Nope. 1st Round Exit.
I think Mavs fans have done enough talking so we want to hear what the champs have to say. Is Dallas much improved? Do you think they could hang around (keyword: hang, not win) with you guys on a series? Is Dirk too much of a pussy to lead this team to a le?
Nope. 1st Round Exit.
Dalls...better on D, still cannot post up...not enough energy to play D for 4 qtrs. Unpredictable right now, but that is not a bad thing before Playoff time
They can even win the series
get back to me when cuban gets out of jr high school and stops whining to $tern to answer your question
Good D from the young guys and Dampier really isn't that bad.At this point, you could take it to six - and you could get better in the meantimeDo you think they could hang around (keyword: hang, not win) with you guys on a series?His pussyocity is one issue. I will always question a guy who plays no D and calls out another player for not playing D in the media. Being a pussy and an asshole at the same time tends to make one stink.Is Dirk too much of a pussy to lead this team to a le?

To be honest, yes they are much improved. I, unfortunately am currently living in Fort Worth and I get to watch more Mavs games than the average Spurs fan. Dallas is much better than in years past, especially on D. After all, they are coached by a former Spur.![]()
Different style, same Mavericks.
Absolutely much improved defensively. They were thrown off by the Spurs defensive tactics tonight. Anytime Dirk got within 7 feet of the basket he was doubled. He and Howard got into some foul trouble. The Mavs didn't get many open 3 point looks tonight and they didn't play uptempo. Those two things took away their ability make big runs.
The Spurs also made the Mavs pay on their double-teams by hitting shots, especially Nazr.
It's hard to say anything bad about Dirk. His defense isn't that tough maybe.
The soundbite would be: vastly improved defense and better offensive execution. AJ has them on the right track. They should be at their best when AJ jumps ship and takes over for his bud in SA.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I can see Kenny and Charles having fun with that already!
The only guys that "worry" me on the Mavs are Howard and Terry. The only way Dallas beats San Antonio is if both of these guys go off (or one of them and Harris) and Nowitzki has a good game.
crap.![]()
Seriously though...that's the most credit I've seen a Spurs fan give the Mavs. Thank you for not being such a homer that you can't recognize that there IS possibility of another team in the league doing something not completely horrible.
Dallas Mavericks - 2nd best team in the West.
So close, and yet so far.
Hey, I gave credit!
Uh....okay? You want a cookie, hussker?![]()
The Mavericks are a much improved team defensively. Tony said in the locker room that he felt like they were playing the Pistons in the first quarter.
But I believe if they meet in the playoffs, Spurs in Five![]()
What kinda cookie? Not Girl Scout Cookies I hope... i have 6 cases in my car!
The Mavs have the depth and the talent to beat any team in the league in a seven game series. It's there. We all saw it. What they do with that is up to them.
I also think that not having Devin Harris flying to the basket every 24 seconds combined with SA finally having Horry back out on the floor was a two-fold factor.
Also, I think this reenforced the importance of winning the division. Would you rather have HCA and a forty-something win team in the first round, or go tangle with the ing Grizzlies in the first round and be rewarded by two games in Dallas to start the conference semis?
Alright, now we're just trying to score with adrienne....
As I said to my Mavs fan buddy who I watched the game with tonight, they're almost there. Not quite, but almost. I can definitely see AJ's Spur influence on this team. Even though he didn't play tonight, I think Devin Harris is going to be huge for them within a couple years. Dirk has mad game, Josh Howard is going to be a stud. They have a lot of the pieces and the key is that most of them are young, unlike the Spurs. So, more success later than now.
