Can't We All Just Get Along?... Giving Up Well Deserved Props

[baseline bum]

I hope they flame out of the playoffs twice as badly as last year this time around.

[td4mvp21]

I hate the Mavericks with a passion, yet I respect them a lot. Reluctantly.

[aaronstampler]

Howard? He singlehandedly would solve most of the Spurs' problems.

I never said he can't play, I just said I don't like him.

[xamila rey]

....

Cuban is quite possibly the best owner in the NBA. Ouch... damn it hurt to say that.

I also think Avery Johnson deserves coach of the year honors again this year. Any Mavericks fans miss Don Nelson? Okay, you can stop laughing now... that wasn't a serious question.

i want what u had.
it has to be certainly very strong...hehehehe

[slayermin]

Imagine what Pop and RC could do with a $100 million payroll. It would be unfair.

At this point in my life as a fan, I have reached the point where I don't really hate opposing teams - I would just rather see the Spurs win.

I don't like the personality of specific players, and as such I root against them, but the Mavericks don't have any of those players. I do find Jason Terry annoying, but I don't dislike him. Stackhouse bothers me a little.

But that's a of a team they've got up in Dallas, and if the Spurs could go through them and get #4, it would be the best ring of them all for my tastes.

Stack bothers me A LOT, and I'm a huge Mavs fan.


I respect the out of the Spurs and am terrified yet excited for that matchup in the playoffs.

[Dalhoop]

A lot of backhanded complements going on ... You know, these Spurs fans are starting to sound like Cuban "I like the way Wade shoots freethrows". It really is funny.

My turn.

I wish the Mavs would be like the Spurs in the following ways -

1) I think the Mavs would have been a better team, and never would have suffered through the early 90's, if they had the Spurs luck with the lotto balls. We lost all those games and never got the #1 Pick .... The Spurs crap a season (Barely) and land Duncan. Thats some great luck

2) I think that the Mavs would have been a better team if they are ever able to get planiular fa is (?Spelling?). I mean gezzz, a man gets that and his numbers jump into the stratoshere. Another example of the Mavs bad luck

3) I think that the Mavs would be a better if they learned from the Spurs example. You see, Dallas has its own polluted river. You see, our parade route didn't include the river .... We should add it to the route

Yeah..we could sign people like Ron Artest and really mess up the chemistry. I not so sure money would make as much of a difference as you think. The Spurs usually bring in players of good character, and to some of them money isn't everything so it seems. Besides with salary cap you can only spend do much.

I love the Mavs but I can't stand Stack.

Not so much his behavior, I just can't stand his game. As great as he can be sometimes, when his brain turns into "i'm the superstar" mode this team is ed. He'll shoot us out of at least one or two games in the playoffs that would should have won otherwise.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i like a lot of you mavs fans


and yes, howard would solve all our of holes this season

[adrienne]

What is so funny to me is that...outside of the trolls...Mavs fans are actually fine with and respect the Spurs (generally). I'm not quite sure why Spurs fans all think someone on the Mavs slept with their girlfriend and ran over their dog.

Actually, they think Mavs fans slept with their dog and ran over their girlfriends.

No thank you.

I said "Spurs" and "Mavs", not "Spurs fans" and "Mavs fans".

I'll give them their props,
The Mavs are a great regular season team this year,
just like the Pistons 64 ,Spurs 63, mavs 60, Suns 54, Heat 52 last year;
like the Suns 62, Spurs 59, Heat 58 and mavs 58 in '05;
the Pacers 61, Wolves 58, Spurs 57, Lakers 56, Kings 55, Pistons 54, mavs 52 in '04;
the Spurs 60, mavs 60, Kings 59 in '03;
the Kings 61, Spurs 58, Lakers 58, mavs 57 in '02;
the Spurs 58, Lakers 56, 76'ers 56 in '01
of course the lakers won 67 in '00 and won the 'ship,and the spurs won in '03, so maybe the mavs have a chance.

My dream scenarios for this playoffs, second option is only if first option in not destined to happen:

First option: Spurs win the Championship

Second option: I hope the Mavs win the first 15 games of the playoffs, only to go on and lose the last four.
