Spurs kick Mav Ass on Friday

I see both teams being even and the games they play against each other as toss-ups.

I give the edge to the Spurs tonight. Spurs don't lose 3 in a row very often and they've had a day off while the Mavs had to work hard to beat the Pacers last night in a very physical game. The one positive for the Mavs is that their bench played a lot of minutes last night. I think the Mavs are playing well enough and have built up so much confidence at this point where the Spurs will have to play well to beat them but I would expect the Spurs to do just that after losing 2 in a row and playing on home court.

Wake up people! This is a regular season game in January. Sure it's got some hype because it's Mavs vs. Spurs, but barring some injury this game won't have that much impliction on who's standing in May and June, regardless of who wins.

I agree, but it would be nice to have a 4 game lead over the Spurs after this game.

There's no such thing as being due for anything in sports. The fact that they are 7-0 thus far has little to no bearing on the outcome of the next one.

That said, should be a great game. Mavs win a close one.

Sad to say, but I agree with you, and I can't STAND most of the Dallas players, coaches or their owner. I wish the Spurs could win it, but I don't think they will because I think the Mavs have all the confidence right now ( and they deserve it), and the Spurs are shaken.

Unless Pop gets the team in hand and actually starts directing some things other than his occasional temper tantrum at the team, we ( Spurs) are going to go downhill for the balance of the season. Pop has turned over most of the day-to-day coaching to his assistants, and then when he tries to do something in the middle of a game, they usually haven't a clue how to execute it successfuly. The true predictor of a Spurs offensive turnover is to have a Pop call a play during a time out. We lose the ball on the ensuing play 8 times out of ten.

I'll be satisfied if the Spurs play their hearts out for all four quarters tonight, because that would really represent a pleasant change from the way they have been playng lately.

Teams' prior records against one another do little to inform the projected outcome on any given night ( note the last several games for the Spurs). Everyone in the league has figured out how to defend against us, and the Mavs just do it better this year (and last) than anyone else.
