A corpse talking smack. I like it.
i'm being perfectly honest as a hardcore mavs fan, it's not. i invested way too much energy in going to every single mavs/spurs game last season during the second round as well as all the home games of the first and third rounds and one game in the final. when we started losing to the heat, after the second game i have never felt worse about rooting for a team than i did then. i haven't invested anything in this year's playoffs, haven't had time to other than a week's worth of games...and while i enjoyed the regular season and talked smack about the warriors, i knew they would be trouble and that the playoffs were a different matter. i talk smack as a crazy blind fan, i breakdown games with a level head. i'm bummed but it's not anything like last year.

you should, familiarity is comforting
For fans like Ponky...I feel for ya.
For dumbasses like Amarelooms....sucks to be you.
thanks, i can't even imagine what amarelooms is talking about right now, that dude never lets it rest!
i thought he was rooting for the spurs in the next round? what's the deal? i think i'm rooting for the spurs, we must put an end to this small ball nonsense, even my bf is talking about getting a whole bunch of shooters back on the team, wtf?!?!?!?!?
Truthfully, as a fan I believe you. The longer the playoffs go on the more is invested emotionally. But Cuban? He has to know that f1) his team just lost him a bundle in playoff revenue to offset expenses , 2) that's not the message the owner of a team should be saying, and 3) the psyche of this team going forward has been damaged, maybe beyond repair.
that's putting it mildly..
lol, c'mon it's cuban, he knows it, he's just fronting...i agree with you except for the last part...i mean look at finley who shot 1-17 in an elimination against the spurs back in 2001, back when he was THE man in dallas...he rebounded just fine!!!
yeah, so before anyone jump's on my ass, i was mostly kidding with that finley comment...as for the team's psyche, stack and jho will be fine, they played well and dirk will be alright once the f.o. realizes that you can't mold someone into such a role or you'll him up
he's still in shock.
Um. Howard was the Mavs best player throughout the series, chief. He was the only one (besides the streaky shooting of Stack) that kept this team from getting historically swept. Howard is a beast, and I'd love to have him on the Spurs.
Ponk, let me tell you. As an old time Spurs fan, I was sad when Rod Strickland threw that no look pass against the Blazers in 1990, but at least I look forward to improvement in the next year. When the Spurs got ousted by the run TMC Warriors the next year, I was sadder. Cuban knows this had to hurt more.
Actually, what's disappointing is that Tim Thomas sparked the clutchest playoff game of Dirk's career and turned the entire series. By saying we were "so sure that we would beat the Mavs," you're telling me that the guy who has gone 2-13 in an important game on the road and routinely put up 0'fers in the 4th quarter of the Finals goes off for his only 50 point playoff game ever in a game the Suns were leading and I'm supposed to be like, "yeah, the Mavs were so much more dominant"?
If you're going to try and claim that Dirk and the Mavs didn't benefit from mental breakdowns by two players (Ginobili and Thomas) to get into the Finals last year, then you're crazy. It's not just the loss of Amare, but that Suns team last year definitely could have beaten the Mavs... but they did decide to waste a lot of energy on the two LA teams.
He's as non clutch as Dirk. Kori already pointed it out: he did not have a SINGLE made field goal in the last 5 minutes of any of the 6 games against the Warriors.
Some all-star. Looks like he fired blanks with his GF too so she had another guy's kid.
This was 10x easier to handle than the finals...
I seriously just laughed and turned off the TV and went to bed last night... *shrug*
Barkley also picked the Mavs...before the series...and in 5 games after game 2...
Wow, not bad actually...
cuban is a rich dumb .
unless he trades dirk for garnett.
id rather lose in the finals, at least then you could say you went.
I don't think anything can be worse than the way they lost last year, which I still do not understand, even after seeing their tank job this playoff... Miami really was/is that bad. However, this is now the benchmark for choking. This is the series everyone will point to whenver the subject of NBA flameouts comes up. Dallas is to the NBA as the Houston Oilers were to the NFL.
LMAO, ok RM, keep talking ....see you next week at that fishing hole, don't be late.
The Fishing Hole Is The Place To Be This Summer Ain't It.
Or should I say, This Spring.
That's because people are dumbasses and only casual observers of basketball. The media is in it solely for ratings and will play the 1-8 seed thing until it's dead. Dirk's no-show is a huge story and I agree that it should be dissected and bashed for awhile until nobody cares, but the Mavs' loss itself shouldn't be as surprising as some are making it out to be. Anyone who follows the NBA, has followed Davis' career, who knows how well the Warriors have played when all their players are healthy, and who knows how much the Warriors have been the only team to really rankle the Mavs these last two years, should know better but they'd rather follow the hype about the loss because it's more fun to talk smack, that's part of the reason people watch sports, to talk smack and chest thump.
