+1....There will be 70+ FT's every game of the series with those two in one series..
I like Spurs being the underdogs.
+1
So who would you rather play? Dallas or Utah? Utah is the hotter team, and more disciplined team.
Both teams are 7-3 in their last 10, and Dallas is on a 4-game winning streak, whereas Utah is on a 1-game winning streak.
So the possibilites are if Denver loses to Phx tomorrow than the Mavs will need to win Wed to get the 2nd Seed. Because Utah has the tie breaker. And a Portland loss will be the only way we move the the 6th seed. So we won't know until the last Regular season game is played to know where we are sitting.
You still think Bonner is starting and Mason runs the backup point.
i honestly dont know. prob utah.
i would rather get the 6th seed and play denver though and the only way that happens is if we go full speed wednesday and beat dallas.... and then Golden State beats Portland...
The Mavs are the better team without a doubt - but not by a wide margin, the Spurs definitely have a chance.You still think Bonner is starting and Mason runs the backup point.
They're the better team... because you say so. Oh ok.
How is that any different than you thinking that the Mavs are " ed" if the play the Spurs this year?They're the better team... because you say so. Oh ok.
They sure didn't look ed when they scored 42 points in the fourth quarter the last time the teams played. You know, before the Mavs made their big trade.
Yes your Mavs are on a 4 game winning streak, and won 7-3 but the compe ion has been the weakest of any other playoff team in the west. Mavs are 9-6 over their last 15 games, and have only beat 2 teams with a winning record (Denver when they lost 6 out of 7, and Portland last week). I've been calling this team "the smoke and mirrors mavericks" all season. This team might have plenty of key names on it but has the smallest point differential in the west, where Utah has the greatest (yes ahead of LA). Utah is a better basketball team in my opinion.
You're on a Spurs forum. That's the difference. But if you want to really break it down, the Spurs are a complete team now, Tony is healthy, Manu is healthy, you still can't stop Duncan. Hill has rosen. Our bench is lethal. I can continue to go on.
Spurs lost to the Cavs both times in 2007, guess what that meant come playoff time when they met in the Finals.They sure didn't look ed when they scored 42 points in the fourth quarter the last time the teams played. You know, before the Mavs made their big trade.
That's fine and good that you think they're better, but they are certainly not the "hotter team." They haven't been playing that well lately either.
I hope it comforts Spurs fans to tell themselves that the Mavs are "smoke and mirrors." Spurs have a fine chance to win a playoff series against the Mavs, but if you think the Mavs aren't legitimately good, you are in for a rude awakening.

read it and weep mavsfans
for starters they will be the higher seed. They have the better record. That alone suggest they might be the better team,if only by a couple games.They're the better team... because you say so. Oh ok.
im glad we dont have to deal with josh howard... ill let butler jack up bad shots all game..
him and haywood have been through some real tough playoff battles.. let me tell ya
Come on Dub, deep down you and I both know the Mavs are taking this in 6.
Also, will Damp be starting over Haywood in this series?
I would too. Though K-Mart is back I really think this team can get under their skin. And I think if Karl doesn't come back then Dantley might be in over his head. In the POs matchups and adjustments or critical to winning a series. Game to game tweaking usually means the difference between winning and losing.
Oh, I get it, so you get like a sort of "home court advantage" for being hypocritical? Nice.
Oh , here's a Mavs fan that I haven't seen post all season but suddenly decided to show up.
I wish I could say I knew that. I honestly don't. I think it will be an absolutely fantastic series--if it happens--that very much could go either way.
Carlisle has said that he doesn't want to solidify which one of them is "the starter," even for the playoffs. I'd imagine you'll see him start with Damp in Game 1, and if it doesn't go well, Haywood may get the nod after that.
Well, I'll be damned, if you haven't seen me here all season, that must mean that I wasn't here, right?
If the Spurs get the Mavs, they should probably just forfeit. They can't match the talent, depth, coaching, poise, or toughness.
Then we are in a deep pile of dog then.
