thank you.
Your team lost, chill out. I'm sure you'd be all "jiggly" if the Mavs would have won.
thank you.
The Dallas team from 'last playoff series went up big time in their series vs. Miami and then choked it. We won in part due to them choking tonight.
Not sure why you don't think we beat the Mavs of last year - they were chokes then, and they're chokes now.
I've got all the games on DVD, shall I send them to you so you can check your b.s.? There's a reason everyone was talking about little Devin Harris and how great he was during the Spurs series...and how he disappeared during the Heat series when he was unable to get to the basket. It's a joke to ever call Harris a jump shooting guy.
Not really. I have tix to the Nov. 24 game and if we had won tonight back in my mind I'd have the notion that we might not win on Nov. 24. These games go back and forth and I'd rather have a win in S.A. couple of weeks from now than at home at the beginning of the season. Anyway, I have to go watch the Nuggets try to win without headband-throwing Melo.
ok buhbye
Okay, so you're glad the Mavs lost and just not rubbing it in our faces. Thanks for clearing that up.
Good for you on the tickets.
Are you saying that Terry and Howard also didn't score a lot of points in the lane on the Spurs?
Or are you having another logicless argument with the voices in your head?
I think alot of people are forgetting Duncans luke warm play tonight... Dont expect Duncan to suck that bad with that many open shots in the future... If he was hitting those easy looks this would have been a different game entirely, damn near a blowout.
I would much rather be 1-0 than 0-1 !
From nba.com Hotzones, stats from last years conference semifinals:
Devin Harris: during the regular season against the entire NBA he made 2.4 baskets a game in the lane (which was 71% of all his baskets made). Against the Spurs those numbers were 4.5 (82% of all his FGM) in the regular season and 3.3 (74%) in the semifinals.
Jason Terry: 1.9 baskets/game in the paint against the NBA, or 29% of all his baskets. Against the Spurs he was 3.5 (58%) in the regular season and 2.5 (33%) in the playoffs.
Josh Howard: 3.6 (60%) against the NBA. Against the Spurs 5.3 (70%) in the regular season and 3.6 (61%) in the playoffs.
This doesn't even take into account the extra points off of FTs that the Mavs were getting by driving into the paint.

You lost cuz small ball is DEAD and there will always be a 4 and a 5 in the middle to stop you from raping us down the lane. We can send you baseline once again and now our lane will be tight like a virgin once again. Now go drink your Kool-Aid
Choke? you guys actually have a center now that challenged our layups in the end. its called defense. do you guys know anything about basketball?
That's what I just said
i think Spurs were more determined to beat the Mavs tonight. its a long season and im glad its finally here
Defense... The Spurs Defense made it difficult for Dallas in the 4th quarter. The Mavs never got an easy look at the basket in the end... Remember 1 down and 81 more to go... Well see yeah on the 24th Bump...
The Spurs won this game with basically no offensive iden y. No penetration by the guards, no breaks off turnovers or missed jumpshots, no rhythm of any sort from Duncan, yet every time the Mavs would start to do something the Spurs would just clamp down on them until they had the game under control again.
The rest of the league had better be praying for injuries to the Spurs.
^^ Exactly^^
From what I've been reading, I'm convinced that 82-0 is a strong possibility.
Leave it to a Mavericks fan not to recognize defense when he sees it.
Exactly.
I think it was a combination of good defense and some blown shots by Mavs in the fourth quarter. Here's the thing though....no one hits every open shot. If so, Duncan wouldn't have airballed or bricked the uncontested 18-footers he had. Missed shots are a part of the game, so to insist that the Mavs only lost because they "choked" is a joke. The Mavs lost because the Spurs played great D (and the Mavs STILL made some shots), the Mavs ill-advisedly played AJ over Harris (who has killed the Spurs) and the Spurs' guards were able to knock down shots.
The only negative is that we still have no answer for Josh Howard and judging by how well the high screen switching Tony on Howard worked for the Mavs, I suspect the Spurs will see that alot more when they meet the next time.
I have tickets to the game, too. Are we going to win a prize?!
Leave it to a Spurs fan to assume one game means a dominating championship season. The Knicks are 1-0, too. Chalk it up.
