Shut up...you're pinked for a reason...
PD is something the Mavs need to raise. They don't have the killer instinct sometimes and seem to let opponets back into games. Plus it seems teams shot 100% on desperation comeback threes against us.

Historically is the key word. Mr.Marion wasn't part of our history. Lebron, Kobe, Durant and Melo have all had "off" nights against us.
Fast pg's could still be a problem. Jennings would have beat us single-handedly if it wasn't for Roddy. Anyone see him around lately?
Cherry picking stats is a Non-Issue...
What bothers me is you tried to make this point on the Spurs board and then 5 minutes later made a post in the NBA forum just to try and justify your cause. Why go through all that trouble? And then you went out of your way to point out that the Spurs weren't worth putting up their numbers against .500 teams. When no one even asked or mentioned the Spurs. Keep acting the fool.
And some one tell Bad Odor or w/e his name is that I don't argue with "pink slips".
That was a pre-emptory strike so Spur fan wouldn't be like "What about us?"
I agree. I thought their unconventional lineup with Lewis at the 4 spreading the floor with his 3-point shooting, along with Hedo playing Point Forward, was a big reason they got to the Finals. It allowed them to reap the benefits of smallball while still having Howard on the floor to anchor the defense and protect the rim. He's fast enough to run the floor well enough for that to work.
I can understand Orlando's decision to not tweak their roster but make decisive changes after coming up short. It just seems like contradictory. They're in win-now mode, so they go deep into luxury tax territory to keep their backup C and get a backup PF for their bench in Bass that they never play. But on the other hand, they didn't want to give Hedo 4/55 because they didn't think he'd earn that contract, even though in the near-term he's a better fit for them.
o my friend! Good win for the spurs and your lakers tonight
yer dead in 2 days ... oh and happy new year ...o my friend! Good win for the spurs and your lakers tonight
cant wait for itsonlyjan .. and thersalwaysnextyear ...
Yeah because a 6-9 record is so much better than a 2-10 record right? Also I take the 4-5 games early in the season against + .500 with a grain of salt...Tim, Tony, and Manu all missed time sometimes a combination of two of them. That wont be the finished product that youll see from this team come playoffs. Other than that Spurs have recently lost @ Utah, @ Phoenix, vs Thuggets, vs Celtics. They were all pretty close games, Im not into moral victories at all but at the same time lets not get carried away and act like theyre not capable of hanging with these +.500 teams.
Spurs are still Top 5 or near that in numerous team stats like Team Efficiency and Point Differential, again all this while playing horrible and with still alot of room to improve. But yeah go ahead and keep counting them out and putting a fork in them just dont be surprised when theyre right in the thick of things come May.
You actually think the Mavs matter?
Also does that stat take into consideration the fact that for the Mavs win against the Lakers they were missing Gasol? The win against the Spurs they were missing both Parker and Ginobili? That the Thuggets were missing Chauncey? Point being that alot of isnt accounted for so whille that stat can be useful it can also be misleading, especially this early in the season...chances are those teams the Mavs beat isnt the finished product theyll go up against come May. Kind of premature and stupid to determine what teams 'matter' this early based on this little stat.
