As if reading this whole thread filled with mavfan homers saying it wasn't ANY degree of upset and people blaming avery for matching up with GS would change an opinion on the matter - its common knowledge Dallas choked that series away.Epic fail. It seems you haven't even read the whole thread.
did i really just read that the 07 GS-Mavs series wasn't an upset?
are you all ed in the head?
Not that it really matters, spurstalk posters overwhelmingly voted for that as the biggest upset of the 4 choices. While that may not be true, says a lot for you idiotic fanboys claiming it wasn't an upset at all

Oh look, he made an internet friend!
Yeah I think they are....hmm a 48 win team beating a 65 win team with homecourt advantage in 6 games...Nah that's not an epic upset...
It's Wilt Bynum not Kareem Abdul JaBynum HAHA!
There will be another Upset this year, an upset that will be greater than any of these in the Poll. Phoenix Suns will defeat the Lakers in 7 games in the 1st round.
Just saying...the Warriors beat Dallas all 3 times they played that season, and had won 9 out of 10 going into the playoffs. They were the hottest team going into the playoffs. All the commentators were saying before the series that Dallas better watch out, because Golden State was hot.did i really just read that the 07 GS-Mavs series wasn't an upset?

I voted for that one too, and I remember joking with everybody and saying that Denver would mess around and go to the Finals.
Regular season means . The Suns owned the Spurs in the 02-03 regular season and the Spurs sacked up and won the series. Are you going to say with a straight face the Spurs winning that series over Marbury was an upset, because Phoenix won 3 out of 4 and the Spurs needed OT for the one win they got? Besides, Dallas got blown out when Golden State's best player was a one legged gimp in game 6.
I know..I know..but the Warriors run and gun style was exactly what Dallas had trouble with all year, and GS was the best at it. They peaked at the right time. You can't tell me that peaking at the end of the season doesn't mean anything...that's bs.
How much difference did the Spurs massive win-streak to close 03-04 mean when they got to LA? The 2007 Mavericks were chokers who got beaten by a team that was ripped to shreds the next round by a better running team.
What Dallas had trouble with was finding their balls in games that mattered. The only big game that team ever seemed to win (without a gift-wrap from the refs) in any pressure situation was game 7 in San Antonio, and even then they blew a 20-point lead and came an idiotic foul from Ginobili from blowing that 3-1 series lead. You might have a leg to stand on had they not themselves in Miami, but those two series combined show Dallas flat-out could not deliver in big moments.
The Warriors over Dallas wasn't an upset. Dallas won 67, but that's just because they made their shots. The playoffs are a different story.
I picked Dallas to win that series in 6 or 7 games...but you're right, the final result was not exactly a shock to anybody that had paid attention to the recent history of those two teams. The Warriors had owned them in the regular season the year before.
I remember trying to resolve the cognitive dissonance of rooting for a 67-win team that had locked up the #1 seed, and yet I was refreshing the gamecast on ESPN every night to see who would get the last playoff spot between the Clippers and the Warriors. When the Warriors clinched it, I felt this sense of dread. After the very first game when the Mavs game away home court, I kinda knew then what was going to happen.
You're dumb
Gotta love how black and white some people are.
Saying that the Nuggets/Sonics history is the bigger upset <> Warriors/Mavs was not an upset. Just that nobody saw Nuggets winning against the Sonics that year, and actually, a very minor few actually saw the Warriors beating the Mavs that year.
Lol at dallas mavericks
