Dallas Sucks

[NameOfTheGame]

you need to take your mouth off your Mav Crewmate's for a second and realize Kidd cannot guard Manu on the perimeter. Kidd has almost as slow lateral movement as Fisher at this point. Manu will eat him alive.

And at you not knowing Marion's playoff FAIL history

Truth.

[NameOfTheGame]

it's just basketball dude, the fact that you "hate" the Mavericks and all that is hilarious. I suggest you get a life and treat basketball as what it is - a hobby.

Nah...I have your mom for that. OHHHHHHH!

Truth.

Suns could never beat the Spurs, therefore Marion isn't a good defender and isn't a good option for checking Manu in a Mavs-Spurs series.

Spur fan logic.

nah man. THe logic is there are certain players that always dissapear during the playoffs. And Marion is one of them.

[pawe]

I am a Spur fan so of course I will agree they suck but when they play the Spurs, they become this super unstoppable team. Kidd becomes a set 3pt sharpshooter, Dirk drives and posts up in the lane, Terry is clutch, and their bench becomes starter material. Watch out for Marion to be Bowen 2.0 in this series.

[SpurCharger]

Im Spurs all the way..... But Dallas matches up with us very well.... Would prefer Utah....

[NameOfTheGame]

Cool story bro

thanks! brah.

[Johnny RIngo]

Yeah, right. Marion is effective checking Kobe and Melo, but Manu is gonna drop 40 a night on him. Whatever.

And yet Marion/Kidd allowed Andre Miller to go off on the Mavs for 52 points.

[Fpoonsie]

They actually don't. They matchup even better w/ us than the majority of the 2000's Bucks teams.

What is it about Spur fan and their urge to create unnecessarily bad basketball karma?

[Findog]

And yet Marion/Kidd allowed Andre Miller to go off on the Mavs for 52 points.

And the last game without Marion, Andre Miller went 2 for 12 for 6 points against us. What's your point?

Nothing. We'll have to wait and see.

[Findog]

Yes, we will. The Spurs worry me. I wish some of my fellow Mavs fans would shut up and ease up on the -talking a bit.

[CubanMustGo]

On a serious note, I'm sure the Spurs will defend Dirk the way they did last year. Trap him and swarm him with double teams, on the theory that his teammates are less likely to beat you than he is. It didn't work because Josh Howard, Brandon Bass and even little JJ Barea had a big series against San Antonio, but it's sound in theory. Since the Spurs don't have anybody who can check Dirk, I'm sure they will utilize this strategy again. It's up to Caron Butler, Jason Kidd, Brendan Haywood, Jason Terry and Roddy Beaubois to make the Spurs pay.

I'm not too worried about Duncan because the tandem of Dampier/Haywood should be able to keep him around 19/10 levels instead of him going off for 25/13. Ginobili is hot right now but the Mavs have three good wing defenders to throw at him (Marion, Stevenson and Kidd). He'll get his but he can't be getting 35 a night on 50% shooting. Hill and Parker could give the Mavs real trouble with their quickness.

On paper the Mavs have a few more answers for the Spurs than vice versa, but it wouldn't be a shock if the Spurs won. I wish my fellow Mavs fans wouldn't be so y.

I want to recognize Findog for raising the bar despite the obvious trollish manner in which this thread was started.

I also wish I had a clue about how this series will turn out. You can't deny that the Mavs have had the Spurs' number in recent playoffs; you also can't deny that both clubs have a number of new working parts that will have a lot to say about which team is going to win this series.

Fin's a quality poster w/o a doubt, but I can't help but think a BIT of his civility the past few days has to do w/ trying to balance out the bad juju put out there by stretch, m>s, and the like.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Yeah, and Spurs fans could ease up on the mavs trash-talking, too. Bad karma for both sides, but it's all in good fun, I guess. Kinda expected when two state rivals get together like this.

From a strictly basketball standpoint, though, Spurs-Mavs would be a uva series.

[Shank]

I just got done re-watching the Warriors 2007 first round upset of the gutless wimps (aka the Dallas Mavericks), I've come to one conclusion: Golden State Run 'n' Gun >>>>>>>>>>> Phoenix Suns Run 'n' Gun

and Bay Area fans >>>>>>>> the yuppies in Dallas personified by Mark Cuban
the level of hate i have for the dallas mavericks is only surpassed by how much i hate kobe/lakers/bandwagon laker fans (which is 90% of laker fans)

Why would you watch a matchup featuring two team you supposedly don't care about?

[monosylab1k]

Spurs in 6, imho

[Dex]

And at you not knowing Marion's playoff FAIL history

As much as I wish we could count on this again, Bowen is sporting a bow-tie these days.

Spur fan logic, don't question it. Similar to Palin logic.

You realize these happen every other game the Mavs play too right?

Bowen is a member of NOI?

You forgot to mention RJ. The mavs are going to have to find a way to keep him from going for 25 and 10 every game.

It will be hard to keep him from doubling his season averages.

[TDomination]

i hope jason terry breaks both of his legs (and arms) while driving to the first game of the series.

geez lol

but it's all in good fun,

bingo, we hate them. they hate us, trash talking is going to happen between fans.

i LOVE this time of year!

[jag]

In all honesty...it'd be nice to see him find a rhythm. If he can find his place in the offense, he could have a couple games with 20 and 10. Defense will decide the series, but those are the type of games where it would be hard for Dallas to outscore the Spurs.
