Clippers @ Mavs GAME THREAD THE CLINCHER!!

[SpursDynasty]

Didnt Howard make the AS team? And you really dont think that teams arent trying to beat the Mavs? They are the hunted this year, hunter no more. Every team that plays the Mavs wants to beat them badly, they just cant. The Mavs are a great, great team this year, Im sorry you cant deal with it

Howard was selected as a replacement for an injured player. I said VOTED to the team. Seriously, WTF am I saying that is false in ANY of my posts.

Screw it, I am done with this smack talk and my points have been made. I won't be replying to any more BS posts.

Nice points you made. The Spurs are better than the Mavs because we had a guy voted to the AS game and the Mavs had one injury replacement for the AS game. Bang up job on you points

[Islymore]

I'm right there with you. He will not go on my ignore list as he's funny. Plus, even though he says ridiculous things...at least he isn't a prick (like some posters can be).

I agree with you both... i can't ignore the guy either.
He's funny... and does say some ridiculous things, but he's not the worst.
It's entertaining to me, makes me laugh...

The team selected originally, not the team after certain players were injured and picked by David Stern.

That makes Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. I can understand why technicalities are now being used as defenses, sometimes they're the last resort to true statements that people don't like.

So ing what? We had an extra AS voted in so that makes us better than the Mavs? Is that what you are trying to say?

[Findog]

This makes about as much sense as saying that the Spurs are scared of the Bucks and Cavs because they got their asses handed to them four times this year by these two teams. We lost two of those Warriors games with main guys out, lost the first game during our 0-4 start but if it the prospect of the Spurs not having to meet the mavs in the WCF makes you sleep better at night, continue dreaming about a Warriors trouncing of the Mavs in the first round.

Bobcats beat the Miami Sterns yesterday...but would you take them over the Sterns in a 7-game series? The Celtics and the Bobcats also beat the Spurs in the River City, but who would take them over San Antonio in the playoffs?

Golden State is better than their record because of injuries and a major mid-season trade, and they'd give us fits for sure because we can't outquick them and Nellie knows our personnel so well. But if you're a le team, you don't care who you play. If you execute the way you're supposed to, it doesn't matter who the opponent is or what they do.

Amen brother!!

All teams play poorly vs. the Mavs. It's a fact. They don't go out and own teams the way the Shaq/Kobe/Phil Lakers did. They're not in that league. Most teams that the Mavs beat, those teams beat themselves. How many wide open missed looks have you seen vs the Mavs? I've seen a lot. That is my reasoning behind not thinking the Mavs are the best team in the NBA. It's a psychological advantage they have, not a talent advantage over the league. Outside of Dirk, there are no brilliant players in Dallas. It's a damn fact. How many were *voted* by the league for the All-Star game? One. I didn't make that up, it happened on its own.

So quit your in.

So that is why the Mavs are good. Teams just play poorly against us. Damn! I thought we were actually a good team. I thought our defensive intensity and our deadly offense was why teams would struggle against us. I thought being well coached also helped but nope.

Nope, we've just been really lucky 63 out of the 76 games we've played thus far this year. I guess we were lucky to make the finals last year as well. The Heat were the only team that actually played well against us during the playoffs last year

[G-Money]

Seems like anyone can beat the mavs these days, Clippers by 15.

[clambake]

Winning is the only thing that can remove the "choker" tag.

Be afraid. If we don't win it all, the tag will live on.

[dallaskd]

The clippers really need this one. we better come to play. i hope we can close out and sit our starters and play pops and barea a little more.

[dallaskd]

Told ya clippers would play tough. Its gonna happen, but id like to clinch as soon as possible.

[pussyface]

anyone got an update on how this one's going?
im out of market

[ThomasGranger]

Mavs up 14 with about 5 to play. This is pretty much a done deal. Nice to see Dirk and Josh get some much needed playing time.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

MAVS WIN! MAVS WIN!!! MAVS WIN!!! I ING LOVE THESE GUYS. JOSH HOWARD IS MY ING BOY AS IS DIRK!! GOD I ING LOVE THIS TEAM AND NOW WE CLINCHED IT BABY!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LETS GO MAVS! LETS GO MAVS! LETS GO MAVS!!! THE ROAD TO THE FRANCHISES FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP IS GOING TO BE ING AMAZING!! GOD IM EXCITED!!!!

[mabber]

Mavs were really lucky again as the Clippers (just like in the other 63 games the Mavs won) played poorly and missed lots of wide open shots. I think SpursDynasty might be on to something.

[Fillmoe]

Cmon Gsw Lets Go!!!!!!!!!!

[Extra Stout]

There should be a special thread where only SpursDynasty/jeffdrums22 and Dirk Nowitzki can post. That would be awesome. By the end of that thread, we all would finally understand the rationale for invading Iraq.

Thanks for proving once again that you're a delusional ing moron...

No, he's just a troll trying to elicit a response. See Childs, Chris.

[LEONARD]

OK, I'll play...

You said Dwight Howard is a "fluke player" actually...to be exact: "fluke loss on a fluke dunk by a fluke player"

You said Josh Howard and Jason Terry were "unheard of" players prior to the Spurs series last year: "Just ask the unheard of players before the Spurs series such as Josh Howard and Jason Terry. Who really even knew who those guys were before the Spurs series last year?"

You say that Dirk only shoots jumpshots...

You also said that "Matt Bonner has more basketball moves than Dirk"...

You've said many times that GS is a better team than Dallas. GS has gotten a few bounces and had their way over the past 6 games with the Mavs, but they would NOT with a 7 game series.

You've said that the Mavs can't beat the Spurs in a 7 game series. But why can't they? To flat out say they CAN'T is ridiculous. The series is a coin flip...

You've said over and over that the Mavs aren't that good, it's just that teams don't play well against them...
