Manu doesnt flop at nearly the rate Harris does, its almost immposivle for me to watch a game that he plays in. He really disgraces the game of basketball as far as Im concerned. I hate all flopping in general, yes even when Manu does it.

Yeah, and while Manu does flop alot, he also gets hammered alot as well. I even hate when that big Dirk goes flopping around and gets up pumping his fist. Man up and play freakin basketball! It's like when things start to go sour lets start flopping around. Bullcrap! Even from Manu.....

[Trainwreck2100]

We went 31-10 on the road this year and we would've had G4 if not for those five fluke points by Davis at the end of the quarters. We can win in that building...Actually doing it is another matter. If we can come into your building in Game 7 and win, we can win at the Oracle. Won't be easy.

I seem to recall a goose egg being laid in Miami from games 2-5. So they are more than capable of losing this one.

[LEONARD]

In the grand scheme of things, b-ball players are huge pussies...seriously...

[mabber]

Most of the Mavs fans on here seem to be pretty fair, and unbiased. I just really hate the flops and things by Dirk and that punk Harris. I guess the same way you guys hate Manu huh?

I don't hate Manu. I don't blame him for trying to draw a foul (it's smart basketball). That's all Harris is trying to do. Hating a player for trying to do what they are coached to do is kinda silly don't you think? In regards to Harris...he's just trying to get playing time. Avery tells him that if he can draw a few charges a game then he'll get more playing time. Avery and the coaches teach him the best way to draw the foul and he (just like Manu) goes out an tries to execute it. As I mentioned above, it's ridiculous to hate the player for doing this.

Oh I dont only hate him for flopping, although its a big part. He whines more than any player in the league not on the SPurs. He always makes these faces like he was robbed by the refs. He flops so much that at times he becomes a defensive liability, he will take a flop and his man will just score.He lays on the floor covering his eyes everytime he doesnt get a charge call. His point guard skills are horrible, he cant shoot for , and he looks like Fieval, other than those things though hes ok

Do you hate Duncan for this cuz he makes the exact same faces, etc.

Didn't I say that as well?

[mardigan]

You know I cant hate Duncan being a Spurs fan, and I already brought the Spurs players up, but if I wasnt a Spur fan, I would probably dislike Timmy and Manu very, very much.

At least you're honest. In my old age, I've gotten past hating other teams and their players for the most part. I still marvel at the incredible ignorance (see SJax) of some players though. Jackson's post game interview last night was priceless. I pretty much give players passes for lapses in judgement during compe ion. I base a lot of my opinions on how they respond verbally afterwards.

[ambchang]

Leonard's been here every day, what the are you talking about? the majority of Mavs fans have been posting every day, there's a few that have disappeared but most of us are all here. what board have you been at?

This board, and I was talking to those bandwaggon Mav fans, so no need to be so testy. I would have thought that you would enjoy poking fun at those spineless bas s.

well sorry for the misunderstanding then, i thought you were talking about mavs fans in general. i think the majority of regular mavs posters here have shown up through thick and thin though.

Hate is a strong word, just don't like the way he plays. It goes back to the whole rivalry thing I guess. Have to have one or two players on the team that you really just don't like.

[samikeyp]

not really, it's just irritating when every win is the result of a conspiracy.

I agree...there were some Mavs fans saying the same thing during the Finals.

Conspiracy therories are the ignorant fan's way of justifying their particular teams misfortune.

That's one of my problems, I really don't have a problem with any of the Spurs players. SJax is the only guy on the Warriors that I could do without.

[FromWayDowntown]

I hate it when Duncan does that; though in these playoffs, he's certainly not done that much at all. He had the one glare at Bill Kennedy on Monday night when Camby very clearly fouled him and there were no calls whatsoever going Tim's way, but beyond that, he's just shut up and played.

What I find amusing, though, is that some Mavs fans will complain about Tim's complaining and his looks at officials and argue that those things are just hideous, while completely ignoring the fact that Devin Harris -- Devin freakin' Harris -- is just as bad, if not worse.

I think I've been pretty clear with my position around here that blaming losses on officiating is weak. Like mikey said above, it's weak when Spurs fans do it with regard to Mavericks wins (against the Spurs or any other team) and it was weak when Mavs fans did it during last year's Finals. It's okay, I think, to complain about particular calls having been incorrect, but blaming losses on incorrect calls is ridiculous.

[hater]

attention mav fans:
you'all are done after game 6. have a nice summer!

Yeah, Harris is the worst on the Mavs at doing that. At least he doesn't take it too far and get technical fouls called on him. Dirk still complains some as does D.George. Those are the main culprits on Dallas.

The whole lot of them were really bad last night.

[Islymore]

Stack's pretty bad with it too... I have noticed that Josh hasnt been as vocal with the refs, he might ask about the call, but I havent seen him linger too long this year.

[DarrinS]

A lot of players whine about calls, but Harris takes it to a new level with his facial expressions.

[dav4463]

Mavericks were lucky to escape with a win last night. Terry is still a thug. Nowitski threw up prayers that were answered, he certainly wasn't dominant. Harris played out of his mind for a 3 minute stretch and the Warriors blew a 9 point lead by playing stupid. All this against an 8 seed ! If the mavs don't get the same calls in Oakland that they get in Dallas, there is a good chance they don't win the game. Dallas needs their 35+ free throw attempts in every game to win. Dirk is a big soft jump shooter and gets to go to the line 15 times.....laughable!

[monosylab1k]

the Warriors blew a 9 point lead by playing stupid.

and the Mavericks didn't blow a 21 point lead by playing stupid?

[dav4463]

That's what I'm saying. You can't play like that on the road and expect to win. If you don't get as many calls on the road you may not win. If the Warriors shoot 36 free throws and the mavs only get 26, then the Warriors probably win.

[ATXSPUR]

Mavs fans sure are y this morning...

How is that different from 24/7?

[ponky]

well, even if you do drop game 6 at least the fans got one of a home closer.......for whatever that's worth


The crowd will be huge but GS can't expect the crowd to win the game for them like they thought they would for a huge chunk of game four

you're right about that. i will be pissed about game six if we don't win but i was very happy to have been able to go to game five (i don't have game seven tix) and see the mavs play hard and i had a great time at the game. i expect to win game six but if we don't, i still expect dirk to have a great game (he had 50 against the warriors last season and we lost) to at least redeem himself a bit more.
