I feel like Dallas is better than us....

[Pauleta14]

Come on, you also fear that Manu won't pass the ball to Tony...

ps: If you have "followed" some of my post, you'll know that my favorite spur is Manu...
(Depiste the fact that I'm a fan of Tony and spent a lot of time defending him these last years...)

Go hide under your covers. The Spurs are a better team.

[barbacoataco]

Dallas is always a tough matchup. But the Spurs beat them in the playoffs last year and this is a much better Spurs team.

@OP Really Dirk scares you? Shooters don't win championships and rarely win series unless its some freak like PHX last year, Dirks not clutch and the guys who they added Paja, Tyson, Brewer, not clutch either, there team will bend when its go time. We have 3 guys who have PROVEN over and over and have rings to show. If we're healthy with the nice bench we got only the Lakers can stop us cuz they got Kobe to kill close games I'm more worried about OKC and Durant over the mavs

[spurspokesman]

Just looking at their roster, they give me the chills.

They have the HARDEST player to match up against in the entire NBA: Dirk Nowitzki. Do we really think Dice is gonna be able to even slow him down???

They have great defensive size. People will call Tyson Chandler soft; but he's changed their mentality. Add in that they have Haywood backing him up; they have what WE had in 2003; along with their 7 foot shooting guard.

They have those annoying little s that get under our skin; just as that Dragic got for PHX did a while back. I hate Jason Terry and that other white boy. But they can and DO make shots.

They have a great bench. Along with those two s, add in Peja and Marion and you've got a well rounded second unit.

-----------------


I'm sorry. But I just don't think we can match up with their size in the first place. Duncan + Dice + Blair VS Chandler + Nowitzki + Haywood?

I think the Mavs may have the advantage.... and that's HUGE.

You saw how BADLY we rebounded against LA. It could very well be that way against Dallas...

I feel the same way. But as true spurs fans we are forced to believe against all odds. But it comes a time to be honest with yourself and dallas looks to be a tall order. Good thread sigz.

[Doctor J]

Dallas won't disappoint me this year as they never have done.

They just don't know how to win in the post season. They just don't have it in them.

If Dallas had a healthy Caron Butler I would agree.

However they don't have that SF scoring dynamic anymore.

Their wing scorers are small shooting guards Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion.

Pretty much its last year's team with the center position improving a tad and the wings downgraded a TON.

Peja a choke in the playoffs usually will be a total stiff now that he's lost so much, plus defensively he's just atrocious.

Personally it would be double dirk and make guys like Peja Chandler and other others beat me on the perimeter.

sorry, but he's the best clutch player in the nba and has been for a few years now.


Maybe all this spurfan is talking will actually make it come true. This forum is going to hilarious to read when the Spurs get ousted.

C improving a tad? The Mavs replaced Erick Dampier with Tyson Chandler. Yeah a in tad

nice take Eric.

Still don't have that #2.

[Greg Oden]

Well yeah, Caron would be nice to have. The Mavs also need to tighten the D up lately. They've been slacking in that department since they were ranked pretty high early in the season.

Where are you Oden? You are missing years in a row now man, when you gonna play a half a season at most?

Amercias most wanted, milkbox style missing bruh! Just flat out MIA.

The other thing people lauding their front line seem to miss is that a large part of our offense comes from outside, rendering their front line useless. If Dice can stay in front of Dirk as he has in the past, they really don't have anything we can't counter, good as they may be.

[Pick of Destiny]

Dallas will be very tough come the playoffs.

Shooters don't win championships yet the SPurs team depends on the 3 about for 95% of their points.

Great logic.

WTF Manu=Dallas?
And now you have to admit Duncan<Nowitski.

[pjjrfan]

The pattern I'm seeing with this year's version of the Spurs is that they will have one great defensive qtr. coupled with a great offensive qtr. It's usually the 3rd or 4th but in some cases like the Pistons it came in the 1st with the Kings they never got serious until they fell behind in the 4th. then the last 4 minutes they locked down on defense, hit some shots and it was over, no wait their careless play made it closer.
