Mavs beat them in 5 last year. The Mavs are even better this year while SA has gotten worse. It's the first round. A 2nd seed vs a 7th seed. Avery and Howard are gone from the choke season. Reality is back in the mix. No problems for the Mavs.
I love it! Spurs-Mavs hands down the best rivalry since the 80s Lakers-Celtics Playoffs on! I've been waiting for this since last April!

too bad they are completely different teams from last year
Which is why the Mavericks are better and SA is worse. They will smoke em. Mavs even have a little french er themselves now who IMHO is better than Parker.
too bad our little french er never plays.
Wait, is he dtf?
That shows you how much better the Mavs are than SA. SA's french er starts and the Mavs french er usually pepe lepu's of the bench behind JJ.
Mono, appreciate your insights as always. You always have struck me as one of THE most level-headed fans around here. A couple of factors from both sides:
From the Mavs side, ever since they emerged from that 2006 WCSF series, they've played the Spurs with another level of confidence. Motivation is no longer an issue.
From the Spurs side. after that humiliating loss in last year's playoffs, they have the "revenge" thing going for them. That should add a little bit of incentive. Especially since they are virtually injury-free.
Ever since their first playoff meeting in 2001, the level of playoff intensity has always been amped up volumes. These two teams ALWAYS seem to bring out the best in one another.
Yeah the spurs are even worse with a healthy manu, tim, parker....stop watching espn
Bottom Line: Never, ever, ever underestimate a healthy Manu Ginobili.
Just to clarify: Duncan was playing hurt last year, but not from plantar fasciitis.
He was diagnosed with tendonosis in his right knee last year in February, and his left knee was bothering him as well, that got to the point where he's needed the brace this season. His game dropped badly after the All-Star break.
He had plantar fasciitis the entire 2005-06 season.
Just clarifying.
Explain to me dumbass how the Spurs are worse this year than last year? I would love to hear your logic moron.
The Spurs literally had 2 players last year and one of them which was Duncan was playing with plantar fasciitis the entire year.
I guess having a healthy Tim, Tony, and Manu makes them worse this year. Also the improvement of George Hill makes them worse. And, losing Oberto and picking up Mcdyess and Blair is destroying the team this year too. Lastly as bad has has been he still improves the Spurs team over last years team.
Now I know why everyone thinks your a re in the political forum..you seem to just talk out of your ass
Gotcha.....They are playing so much better this year but last year won 4 more games. The 2009-2010 Spews are so freaken much better this year, they managed to squeak out a tie with the Thunder.
The Spews played so hurt last year but they won more games. You have great logic. Let me guess. The West go sooooooo much better, BLAH!!!!!! Whatever gets you through the day.
Mavs roughly had the same jump shooting frontrunners last season, and they didn't even have Marion then who wasn't of this category, but Spurs still managed to lose the series to Mavs pretty meekly in game 5. No dramatic change has been made between the compounds of Mavs and Spurs, hence I still see Mavs having a better chance this year.
Ironically it was you who die-hardly advocated and expertised the buzzer beating trade that Mavs made though Mavs would finally gain some sort of success this season, and it's now the same re ed person who's tentatively predicting a loss for Mavs.
I wish you would bother to check the history to find the last time that Spurs beat the Mavs in a series in playoffs, and compare its date to the exact date that Iraq war ended at and tell me which is earlier.
idk why Mav fan is so scared.
Don't be talking about the Nets now, buddy boy. The Nets might not have won many games this season, but when you have only 8 players playing the first 10 games or so it is hard to win games, when you have no real coach it's harder as well. Nets have talent and next season is a whole new season, can't wait till we kill the Mavs next season
Manu will not take the spurs to a le. He just is not that good to carry a team to a le.
You will need strong play from the bigs to go far in the playoffs.
Do you watch basketball?
Manu Ginobili didn't play in that series.
/yourstupidpoint
I'd love to see the Spurs win just to see Cuban's reaction. Especially if it's in San Antonio and then have a spurs mob throw him into that dirty green river near the mall and where Rodman likes to pee.
unless Lebron or Wade joined them this summer, which isn't very likely to happen though.Don't be talking about the Nets now, buddy boy.

Different faces, same pussy jump shooting mentality
I like the Smashing Pumpkins
Didn't the Mavs have an enormous amount of comebacks this year, and the most road wins in the league? Never question the great mentality of the Dallas Mavs.
This is just a subtle jab @ Dirk by Mono. After all, this is the same guy who wanted Dirk traded for the likes of Anthony Randolph and Tyrus mother ing Thomas.
are the Warriors qualified for playoffs this season? or further rigorously, how long has it been since their last playoff appearance?
I'd have to check, but I think Cleveland is the only other team that had a winning record on the road against +.500 teams.
The main reason to worry about this series is because the Spurs have raised their game and rounded into form - not because of weaknesses or deficiencies in the Mavericks. My biggest worry is Terry getting 40 minutes and Roddy getting none. I don't see Roddy playing 30 minutes a game, but I think Carlisle will find timely and opportunistic moments to use him.
And he has the balls to say he has the best track record of getting things right with this team.This is just a subtle jab @ Dirk by Mono. After all, this is the same guy who wanted Dirk traded for the likes of Anthony Randolph and Tyrus mother ing Thomas.
Unfair for Ghazi TBH. Ghazi is one established paragon who's mantled with numerous honors and considerable fame, while in contrast you are a, said with the highest respect deserved for you, troll.
mavs in 5.
