Based on the above drivel, I shudder to think of how other words "fit" your convoluted "definitions."
THE ONLY SAD THING ABOUT THIS FINDOG GUY IS HE IS A MAVS FAN ON A SPURS FOURM WITH OVER 18,000+ post...
It shows that he has no LIFE and no one likeS him....
OR IT MIGHT BE THAT HE WANTS TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE A CHAMPION....
Dirk got the benefit of calls because he is a soft 7-footer who gets perimeter player treatment...that being said, Manu's reach costs the Spurs the game.
Mav fans got the same treatment when Wade was usheres to the line time after time, so I enjoyed that.
I will root for any professional team in Texas except the Mavericks, due to Cuban, and the way most (not all) MAV fans follows his sophmoric persona.
Can you change that to the Official Soft Dirk of the Dallas Mavericks...if so it would be perfect, as it stands now, it is already hilarious.
It actually doesn't matter since I never made excuses either, but excusing the Mavs from a choke still counts.
Uh, the Mavs did have a lead - a 5+ game lead, at the end of the season, which gave them the 1 seed overall. Which is why they got to play the 8th seed.Yep, and that criticism goes under the category of "huge upset" and "embarrassing letdown." I'm a stickler for precision, and that criticism doesn't entail taking them to task for choking. The Mavs were never ahead in that series. Choke = blowing a big lead.
Not every team gets the honor of playing the worst team in the bracket at home 4 of 7.
I remember plenty of times Mavfan argued GS beat them all year and had their number, so it was not actually an upset (or choke, apparently).Nobody argues that, so go debate your shadow.
As requested.........
Man I remember Mavs vs Spurs in 2006 way too good. I thought Mavs got every call in game 2 and it prevented the Spurs from ever making a comeback. Games 3 and 4 were the most frustrating because the Spurs seemed to hit clutch shot after shot down the stretch and mavs would match it by getting free throws which they hit.
Game 7 was a great game as the Spurs came back from down 20 and took their first lead w/ seconds to play and then the inexplicable foul by Manu help send it into OT, which mavs won fair and square.
This was the 1st time I ever questioned Pop as the Spurs would constantly go small w/ Duncan Bowen Finley Manu and Parker. We couldn't get stops and The Mavs killed us w/ off rebounds. The Spurs were committed to resigning Nazr Mohammed in the off season but he had no interest after not getting any PT in the series.
Mavs were a way better team vs Heat in the finals. They got up 2-0 and blew a great opp to make it 3-0. In the final 4 games (all heat wins) D Wade shot 73 free throws over 18 free throws a game. Stern's biggest nightmare would be having to present the trophy to Cuban
All joking (and choking) aside, though, that was one of the BEST playoff series I've ever witnessed. Game 7 was even more compelling than the '05 Finals finale. Of course it sticks in my craw that SA didn't come out on top, but that was probably one of the best series' of the aughts.
And the better team won, as I believe is always the case in 7 game series.
You're good at teh maths.
Choking has nothing to do with having a lead, it has to do with not performing when it matters. A 67 win team losing in six games to a 42 win team is a choke. If you'd like, we could come up with a new verb.
They Mavved it away.
Wade at least was making things happen to get to the line in the Finals.
Most of the fouls on the Spurs series were ridiculous, an absolut different standard on each end of the court. The Mavs jumpshot with an open look, and there was a whistle, Duncan, Parker and Manu get fouled by double teams and the refs ate their whistles.
Dirk Nowitzki must really be good at sucking refs s, because I've never seen a jumpshooter get so many bogus calls in the NBA. Also scrubs like Jason Terry were being sent to the line for no reason.
That was one of the worst officiated, one-sided series I've ever seen in the NBA, since I'm watching the league (1993).
That's fine, we can call it 'mavving.' It was an embarrassing flame out. But as to the bolded part: Bull . The argument centers on whether or not a big upset is a facet of choking. Blowing a big lead is absolutely a facet of choking.
2007: Ball Don't Lie
Is it fair to assume this about Findog:
He would rather circle jerk with the MavsKrew than suck up to a Spurs fan?
Findog is solid people. He can't help it that he's geographically disadvantaged.
Me Like!!As requested.........
Nice touch leaving the d in lower case, since dirk brings little d to the table
The 2006 series can be summed up by a dumb foul by Manu.
As for the Finals Mavs were up by 2 and then took their foot off the pedal.
That's the way it goes... 07 was a great year though.
To be fair, the Manu foul happened with 21 seconds remaining. There is no guarantee the Spurs would've won that game even if Manu hadn't fouled Dirk. 21 seconds is an eternity in the NBA.
Choking is failing to perform up to expectations, particularly once the pressure mounts. Suggesting that it's not would be like suggesting that the Mavs weren't expected to beat the Warriors.
Findog is an undercover Spurs fan.
the refs did suck that series, but we lost cause we were stupid late in games. Manu was a turnover machine in the closing minutes of the 3 close losses. we missed easy shots, layups and FTs. up by 3, we foul Dirk on a layup attempt, instead of letting him score and making them foul us. We miss 2 layup attempts to win the series, only to go to OT and lose.
Was this the series where Duncan gets called for a foul because Dirk steps on his foot?
yes, i believe game 5....
