but Miami right now.
And no, I don't see the Suns as a le threat.
Ummm I would venture to say the Lakers and Celtics have more championships than the SPurs...so by your logic they deserve more respect
I guess we should all take the Celtics, Bulls, and Lakers more serious than we take the Spurs.
Dumbest post of the year.I guess we should all take the Celtics, Bulls, and Lakers more serious than we take the Spurs.
NopeDumbest post of the year.
They have more championships than the Spurs
So that means
Lakers, Bulls, Celtics >>>>> Spurs
Not recently though. That is what makes the post dumb. You are just being ignorant.
Sort of like you calling Devin Harris a dirty player because "he cant play straight up defense"?
Dallas is clearly a team on a mission...period. It doesn't revolve around the Silver n Black. People tend to think that cause Dallas is now getting the "attention", Spurs fans are bummed out because when they were on their mini-run, they didn't get the same attention.
Granted, I'm not a Spurs or Dallas lover, but you have to give the Mavs' their credit, while the Spurs are now on that slope downward. Granted, they're still favorites each year as long as they have Duncan, but otherwise that door is slowly starting to shut.
If you could read I said "today". I have not watched the whole Mavs season so I don't know if Harris plays defense like that all the time, but today he was.
So not being able to play straight up defense = "dirty"
Oh BTW, Harris IS one of the best defensive PG's in the league.
I don't think people really think about what they are saying. Detroit had a tougher Finals loss. They barely lost in a Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Detroit was on a "mission" last season too. The Pistons are even more experienced than Dallas with huge playoff runs the last 4 or 5 years. People don't give all this credit to Dallas because the "mission" hasn't even started yet. It will start in late April come playoff time.
Then WTF are you starting another thread about it?
I can name a lot of better defensive guards.So not being able to play straight up defense = "dirty"
Oh BTW, Harris IS one of the best defensive PG's in the league.
PG's: Jason Kidd, Chauncey Billups, Kirk Hinrich, Charlie Bell, Mike James, Sam Cassell, and Earl Watson.
I could name more too if I checked up some names.
that is all the respect you have to give us. we're not asking you to "give" us the championship or call us one of the greatest ever. just state the facts. but what we have done is win the most games this year, and had incredible runs along the way. even if it means nothing it still is an incredible feat and we are definitely le contenders. we just ask that you admit those two things because they are the facts. thats all
no. Cassell can hardly walk he's so old
I learned a lot from the Pistons last year. They were on pace to win 70 games too. It just didn't matter because the Pistons fell in the playoffs.
Yeah I kind of threw that one in there, but calling Harris the best defensive PG is an overstatement.
Who called him the best defensive PG?
Oh my bad calling him one of the best is an overstatement too. He is a good defensive point guard.
I think Mark Cuban actually said something like that though Flight 3107.
So not being able to play straight up defense = "dirty"
Oh BTW, Harris IS one of the best defensive PG's in the league.
devin harris sucks
That would be Avery Johnson
And here is what he said
"Right now, I don't know many point guards in the Western Conference – you'll have to give me one – that are as good as he is defensively," Johnson said. "If you give me one, we can debate it. But Devin Harris, we think, is awfully good right now defensively."
But hey, you probably know more about defense than Avery Johnson.
Agreed.
devin harris sucks
