I'm thinking of a number between 1-100. You (SA) have 5 guesses to get it right. I'll give another guy (Dallas) 95 guesses.
Those are your odds.
Yes please go on.

It's ironic that our odds to win the series are the same as your's to win the Finals!

These teams are very even. If the Mavs can win 3 straight then so can the Spurs. Get it done.
Hasn't Detroit (in the Billups-Hamilton-Prince-Sheed-Ben era) come back from 1-3 a couple times? It's not impossible. We have to take it one game at a time. The Mavs are playing great, the Spurs are playing great. The last 2 games could've gone either way, the Mavs just executed better during crunchtime. Refs have sucked ass the whole series both ways, it just looks like the Spurs get shafted cuz Dallas has got back into the last 2 games and won because of foul shots.
If the Spurs want to win, they must return to their original lineup. We are getting killed by layups and And-1s. We need shotblocking, rebounding and interior defense, going small pretty much throws that strategy to the wolves. One game at a time. I think Spurs will win game 5, and then game 6 on Friday will quite possibly be one of the greatest playoff battles in NBA history.
Uh, first of all, the Spurs did NOT outplay the Mavs in game 3. The Mavs had a double digit lead throughout pretty much the entire game. The Spurs just made it interesting at the VERY end. You dont make a game close at the end and claim you outplayed someone. By your logic, the Mavs outplayed the Spurs in game 4 because the Spurs had a good lead throughout up until the end of the game. Right?
Moron homer.
Durrr, outscoring the mavs 3 out of 4 quarters is pretty close to outplaying them. Though granted that 1st quarter they had their head up their ass
No, it's not impossible and becoming more possible in terms of the odds since the first round went to seven games. 3-1 used to mean you won. The Pistons did it once. They beat a 42-win Orlando Magic team with little playoff experience.
But what you have to realize is that the Dallas Mavericks also did it last season. They know what it's like to have homecourt for 2 of the final 3 games, and to win all 3. If Avery isn't reminding them of that, he's a moron.
That's the sign of an experienced, hungry team. Remember when the Spurs beat the Lakers? That's how the Mavs feel about the Spurs.
Agreed. The Spurs are playing the Mavericks game. They haven't controlled tempo. But to be honest, with exception to game 1 versus the Kings, have the Spurs controlled tempo much this postseason?
The Spurs can win this series. I just don't think it will serve the Spurs much if they do.
Wow, if we suck so bad you should have won both games at home by 20, right? That you coulda easily lost one or both should tell you that your opinions are far from truth.
It's called ownage dumbass.
Darrin, good post.
Popovich has been outcoached by Adelman and Johnson so far. We had no answer for Wells and finally just nutted up and won that Game 5 (notice we did not shut Wells down in that, we were just more aggressive and made the right moves down the stretch). And now Popovich is playing right into Johnson's hand. He's been adjusting to the Mavericks for the entire ing series. Pop, you have 3 championships and a COTY. You are better than this. Make the Mavs adjust to you.
I seriously hope he is saving some magic trump card for the next game, or has just been punking everyone with this small ball bull . But since the last two games have been so close, I don't really see him going big again.
You guys are champions, you know what it takes to win games, there is no disputing that. But the things I listed are real concerns, you may not agree with some, but for you to refute all of it is just stupid.
You're a troll.
If the Spurs come back and win game 5. thats all the confidence they need.
They had the Mavericks beat in 2 straight games on the road, only to lose it at the end.
Do like Doc Rivers said the Suns had to against the Lakers.
Come home, focus on the game at home, and win that.
Go on the road, refocus, leave it on the floor and try and win that.
You win that one? You have a tremendous amount of momentum and the Mavs are reeling.
Spurs CAN do it. Will they?? ehhh.................
Without a doubt
and your team is old and unathletic
The Spurs can win the series, but he Spurs will really be in trouble if they lose game 5.
First of all, in 3 out of the last 4 games, the Spurs outplayed the Mavs, plain and simple.
How do you figure that? The Mavs have held the lead throughout every game except for last night. Remember in game one the Spurs didn't take the lead until late, and the outcome was decided on a missed last shot by Stackhouse. Doesn't sound like the Spurs have outplayed anyone in any games to me, except late in game one, but whatever makes ya feel better skippy!
It's called ownage dumbass.
What?
The only possible edge the Spurs would have on the Mavs at this point is experience. But that typically would manifest itself as execution at the end of close games, and the Mavs have outexecuted the Spurs in the clutch.
Avery Johnson has done a good job of forcing the Spurs out of their comfort zone and neutralizing their experience advantage.
Jim has a point.The Spurs can win the series, but he Spurs will really be in trouble if they lose game 5.
