The Spurs are just beating a team they're supposed to beat

This thread is not bull ting. The Spurs really were the favorites to win the series. Best teams win 7-game series. If the Mavs were supposed to win, they would make their shots. But they're not making their shots. The Spurs are making their shots because are they are supposed to and expected to win. If the Mavs were the favorites, why aren't they making shots?

Nothing personal against Dallas or Mav fans here. No trash talking. The Spurs are just making their shots and doing what they're supposed to do against a sub-par Dallas team. No big surprises.

Going into the playoffs, people said the Lakers would wake up and run away with the West. The Mavs were the clear #2 and everyone else was a big pile of even teams with a bunch of holes.

OKC was too young, Spurs too old and wrong fitting parts, Denver nad Jazz's problems were well known, Blazers too young and Roy injured, Suns were still the Suns...

Mavs had made the big trade that made them the only threat to the Lakers. They ran off 34 wins in a row after the trade. This was the most talent Dirk has ever had. And now suddenly they are just another team with holes?

The West is tough. Anyone is capable of beating anyone right now. But only one team will come out. I don't think there's a team any of the others is supposed to beat.

so what you're saying is, since dallas isn't the favorites, they're really just missing the shots they're supposed to miss, vis-a-vis, spurs are simply making the shots they're supposed to make. got it.

This makes absolutely no sense. You should think before you post. Who favored the Spurs to win the series? 7 out of 10 analysts at ESPN picked the mavs to win the series. If your talking about here, well, that's a bit unfair seeing how this is a SPURS forum. Of course the majority are going to pick the Spurs. I can't think of too many people who expected the Spurs to win the series.

The Mavs have just as much talent as the Spurs. The only difference is the Spurs are putting that talent to better use.

What the does making shots have to do with winning expectations. Analysts make their picks prior to game 1 of the series. They can't predict who's going to make shots and who's going to draw blanks. If we follow your theory, then OKC would have been favored to beat the Lakers because their shooting at a higher percentage through the first 4 games.

The Spurs beat the Mavs by a total of 7 points in games 3 and 4. Don' think the Mavs can't turn this series around. The Mavs are playing two of the final three at home. The series is far from over.

To say the spurs are favored to win because they are making shots and the Mavs aren't is bull.

Wait...

Does that mean whatever team wins ANY series was the REAL favorite? There is no such thing as an upset?
