Who's streak ends first?

[stretch]

And with all of that, if you don't get 3 Keith Van Horn three pointers in Game 7 last year, the Ginobili foul is a non-issue.

The notion that Parker "can't do against Terry or Harris" is laughable to me -- the Devin Harris part, in particular. Devin Harris had great games in Games 2 and 3 of the playoff series. He shot 14-26 from the floor and 16-20 from the line, scoring 44 points. What's never mentioned is that he couldn't match that production in Games 4-7 of the series. In fact, he only scored 42 points in the last 4 games of that series and only 9 in the last two games. Parker, meanwhile, had games of 33, 27, and 24 in Games 4-7.

With the Devin Harris twist in full effect, Parker spent relatively little time on Terry for the rest of the series. It's awfully difficult to look at Terry's sheer numbers and conclude that he did his work against Parker and that Parker couldn't stop him.

This year, that has seemingly carried over. In 26 mpg against the Spurs this season, Devin Harris has scored a total of 17 points (5.7 per game) while shooting under 33% from the floor (7-23). Parker, meanwhile, is averaging 16.7 ppg in those games, just a shade below his season average, while shooting 49% from the floor.

The Spurs have problems to address against the Mavericks, undoubtedly. But your attempts to characterize those problems ignore facts.

ok. im not going to get into another arguement about Harris. IMO, when he wants to, Harris can own Parker on both ends of the court. but he still has a ways to go to develop the maturity and consistency we need out of him. Parker is a far more consistent player, but IMO, Harris is considerably more talented and explosive. but what about Howard? Stackhouse? they both can score 20-30 any given night. you cant say the same about anyone on the Spurs other than their big 3. but for the Mavs, we have Dirk, Terry, Harris, Howard, and Stack who are all capable of going off for 20+ any night.

replace them with Croshere this year...

man, it was classic to see how pissed Kobe was last night when Croshere did the alley-oop.

[SpurForLife]

Mavs = undefeated in March

28 straight, then a loss @ Suns on Apr 1st

I think the Pistons or Cavs have something to say about that!!

[sammy]

Golden State

[LEONARD]

I think the Pistons or Cavs have something to say about that!!

and Phoenix...

I didn't say it would be an EASY stretch, did I?

[LEONARD]

Golden State

They DO seem to have the Mavs number...

[monosylab1k]

They could lose just about every game left for the rest of the season, just as long as they beat the ing Suns, I'll be happy.

[gameFACE]

Spurs seem to have trouble beating the Bucks....

That's what I was thinking. They split the season series last year but the spread was only a few points each time. The Bucks are <.500 but they have a real chance on ending the SPurs streak.

Still I say the Spurs win that game and the Mavs will have an off night coming up.

[bigfundamental21]

Mavs will lose to Suns

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Neither streak will end until the Spurs knock the Mavs out in the third round of the playoffs.

In fact, the league office will rule that each team is a winner when they meet and the end of the regular season and conclude that the game does not have to actually be played.

Write it down.

[mabber]

Mavs will lose to Suns

Yeah they could. I would imagine that the game is going to be more important to Phoenix as they want to prove they can beat a good team. Everybody has told them about their poor record vs. Dallas, Utah & San Antonio so they are gonna be geared up for Wednesday night's game. They'll have to play a of a game to beat Dallas in Dallas though.

[himat]

Mavs will lose today, GS is fighting for the playoffs.

[Hoopy Dunkalot]

Oh I get this game...every day the Mavs play you guys all come on and say they will lose....that way you can trumpet your game calling skills. Nice.

So after tonight we say Phoenix, the Detroit, etc. until the Spurs lose one and the game ends.

Awesome.

You guys rule.

Nice to see the Dallas troll spouting off stupid about Harris being some kind of special player and Parker being overrated. Did you and your raider friends have no luck jumping anyone tonight? Diop can handle Duncan? Why dont you go slash some tires or rob somebody. It is what raider fans do in the offseason.

[Tigole Bitties]

64-51 at the half. WARRRRRRIORS... coming out to plaaaaaay!

[Shank]

I don't get this thread. Technically, the Spurs would have to get to at least 17 straight for the 2 streaks to even be comparable.

[CubanMustGo]

and 72-53 now. What kind of gimmics is Nellie pulling tonight, anyway?

Still would not be surprised to see Mavs win.

[SpursDynasty]

Dallas' streak ends tonight, and most of us knew that before this game even started. Am I right? (Golden State always beats them)

[Gino20]

Yup, the Mavs got their ass beat! However, I think your allowed to lose once in a while...they won 17 in a row for god sake!

[SpursDynasty]

A team that is being compared to MJ's 1996 Bulls, should be going out and beating the Warriors.

[Gino20]

I completely agree with you on two aspects; a)they should have beat the warriors, and b)its horrible that they are being compare to that Bulls team (thats what it seems like your saying). The Bulls would beat their ass along with every other team I think. However, teams simply don't go 82-0. Every team is gonna have a off night. Don't get me wrong, I am loving every minute of it though!!!

I guess that means that Dallas has to win at least 3 rings before they can breath the same air as the Spurs.

Hmm.

[Pugglekicker_21]

Better lat than never. Losing 102-71 last I looked in. Why does GS always seem to have the Mavs number? ANd can the Mavs even think of coming back? Its the start of the 4th.

[Gino20]

Hmm.
