Our perimeter D guarding Gay Mayo
Mavs-Grizzlies in the first round. Whether it's a 3-6 or a 2-7 matchup is irrelevant.
Grizzlies will take the series in 6 games. Fadeaway three pointers will be made. It's inevitable at this point.
my life.
Our perimeter D guarding Gay Mayo
A bit early for a jinx thread isn't it?
How are the Mavs winning so much though? I just can't figure it out.
Mavs will make it farther than the spurs. Book it.
They're a good team, that's probably how.
bad time to drop a deuce at home no doubt
Tbh fluke loss tonight. With all the bull happening it gave me flashbacks of GS
I wonder if the Grizz will make the playoffs. They were fortunate tonight, but definitely choked at home on Friday night against a struggling Hornets team without West and Ariza. That was a bad loss for them and really made me question if they're good enough to keep the 8th spot from the Suns or Rockets.
It's not an earth shattering loss but unacceptable nonetheless. You can't blow 17-point leads at home....that's Miami's job
I really don't see it as a jinx thread tbh. I truly believe the Grizzlies, while not exactly having a Golden State type ownage of Dallas, are familiar enough with the Mavericks, and have had enough current and past success against them that they could definitely take the Mavericks out in a series.
tbh that made me spit up my beer
1-3 v Grizz, but 2 of those losses were just by 1 point. If Big Daddy was playing I bet we'd win tonight
Mavs will be fine in the 1st round, 2nd round is where an exit seems likely..
I love how Mike Conley is pretty much the definition of an average point guard, but of course against Dallas he always looks like Nash Iverson.
tbh I think the Mavs chances of making the WCF significantly increase if they tank it for the #4 seed imho
Just hope they're using up all their clutch against you in the regular season.
Spurs are doing something. Dirk is a jump shooter, albeit a of a jump shooter. They only have one dimension and they have no second option.
Spurs on the other hand have balance on their roster, a deep bench, a competent coach and at least two players (Manu and TP) that can be #1 or #2 options offensively.
They might make it as far, but not further.
A good "team"? Like I said, they don't have much talent overall (at least offensively) and they are not THAT good defensively to make up for it. Maybe with Caron they had enough talent, but even then, he was probably the weakest #2 option for one of the top teams record wise.
Without them, who is their second option? What true skill players do they have and where is the balance on the roster?
I can see that series to be like the 2005 first round with Houston. Potential to go 7 games but Dallas would definitely win the ones they need to
The Grizz have beat some quality teams this year, tbh. They're no joke
Conley has had a pretty solid year if you have watched him. Not an all-star, but definitely having his best year.
Spurs can sneak into the WCF because OKC won't be able to challenge the Spurs frontcourt which is their weakness. Spurs are a perimeter oriented team just like OKC and they do it better and OKC can't take advantage of the Spurs frontcourt.
Yeah that's probably why I didn't say he sucked.
scro the Spurs have no frontcourt to speak of. Tim Duncan averages like 4ppg against the Lakers and Bynum, Odom and Gasol are going to take a steaming on them come playoff time.
So in essence the Spurs will be reduced to jumpshooting too once Philip packs the paint (like he always do about this tiiiiiime).
If this was the NCAA tourney then the Spurs would look good, but this is the NBA, and good guard play will only take you so far
You did say this and it's not just vs the Mavs. He has had plenty of really good games. Better than tonight's.
