2nd round Game 1- Utah Jazz Vs Golden State Warriors

[MadDog73]

Hhaha based on what? Just cause you're still in the playoffs doesn't make you better. Only the Warriors can claim they are better. If anything you gotta go with head-head matchups and overall record

It's all about Matchups, stupid.

Or, are you saying that if the Jazz beat the Warriors, than the Jazz > Mavs?


There's no doubt in my mind Spurs would have beat the Mavs, especially if Dirk played like he did vs. Golden State...

Golden State knows how to stop Dirk. Spurs cannot.

Notice Golden State is not playing with the same fire they played with against the Mavericks. To them, last series was the championship. They beat, very possibly,the best team in the NBA. What more do they have to prove.

That it wasn't a fluke?

The best team in the NBA doesn't get eliminated in the first round. Golden State proved only one thing - that the Mavs are overrated. If the Mavs are "the best team in the NBA" and they couldn't stop GS, that makes GS the best team in the NBA. I'm glad those Dallas flukes are gone. It's nice to be able to put the TV on ESPN/ABC w/out having to watch some shots by Dirk and Howard.

The crowd in Utah is just as boisterous as the crowd in Oakland!

This proves how little you know about how basketball works. It's all about matchups. So you are saying if Dallas would have played and beat San Antonio first round and then gotten eliminated by Golden State in a second round that Golden State is better than San Antonio? That's just stupid. You become dumber with every post.

PS. I have not once bragged or flaunted the Mavericks 67 win season, but I will say that there are no room for flukes when you win that many games in an 82 game basketball season. This proves further that you are a re . I know your hate for the Mavs stems beyond your reasoning, but come on... get with the program you tool.

A team which would of been a top 4 seed had they had this unit all season long. GS have proved they are a very good team. Utah have a very good team also with very good players. Williams, Boozer and Okur are going to be stars for a long time.

I'm not sure that GST would have been a top 4 seed if they'd had their current group all year long. They couldn't have done any more damage to Dallas, and the Mavericks still ended up with 67 wins. I don't think they would have had the juice to win the Pacific over Phoenix. The only way that they get a top 4 seed at that point is for them to have finished with a better record than the 58-win Spurs, which I don't think they would have done, either.

They're good, but I think over the course of a long season, they're probably a 5 or 6 seed. As it was, they would have had the 7th seed this year if Nellie hadn't given away that game in Washington.
