So Stackhouse and George = Duncan and Ginobili? I agree with the last statement but don't equate the Mavs' injuries with the Spurs' injuries.
We have the cocaine and boob job crowd; their average resident has a BMI of 35. I give us the slight edge.
yhbt. Hand.
How profound.
How stupid do you have to be to have Hubie do that do you?
Spurs problem was defense. Jason Terry and Dirk both had a god awful series and yet Dallas easily took care of business in 5 quick games with their bench and role players making the difference.
It's an easy built in excuse to have that Manu was hurt and TD wasn't 100% but guess what? Every team has injuries and no one is 100%. When you have everyone camping out at the 3 point line tossing up bricks, you aren't going to win .
So please remind me what exactly has Dallas Won? Do the Mavs have a trophy case? Anything in the trophy case?
Games 1 and 4 were both in reach. The Spurs were getting stops, they just couldn't put the ball in the hole. They'd be down 3, and get a stop. Then they wouldn't score. Dallas would score a bucket. Spurs would score and get a stop, and then not score. That's Manu time. Let me re-quote part of your post.
I couldn't agree with you more, which is exactly why Manu makes a difference. While he can shoot the 3, he uses it to keep the defense honest for his drives into the teeth of the D, into the deep paint area. That's where he lives and breathes. To think that subtracting a 3rd team All NBA guard wouldn't make a difference in the outcome of this series is the height of arrogance, but I guess we should expect that from insecure neurotic Mavs fan.When you have everyone camping out at the 3 point line tossing up bricks, you aren't going to win .
healthy spurs???probably not....manu would destroy the mavs all by himself.....ginobili!!!!!!!!!!!!
The simple fact that Mavfan can look back on the series and undoubtedly say that Erick Dampier held Tim Duncan in check, again and again, 1on1, automatically tells you how much they were ing in their pants about how they owned us yet again.
All else is just extra bull crap. They owned us, in the general mind of nbafan. end of story.
what exactly did they own? a broken Spurs team - yipee!
I seem to recall a game last year where Ginobili singlehandedly beat Dallas at Dallas (dropping 37)... And if I also recall, one of the big-3 didn't play in that game...
That is the ingredient that would have taken the Spurs to a rematch with the Lakers...
I don't why I didn't think of this sooner. These Mav fans know their team isn't going to win a championship anytime soon, so beating the Spurs is their championship. Poor Mav fans.
you really think thats the way the majority of nbafans see it as?
They just saw the scores, the rebounds, the ft's...the mavs crushed us. Amongst the people who actually watched the series, which is only mav and spurs fans, we saw Dampier ing rock Duncan 1 on 1 the entire series until the last 5 minutes. Yipee indeed.
I'm not sure why some fans can't just be happy that their team advanced. I guarantee you if the Spurs had managed to win, I'd be thinking about Denver and not worrying about my team getting recognition for winning a ing first round series.
the mavs like to talk about the now, but if they dont win now, next year we'll be back at it again. still sucks to be mavfan.
Stephen jackson! lol!
Dirk is a pussy!
Mavs took advantage of Spurs injuries/weaknesses. What? were they suppose to lose some games because Manu was out? I don't think so. Mav's took care of the Spurs and are moving on. Oh well. Now Spurs have an oppurtunity to take a look at the players they have, the system they used and do something about it. Was this first round series such a big deal?
I love the more simple minded Spurs fans here, present anything logical to them and their only response is some irrelevant comment about how many banners are hanging in the AAC.
To answer your irrelevant question, no, Dallas doesn't have any NBA les in their trophy case. But at least they are still alive for one this year and weren't outplayed by one of the worst benches and collection of role players in the NBA to the tune of an easy 4-1 series win. The Mavs have to put Terry on the bench at the start of games just because the backup guys are so inconsistent at doing anything. He had a terrible series and yet the bench still dominated. That is sad. And that is why Manu would have made no difference in the overall outcome. Might have been a closer series, maybe SA wins more than 1 game but Mavs still prevail.
Would a healthy Manu mean a Spurs series win?
NO! we might've won in 6 instead of 5, but your starting center is still a soft 3 point shooter and Manu is still a choker.
If you think a soft Euro on one-leg is gonna be your savior than you guys are even dumber than i thought and thats saying something when one of your smartest posters is arguing feverishly with an obvious blatant troll.

wow
I can't believe you said that. I know you are referring to 06 when he fouled Dirk, but he has won since then. He is no choker. What the has Dirk done to redeem himself? He's a choker
This is why I don't like the mavs, thier dumb ass fans who don't know about what they're talking about
There's no reason to worry, it's obvious they have you beat by game six.
The Spurs not having Manu was extremely huge, and if you ask me - The Spurs would have won if they had him healthy.
Guess we'll never know, so who gives a hypothetical ?
Exactly. It's ridiculous to argue either way. I'd love to see a re-match next season, though, with both teams at 100%. Throw in a few off-season moves (does Kidd come back for Dal? Spurs bring back Bown/sign another big?) and hopefully both teams meet again in the playoffs...completely healthy.
You don't think a healthy Manu wouldn't have given the Spurs at least the same production as the Mavs bench?
