they actually deserve it. Even outside of TP's most recent injury bout, the Spurs don't deserve a le. They had a a pretty reasonable chance to be a true contender this year through defense in getting Salmons and Thomas, and they blew it. Not only that, but they trade the only defensive big on the team in Ratilff for nothing at all. To a lesser a degree, the the Spurs had a very minute chance had they actually cared to play and develop Ian all year long, then he'd be ready to actually pay some dividends in the playoffs, but that's all moot now, since a mobile, 7-foot, shot blocking big man who can shoot free throws is so common in the NBA.
Enter the Mavs and Cuban (who I don't like one bit, by the way), but who had the unction and foresight to actually trade away a very valuable piece in Howard, though inconsistent, who if nothing else has killed the Spurs, and let such a player go for a possible larger net value from in coming players, and that's after already landing Marion this past summer (You see, Spurs FO? You can actually make trades in the Summer and at the trade deadline.)
You see that, Spurs FO and fans? That's called courage: something the Spurs FO has never had, otherwise your top ten player of all time in Duncan would have at least 6 rings and one repeat.
Enter Dirk Nowitski, as underrated a player as you're going to find. Let me put it this way: if Kobe Bryant doesn't whine himself into a draft day trade from Charlotte to the Lakers, and Stern and Co don't let Shaq elbow people in face all game and call it "dominance," then Dirk would be the second best player this past decade behind Duncan! Think about that! The whole '06 Finals is overblown, clearly Stern wanted the Wade to shoot 100 free throws, and he did. The next year versus Golden State was also not exactly as it seemed: that Golden State agile defense was swarming over Dirk, and Dirk is not really accustomed to being defended by a player as tough, tall, and long as SJax. On top of that, the only way Dallas could've forced the Warriors to play honest was to hit their jumpers, which they never did. Plus, the Warrior's pace was just to weird for Dallas to get accustomed to: every other team's "dumb shots" were routine for Nellie's squad that year.
The point is, Dirk is a great, great player, and is often treated unfairly by Spurs fans. He's never done anything dirty to the Spurs like Kobe has done numerous times (the "weird follow through" for a bloodied Manu, anyone?), so why the unnecessary hate?
I'll say it again: it's the FO's fault the Spurs are at best first round fodder this year, at worst lottery this year. All the horrible moves: letting SJAx go, not getting SJAx early this past year when he was available, not getting Thomas/Salmons, the list just goes on and on. Being fortunate with Blair falling into their laps, and picking Manu and Parker don't make up for all the other blunders.
Congradulations Dirk and Mavs fans, I wish hope you win the next ten these, since the Spurs FO isn't interested.

Nah, I'm a spurs fan all the way. Go spurs!
Troll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go curl into the fetal position and neglect yourself.
Aside from being a sodden, gutless post from a regular posting as a nube, this post sucks.they actually deserve it. Even outside of TP's most recent injury bout, the Spurs don't deserve a le.

Sure, Dallas made two big trades this year, hence they are "brave." But Dallas also has historically a stupidly large payroll, trades often and has not come up with anything but a 67 win season for it. Trades do not necessarily = championship.
Mahinmi did not earn playing time. That simple. Sorry. Hill earned playing time his first year, and this year. As far as I can tell, nothing is different between Mahinmi and Hill except that Mahinmi did not play as well in practice as the other guys in the rotation, and Hill evidently did.
the "big trade" that you speak of happened this summer. See RJ. And it did not work out. So you demand another one that would also be rash and a risk, likely only made if real assets were dealt out?
NOTHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR ANYWAY. IF THE SPURS WERE TIED FOR FIRST PLACE WITH THE LAKERS, TP BREAKING HIS HAND MEANT THEY WOULD BE A LONGSHOT.
It was just not meant to be. Stop blindly swinging at Pop. He did not break Tony's hand. He did not injure Tony and Manu earlier in the season. he did not stop RJ from slashing repeatedly to the basket all year.
You need to play the lotto and hope you can win or get a job where you will become rich, fire the FO and change things your way. Whinning in a board where no one cares nor gives a about you becoming a Mavs will not change a damn thing. If words could make wishes come true we would all be ed.
"Unction?"
I do not think this word means what you think it means.
spurfan rooting for mavs = kill yo self
Yes, you have definitely failed in your word choice. Otherwise, great take. /s
You popped your cherry with that??? lol
Agreed. Let Mavs win it all.
Dirk won't be a threat to Duncan regarding the number of championship les while Kobe has already won 4.
Ftm.
Exactly, if they win it all their fans come in here and tout it as the best team ever and blah blah blah! I can't stand most of their fans and some of thier players (Terry) nor their owner! I will be damned if I root for Dallas or even LA!
GO DENVER if we are out. I actually like Billups.
You have Spurs as your designated team, but you talk as if you're not part of the crowd. That's cool, we don't want you tagging along with us for anyway. You are the smallest pebble, but have the biggest panocha.
And forget all those es that say it's better for Dirk to win a trophy than Kobe, keep the Mavs at zero!
EDIT: Are nuggets our default bandwagon team? I can live with that to keep my interest in the post-season depending on where the Spurs end up.
NO!!!! the Mavs can't win! then Ghost Writer would have been right about the JKidd trade
@ MavFan
He has never been a threat andto the first part.
Wow a mav fan masquerading as a spurs fan, that's new
of all years to have this happen....this would be the funniest to happen;
the spurs eliminate the mavs this year...that would be almost as funny as eliminating the lakers...
Mavs troll!!!
You should do the world a gigantic favor and put yourself on IGNORE!
There should be a law against anyone who has not posted here before from posting at all...especially a lowly Mavette fan!
99.99999999999% of all you Mavette fans are IDIOTS!
BTW, thesmallestBRAIN, you make just as big an idiot when you call into the local sports talk radio shows. What is it you go by on Chris & Jason's show...superSpursfanSteve? Your gig is up!
welcome to spurs talk man now die!
