This thread is destined to be a target for Mavs fans right from the beginning. Lame.
Win one of these first.
In 06 they needed the refs to beat the Spurs. I think Dirk was being sent to the line if anyone looked at him. They were 20 seconds away from being eliminated if Manu didn't try to block Dirk. Was that even a foul? Tim was butchered at the end of regulation in game 7 but no call. Why do they feel they own the Spurs? Watch the game in which Tim fouled out. Dirk was sent to the line when Tim jumped away from him. He knew he'd get called for a foul if he played D on that little .
I wont even talk about last season. Manu was injured. They have never won a ring. So they beat the Spurs in a playoff series with the refs doing everything to please Cuban/Stern. They got a taste of the Dirk treatment in Wade and the Heat. The Spurs have won rings, the ty Mavs choked in 06 and 07. your choke job team.

The Mavs may have choked in 06 and 07, but they certainly didn't choke last year...or Friday night. This thread has "asshurt" written all over it.
Yes, hurt. I'm tired of them talking . It's almost as annoying as Spurs Homers calling the Spurs team of the decade even if the Lakers kicked our ass 4 out 5 series.
Mav fans talk because they can. They did beat the Spurs last Friday and eliminated them last year. Let them have their fun, their team earn it. I am sure many Spur fans here would do the same if the tables were turned.
little man syndrome. they know they have a good team but its just a cute team. built only for regular season success.
I wouldn't throw the four rings thing in their face, though. Its not their fault.
If your ruler only counts championships when estimating a team, then of course the Spurs are the better franchise than Mavs and it's also quite undeniable that the silver/black aren't the best whenever confronting the teams with far more championships like the LA Lakers.

I concede it was bad whistle to call a foul when Dirk stepped on Tim's foot and fell apart, but indeed there wasn't any other officiating error you could comfortably take use of as an excuse, or evidence to use prosecuting the refs. The refs was fairly doing a good job in that series and the series also was a feast for fans, of course a rigged series couldn't have been such a great one as it was. Expecting the refs to make no minor error isn't quite different than imagining your wife being nice as Halle Berry, neither contains any practicality.
The Mavs choked confronting Miami Cheat and GS warriors in 06 and 07, which doesn't seem to have any association with the efforts of Spurs IMHO. If you insist to build your joy on the successes of other teams or you just need to lift your nemesis's scab to feel a little bit better, you're welcome to do so.
Dirk was sent to the line almost every play he was guarded well.
Is this a troll...?
I'm Jason Terry.
Trollerific
He's going for the trifecta; Lakers, Mavs and Spurs fans in a free for all.
Possibly it means your skunks couldn't guard him well without fouling.
He got about 3 freebies a game. That's 6 free throws.
Actually, they did choke last year, just not against us. Technically, they've choked every year of their existence.
No cussing in thread les

Confident team, confident fans.
When it comes to Spurs, Mavs have no fear
SAN ANTONIO — This is why the Dallas Mavericks no longer fear the San Antonio Spurs.
Before Friday night’s renewal of the best basketball rivalry the Mavericks have, Rick Carlisle was asked whether Tim Duncan had lost a step. Or even a half-step.
Said the Mavericks’ coach: "I haven’t noticed [a dropoff] at all. My most vivid recollection is the playoffs last year and what he did then. He’s a monster in there. He’s still as great as he ever was and probably has gotten smarter and craftier."
Coach-speak, we thought.
And then the Spurs’ Big Fundamental had 14 points and eight rebounds by halftime and was befuddling the Mavericks like he has so often. By the end, he had 31 and 12, which qualified as huge anyway you slice it.
And the Mavericks won.
That’s why the Mavericks can look the Spurs in the eye and not blink anymore.
Maybe this transformation of being the stronger of the two franchises started in 2006, when the Mavericks finally beat the Spurs in a playoff series. But now it’s indisputable.
Duncan and the Spurs will always have those four rings. The Mavericks may never get any.
But for now, the Mavericks are the dominant team in this rivalry.

Losing to a better team is choking?
Good joke, old man.
lol spurs

great post, spot on.
and yes the '06 series was CERTAINLY tainted, anyone who denies this either didnt watch the games or is a mavs fan. period.
Game 3 was tainted by fixed reffing, 100%.
Dirk shot 20-25 FT a game in that series...name me one jump shooter in nba HISTORY who got sent to the line as much as that. a 7-footer shooting jumpshots getting 20+ FT per game. never happened before or since.
also in game 3 in dallas Duncan was put in foul trouble almost immediately and taken out of the game, only to foul outof the game on the infamous getting-stepped-on-by-dirk travesty (one of the single worst calls ever, also coincidently the only time Duncan has fouled out of a playoff game).
finally, in that game 3 the Mavs shot 50+ freethrows, more than the miami heat shot in any game vs. dallas in the finals, and more than any team has shot in any playoff game since then.
it was pure BS, the nba had an agenda that year and it was to prevent the inevitable spurs-pistons rematch.
heheheh mavs fans..
mavs.. are the greatest franchise to never win anything:
neat thread
I sure hope that the NBA is not all that corrupt because I'm pretty sure that Pop would quit coaching, Tim would quit playing, and most of us would quit watching. However, Dirk's admitted hard foul on Tim in game 7 of 06 was pretty hard to miss or take. It certainly didn't bode well for the Mavs karma did it.
I just hope horribly bad calls are not dirty calls because I've really enjoyed watching the evolution of the Spurs all these years. I don't believe it's over yet. The 4th quarter of the last game notwithstanding, I've seen glimpses of our potential this years. GSG!
When in doubt, start a thread bagging the Mavs.
Just more of the same from the most insecure fanbase in all of sports.
Cool story bro. Good luck with all of that...

They get "lol'd" after head-to-head losses. I've seen very few (rational) Mavs fans randomly starting threads bashing the Spurs. Most are relevant to them matching up recently. This thread is bringing up the same old, rehashed 2006 bull that's been read a thousand times before. What purpose does it serve aside from the underlying "4 rings, got" nonsense?
