Mavs haven't played a lot of BTB's so far....
I am impressed with the Mavs record...However, to bad best regular season record don't equal NBA rings huh?![]()
Mavs haven't played a lot of BTB's so far....
Anyway, don't wanna argue...From a Mavs fan perspective, do you like how Cuban has tuned it down so much? I think its def a plus for the team...What do you think?
wow, the three rings defense....![]()

get back to me when you wanna live in the present, although, you might be in a fetal position clinging to a box of kleenex come two months from now
loving it. not hearing anything about him is great. when it comes to the Mavericks, the only sound he needs to make is the sound of his pen on the checkbook.
Bet you never saw the rings thing coming did ya' ponky? They never pull that one out of their hat....
yes, he's much better this year, saying it through his t-shirts![]()
seriously, let's just hope he stays fairly quiet throughout the playoffs, i don't think it's good for the team to be so vocal about certain aspects of the game
That is funny! But, 3 rings are better then 0 right?
I totally agree with you. I guess we will really see come playoff time though...thats when it gets intense.
I love his enthusiasm, but he seriously needs to be up in a luxury box during the playoffs. If he's courtside and something goes wrong for the Mavs, there's no doubt he'll be back to his old ways and screaming at the refs.
the present is better than the past, always, unless you're a loser
Sucks to be the Sixers or Griz bears then...the truth hurts!
Manu had 32 on them earlier this year. I think we're okay there.![]()
at least the grizz don't have to suffer through another (3rd or 4th?) disappointing first round sweep![]()
For the Suns fans that claim the Suns defense is just as good as Spurs and Mavs, look how many games they have allowed over 100 points. I will save you the time. The Suns have allowed 39 games to opponents over 100. The Mavs have allowed 14. The Spurs have only allowed 9. The Rockets have allowed 21. You can look at FG% and all that, but bottom line is how many points you are giving up. Spurs and Mavs will not allow you to score your normal points. Now can you stop them from outscoring you?
???? Memo Okur to the Spurs would be a very bad thing for the Mavs
Jeez...are we ever going to get past the:
"Mavs fan: We kick ass in the regular season"
"Spurs fan: Yeah but we have three rings"
crap?
Mavs fan..."you" don't kick ass in the regular season and Spurs fan "you" don't have three rings.
Ugh...how long till the playoffs?![]()
Who the would we give up in that secenario?
If Cubes keeps it up I may have to change my alias. Guess that little speech by Dirk had its desired effect. Kudos to MC for cleaning up his act ... then again with the 70-win pace he's had little to about.![]()
1 BTB =/= 4 games in 5 nights, give the Spurs a little credit.
But... they're Mavs fans! It's not in their nature to give other teams credit!![]()
True. The record shows the Mavs had 4 B2Bs in November, 3 in December, 3 in Jan, 1 in Feb, 0 so far in March for a total of 11 YTD. 11-0 is darned impressive. Mavs have 3 more in Mar, 2 in Apr for a total of 16.
Of course, the Spurs in the same time had nearly half as many more B2Bs: 5 in Nov, 3 in Dec, 3 in Jan, 3 in Feb, 2 in March for a total of 16. I'll take 11-5 (right??) especially considering what an Achilles' heel this was for us last year. SA has 1 more each in March and April for a total of 18 B2Bs.
Of course, Spurs fans hope that the hard work early in the season (we have only 7 road games after Thursday night to the Mavs' 14) will pay off with a healthy, relatively rested team that will be able to catch a slightly tiring Mavs squad. A tall order to be sure but there is always hope, even though the Mavs are young and not as prone to getting tuckered out. We won't catch you in the regular season but we may be able to overhaul you in the playoffs. That's why they play the games.
I have 2 rings. one is my high school ring, and the other is some cheap crappy 10k gold ring that i bought when i was 7 that says "JASON" ... i should wear that one more often.
yes, yes i'm mostly just being an a-hole about the whole thing, but not in any serious kind of way. there is one point however that i completely disagree about, and that is the reference to "a slightly tiring Mavs squad." i am not sure why spurs fans think this is the case, because while your squad has certainly played less minutes per starter than the suns, this is hardly the case when matched up against the mavs. i've already posted the stats but i'll do it one more time.
Mavs big three (Dirk, JET, JHO) play an average of 35 min/game. Dirk's played 59 games, JHO a mere 50 and Terry 60.
Spurs top three minute-grabbers are Duncan (34.4 min) with 61 games, Parker (32.3 min) 58 games and soon-to-be 36 yr. old Bowen (31 min) 61 games.
Next up we have Stack with 24 min and only 49 games played, Harris with 25 min. and 59 games played and Dampier with 26 min and 59 games played.
Spurs have Manu with 56 games played at 28 min, Finley with 61 games and 21.3 min and Barry with 21.6 min and 59 games played. Keep in mind that Stack while older, has played 7 games less than Manu and Harris is so much younger than Barry/Finley and can take 3 extra min/game.
All I'm saying is, it's a wash because you have to consider how many games some of our guys like JHO, Stack and George have sat out, 42 games combined and spread out pretty evenly at 12, 13 and 17 respectively. The only Spur who plays a lot and has sat out a long period of time is Elson.
Also, if the Spurs are anywhere within striking distance of getting the second seed (and I think they will be, Suns are starting to tire a bit), I can see going for it, whereas the Mavs can probably chill in April.
