that's good news for us if adrian griffin is the mavs best 1v1 defender. i for one thought it would have been josh howard.
That's ok. Let Avery have his moment in the sun. His rain's comin' soon 'nuff.

yeah dallas could totally have a better record than detroit if they had adrian griffin all year instead of christie. we could have been looking at 47-0!
Yeah, imagine what the Spurs record could be if Manu's ankle wouldn't have been injured and Duncan wasn't having foot issues? Holy Crap!
Duh.
How is that good for you? It relieves Josh Howard of having to guard the other teams best player and he can focus more on scoring which he is quite good at.
Well they are 20-2 with Griffin in the starting lineup I believe. You're not that far off.
Talk about a homer.Well they are 20-2 with Griffin in the starting lineup I believe. You're not that far off.
Well you have never been to the finals right? nuff said. Don't talk smack when you are the only Texas team never to win a championship.keep telling yourself that while the mavs prove what they are made of this year.
.......and won't get there as long as Duncan is a Spur
A spurs fan who knows his . When the mavs beat the spurs than will people give them the respect? It's going to happen.
yeah dude, adrian griffin for DPOY!!
Watch the games and you would learn what a defensive force he is. Rashard Lewis went 1-11 the other night and he was the reason. He is very similar to Ron Artest on the defensive end. He also doesn't demand the ball and isn't psychotic like Artest is either. He's not Bruce Bowen but he is very good.
Any reasonable basketball knows how good the Mavs are. In fact, there are a lot of us that don't buy into all the negative TNT commentary about the Mavs.
In fact, I'm on record (in this forum no less) of stating how this Mavs team plays DEFENSE first, focuses on rebounding and pressures the ball in ways they have not in the past. All a tribute to Avery Johnson.
We heard all the bull from Mavs fans about how "we don't give the Mavs any respect", how "it's the Mavs time to win the West" and "how the Spurs are going down this year".
That said, if you think we're going to allow outsiders to come in here and talk smack about our boys and not talk some smack back in return - THINK AGAIN. This is the SpursTalk forum. We're the DEFENDING NBA CHAMPIONS. There's no reason for us to sit still and not talk a lil' . As fans, we've earned that right. Three les in seven years gives us that right. If Spurs fans can't do that, we may as well shut this forum down.
What the Mavs are doing this year is indeed impressive and they are to be respected and taken very seriously. Don't think the Spurs and Pop are taking them lightly. However it's the REGULAR SEASON. Real men "step up" in the playoffs. In fact, it will be a "delicious matchup" if and when we draw them in the second round of the playoffs.
The Mavs and their fans know they MUST get over the 800 lb gorilla that is the Spurs, in order consider themselves contenders instead of pretenders.
Finally, if by some miracle, the Mavs do somehow upset us in the playoffs (aint happenin'), then we will all have to eat a "cold plate of crow".
In the meantime, we'll keep talking smack. Besides, the smack talk makes the forum fun!
Why is it so hard to believe that the mavs can beat the spurs? Just take a look of the mavericks record since they got rid of Christie. It has been all positives since. The mavs even had some injury problems. You saying it would be a "miracle" to beat the spurs. The last 35 games of the regular season will decide if the mavs are for real and take the number one spot. If they do that than there is a very good chance they beat the spurs.
Sure, this is a Spurs forum. And, Spurs fans absolutely should talk a little smack. Their team IS the defending champs. And, the Spurs certainly should be considered one of the favorites to win it all again this year.
As for being a "fan" and "earning" the right to talk smack ... I'm not so sure any fan of any team has "earned" the right to do anything. Fans don't play games. Fans don't make personnel decisions. Fans don't coach. Fans don't do but cheer on their team. Fans have the right to cheer on their team and enjoy when they win. Fans don't "earn" the right to do anything else.
Any fan of any team can talk a lil . I don't know how fans of a championship team "earn" the right to talk smack more than a fan of another team though. What did you as a fan do to "earn" that right? Buy tickets? Purchase a jersey? Then go buy an album by grammy award winning Mariah Carey, and you'll have "earned" the right to talk to Britney Spears fans.
What the is this whole notion of "fans earning" the right to talk ? That sounds so silly to me. You have earned the right to sound silly.
JamStone you make too much sense. However, go to any arena where fans pay their money to cheer and just watch the smack begin.
The worst fans to me though, are the ignorantly arrogant ones. Example: After setting a modern era defensive record for lowest Opp. FG% (.402) during the season, losing only twice the entire playoffs, and after winning an NBA championship, Sean Elliott is leaving Madison Square Garden and a fan yells out to Sean, "you still ain't s***!"
Solid D,
I know what you're saying. I just thought what SenorSpur wrote sounded really funny. Note, I didn't say Spurs fans should not talk . By all means, they should. I just can't get over a fan thinking they've "EARNED" it more so than any other fan of another team, just because their team has won championships. I'm still kind of laughing at that whole notion of earning the right to talk .
it said cowboy was the last to reply WTF!!
Lmao 6 posts skipped. Hmmmmm only click Reply once please!
Those six posts can be summed up in one word and I think we all know what that word is.
Since I wasn't talkin' to you, you've earned the right to Kiss my ass!
what i understand the mavs are goin to choke in the playoffs
Another poster who thinks they can predict the future. Just wait and see what happens.
Chill for a moment. The tiebreakers haven't been entered yet and what comes first in the alphabet:I'm looking at nba.com in the standings and they have the conference seedings by the team name. They have Dallas 1st and us 4th. How does that work? We are both 37-10 and we have split the season series so far 1-1.
This smacks of fraud and conspiracy.
D
or
S?
Wow. How did you settle arguments with the Mavericks in 1988?
