Knock...knock....knock on wood!!![]()
I agree the Mavs have never been the best team in the West. Until this year.
We lost Game 6 because we we're shorthanded. We won't have that problem in Game 7. Mavs win.![]()

Spurs didn't lose Game 5.
But either losing Game 7 at home would suck.
I can see one of them losing but not both. that would be crazy after they both won game 6.
I don't know about that. I agree that they are much improved, but not on the Spurs' level.
Think about it, the Spurs have been "shorthanded" these entire playoffs, and the guy (Parker) who carried them throughout the year is hurting now.
What pissed me off was that the Mavericks were being made to look better than they really were, with some "experts" saying the Mavs could beat the Spurs anytime they wanted, like they owned them or something (not to mention the Spurs probably should have won all 3 games in Dallas without some "help"). They weren't facing a 100% healthy Spurs team, and no one will in these playoffs. All of those little pretty shots that went in all series are different when the pressure is on, and the Mavericks just haven't "been there" enough to know how to handle it.
I think their heads got a bit too big when up 3-1, and they believed the hype, and now they will go home in the second round left to think about what could have been.
I don't mind losing a series to the Pistons, since they have proven how good they are. But the Mavericks are truly an inferior team, and have much to learn before beating the Spurs in a 7-game series.
You lost game 6 because you counted on Jason Terry. If you were a better team, you wouldn't rely on mental midgets to win.
Great teams don't make the kinds of mistakes that the Jason Terry and the Mavs made.
It's not impossible for the Mavs to win, but is extremely, extremely unlikely.
You had a 3-1 advantage (largely, in my view, due to bad officials). You lost game 5. Terry punched Michael in the groin, so that one of your two or three best players could not play. That contributed to your loss at home in game 6. Now, you have lost 2 straight games, forfeited a 3-1 deficit and are playing the defending World Champs in a game 7 on their own home floor.
Mavs can't feel good about this game. While Terry is back, Tony normally shoots better than 50% from the floor. He shot 20 % from the field and scored only 8 points. So, Tony's improvement in the next game will counter Terry's return.
Tim Duncan is a monster and you all have no answer for him at all. Tim will make sure that we walk away with the w.
All of the other games I expected to be close (game 2 Mavs killed us so I was wrong). This game I expect to be broken wide open by a patented 3rd quarter Spurs at home run.
Slim Chance bought his airplane tickets, packed his bags, called the cab company and is walking out the door, leaving only his brother None.
BTW, regarding Pistons win, a lot of us predicted it!!!
Didn't have to be prescient to see that one coming down the tracks!!!
I'm not by any means the only one, but I pictured the Cavs getting off to a quick start (11-4) they did, the Pistons slowly worked themselves back into the game and the Pistons were the team that would execute better and get it done in the fourth! This is precisely what I posted and what happened.
Pistons by at least 10 in this next game and maybe by a lot more.
Pistons will beat the Heat and will be one tough opponent in the Finals.
Even if we win, Mavs are a much better team this year than in past years. They are the second best team in the west.
Spurs vs Suns= small ball version 2.0? or Spurs vs Clips (I think a better basketball team) which means normal Spurs basketball (thank God!!!).
Clips would be tougher, I believe, for us to win but we are the better team.
Finals: Spurs vs Pistons finals.
Finals: Spurs vs Pistons finals.

we're rootin for u in detroit. I hope ya'll make it, because the spurs deserve to. They are better then that.
Getting ahead of oursleves are we...hmmm?
It was heartening to watch both the Pistons and Spurs cowboy up in Game 6 to get the wins. Both champs know how to give that extra push when everything's on the line. I haven't been watching the Detroit-Cleveland games much, but the game Friday night looked just as ridiculous with the ticky-tac calls as the Spurs games have been. Has that been an issue with the Detroit games, too?
Also, thanks Pistons fans for overall being respectful in the Spurs Forum. With very few exceptions, the Dallas trolls have been a little too much to stomache during this series. Here's to a repeat of last year with the two best teams meeting again!
lebron's been getting the superstar treatment on fouls, but overall, no, I don't think the refs have been much of an issue.
even though we won. Dirk only had one foul. and he got it almost towards the end of the game.
Yup, at the o'le fish'n hole!!! GO MAVS beat the Heat!!

Yay, another troll. Run along now, 'neck.
Welp, looks like someone is banned for posting in this thread
You don't have to be a just because outside of Dallas no one thinks your team is good. GO SUNS
It's because of posts like this that I'm even here. And, don't worry I wont waste anymore time here, as your post shows the intelligence on this board. I've visited (not trolled) many other teams' boards and had very good dialogue with other teams' basketball fans. But to say no one outside of Dallas thinks the Mavs are good....is preposterous. Dallas swept the Griz, beat a very good Spurs team (on the road), and is now one win away from the NBA finals. You do not achieve that by not being a good team!! The Spurs are a VERY good team (I'll bet even you agree to that) and they and the Mavs went back and forth all year. So you're telling me a lousy team can compete with the mighty Spurs, I dont think so! I really, prefer not to bash other teams, as I appreciate good talent and hard work. But sometimes you have to stand up for what is right!
GO MAVS....2006 NBA CHAMPS (Yeah I know it'll only be our first, but hey it's a start)
"Welp, looks like someone is banned for posting in this thread" trainwreck.
this guy reminds me of my 12 year old daughter. he is not exactly thick skinned. he is about as sensitive as a vagina that is my namesake.
...as soon as one little thing doesnt go according to plan in his life, he wants to lash out.
And then there were two.
It was made very clear that any mav fan posting in a believe thread will be banned for 24 hours.
...do you think its possible that not every visitiing mavs fan is up on the stringent rules and regulations of your board?
you can ban me all day, but it wont make it just or change the fact that my mavericks are playing to advance to the finals in a few hours.
you need to thinkn about getting your bitterness and resentment in check.
you would not be all pissy if the spurs were still in the playoffs, you ing baby.
Nobody asked you to post in here to call me 12 and defend your boy for being a dumbass, maybe if he didn't bump this you wouldn't be in this situation. Leonard and Shank both got banned for 24 hours and they didn't know either so accept it and move on.

im not the one who bumped this thread and got it onto the first page.
i merely responded to your selfrightously taking the bully pulpit and basking in people getting banned.
...but thats neither here nor there.
...you are a ing baby.
my 12 year old has more maturity than you do, so i'll admit that remark was poorly chosen.
