Chandler and others figured the Thunder would roll over like the Blazers & the Lakers did.
Uh, uh.
No team wants to be resisted. Then it's no longer "fun." Then it's work & drudgery & uncertainty. Americans don't like any of that.
You quoted me then responded to something else. I did that once, ended up being a thread above the one I quoted.I swear to the FSM that I read "If Duncan was a better FT shooter the Spurs would have at least one more champioship, I think" or something like that. Didn't you write that and then edited it? Please answer me with the true 'cause I'm worried for my mental sake
My bad then. But it's really weird 'cuse there isn't another thread about FT/Duncan/Dirk.
Would I steer you wrong bro?
What I actually said was "If Tim had Dirk's FT shooting ability, the Spurs would probably have at least 1 more ring"
TC played too gentle in this series imho. nig should just go hard on those OKC rednecks the way he does ghazi's wife
Hahaha I knew it. Good to know I'm not that crazy. What did me wrong is that I quoted your comment already edited.
I couldn't get it across how I wanted it to sound. If Tim shot the FT like Dirk, there's no way the Spurs lose to the Mavs in 2006. In fact, with his post game and bank shot, Tim would be an absolute terror if he shot 90% or whatever from the line.
I was having fun at your expense. Sorry bro.
No prob.
Can you guys not post pictures of ? I just ate. kthxbai
I thought that was chocolate ice cream.
They still have the best player in the series, and they learned that they can get at Perkins using screens with Chandler, and that Stevenson is probably a better defender on Durant than Marion.
They should win, but it's gonna go 6 or 7.
Who are the Mavs to take anyone lightly they've yet to win !
Tired old bag, you ing idiot.
Dirks lost to a ing 7 and 8 seedTim Duncan's lost to a ing 6 and 8 seed the last 3 years.
Duncan
Are you serious? No ing way.
TC's been alright so far...I think the bigger problem lies with the ease in which they've been getting dribble penetration. Harden and Durant (and to some extent Westbrook) were killing them there, and faced hardly any resistance from the wing defenders. I realize it's no easy task for Peja, Kidd, and others to D these guys up, but you gotta make it more difficult to enter the lane.
It's also a problem that Dallas has no one outside of Dirk or Barea ( who barely plays) that can create their own shot and get into the paint. When they aren't in the game, the offense is somewhat stagnant. While the ball doesn't "stick", it moves only around the 3pt line. A lot of that is masked by their great shooting, but Dirk & Barea need to play a lot.
Thunder have KD, Westbrook (although his shot sucks) & Harden that can all do the one on one thing well.
It'll be on the Mavs defense which has served them well.
Harden is really surprising me during these POs, kid is good, he is not afraid and plays like a vet... good stuff
Mavs are losing this series. And no they didn't take the Thunder lightly. It's just a bad matchup. Thunder are loaded. Great bench and unstoppable Durant.
Mavs fans are a wounded bunch. They're so scarred that it is tragic to behold. It's akin to our inability to beat Boston prior to '85. It's a horrible thing for a fandom to have these fears & heart break. It never ends. It's never far away from your psyche. It's a torturous existence for fan. You try and stay away from the source of your misery, hoping it will fade, but, it doesn't. So you come to the arena (like this), or, mix with people of different allegiances in real time and the undercurrent is palpable.
The diseased simian never leaves your back. He's always there.
mavsfan1000 isn't really a Mav fan
Yes I am actually. I'm a realist though. I call it like I feel will happen.
Why do yall dog on Mavfan1000? Just because he isn't a raging homer?
He's like a lot of Mavs Fans:::his mind can take no more. It's a human trait. The mind shuts down after just so much misery. Like a rape victim, or, an assault victim. Your mind can only process so much tragedy before it goes into a coma state where it blocks any further calamity. That's where 1000 is at.
I was in a similar, albeit less corosive state prior to '85. I still had my rings to salve my wounds. I couldn't beat Boston, and was tortured for it endlessly, but, I had a rampart to fall behind and get sustenance to survive.
Mavs Fan has nothing, but, a litany of boundless tragedy & catastrophe. It's a desolate existence for them.
