    Or should I say, This Spring.




    sure is, and the suns always seem to make it right before june, sometimes they're late and come in a couple of days after, but we certainly can expect them no later than the first week of june....of course, to ronmexico, that is an accomplishment

    That's because people are dumbasses and only casual observers of basketball. The media is in it solely for ratings and will play the 1-8 seed thing until it's dead. Dirk's no-show is a huge story and I agree that it should be dissected and bashed for awhile until nobody cares, but the Mavs' loss itself shouldn't be as surprising as some are making it out to be. Anyone who follows the NBA, has followed Davis' career, who knows how well the Warriors have played when all their players are healthy, and who knows how much the Warriors have been the only team to really rankle the Mavs these last two years, should know better but they'd rather follow the hype about the loss because it's more fun to talk smack, that's part of the reason people watch sports, to talk smack and chest thump.

    Ponky,

    Why didn't the Mavs try to eliminate GS from the playoffs in that last reg season game? It seems pretty important now.

    The Maverick fans who aren't really upset today are those who have resigned themselves to the fact that Dallas= Choking- end of every play off story.

    Big mistake by Avery. Guy's going to make a few mistakes, young coach. I'd love to know what he was thinking by resting the guys, like if it was just to rest the guys or also to psycheout the Warriors and make them think that matching up against them in the playoffs was not going to faze the Mavs. Hindsight is great but does nothing for you when you have to make a decision unless you remember it next time...and Avery will, he's smart enough to work through it and change some things.

    yeah, that's me, ignorant mavs fan who will blindly root for her team year in and year out because i know they'll choke every year after seeing it happen two years

    they choked in the finals last year, this year they just got plain beat down by a team that his their number, no room to choke because they were never up in the series

    oh i'm not changing my teams, i'm sticking with the mavs but i don't just turn off the tube and stop watching the nba playoffs when my team gets bumped, i'm ultimately a big fan of the nba. i have to pick some team to root for when watching a game, otherwise it's no fun. they aren't going to be *my team* by any means, i just root for them during the series, depending on the matchup.

    I wasn't targeting you with my comment. I am sure Mavs have some die hard fans= though for the life of me I don't know why.
    ( Sorry, can't seem to help myself )

    About you guys getting beat:
    The Mavericks can play- they just didn't this series. When Golden State won it was in great part because they out hustled your team and Dirk ( likely others) didn't perform to even half their potential.

    Call it what you like- choking, under acheiving, quitting- your boys did really badly and will be hearing about it for a long time.

    You were applauding him for doing it though! And then ripping on the Suns for trying to beat the Rockets and losing!

    Anyone watch Chuck and Co. Rag Mark Cuban for saying there wasn't anything personal in the loss against Nellie, like how it's akin to seeing his friends who are going out with his ex-girlfriends?

    Thanks. I am so proud of the Raps- they had a tremendous season.

    Why don't you root for the Spurs with us. You might even want to keep them.

    it just seems inconceivable to me that this year's loss doesn't hurt more than the finals loss. they were the presumptive favorites, had beaten every other team and enjoyed some psychological benefit of that, and, if we are to believe them, thought they honestly were better than golden state. everything that made the finals loss so painful also applied to this year's loss except this year had the added ignomity of such a high record and becoming the first no 1 to lose to a no 8. what's more, there is no shame in losing in the finals, almost regardless of how it happens, because at least the team showed enough heart and talent to make it that far get their chance. the only team that could talk down to the finals runners up were the winners, but the others weren't good enough to make it. at least with the finals situation, the mavs could claim being naive about the pressure of the finals, avery's inexperience, the shaq-wade combo, the refs, the toll of battling through phoenix and the spurs, just all sorts of reasons. here, the team just gets manhandled and never adjusts, never does the obvious put-dirk-on-the-block, barely played defense and flatout quits in the second half. the finals loss had its excuses but this series' loss becomes inexcusable.
