Jalen Rose says Mavs in 5, cake walk

[sefant77]

2-1* Don't tell me ya'll count tonight as a "win."

You guys are 2-6 against the only 8 good teams ya'll have played since the middle of march, or so. That's one key statistic here.

What's the main key statistic? Point differential, and some mavs fan erroneously made the claim in another thread that point differential "doesn't matter as much as some make it out to be" (or something along those lines).

Flat out false if you look at the history

Spurs vs Western Conference Playoff Teams: 9-17

Ups...

yes it was a win

an NBA team that chooses to tank a game doesnt get a free pass

[LOL@MavsFan]

Spurs vs Western Conference Playoff Teams: 9-17

Ups...

Spurs in the 2010 playoffs 0-0
Mavs in the 2010 playoffs 0-0

the regular season means jack now...it's all about heart and who wants to win more.

Ups...

Mavs fan who can't read, not surprised.

I won't even tell you where you went wrong, we'll make this a little exercise in reading comprehension.

[sefant77]

Tell that ur Spurs buddy that came up with the 2-6 as key statistic...

ITS PLAYOFFS, so RS means crap. You can always find one statistic and point it out where a team looks bad and ignoring other facts that doesnt fit. But then your name is John Trollinger.

If you can't see the fallacy in what you're doing here, I'm not sure there's much I can say to help you.

all I know is that if the Spurs are worried about tanking and playing games for "confidence", then they have too many internal problems to beat this current Mavs team

[UnWantedTheory]

I just want a good series to get excited about. I dont want to see a cleen sweep either way. I want to watch balls to the wall BBALL & hopefully the Spurs will end up on top. If not, well than thats the way it goes. I dont see either team winning the championship, but both teams have been playing really well as of late. I am actually excited about the Spurs' chances considering how we have played & who we have played the last month. With that said, the Mavs are no push over. I worry about their length down low & they have plenty of scoring power if they get hot. This will require a great defensive effort by the Spurs. I believe both teams have an equal chance overall in the PO. Either way, I believe the Spurs will be a great sight to see next season. But again, we as fans should not disrespect this Mavs team, just because we have played relatively great ball as of late. It wont be easy win or lose for either team. Now the Mavs fan base is something else altogether.

Yeah it is bad...I agree stats dont lie but I am saying the playoffs are a whole different game. Good luck Mavs fan!

Jalen rose is an idiot.

It's amazing how a guy who actually played professional basketball can have such an amateurish opinion.

Unless Manu, Tim or TP get injured, this series will be anything but a cakewalk - for either team.

I hope Hill is ok and ready to go too.

Tanking in the playoffs? HAHAHAHA Mavs fan accusing any team of tanking in the playoffs is like a crackhead talking about someone who smokes crack

Dallas Mavs chokin since 87

[LOL@MavsFan]

Yeah b/c that means nothing, right?

[sefant77]

Actually thats what im saying all the time.

Forget last year because both teams arent the same, forget the RS games and specially this game tonight

[ZB 512]

certainly didnt mean much in getting them a seed better than #7 in 2010

[LOL@MavsFan]

Thank you! Either team can win this series...it will come down to the bench/role players.

Heres to a kick ass series!!!

[sefant77]

Im amazed how ex-players can carry their personal crap out in the world. Thats not "experts", thats bags trashing always teams or players they lost against in their career.

Chris Webber is the king of them.

[LOL@MavsFan]

Yeah it means a lot.....but championship teams win on the road and I think the Spurs are up to the challenge....at the same time dallas is too...
