"overeact not to loss to GS"
it is impossible to overreact to biggest upset in NBA history

Whatever. Throw out the W-L records...Davis and Richardson missed 50 games to injury, and they got a major talent infusion with the Pacers trade. You think they finish 42-40 if that roster is healthy and together all year long?? How long do we have to keep putting the Warriors down as a crappy .500 team? They went 16-5 with their whole team healthy and together.
It was akin to a second-round matchup, not a 1 vs 8. Dallas went pedal to the metal all year long against half a league tanking, their efficiency rankings and point differential project them out to 60 wins, not 67. It's an upset but not a huge one for a 53-win team to beat a 60-win team.
Warriors got their asses kicked by young Utah team.
BIGGEST UPSET IN NBA HISTORY. that is a fact.
Nugget scare me with their potential, but they play no defense AT ALL, and I really do hope they trade away Camby. Great interior defenders are so valuable in this League, and I can't believe Denver is stupid enough to part with him. Why?
Against San Antonio, Terry gives you fits with his outside shooting and gives up no size to Parker. Harris can get to the rim against an otherwise great defensive team. Against the Warriors, they give up so much size and strength to Davis and Richarson.Warriors got their asses kicked by young Utah team.
The Warriors play smallball, Utah has something Dallas doesn't (big, muscular guard in Williams to cancel out B-Diddy) and a traditional, back to the basket scorer in Boozer. That's how you beat smallball. Being "young" doesn't mean they're not good. My 87 year old grandfather with Alzheimers has experience, so what is your point about youth? Did you watch the GS-Utah series? I did. There was one blowout in that series, it belonged to GS. The other four games went down to the wire.
No, it's an opinion based on the W-L records, and not a particularly well-informed opinion when you look at the talent on the two rosters.BIGGEST UPSET IN NBA HISTORY. that is a fact.
I ask you again: do you think GS finishes 42-40 if Davis and Richardson don't miss 50 games and that trade took place in training camp instead of February? Stop acting like they were a typical 8 seed, they weren't.

Can you answer the ?: How do you think GS does if their starting backcourt isn't out 50 games? Or if they make that trade in November? Can you answer that ? or is "UR TEAM SUCKZ AZZ" smacktalk the best you can do?go to www.google.com

I did not say UR TEAM SUCKS ASS. Mavs are good, probably #2 in the league.
They just choked once again and resulted in BIGGEST UPSET IN NBA HISTORY.
If you can't accept that you are one delusional homer
The Jazz and Spurs were the only teams that could beat GS. They both had low post prescence which is the key to beating GS. Dallas is fatally flawed in that if they face a super fast team, they can't post them up.
Biggest upset in NBA History based on disparity in W-L records, you're right. Biggest upset in NBA History based on disparity in talent? Not even close.
Good points. History, though, only looks at the W-L records. Fair or not, that is what will be remembered from that series.Biggest upset in NBA History based on disparity in W-L records, you're right. Biggest upset in NBA History based on disparity in talent? Not even close.
So is losing 4 in a row in the finals, after going 2-0, the biggest upset in NBA history?
I don't know, you tell me. Are the Mavs the only team to cough up a 2-0 lead?So is losing 4 in a row in the finals, after going 2-0, the biggest upset in NBA history?

In the finals?
I don't know. You tell me.
Damn, fellas. Stop walking into those. Stick with the tried and true.
4 > 0.
Well, Avery always wanted us to be more Spur-like. Guess we went too far.
suns beat golden state, pistons too, if i recall. , everyone did but the mavs. it's not like they went undefeated after the trade.
I never said they would be undefeated after the trade. They actually beat both the suns and pistons after the trade.
It was an upset but not the greatest of all time based on talent. GS beat the crap out of the Pistons in Detroit, they beat Phoenix, Utah, Dallas. They went 16-5 down the stretch with everybody healthy. Only point is that the talent level of the two teams made it more like a second-round matchup, not a 1 vs 8 series.
actually, even the argument that the warriors were not a true 8th seed doesn't help matters. it just means the mavs would have likely lost in a second-round matchup. still shouldn't have happened.
If you say it enough times, you will start to believe it's true.
which makes one wonder how much of a problem dallas would pose to san antonio. if the talent level of the mavs was on par or only a little more than gs, that's not enough to beat the spurs.
Yeah, I agree if they had met in a later round GS would still have won, but that's not my argument, which is that it's a minor upset, not a major one.
