I'm curious to know why last season was the Mavs only shot???
Well I have taken the same liberty that mav fans have when they seem to think they dominated the Spurs last year. The same liberty they have taken to completely ignore how lucky they were to advance.. Oh and it is very difficult to repeat getting back to the finals.. The Mavs will not shoot 69% again for the first half nor will they be bailed out with a foul down by 3 with less than 30 seconds left.. see in order to win you need to very good and a little lucky.. the mavs had their luck last year and they blew it..
May I ask where you have been the last 4 yrs? I'll let you in on a secret..get closer.. the Spurs have won 2 of the last 4 championships.. and the mavs have made the finals once.. Come on God you should know that.! So signing George helps them win championships?
They were the 05 06 version of the 93 94 Phoenix Suns.I'm curious to know why last season was the Mavs only shot???
i do realize that. the fact tho is that dallas is better than the Spurs right now. they had two 20 point wins last year over SA, the Spurs biggest margin was 9 points. Mavs are only getting better and deeper, while the spurs arent doing anything except getting older.
in your words the celtics are better because they have 16 to your 3.
^ well said god. The Spurs fans are just jelous of all the offseason aquisitions we have made while their team is sitting on their asses and getting older.
It's a very good signing at the vet's minimum for a 28-year old 6'8" SF who has played in 75 play-off games. Just because he was on the Lakers and just because it's for Dallas does not mean it has to criticized.

so now the reg season is your indicator they are that much better? Has it been that long since the Celts won a le? why don't you look at the last game? the one that they shot 69% for the half? the one they got bailed out on with a foul with less than 30 seconds left? wouldn't that be a better indicator? younger? older? elson is 30 and butler is 21? bonner is 25? wouldn't they make us a deeper team?... so using your logic the mavs got older as well..maybe you should think before you post..and as franchise absolutley the celts have the spurs by 15 banners
George is ok. Just ok. Nothing to really get jealous about.
yeah I know the Spurs have never been able to retool after losing to win a championship.. I mean the gall that Spurs fans to assume they can do it.. oh wait they have..twice...
please tell me who we should be jealous of...
Anthony Johnson, Austin Croshere, Maurice Ager, Greg Buckner, and now maybe Devean George are all solid pickups that are improvements on who we had coming off the bench last year. Our already deep bench just got alot deeper. Thats what u should be jealous of.yeah I know the Spurs have never been able to retool after losing to win a championship.. I mean the gall that Spurs fans to assume they can do it.. oh wait they have..twice...

As long as we are digging up old posts, here's what I had to say:
Well, I guess the Mavs got him for that minimum contract. It's a decent signing. They get bonus points for signing another guy who usually plays better in the playoffs.
Especially against the Spurs

yawn... i thought you said i'd be jealous? I'm jealous of jessica alba's boyfriend... the mavs? not even close..
by the way how did that 'deep' bench do in the finals?
Pretty much. The only thing he's done in his career is bury the Spurs. When the Lakers were starting four Hall of Famers and George, it was George who liked to hit the dagger shots.
Wasn't Rick Fox starting and George coming off the bench? Or was it George starting and Fox coming off the bench. I forget.
Man did I dislike Fox. He thought he was da bomb when all he was doing was riding the coat tails of great players.
Good God Afro! Just because it happen twice doesn't mean it will happen again. The Spurs are a good team, but they will need to tweak their roster weather they win a championship or not.yeah I know the Spurs have never been able to retool after losing to win a championship..

One day the Spurs will be as good as the Knicks.
or
How a about the time when a 30+ Dominque Wilkins was your high scorer. How was that team?
Getting a call on an obvious hack across the arm on a dunk attempt is not a "bail out"...Wade got a bail out in Game 5 if you want to call anything a bail out...Well I have taken the same liberty that mav fans have when they seem to think they dominated the Spurs last year.

The Mavs definitely didn't dominate the Spurs...anybody that says they did is an IDIOT. They showed that they're right there with them though, 6-5 for the season against them with tons of close games. The Mavs aren't going anywhere for a few years though, which is why it's idiotic to boldly state that last year was their "only chance" to win a le. It was a golden opportunity, but there's no way anybody can say for sure that they will or will not be back in the finals in the next few years...
Judging by the posts around here, I don't most Spurs fans share your optimism with all of the stellar off-season moves the Spurs have made this year...yeah I know the Spurs have never been able to retool after losing to win a championship..

How'd the Spurs bench do in the SECOND ROUND?? And how improved is that bench looking for next season??
History indicates how difficult it is..not just anybody..

Lenny, Lenny, Lenny..we are accustomed to winning champioships here.. pardon us for not getting 'fired up' during the summer.. your like the spurs fans pre-1999.. everything gets you fired up..
Spurs don't need alot of change. Between Tim, Tony, Manu, and Bruce we will win 55 to 60 games like we do every year. We already have the core to go all the way.
The Mavs on the other hand had once-in-a-career games from 2 or 3 players and beat the Spurs to advance. Then showed the world why the didn't belong by being soundly beaten by a Sub-Par Heat team.
So, we shall soon see who comes out of the West this year. One thing we can all agree on........It will cost the Mavs a lot more $$$$$$ to prove it....and we all know $$$$ don't buy rings, talent does.
You're showing your ignorance there, TheHobbs. Both the Mavs and the Spurs are under the salary cap.
No, neither team is under the salary cap. The Spurs are under the luxury tax threshhold -- I don't think the Mavs are even under that.
And remember Cuban is paying Finley about six times the money the Spurs are paying him this season.
