Its what made the Spurs lose the series last year. Adapting to them.
I don't understand what the Mavericks are gonna do different, thats gonna all of a sudden win them 4 of the next 5.
If the Mavs play "big" now the series is over in 4.

Nellie's done this before with a low seed. 1991 playoffs to be exact. Limit the effectiveness of an opponent's interior defense by playing a 4 or 5 man who can play outside. At least then the opponent had a hall of fame big man.
What the does that mean?!
how is that?
We never played big against them. The new team that they traded for has never seen Dampier play his usual minutes and game.
The last time we got smashed by them he was out with a shoulder injury.
People are complain about this already, don't sink to a 8th seeders game, stick to your game. The style is how Nellie never made it the next level....make them shoot jumpers, and they are eventually going to go cold....this is exactly how we lost last night.
There are a few things that can be done differently:
1. Don't start Devean George at frickin' center. CENTER.
2. They did well with Diop on the game. He obviously helps with the rebounding and slows down the Layup Train to the basket. Play your centers.
3. Don't let the Warriors dictate the kind of game you're going to play that night. Yes, it's easier said than done, but the Warriors were tickled to see that the Mavs were going to adjust to them rather than vice-versa.
4. Dirk's vagina needs to shrink.
All in all, just play the game that helped get you 67 wins. It's been said a lot since the end of last night's game, but there's no reason why the Mavs should scrap their style to adjust to the Warriors.
How does it change the Spurs' defensive rotation? That's what it means. The Spurs don't have to change how they play at all against the Nuggets. Years of watching the Blazers must render one unable to understand the game.
Use a little more of our depth. Play Damp more, play croshere more, play barea more.....
sure they are spares, but they are fresh legs....exactly how we got to be number 1
So which big is going to chase Harrington around the perimeter?
if that happens we have officially waved the white flag.
Mavs fan now advocating the use of Barea and Croshere?
Ok you start Diop at center, but is Diop gonna go out to the perimiter to guard Harrington or stephen jackson?
dirk's vagina get smaller?
I say let him shoot lights out if he can. He's only 73-175 on the year. Sure he's 41% but that's probably flukes, left wide open etc.
To put it in perspective, Jason Terry took 162-370 this year with an average of 43%
Maybe this falls too far under "hedging your bets," but if I was avery, I would play with the same lineup that won them 62(?) games. That way, even if you do lose, no one is going to fault you for sticking with what works. To all of the sudden try a new lineup after 82 games is ridiculous, and is essentially starting from scratch. When the Mavs first did that, they opened 0-5. Too bad first round is only 4 games.
Stick with what worked, and if it doesn't still work, then at least go down with the lineup you believe in. If you change it and lose, everyone is going to fault the change, and the coach for making it. Regrets will fly around all off-season. Playoffs aren't the time to try something new.
I think.
Uh? Dampier sucks.

yeah, you know throw a good 4-8 minutes for each player....it helps out the others.....get some hard fouls in....should I go on?
Im telling you right now that you dont want to do that. Guy can make big shots
Not only have the Warriors forced the Mavs into defending them with a 'small ball' lineup, the Warriors are pretty good at defending the Mavs' small ball lineup or the Mavs' "big" lineup with Nowitzki at the 4. The Mavs' normal advantage against most teams with Dirk at the 4 doesn't work against the Warriors.
yeah, I have a much better time watching Diop swatting Duncan, but what can ya do....
avery played two bigs, I think for about two minutes in the second or 3rd quarters last night, they made a three, and then George came in for Diop
I think Mavs fan is more scared than they want to let on.
If they don't change something they will lose. Guaranteed. Maybe they can get Bowen to step on somebody's foot or something?
Let's see him do it then....just switch on him and get Dampier back to center....
Listen, this theory hasn't been tried out all season....that's what noone on this board is understanding...
so you don't know if it works, and we don't know if it works....but we might as well frickin try it
well i'm convinced, the Mavs are getting swept. I forgot what talentless wastes we have on our team, and there's no way we could possibly counter anything offered by the ultra-talent of the 42 win Warriors.

Duncan doesn't play for the Warriors stay on topic kiddo.
