Why is everyone so sure we lose to dallas in '07?

[sananspursfan21]

Because they owned us in the regular season series (if my memory serves...no google)

Who is everyone? Not sure where you got that from.

My guess is op just wanted a strawman to beat up on after a stressful day of work at the massage parlor

Bc of the idiotic way pop used lineups against them in 06.
Because dirk was a top tier spur killer at the time.
Bc Avery out coached pop 1 year previous
Bc mavs didn't fear us anymore

i remember that part now that you brought it up.

since george is mostly based off larry david... whenever i get to catch an episode of seinfeld i alway wonder if larry david was actually in that situation

A lot of the early Seinfeld seasons were exaggerations of Larry David's real-life experiences.

They were also 55-4 or something like that during a stretch of the regular season and looked pretty unbeatable. Add to the fact that Dirk was playing out of his mind in a majority of those games (50-40-90 at about 24ppg), it was pretty clear that he was gunning for Mr. Larry O'Brien. The Mavs were setting the records that the Warriors are breaking today.

Mavs were the legit contenders that year, if not the favorite, and it's unfortunate that they ran into a really really hot opponent. I'm not saying the Mavs would've outright beaten the Spurs, but given it took the Spurs 6 games to close out the Suns with home court advantage, I'm not so sure they could've pulled it out against the Mavs.

Suns had home court in 07 but I agree on all you said above. I don't know who would have won that series but with HC I think the Mavs had the edge.

Spursfan anger in this series has long been misdirected to
game 7. Watch the last fifteen seconds of regulation of game 4. You've probably all forgotten but that was full on cheating on steroids. Put the Mavs up 3-1.

Bavetta.

I will go to my grave watching Dirk get gifted free throws in a situation where that never happens.

Just desserts they were sodomized by zebras in finals. They had no business being there.

I never about Refs but some of those calls during that series were the worst I have ever seen and most went against the Spurs (Finley tech and Tim fouling out for Dirk stepping on his foot). They later took back the Tech, Popovich replies does that mean we win by a point now? They lost in OT. Talk about salt on the wound later, why even take it back when that decided a series? They win in 6 if he doesn't get that Tech.

Dallas fans forget this and about the finals, but honestly the Spurs were robbed in a few of those games and Dallas never should have been there. I remember after a certain game on TNT Charles saying NBA Refs suck, you could tell he meant every word of it.
