the Three-J's were great. I wonder what would have been if Jim Cleamons, injuries, and Toni Braxton didn't ruin them.
Same as all the Mav fans cheering on Denver pendejo, thats what you do when you hate another team

Funny, I hate the Spurs pretty thoroughly and I'm not cheering on Denver. In fact, if you took a quick look at the Mavs message boards the amount of cheering for Denver is microscopically small compared to the full-fledged Warriors love fest going on here.
Just goes to show who's scared of who.
Maybe fear of the Mavs is part of it - but it's probably moreso the Stephen Jackson factor. Tons of people (me included) love SJax.
But I like the Warriors for a lot of reasons - Stephen Jackson, 2 UCLA players, and an Ellis. You can't go wrong.
yeah. I think if Cleamons hadn't confused the out of them with his installing of the triangle, they would have had a better at ude about things and Nellie might not have shipped them all off.
i liked the Kidd trade cuz it netted us Finley and eventually caused us to get Nash. but imagine if we kept Jackson and Mash...this could have been our lineup eventually...
Nash
Finley
Jackson
Mashburn
Nowitzki
Ceballos & Juwan Howard off the bench
...that would have been the ultimate smallball lineup. probably would have won about the same, but those guys would have been DAMN FUN to watch.
The Mavs don't have the history of winning that the Spurs do. For a fair comparison, you'd have to compare the Spurs fanbase of the late eighties in between Gervin and Robinson to what the Mavs had right before Cuban bought the team. I doubt Hemisphere Arena (or was it H. Center?) was rocking and sold out every night. The reason the Cowboys can still draw when they're down is five superbowl les and the fact that football is a more popular sport than basketball in the state of Texas. Another factor is that San Antonio is a one-team town, whereas Dallas has franchises for the three major pro sports leagues, plus hockey.
It doesn't really matter whether the Spurs have less or more bandwagon homers, I'd be inclined to agree that the Mavericks fanbase includes more, but so what? What does that have to do with anything? Hardcore fans like you and me that were there during the dark days and know the Ballad of Roy Tarpley by heart don't come here to post "DIRK RULEZ! TONY LONGORIA! MAVSZ IS THU SHIZNITT!"
It's a classic debating maneuver on Aggiefan's part: deflect the issue and turn the topic to an easy strawman to knockdown, rather than admit that theofficiating didn't cost GS the game. In one breath he claims that the refs stole it for Golden State, and then in another post, he claims "Oh yeah, Mavs probably would've won, but it's just Bennett Salvatore I'm upset about." Pick a lane, please. If he wants to about Salvatore, I'm ready to supply my own vitriol, but if he wants to claim that the refs handed us the victory last night, that completely ignores what Dallas did right and what Golden State did wrong. Anytime BS is involved, both teams are going to get bad calls going against them.
I actually want the Mavs to win that series. I just want the refs to be less noticeable in the games.
There is little doubt that a lot of Spurs fans hope somebody else takes out the Mavericks so that the Spurs don't have to face them, even if those Spurs fans are not willing to admit it.
Fair enough. I never really saw Spurs fans as loving him I guess--I realize that he played a critical role in a championship winning team but I figure that was awhile ago and now he's obviously not a Spur anymore.Maybe fear of the Mavs is part of it - but it's probably moreso the Stephen Jackson factor. Tons of people (me included) love SJax.
But I like the Warriors for a lot of reasons - Stephen Jackson, 2 UCLA players, and an Ellis. You can't go wrong.
That said, that really doesn't explain the clamor in the first few pages of this thread about every call that went agaisnt the Warriors, SJax or not. Unless the love for SJax is so powerful that it ignites everyone here into a Warrior frenzy? Maybe it does...
The Spurs would be a lot easier to cheer against if their owner insulted the people of Dallas every meeting and basically acts like an asshole 99% of the time. Not to mention if Spurs players were cheapshoting Mavs in the nuts. Or if virtually every time the teams played the game was handed to the Spurs by the refs. Just some reasons...
I'm all for anything that makes the Mavs work as hard as possible before the WCF.
I don't recall naming you specifically. Check out pages 1-3 of this very thread and you'll see who I'm referring to.

Kori, you love SJAx??!?Maybe fear of the Mavs is part of it - but it's probably moreso the Stephen Jackson factor. Tons of people (me included) love SJax.

he's a ing idiot. I admit he has mad game but I would never say I love that crazy nut
I'd have to disagree with you on the Mavs...they are really getting popular and are setting a standard on the future of the organization. They still need to win it all though...San Antonio only has the Spurs so most residents are probably die hard fans...if you guys suddenly inherited a an NFL team, "bangwagonning" would occur.
I personally am more of a Cowboys fan (football in general), but I want to see the men in blue do it this year. I have endured the pain of watching the "old Mavs" as well.
He's my favorite Spur.
He's my favorite Spur.
I had thought Bruce was.
Bruce is my favorite current Spur.
I've lost a lot of respect for SJax since that whole fiasco in Detroit. He seems to make really re ed decisions.
Oh, I agree.
But he wasn't making those type of decisions in San Antonio. He's a guy who needs discipline and a good environment.
Question about a call that happened in the War/Mav game....
The play where Ellis an Barnes were trying to in bound the pass after a Josh Howard(I believe) made a layup, why was a violation called there? Neither player had stepped out of bounds, the ball had not yet been inbounded at that point. I looked at it a few times and don't see a violation. Anyone else catch that?
True. I guess being around Ron Artest didn't help.
Nah it was actually cause whichever one of them inbounded it had a foot inbounds when he tossed it in. You have to be standing completely out of bounds before you inbound the ball.
S-Jax is one of my favorite Spurs of all time. I have never seen a player who could make me so mad on the court, and then 30 seconds later make me jump out of my chair screaming in joy
What about Evan Eshemeyer?
