Most people posting here get it wrong.
Making 1st in their division and conference means alot to
those in the the Mavs organization.
So they're gonna end up hanging those banners and posing
for pictures taken next to them and parade those banners
around Dallas and wrap themselves up in those banners
and sell commemorative cups, calendars, towel sets, bus benches
adorned with those banners, telephone pole banners, airplane
high-in-the-sky banners and for sure, let's not forget
MCube's personalized licensed plates.
Spurs have never won the le w/o winning the division.
They will not win it this year either. I am fine with that.
Dallas is a lock.
Time to change that ehy? Keep up the optimism...
I'd rather the Mavs face the Suns than a healthy Rockets team.
So he writes that the Mavs have all but won the Division, and that the Spurs are a threat in the playoffs .... This is a knock on the Spurs in what way?
It should be noted the time the artical was written .. All-Star weekend .... Nothing worthwhile to talk about.
* * * * *
Facing the Rockets is a hit or miss proposition. Will they be healthy? Maybe ... Maybe not.
The Suns on the other hand ... They will just be dangerous, however, last year they ran out of gas in the WCF, both Nash and Marion admitted that they were exausted after the season of running and then the playoffs.
This year is shaping up the same way .. The minutes that the Suns are piling on their top six players tends to lead me to think that they will run out of gas again. I think the Suns in a late round would be an easier match-up then an early match-up with the Rockets.
Of course the Jazz shouldn't be overlooked.
I remember that quote from Horry. Devastatingly true!One Dallas Sportwriter's View on our Team !
Just to put an end to the division le smack once and for all...
The NBA has been around in one form or another for 61 years...in that time only 2 teams have won more division les than the Spurs...they are of course, the Boston Celtics and the Lost Angeles Lakers.
Boston and LA = 60 years of existence and counting
San Antonio Spurs = 30 years of NBA existence and counting.
The numbers are...
LA - 27 Division les
Boston - 24 Division les
San Antonio Spurs - 15 Division les
Dallas Mavericks - 1 Division le
San Antonio in the NBA for 30 years = 15 division les
Dallas Mavericks in the NBA for 27 years = 1 division le
SINCE the Spurs entered the NBA no team has won more division les than they have...
Big deal.
The Spurs don't even pay attention to the division le...they could care less about it. They don't even put individual banners up for winning them any more.
The fact that this guy makes such a big deal about the division le should embarrass MavFan....it's shows just how much of a the Mavs have been during their 27 year history.
If I were Mav fan I'd bury any division le talk...
Kings and TWolves also thought they were the when they won a division le, they celebrated more than the Spurs do when they win a le...where are they now?

That is actually a pretty damn phenominal track record for a team based in small market San Antonio. Nice post, Whottt!
In addition, the Spurs have the third best all time winning percentage in the NBA behind only the Lakers and Celtics.Just to put an end to the division le smack once and for all...

And the Spurs have only missed the playoffs 4 times in the 30 years they've been in the NBA.
But Dallas must have more than one division le. Harper and Aguirre only won one?
I appreciate the back up...
But the Spurs are now #2 All Time in winning %...they passed Boston.

Yeap.
One.
They've had big leads before too...like in 02-03, and lost the division.
Probably won't happen this time...but never say never.
I expected them to pass Boston soon. But every time I try to look it up, I realize that worthless history section of NBA.COM hasn't been updated for years.
It is funny how some people put so much stock in the regular season. Granted with the Spurs playing like crap a few weeks i was down in the dumps but they have turned the corner since. They have a team that has tons of playoff experience and can go on the road and beat anyone.
And if MJ doesn't go on a baseball boondoggle, Houston would have the same number of championships as Dallas."They're the only team in Texas," Horry said, "that doesn't have a championship."
nice post but we're still better than youJust to put an end to the division le smack once and for all...

What the is it with you mav fans? You guys always have to discredit another teams achievements, but then when it comes to your team everybody has to ing bow down. The fact that MJ wasn't playing has nothing to do with Houston winning the les those years. You guys of all people should know that winning it all is never ever easy.
[QUOTE]You guys of all people should know that winning it all is never ever easy./QUOTE]
But it gets alot easier if the best player in the league is on hiatus. I give credit to Houston for being the best team at the time, but they get an asterisk I'm sorry. Do you bang on the Jazz because they couldn't beat the Bulls? Those teams in 97 and 98 went through Houston. Only to lose to Chicago.
The fact is neither one of them could beat the Bulls.

Just the kind of response I expected.
whatever emoticon man. I'll bring the facts you bring the smileys.
I'm still waiting for the "facts".
[QUOTE=jack0fspeed]By the way Mr. "facts", in 95 a bull team lead by Jordan lost in the conference finals to the magic. So your little argument doesn't hold much weight.You guys of all people should know that winning it all is never ever easy./QUOTE]
