While it's good for the Spurs to be back to 2002-2007 championship form, this first round is really nothing to get excited about. The Spurs came into the series against the Mavericks as the favorites. Dallas has one All-Star in Dirk Nowitzki, but after Dirk, who's left? It's a one-man team. The Spurs are used to beating this team in the playoffs. We beat them in 2001, 2003, 2006 was all but won if not for some BS officiating. And 2009 doesn't count because Manu was out. So while it's fun to see the Spurs winning, we shouldn't be rubbing this in Mavs fans' faces. The Spurs were expected to win this series. No big surprises here. Dallas thought they could come out and hit lucky shots, but now that the shots aren't falling , now what?
This isn't trash talking. When you have a supporting cast of two Washington Wizards, Eduardo Najera, and JJ Barea, how much can you really expect out of the Mavs? Not much. So we shouldn't be too hard on them. The Mavericks pulled an upset in Game 1 but we really should have won this series 4-0, but we'll take an extra game and finish them off Tuesday. So, the Spurs so far have just been doing what they're supposed to do against a team they're supposed to beat. The Mavs wanted to come out and try and shoot some bull shots on us? Try again. When Jason Terry isn't getting fast break jumpers and Dirk's fadeaway shot isn't falling, this team is more of a 41-41 type of team. How about Erick Dampier? Shooting 0% in the series.
Again, nothing personal against Dallas, no one expected them to win this series in the first place.
the mavs are a pretty good team dude we are just better
i see that your skillz in editing hasn't diminished at all.
Butler and Haywood are nothing to sneeze at. I would kill to have Butler on the Spurs even now. Probably more so then Jefferson, although Jefferson is starting to make that a little less desirable. even Haywood is better right now than most of our bigs.
Dallas is playing with the best team they've ever had, it's not so perfectly built to destroy the Spurs anymore ala Harris and Howard, but it's still a better team than the ones that choked in the finals.
Be honest. Is that what you were saying after Game 1? Cuz if it is, you should be in Vegas, and not hanging around here.
C'Mon, jus reading this thread is STUPID!
Both teams shot some shots...
SpursDynasty, you never cease to amaze with your completely arse-backwards takes.
We were favourites... really? The #2 against the #7 who made a big upgrade trade at the deadline?
And did you watch the Spurs at all this year? "Beating a team we are meant to beat"... really? Did you see this kind of defence at all this year? Did you see us play with this kind of heart, intensity and toughness during the regular season this year? I certainly didn't.
I call bull on your entire take.

... and still able to troll those he supposed to troll.
Even spur homers (Legler and Ludden) picked against us......
Ludden b/c he was worried about Hill's health and Legs b/c he's slowly going insane....he picked the mavs over the lakers in the conference finals
Spurs will still a tough battle to close it out...gotta eat humble pie now
Agree lot of people say Mavs are deeper but they surely are all wrong
Good trolling
Someone forgot who the OP is......
Congrats good sir, you've been successfully trolled.

If the Spurs were the favorites how come all four of the Yahoo sports experts predicted the Mavs would win...
To be fair, 3 out of those 4 could still end up being right. Gotta take care of business in Game 5.

Not more all stars going by this years game.
I think this series is actually pretty intense. Watching the first two games got me thinking that this series could go any which way, and all the games have been pretty close so far.
I love trolls....TBH it gives me joy to make fun of em......I could do it all day.
I hadn't seen SpursDynasty in a while
Its good to have you back for i can always count on reading hilarious threads like these
