Official Mavs Fans-Spurs Fans Smack Thread

[nkdlunch]

But if basketball was so much better in the 1990's, how the was one team able to win 72 games?

that year jordan was on a mission from God. You can consider it an asterisk year.

[Don Quixote]

Nah, we'd settle for just one [championship ring, before we accept smack talk from Mavs Fan].

Go easy on Little Brother. He's insecure.

Both teams are looking great. Dallas is pretty much kicking everyone's butt. Actually, when was the last time either Dallas, S.A., Phoenix, or Utah lost? All 4 teams are kicking butt right now and the West playoffs should be great. If I were commish, however, I would contract the playoffs and only let in the top 4 seeds. Then, I would stack teams' conference games at the end of the season, and let 9 or 10 teams fight it out for 4 spots. It would give the regular season some meaning.

Right now, Dallas, S.A., Utah, and Pho. are just tuning up for the playoffs, and seeds 5-8 are working hard to get in, but will in all likelihood get beat pretty handily in the first round. So the first round will be boring.

Phoenix lost last week.

I think the 4 vs. 5 seed series will be very compe ive. Other than that I don't see the lower seed winning more than 1 game (maybe 2) in the other first round series.

Hmmm ... maybe if Houston gets #5. They can more than hang with S.A.. However, they're not exactly playing gangbusters right now. I think Utah will smush them.

L.A. (#6?) against S.A. Could be good, but the Lakers are struggling and everyone except Kobe is hurt. Spurs in a sweep, maybe.

Dallas and Phoenix should have no problems against Denver and (the Clips/Wolves/Warriors), respectively. So the final weeks of the reg. season, and the first round of the playoffs will accomplish squat. Too many mediocre teams making the playoffs. I say, shorten the playoffs and let fewer teams in.

Mavs is at what 16 games now so they have the better streak. They lose like a game a month these days.

[adrienne]

miss paxton, I agree--the compe ion for the Mavs hasn't exactly been awe-inspiring. But the fact that they didn't have many on the road or many back-to-backs seems less important, at least to me, due to their great road record and the fact that they have yet to lose the second half of back-to-back. It also doesn't negate the other two 12+ winning streaks.

I'm not saying trying to prove the Mavs superiority, I'm just saying that it's a little bit rediculous that some (not you) have said that the Mavs winning streak is meaningless while celebrating the streak the Spurs are on, because "three rings" (the only argument I've heard lately.

Anyone that says that is just being a hater.

[Obstructed_View]

My boy Michael is from Dallas and always has to fall back on the fact that Dallas has more overall sports championships than San Antonio. If only Lombardis and Stanleys meant a damn when talking hoops. It must be something in the water up in Dallas...

Dallas has 4 sports teams that have been in existence a total of 123 years with 6 championships.
San Antonio has 1 sports team that has been in existence a total of 34 years with 3 championships.

You forgot about the legendary Dallas Sidekicks. That's four more les.

[Dalhoop]

I think that the Mavs is more impressive, It has been going for longer. The idea that all the teams were "beatable" holds little water. With the top teams in the league, everyone is beatable.

Its a function of getting up to play the Hawks and Blazers as opposed to thinking that you have the game in hand. When a team wins alot of games, it is natural to think about your own supiriority. Now the Mavs and Spurs are saying the right things, but inside, its only human.

That a team can go 10-16 games without taking a game off is worthy of note. A coach can only do so much whip-cracking, at some point the team will need a loss to bring them back to earth.

Beating anyone in a league were anyone can get hot that many times in a row, is not easy. More then a little luck is involed in both streaks.

[conversekid]

16 wins against anybody is pretty good if you ask me.

Exactly. How can you say what the mavs have done is nothing? No, they haven't won the ring... but stop hating. The mavs are steam rolling the league right now. What they've done to "this" point is pretty smooth.

[GrandeDavid]

A 16 game win streak against any set of opponents in the NBA is amazing. Just being able to maintain the focus and discipline of taking care of business over so many games is awesome. The Spurs are mounting their own terrific streak quietly.

[ShoogarBear]

Is Cuban going on Letterman again?

[DubMcDub]

Having said that... it means nothing more than home-court advantage, and I don't think the Spurs are horribly concerned about that.

It really amuses me how many times this gets written on the board.

It means a lot more than home court advantage. It means having the #1 seed and getting to play the weakest team in the first round as well as not having to potentially face the other 2 top teams in the West in successive rounds.

But keep telling yourselves "it's only about HCA and the Spurs don't care about that".

[ShoogarBear]

Wow. Mav Fan up in here regulating us about the playoffs.

Drop the knowledge, Cuban lovers.

[ShoogarBear]

Although, on second thought, I can see why they put a lot of stock in the HCA.

[angryllama]

This thread is pretty weak.

The Spurs are only 9 games back in the loss column. That's right. 9 games. 9 games separate the two teams. 9. Games. 9.

The Mavs are chasing NBA history while the Spurs are chasing the Suns.

See you at the finish line.

We have a different idea of where the finish line is than you do.

dallas is going to crush you. enjoy your streak. when you get your winning % up to .850 or better, then come talk about your "regular season" success. you guys are so happy that your spurs are no longer looking 100 years old and are finally playing with some intention, that you fail to see that dallas is still playing at a much higher level. heck, dallas is strolling along, playing about 3/4 of a quarter each game, yet still picking up victory after victory. its like auto-pilot at this point. dallas is bored, just waiting for the real season (playoffs) to begin. when it does, they are going to ramp it up several more notches. spurs will find themselves playig catch-up again.

meanwhile, mavs fans will be spurs fans, cheering you on to get that 3rd seed ahead of utah. have fun with the suns. hope to see you in the WCFs....

Who the are you? Another Mav bandwagoner, Jesus, like -a-roaches. Your one to talk about regular season, seeing as how thats all your team has won in, why dont you not post again until your team wins something besides the regular season le, it might be awhile. I hate having to bring up rings, but you make me do it.
