If they followed through on that with a Championship banner, then yes they would have, but they were the Mavs they had to choke at one part of the season or another, it just happened to be @ the Finals, bad luck for the Spus.
I seem to remember being sad at the end of Game 7 of the WCSF, I think that's where they got the ability to slam us for 11 months.

I've seen a couple of Mavs fans on here say that exact same thing. If you're not worried about it, good, you shouldn't be , because you're team isn't that good.
I like how they say "... entire history of sports," as if sports don't exist outside of the USA.
We know Jeff...they just caught most teams on off nights all season...dip .I've seen a couple of Mavs fans on here say that exact same thing. If you're not worried about it, good, you shouldn't be , because you're team isn't that good.
The Mavs are still one of the best teams in the league. If they hadn't played GS they'd be sitting back waiting on the winner of Utah - Houston...
You dont get 67 wins by accident. Your takes are so ing annoying Spursdynasty. If they werent that good, why is everyone making such a huge deal out of the outcome? You picked the Mavs before the series, so dont act like you predicted thisI've seen a couple of Mavs fans on here say that exact same thing.

The you should not have talked so much all year long .....
KARMA
Sig change time, biatch.
I'm sorry but the best teams in the leauge are still playing. Those who don't measure up are the ones at home. Remind me again where Dallas is?
Dallas is done because they faced the one team in rd 1 that could handle them.
If they'd played the Clips or Lakers, we'd still be talking about Mavs, Spurs, and Suns as west contenders.
No one made Dirk disappear an entire series.
But I will agree with your Avatar ...... Dirk shocked the city of Dallas ....
You go from "They weren't a typical 8th seed..." to that noise?
What's it gonna be?
Some teams have that one team that just gives them fits. For Dallas it was Golden State. I think your assessment is right in that if they had played the Clips or Lakers, it would have been 4-0 the other way.
You are quite incorrect however when you say that Golden State is not a typical 8th seed. They are a typical 8th seed, as their record suggests. They just match up well against your beloved Mavericks........
no, there not a typical 8th seed. If they had had the team they got after the trade all season they would have won 50 plus games. They were much better than most 8th seeds you see
They're record is the only thing that is typical of an 8th seed. They should be a much higher seed. 1. Davis and Richardson were injured a lot this season. 2. They made a huge trade to get Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington late in the season. 3. They are the hottest team since March 2nd beating up on teams such as Houston, Phoenix, Utah, Detroit, and of course Dallas.
What did I say that contradicts itself??
GS isn't the typical 8 seed and they were the only team in the area of the 8 seed that could handle Dallas.
Their record is a result of having 2 different teams during the season...
Pre-trade and post-trade
They were one of the best post all-star break teams this season.
GS definitely does have Dallas' number for whatever reason...
Better teams always win in a seven game series. Enough with this "if it were someone else, Mavs would still be in it". Maybe so, but I highly doubt they would have gotten out of the West. If anything, GS showed their vulnerability, especially to a zone defense. Mavs still have the ability to choke and play really ty when it counts. Sucks for them and their fans, but that is how it is.
Nope - Dallas lost because they werne't as good as their record indicated - not because of the matchup. Great teams do not need favorable matchups to win, they overcome unfavorable matchups. Thats what the best teams in the leauge do and THAT is what makes them the best. Dallas does not measure up and no amount of spin will ever change that.
Is the only thing that you can do now
GSW gets all my respect
Manny is, as usual, correct and we can even use the Spurs as an example.Nope - Dallas lost because they werne't as good as their record indicated - not because of the matchup.

In 1981-82 and 82-83 (The last two good years prior to DRob's arrival) the Spurs won the regular season series' over the Lakers by a combined 7-3 (They played five games a year against non-divisional conference opponents) but lost to LA in the playoffs both years by a combined 8 games to 2 including a 4-0 in 81-82.
In 94-95 they won the season series with Houston 5-1 (they played 6 games against division opponents) but lost the playoffs series 4-2.
The Lakers and Rockets were better when it counted. As was Golden State.
