Unfortunately, I don't see the Mavs doing anything other than stretching the Lakers to 6 games in a series. The Lakers have a 29 year ownage over our franchise.
I would be dishonest if I didn't agree since I'm a Lakerfan.
But at the same time, the Mavs have the talent to match the Lakers, they have just lacked the cajones to play 4 quarters. Laker/Mavs games have been very,very close in the last couple of years.
If the Mavs can play 4 quarters in a Lakers series, they have the best chance of any team to beat the Lakers.
Waddup Rogue. Still taking ESL classes?
You actually think the Mavs are a bigger threat than the Nuggets?
Yes.
The Nuggets will screw themselves sooner or later because they have all the talent in the world but no maturity.
Like KMart's stupid grab on Vujacic last year right in front of the refs.
Or JR Smith getting baited by Vujacic last year in that one close game.
KMart & JR Smith will always find a way to lose.
the mavs cannot be threats if they play barrea. we benched our trash the mavs continue to use a liability
I wouldn't say he was a pussy, but I do agree he wasnt as good at making his teammates better as he is now.
I still think losing Steve Nash was the best thing to happen to Dirk, because he had to take over the team, and did a great job overall right off the back back in the 04-05 season. but i think he proved that he still grew by contributing with solid defense and great rebounding even though he didnt shoot well, and by the next season, he was a full-fledged superstar.
yeah i still think the nuggets can be mindscrewed too easily
the funny thing is barea always seems to torch the lakers. hes a tough matchup for them because he is actually able to guard fisher and farmar.
i have nothing against dirk. i think he's one of the best players in the game now. i would trade ginobili + jefferson and carry dirk from dallas to san antonio to have him on the spurs. offensively, he's better than duncan, garnett, and gasol. the only knock on him is that he can't lead his team to a le. he's a good first option but lacks the interior defense his team needs at PF. he is essentially an oversized SF.
2009 called brah, it wants you to look at the defensive win shares this year and see who's the surprise name on the list. I'll give you a hint, it's someone that has been a decent defender for years although fat s from SA still haven't realized this, and is actually a good defender this year.
The shadows of that black summer of '06 shall haunt Dirk until the day he dies, or, if he should somehow ring before he croaks. I don't see that happening. Kobe & he are about the same age, though Dirk is more mature, but, that only stands to reason because girls mature faster than boys. And Dirk was never more lovely than when Flash made Dirk squeal like a little girl in Miami.
Oh, yeah.
