I'm sure Duncan will get his numbers but I doubt the mavs will consistently double Duncan. The spurs offense relies on Duncan getting double teams so I say let Duncan get 30 and don't double team.
I hope you don't think that Diop and Dampier owning Gasol means they're going to own Tim. Two completely different players. Nazr Mohammed will play big in this series. He owned the Mavs in Game 3 during the season.

Mavericks individual players > Spurs individual players
Spurs team >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mavericks team
End of story.
Dallas vs SA - 4 games
Terry - 14.75 points per game on .461 shooting
Parker - 21.75 points per game on .627 shooting
mavsfan1000 once again proving he knows jack. Maybe a hobbled Parker can even things up a bit for your wonder boy Terry.
If the mavs outrebound the spurs by 10 a game it makes up for that. I never said Terry could stop Parker anyways.
I agree. Terry(JET) is very quick also. Terry has the ability to shoot lights out or take it to the whole against a small guy like Parker. However, Terry can't guard Tony either.
Take away that 1st game when Dallas blew out the Spurs by 20 pts and Terry only played like 20 min...and he's avging about 18.33 pts per game. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th matchups of the season, when there is a whole lot more at stake are the ones u should be looking at.
Sometimes I actually really believe that mavsfan1000 is Mark Cuban.
In the past this was true. Not anymore. Tim got 15 on 8 FGA and the Spurs scored 105. Ball movement is the key. If SA can get you to rotate twice, they've got you for an easy score, probably 80% probability.
In that 1st matchup between Dalals and SA, Terry only had 8 shot attempts compared to Parker's 17. Also Terry had 8 ass to Parker's 3.
...Furthermore, Terry had 2 steals and only 1 to...Parker had 0 steals, 4 to's. The fact is, we didn't need Terry to score at all in that game. Dirk had 34 pts and Harris(the other pg had 22) also, Howard had 17. When Dallas needs Terry to score, that's just what he does. It is evident in the 3 games following, that Terry has the ability to score on SA with an avg of 18.33pts. Sure, Parker is the better scorer, but not by much. Don't let that 1st game(4 pts) fool you. Terry can flat out play...and he's more clutch than Tony is.
I'm not so sure about the clutch factor. Parker has hit a ton of clutch shots this entire season, including several in the closing minutes of Game 5.
There are no "takeaways" in the playoffs. Every minute of every game counts.
of course you do.I disagree with that statement that Diop or Dampier can't stop Duncan
Career bench stiffs can stop the best power forward ever to lace em up.
Oh yeah...![]()
"Ball movement is the key"
the whole world agrees on that, is why Nick's endless dribbling last night was so infuriating. A Stevie Francis imitation.
Funny how like to talk about history so much. Unfortunately Nowitzki is now the best power forward. Diop and Dampier are not bench stiffs. They are very active and long. You'll see soon if you didn't see it already in the regular season.![]()
No, unfortunately, Dirk is still NOT. No rings, No MVPs, not even close to the defensive, rebounding, passing, and intangible skills of Duncan. Has Dirk had better seasons? Yes, the past two he has had much better seasons than Duncan.
I didn't see it in the regular season. I guess I get to see something new on Sunday!
You just said yes, the past two seasons Dirk has had better seasons than Duncan. Then you go on to say you didn't see it in the regular season. So, which is it?
I was referring to Dampier and Diop.

I'm sorry. That was disrespectful on my part.
Well, I went back and read the original post and saw my mistake. I apologize for that. Missed the part about Damp and Diop. All is forgiven.
Haha, good.
Agreed. After some thought...Tony too is very clutch. My point is, Terry is almost efficient as Tony is scoring points, and that game one was a bit decieving in terms of his scoring ability.
stop howard
dirk likes howard to start the game and then dirk tries to get his 20-30 points
stop howard you stop the mavs
Yep, I've said before that stopping Howard will take the wind out of the Mavs sails. You do not shut down Dirk, you shut down his roleplayers. Keep Howard, Terry, Stack, and Harris from going off and the Mavs sink.
The Mavs front line will not be as effective as ours. Tony played through his thigh problems on Friday, I have confidence he will be big for us. We need a vBookie on how many buzzer beating threes he will have (or the team in general) in this series, lol.
