E.J. sums up Suns vs. Mavs

[da_suns_fan__]

DAMMNIT, and here I thought he actually went and sought Magic and Larry's actual opinions on the Suns over the Mavs! Thanks for making me wait, eejit!

That reaction just made my day.

I thought you said you had better things to do than read it Ponky?

Hey..people like Bill Simmons and Eddie Johnson are just trying to point out how special this Suns team is.

This week during the free league pass, you all should take the time to seriously appreciate them........

eh, after all the hoople i skimmed it for about 30 secs, found the words MAGIC and BIRD, read that part very carefully, laughed again, posted. no way am i going to read all of the piece, don't have time, i have to save that for smack talking. i did however read bill simmons' piece which was hilarious, comparing them to the greatest teams, hahahahahahaha

reaction? you should really be disappointed that johnson made all these references to the best and then failed to connect them in any concrete way other than by isolated, vague references. if he had done that then i'd certainly give credit where it's due. the fact remains that you haven't managed to accomplish much in the last three years, keep trying and if you do something, i'll certainly applaud you guys. personally, i have nothing against the suns but all of the suns posters on here with a couple of exceptions (Amare32) sound insecure as , like you need the attention

mavs/suns fans will ignore all logical explanations pointed out and argue the easier points

EJs middle name should start with n..... then he would have the sickest initials.... E.N.J!

you should forget about the kings and be suns fans because

1. you really need some attention
2. you could be a fan of a winning team
3. their guys like to take out lakers

This is quite possibly, from a journalistic standpoint, one of the worst written articles.

Unbiased? Sure if you like Fox News. Homeristic? 100%

Sure I'm a Mavs Fan, but I'm no Homer. I'm willing to admit faults and weakness and recognize other good teams.

But this article? this is crap....

Why does he keep relating the style of play back to the 70s and 80s. As the great SpaceBalls movie put it, "we are in now time...what we are watching on the tv, is happening all right now."

And since when did the Mavs have NO OFFENSE? Does this guy even watch the games? He says the big 3 are only howard, dirk, and terry. Hmm...apparently the names george, stackhouse and devin harris mean nothing.

Do we have strong centers? No, well in essence we do. They just get too close to player and end up fouling him, and with a player like amare, fouls WILL be a problem.

The problem with the suns is potential injury. If one important card gets injured, the whole house has a possibility of coming down. Nash's back is a problem, he has to sit out almost 2 quarters when the back pain is at its worst....and lets not bring up playoff games where he is forced to play HEAVY minutes.

I can go on forever, but real ballas and fans know the truth. These are both great teams, but to make these type of accusations is just disgusting......

Spurs vs Rockets Jan 24th: Lets GO McGrady! Sorry spurs fans

ponky i liked you better when you were my groupie..............

[mavs>spurs2]

Suns fan feels like his team has something to prove after the mavs have taken 6 out of the past 8. It's ok to be a little insecure after not only losing to the mavs in the playoffs but also losing both games this season.

your groupie?


ur funny at times but u sound bitter lately and just diss everything and anything

[Budkin]

The Mavs would dismantle the Suns in a seven game series this year, even with Amare playing. The Spurs are the only team that even has a slight hope of defeating them, and only if they can shore up their weaknesses via trade.

[Shank]

The Suns roll through teams during the regular season because their opponents can't fully analyze what it is they're doing and can't gameplan around it. In a playoff series, they can (and have been) picked apart, slowed down and beaten.

Not according to Eddie Johnson.

[u2sarajevo]

The key stats this guy is pointing to in this article are these:

1. The Suns are 33-0 when outscoring their opponents.
2. The Mavs are 0-8 when outscored by their opponents.

haha. Mary on dallas-mavs.com broke this article down. And she did a good job of it too.

[mFFL03]

I was going to break down the schedule of the Suns and show all the poor teams, but I'll read Mary's article instead.

As she always does....

I don't know why we are giving this guy much pub.... he's the Suns color commentator.... you wouldn't expect him to write an article exclaiming that the Mavs were better would you?

[baseline bum]

This season is looking a lot like 2000 with Portland and LA. Both teams were on ridiculous paces for most of the season, neck and neck, and you never really knew who was better, until March or so.

It's not an article. It's just a poster on another board who made some good points to counter this article by saying things like this:

Am I reading this incorrectly?

The Suns are 5-1 when both teams score under 100.

The Mavs are 5-6 when teams score more than 100 points against them.

Okay. What is the Mavs record when both teams score under 100? Why is he comparing two completely different stats?

I honestly didn't notice that until she said it.

[Bookit]

Here is the scariest stat of all for you defensive gurus... When the Suns play in a game when both teams are below 100, they are 5-1. That loss came against Dallas on a buzzer beater by Dirk Nowitzki. The Mavs, on the other hand, are 5-6 when teams score over 100 points against them.

I like this part. As if it doesn't count as a loss if someone hits a buzzer beater against you. Uh, I guess he forgot that the Suns beat the Bulls on a buzzer beater too. But that doesn't count. Hmm. And the Mavs are 5-6 when the other team scores 100 on them? Really? Well the Mavs are 35-4 over their last 39 games so I guess not many teams score over 100 on them. Idiot.

[u2sarajevo]

The thing that really kills me is, as mary later pointed out, the Suns loss he speaks of in the 5-1 stat the final score was 101-99 Dallas. So the Suns are 5-0 when both score less than 100, not 5-1.

Yay Suns!!!!

So will Dirk be allowed to cheat as much as Shaq was in that series?

2. The Mavs are 0-8 when outscored by their opponents.

That was good.
