Spurs in 6

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

yep that's him he's also the guy who said the 07 Suns were "historically good" and would give the Showtime Lakers a run for their money.

The amount of Steve Nash/Mike D'antoni glug Bill Simmons likes to chug is one of the many reasons why I've lost interest in reading his pieces. Talking about how the run and fun Suns made him bukkake all over his TV was one thing in 2007, the fact he's still talking about makes me question his basketball knowledge when everyone knows by now that system is bound to fail.

At the start of the season he picked the Spurs over the Celtics in the finals. Guess he flip-flopped after SA's disappointing season. Link to his original predictions(at the end of the article on right side):

Mono could be right on. Great prediction knowing Carlisle's stupid tendencies.

[monosylab1k]

unfortunately yes, the prophecy will be fulfilled.

[Spurtacus]

I'm not so sure about that game 6 is a lock for the Spurs. Tonight made it 3-2 but the Mavs played tough in each of those losses. Dampier is on the bench where he belongs. Haywood could be the difference in this series. I don't believe the Spurs will play any worse then last night...but the Mavs are still capable of coming out guns blazing.

So, don't be surprised if the Mavs take Game 6. With or without Joey Crawford as the ref.

[John Terry]

lol thinking dallas barely has a chance

lol moron

lol spurfan

leaving the 3rd item, the upper two both apply to your brother as well.

[John Terry]

mono isn't a spurfan, I mean, he's indeed a Thunder fan (or possibly a Warriors fan also, but no way is he a mavs fan).

[Ghazi]

hhmm. botched the first two games

propechy has already failed

[TampaDude]

Like I said before the series started, and like I laid my vBookie $$$ down...SPURS IN 6.

[monosylab1k]

yep.

[monosylab1k]

a bunch of jumpshooting frontrunners

any gots wanna dispute this now?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I've had my finger on the pulse of these Dallas Mavericks all season, and this is what I've got - a bunch of jumpshooting frontrunners. When things are going their way and everybody is having fun, they play great. When they start playing great, they start slacking off. When they play terrible, they slump their shoulders and pout like some ing 6 year olds.

Not sure how anyone could call this "cynical", based on this series it's pretty damn accurate.

any gots wanna dispute this now?

Only the blind ass homers, Dirk lovers and little girls who want to marry Dirk

[monosylab1k]

Ghazi? Findog? wanna tell me how wrong I am?

[LnGrrrR]

Shouldn't the Spurs be playing Sweet Georgia Brown over the speakers right about now?

[sribb43]

I wouldn't be shocked at all if the mavs lost... I'm most concerned with how they play at home in the series. If they continue to the bed at the aac with the same lackluster efforts we've seen all year, then I'm very concerned

[Ghazi]

lol @ quoting yourself on that as if its some sort of "I told you so" point.

[mavsfan1000]

I could see a disaster coming myself in this matchup. Kidd can't guard Parker or Hill. It's a mismatch. And Marion can't guard Ginobili either. That makes our best defender worthless.

[LnGrrrR]

Cmon Mavs, pull this out. The game 7 would be amazing if they can.

[picc84]

Uh oh....

[monosylab1k]

Trust me, I want to be wrong. Every bone in my body wants to be wrong.

I just don't think I am.

[LnGrrrR]

Don't see why they don't have Heywood in there... but nice to see Roddy playing after every Mav fan on this board wanted him in there. Their belief is vindicated so far.

[BlackSwordsMan]

looks like findog aint going no where

[LnGrrrR]

Roddy making some nice moves out there.

[LnGrrrR]

WHY is Dampier out there? I don't get it. Did Carlisle not watch the last game he coached?
