Since 2006
2006 ? is that the year dirk started beating up on stationary bikes ? or is that the year that the heat won the le ?
Heat?
Dont know what u are talking about, Heat never won the le since 88
Possibly the worst thread on this message board this season.
Because usually, when the coach says "Hey player, you're going in," the player goes in?then why did he come back dumbass???
How does going back into the game when Carlisle says relate at all to whether the guy was giving much effort?
You Mavs fans are idiots.
Two words: Home court
The Mavs have it to play for and could of ended up as the #4 seed. Of course they were trying. You don't play your starters the whole game if you really don't care.
Spurs just played none of their best players, missed wide open threes all night, and STILL were within 6 pts with 1:30 to go. And it would of been worse if our backups were even trying. See Blair just screwing around at the end of the game even though they were close.
We didn't want to win. We want to guarantee we play you pussies cause you can't even dominate our backups like a good team should.
Cool story, Hansel.
lol thats what i told in the gamethread like 3 times after some other guys cried why the Mavs still play their starters.
But starters or not, you saw that the Mavs didnt play with any intensity. They just did enough to keep the +10, they didnt play hard or intense...
So lets finally forget this game, its useless for analysis.
You can also make the argument that the mavs' starters weren't trying as hard as they could to win the game either. Half of an effort and still won by a comfortable margin. Watching and laughing as Pop screams at Keith Bogans making a fool out of himself.
This game shows IMO that Pop was afraid his best wasn't going to be good enough to win the game, thus playing all the odd-ball lineups.
Mavs head into the playoffs confident and chemistry fine tuned, while the spurs will head in with nobody sure what their roles are and with a unpredictable imbecile of a coach.
the man has a point, say if this situation were reversed, the game is in San Antonio with Spurs starters in most of the game, Dirk and Kidd are out of the game anything less than a dominating performance would be disappointing.
In fairness I'd be in denial too if my team barely won a game against a team without two of their stars on your own court.
Why would anyone take anything from either team's performance tonight? Neither are relevant.
Yeah, no, it's actually really not that disappointing at all. Just FYI.the man has a point, say if this situation were reversed, the game is in San Antonio with Spurs starters in most of the game, Dirk and Kidd are out of the game anything less than a dominating performance would be disappointing.

"Barely" winning a game is winning by 1,2,3 points and missing a shot to win or tie at the end. Mavs had a comfortable double digit lead most of the 4th quarter and relaxed enough for the spurs to cut it to 7 by the end.the man has a point, say if this situation were reversed, the game is in San Antonio with Spurs starters in most of the game, Dirk and Kidd are out of the game anything less than a dominating performance would be disappointing.

Most importantly, the Mavs covered the -6.5. People made bank thanks to this scrub game.
Total denial.
The game plan for the Mavs was to get up by 25 and then rest their starters the second half.
They failed
EPICLY.
You ARE in denial.
We had NOTHING to gain by winning this game and EVERYTHING to lose.
We could of had injuries to Manu and Duncan, the only reason Parker played was because he still needs the minutes to get back in game shape and work on his shot.
But the biggest thing we had to lose was the opportuninty to play you in the first round.
YOu realize how big of an insult that is? We WANT to play you even if it means throwing a game.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dumbasses in denial.
What a tremendous post.
Quite entertaining, 'twas.
35 posts, what a waste of using a keyboard
So lemme see spurfan logic..
Pop using whacko lineups and ruining the chemistry of the team because he needs to find out who is going to step up in the LAST ING GAME OF THE SEASON because you know.. those 81 games beforehand just weren't enough to figure it out.
Pop was trying to throw the game that's why he was screaming at yelling at players in
4th quarter.. because you know they weren't carrying out his game plan of "throwing the game"
OMG ... ROFLMFAO!!
barely is a subjective term.
Look Pop wasn't throwing the game, he made a calculated decision.So lemme see spurfan logic..

If you play your starters full minutes and win, you only have the CHANCE of getting #6 seed. If you play your starters full minutes and lose....you've just wasted any rest you could have given your stars.
Pop knows his best chance of winning any series is a healthy team. PERIOD.
This has nothing to do with wacky lineups, scared of the Mavs, etc.... it's a calculated move that gives him the higher percentage of going further in the playoffs.
I mean think about it, even if the Spurs did win in a blowout....why would Pop want that? Complacency is no way to win a championship.
u mad bro
That says all
Dallas beat San Antonio 96-89 Wednesday night in a game Dirk Nowitzki(notes) said had “a little preseason feel out there.”
Your take is illogical and weak.
If pop were afraid is best were not good enough to win against dallas, that means he set us up to play dallas, knowing we can't beat them in a 7 game series.
Would it not make better sense, if pop thought that, to go for a low percentage chance to avoid "sure defeat" in the playoffs, at least for 1 series?
Second, we did not lose any chemistry. Once game is not going to do , especially when our key guys needed rest. Manu needed rest. The chemistry we built when Ginobilli went Super Manu has a month-long foundation, and is not shattered by taking one night off.
Third, pop clearly had reasons for doing what he did, and his "illogical" choices make perfect sense. Give tony a chance to shoot and get in game shape, give Hill a chance too (although his getting hurt was random bad luck), and Blair got some good run against the dallas bigs. We did not tip our hand in any way, got rest for our best players, and let our bench get a chance to shoot.
Last, your argument that dallas gained "confidence" makes no sense. First, they are already confident against us. Second, how does beating our bench by 7 build confidence? Third, this game was not going to do anything to their confidence unless it was a blowout, which was unlikely. Forth, more likely would be that they would get a free chance to learn about our defense for the game, and try to make adjustments already in game 1 when it counts. Confidence is not an issue here.
next.
