Who will blink first, Suns or Mavs?

Ponky and SCLakeshow:

We played the Rockets with Yao and Tracy earlier in the year and beat them. What is your excuse for getting blown out by the Rockets with both Yao and Tracy playing. And a funny stat against both of your teams is that Tracy only scored eight points against both of your teams but both of your teams were blown out (though Mavs were blown out by thirty-one points). So, I think it is safe to say that the Suns were not excited about playing the Rockets without both of their best players. Not a good habit that I would endorse but it would explain them having to fight harder than usual against the Rockets in that game. Ponky, when the Rockets played you last, Tracy basically took most of the shots thus alienating most of his team and making them bystanders and eventually he wore out ( much like Kobe has done in the past), yet you only beat them by thirteen points, so no great accomplishment. So, your point makes no sense. By the way, I am no rookie to the game of basket either.

If you wanna talk about beating the elite teams. You have to actually beat the elite teams first.

Truth hurts.

^^Guess the truth hurts when the Lakers could not even beat a depleted Suns team in the playoffs last year.

The Lakers were a 7 seed and still got within a rebound against you guys. The fact that Kwame was looking like Wilt in that series is something to about.

Rest of January -

Suns:

Portland (19-21)
Minnesota (20-17)
@Washington (22-16)
@New York (17-23)
@Milwaukee (17-21)
@Cleveland (23-15)
@Minnesota (20-17)

Mavs:

@Miami (18-20)
@Orlando (22-17)
@Chicago (23-17)
Sacramento (14-22)
Seattle (15-25)
@Memphis (10-30)

Mavs have it easier but not in the beginning. Suns have 2 back-to-backs but mostly playing against Eastern conference teams. Washington was the last team to beat the Suns not named Dallas.

I'll say the Mavs probably slip up @Orlando or @Chicago so they will be first. If they slip up sunday there are going to be alot of Mav fans laying in bathtubs with wrists slit....

Sunday is our day of relief, if you can get relief from the debacle of the Finals.

If you call Kwame's stats comparable to Wilt then you are just plain clueless. Did you just happen to forget that two very important frontline players were out for the Suns? Such as Amare, who would have owned Kwame in that series offensively and Kurt Thomas would have done wonders against Kwame on the defensive end. We had to play 6' 8" Diaw against Kwame and we still beat the Lakers. Don't use the excuse that we had Tim Thomas last year, he is not known to be a defensive specialist at all. I am not saying your team is not that good this year, actually they look a lot better than last year but we are also a lot better this year with Amare and hopefully Kurt coming back in time for the playoffs.

U2, I would not call Miami that great of threat to the Mavs right now. They are not even above .500 at this time. You will be able to beat them.

Well... we should be able to beat any team. But it doesn't always happen that way as I'm sure you are aware.

If it does happen.... I'm staying away from d-m.com for awhile thats for sure. (okay, that's probably a lie...)

I don't think it will happen either though. I am certain the fans aren't the only one's wanting some semblance of "revenge". Although, given that Shaq isn't going to play a win won't mean as much.... not in the heart of this Mav fan anyway.

But any day my team beats Antoine Cancer's team is a good day indeed.

It was a joke.

But he did kill you guys. That's also when Mihm went down for us so we were also weak in the paint. As for Amare owning Kwame I'm not so sure about that. He will get his, but he won't be owning Kwame. His specialty is defense. Don't forget about Lamar. You guys still have no answer for him. And with Bynum one year better and much improved I see him being very effective against you guys. The Suns are a very good team, but they have still to prove it. I think the jury is still out on them till they start playing the top teams in the West.

[Nashfan]

^^ I gave your team their props in post #32 but that is all I will give you.

[Nashfan]

Oh, by the way I don't think Kwame killed us last year, it was more like Odom who gave us trouble.

It was a dual-headed monster.

^^No, not really, but you go on having those dreams.

Odom kicked our ass in last year's playoffs.

Kwame Brown, however, did not.

How quickly we forget.

[Nashfan]

^^What? Just how bad Kwame is and cannot catch the ball!

The point is not that Kwame is gonna take it to you guys. The point is that you can't defend the paint. Until you prove you can, you're still considered pretenders.

[Nashfan]

^^Like your team defended the paint so well last night and got murdered on the boards? Guess your team is a pretender then?

Without Odom and Kwame we will get killed on the glass. But we're not the ones starting threads about how great our team is.

[Nashfan]

^^Right, have you ever been to the site ClubLakers.com? From some of the threads on there you would have thought they had won the championship already! I know a Suns fan started this thread but I think his intention was to see which team would lose first since they both only have eight losses. Not sure, you will have to ask him. I think our team is very good but has faults like all teams do. All of us won't know who is better until the playoffs start and then the real games begin.

Ponky,

Cat got your tongue?

[Nashfan]

Ponky;

You must be doing a lot of research right now I guess. I am going to bed. Talk at you some other time.
