Do you really feel like it'll be a sweep?

Spurs in 7. I think this series will be a classic.

[LB7]

Look at each team's first round opponent. The Mav's made easy work of memphis. The starting five never broke a sweat. They have had a week off and no amount of shootarounds or practices compare to playing actual games. The Spurs were tested by the King's. They had their WTF moments and found their game in Game 5. They are slipping into the groove that won them the championship last year. The Mav's and Spurs play similar styles. It is going to come down to who executes the game plan better. One major differance between the Spurs and Mav's: The Spurs have a WAY Deeper bench! I look for the spurs in six!

Not starting any kind of trash-talking war here but what is it that makes you feel like the Spurs have a WAY deeper bench? Yes, it is deep but how is it so much deeper than what the Mavs have. It is had been said all along that the Mavs have one of the deepest in the league. Just a question.

Yes it has. The same thing has been said about the Spurs bench. IMO, the Mavs bench is younger and more athletic, the Spurs bench is more talented and experienced.

Our bench outplayed your bench in every head-to-head game this season except the first one when Harris scored 22. That will not happen in this series.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I really don't care who wins, I just want the series to go 7 with a few OT games sprinkled in.

[Shank]

Yeah, I can't wait for Beno Udrih to rip Dallas a new one.

Finley will make you regret buying him off. Book it. And, looking into my crystal ball, I see a lot of "Horry for 3.... YES!!" in the future.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I am sensing a Finley vanishing act in 2 games...

[Dunc]

Spurs in 6 or 7. Every game will be close, with a possible blowout. If Dallas had homecourt for game 1, I think the Mavs would kill the Spurs to start off (yeah yeah, best road record in the league) because of the fresh legs vs near b2b legs, but I think game 1 will also be close either way because of SA's homecourt edge.

Dampier>Rasho

Spurs in 7. Its gonna be epic.

[LB7]

Fair enough. I will take the more athletic bench, especially since they aren't just a bunch of inexperience rookies anymore. Harris has been a good weapon against the Spurs when healthy. KVH, while this isn't much of an argument, has been to the finals. No, I don't think he'll be a factor so don't think I'm saying that. Daniels has proven he can score. Stackhouse brings a toughness and, when he is on, can be dangerous. Dampier can be a good force if he is as aggressive as he was in the first round. Finley continuously choked in the playoffs while with us. I loved him but I don't know if I would count on some kind of breakout from him. Of course, you never know. Horry is always dangerous, no doubt. Brent Barry can get hot. Rasho, I don't see as a big threat. And NVE, well, I'll take Harris. Nick could get hot but I'd still take Harris. All in all, both deep benches. My question was how are the spurs SO MUCH deeper than the Mavs? No one really answered that, especially the one who said it.

Also, I don't see how the Spurs bench is necessarily more talented. Just my 2 cents

[lil'mo]

Harris>Van Exel
Daniels>Finley
Stackhouse>Brent Barry
Van Horn<Horry
Dampier>Rasho

[ObiwanGinobili]

True.

I don't know about the bench being deeper for the Spurs.
Horry>KVH That's about it!
Stack>Fin
Harris>NVE
Daniels=Barry
Damp>Rasho

Beno,Armstrong,Marks, Mbenga...Those guys won't play.
I like the Mav's bench a little better.

[boutons_]

Being greedy, I'd really like Spurs to take both Games1 and 2.

The Spurs might ignore their one night's rest and ambush the Mavs in Game1 like they did with the Kings.

But Game2, etc will be tougher, no more surprises, as both teams settle down and into the series.

4-2 sounds about right, best scenario:

2 - 0 @ATT

1 - 1 @AAA

W to close out 4-1 @ATT.

Or, an L @ATT as Mavs "sauver l'honneur", then...

W to close out @AAA, 4-2.

Going 7 games would be disappointing.

===============

I figure LeBron will get one W, but Pistons take the Cavs 4-1.

[mavsfan1000]

My prediction. Mavs win game 1, lose game 2, win game 3, win game 4, lose game 5, and win game 6.
Mavs win 4-2.

[NoMoneyDown]

Spurs will win in 5, maybe 6, games. They are a different beast come PO time. Dallas will fold as usual. Dallas sweeps a #22 seed Memphis squad, while SA beats in reality a #2/#3 seed Sacto squad in 6 games.

[DannyT]

this series mos def has potential to go 7 games ....alls i can tell you is that i am extremely excited about this battle for the west right here........

grab you juevos cause its gonna get ugly fellas

[DubMcDub]

My prediction. Mavs win game 1, lose game 2, win game 3, win game 4, lose game 5, and win game 6.
Mavs win 4-2.

This is my prediction as well.

[J.T.]

The only chance Mavs have to win any game is game 1. Prepare to be mauled, you have no ing clue.

Spurs in 5.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

My prediction. Mavs win game 1, lose game 2, win game 3, win game 4, lose game 5, and win game 6.
Mavs win 4-2.

ah yes......signatures in the making. please contribute daily.

[T-Pain]

Either way? SA sweeps Dallas, Dallas sweeps SA. Whatever team you're a fan of...Do you really think your team will sweep?

I know there's quite a few people here saying so-and-so team will sweep. I just can't tell if you're kidding around...being y-confident or if you honestly think that'll happen.

Just a question. Kinda curious as to what some of you people think.



I personally don't think it'll be a sweep either way. I think it's going to be a tough series and by far the most entertaining and competative second round series. (shouldn't have been a second round series, but whatever.)

no, there aint gonna be no sweep, thats crazy.
