Neither of them scare me tbh.
Looks like it's gonna be the Spurs or the Blazers. Give me Portland after the way we bullied dem s last night and the way they wet their pants over the refs. Their entire offense is built around midrange jumpshots, whereas Manu is playing vintage 2005 Manu style right now and Duncan is a good low-post presence.
You know the matches won't be easy to deal with if you take on a team there that you were 1-3 against in the regular season.
if you aspire to rebut my viewpoint with the dated paradox that regular season isn't equal to playoffs, check the 06-07 season first.
Spurs are the easiest matchup....Portland has people who can give Dirk trouble. Marion can check Manu...Mavs have more size than em, Terry will go off as usual and Dirk will be solid. Mavs win in 5....6 max

It looked like Fridays game planted the seeds to a bit of a rivalry with Portland. It would probably be a pretty intense series if the Mavs were to face them. Also, the Mavs don't match up as well with Portland as they do the Spurs.
But on the other hand, the Spurs have more overall talent.
If I had to pick, give me SA. But I think we would beat either of them.
lol at D-whistle![]()
Thunder are still in the mix , likely as a possible 3/6 matchup... and that would be the most desirable opponent of the 3 personally for me.
Then the Blazers, then the Spurs.
If Mavs beat Clippers on Monday and Warriors were to somehow beat the Jazz on Tuesday, Mavs would have clinched the 2 seed before the Wednesday game.
Rest or play then?!![]()
just because you beat them in one fluky game last night it doesn't mean the Mavs will continue their good form till the series is won, however, what's more likely to happen is Mavs winning the first two games and starting to rest their asses as they did in 07. Blazers were meekly curbstomped by Rockets last season but they have changed a lot with the impact brought by Andrew Miller, which is exactly as influential as what Billups has done for Denver I say. You would be nuts if you scope at the Blazers through the old glasses of season, and you know how hard the Mavs were hammered by Miller himself in the previous matches this season between the two teams, Findawg.
lol at this clown....well if that's the case then the Spurs should want to play the Mavs....hopefully we can see that come to fruition

I wouldn't say that.
Blazers since Manu has got his confidence back. Spurs have much more experience than the Blazers.
I still say Mavs lose either matchup.
Andre Miller had 2 bad games, 1 amazing (but fluke) game, and 1 good game against the Mavs this year.
He's not the exact type of PG that gives the Mavs fits.

Blazers owned the Mavs the out of their craws in 3 of the total 4 games they played against the Mavs so the reasonable prediction should be Mavs losing the series if they take on blazers for the 1st round, Spurs used to be allergic of Mavs but they're now enjoying the best forms these days and genuinely you can't expect a series to be any easier against such a team than one against the Blazers.
Spurs.
Beating the Blazers only allows us to talk to tlong. Taking a on the Spurs allows us to make fat jokes, imho.
I prefer the we own the spurs though. If they beat us, the fun is gone.
is it you in your avatar? i remember you once used another pic of the same guy as your avatar IIRC. I'm not meaning the blurry Brad Pitt avatar that you once used, of course.
Yep, it's me tbh.
why r mavfans so insecure?? I thought you owned the SPurs in the playoffs?
We got hot for sure in the past. Not sure if we can get hot again on this spurs team. Both teams are different. Harris on Parker will be missed. I think we'll win but it's on how well Marion guards Manu.
You look much younger than a 42-year-old that you once claimed to be tbh, or the pic was taken two decades ago?![]()
