This games means more to Dallas than the spurs ...yall SHOULD win ...but i excpect a great game ...I just hope my Lakers put a whuppin' on the HEAT after our last game was closer than need be ...
I still say the Spurs should focus on him, Avery is still going to go to him at the beginning of the game. He'll make them if you give him room and he does well against the Spurs most of the time so I don't like the idea of not focusing on him in the first. The Spurs just need to come out with energy and intensity and be on the attack. I can understand them wanting to save energy but that can be done in games against ty teams. Against the good teams you have to come out aggressively or you're going to lose every time. The Spurs came out aggressive against the Hornets and it paid off. Same idea, different team. I like our chances better if we get get the Mavs out of rhythm in the first.

All I keep reading is how the Mavericks can do this and that. How they need confidence to go into the playoffs. Let me remind you with the team they use to have prior to Kidds arrival (which was a better team by the way) doesn't measure up to the SPURS. The only addition the SPURS made is Kurt Thomas and Brent Barry coming back (same team that won the Champioship last year) is what will put them over the top. By the way, the Mavericks should have never got to the Finals if it wasn't for a dumb foul on Manu. The SPURS own the Mavericks in the playoffs, and who can forget them gettting beat by the Warriors, what a series by those guys. The Mavericks will lose in the first round this year count on it. WHY you ask, its simple: htey do not have an interior defense. Magliore has no experience and no one can stop TDuncan. Who will stop KURT and TImmY down low. Pop will utilize both soon, and when he does, the ret of the team will play good defense. It's ironic that their defense is first after the ALL-Star break. HMMMM, and when Kurt Thomas kicks in, oh my, oh my. Watch out, because the SPURS wil get their respect again. Period.
This is an opinion but clearly not a fact.
The Mavs are better overall with Kidd. What you guys don't see, because you don't get to see all the games, is that Kidd has injected New Life into this team. He has made it fun to play basketball again. He has energized the entire team (minus Howard who has been injured) This team is so much more energized both mentally and physically it is unbelievable. Kidd has already made Dampier better than he has ever been the prevous 3 years. And guys like Stack, Jett and Dirk, who you wouldnt think it would matter too are all on cloud 9. They are all into it now.
Watch closely how the Mavs move the ball tonight and how much enthusiasm they have. You will be surprised.
And with the addition of Jamal Magloire to replace Diop we don't have to worry about Damps fouls and with Stackhouse back from his injury we are good off the Bench with Stack, George, Bass and Magloire
If Josh Howard's back is okay you guys will be in trouble tonight.
And please, don't talk about the Spurs "owning" the Mavs in the Playoffs.
I think we have played a total of 13 playoff games against each other in the last 5 seasons. The Spurs have won 7 and the Mavs 6. Hardly "owning" and 3 of those Spurs wins came when Dirk injured his knee in 2002 and missed the games.
Now if you want to talk about "owning" you might want to talk about the regular season match-ups over the last 3 years. I think the Mavs have won over 60% of those games.
IMO Mav fans have no reason to be y, given our struggles on the road this season (14-16), we're still working in Kidd and we have to play the best team in the league in their gym. I've been heartened by how much better they seem to be playing since the trade, but they haven't really been tested yet. With a stretch of @ SAS, vs. SAC, @ LAL and @ Utah in five nights, we're about to get that test. I'll take 2-2 in that stretch and count us lucky.
41times:
Let me reitterate your last.
The Mavs are better overall with Kidd. Please, he got rocked by a younger Chris Paul and when he does have a good game it's agains a gaurd he can't play defense and is old. Parker up one on him.
He may inject life, but he won't be able to with Parker gaurding him. Scratch that idea.
Watch closely how the Mavs move the ball tonight and how much enthusiasm they have. You will be surprised.
I will watch closely, they will a few times, but it's because of Parker or any faster gaurd playing defense. Having Kidd on your team may make your team better, just ask the Nets. Cmon he was in the EAST, now in the West, he will come back to reality, just like when Parker owned him in the 2003 NBA finals. Period.

Let me reitterate for you, the spurs own the playoff series. Period. forget the amount of games, that don't count. For crying out loud you guys were up 3-0 in the finals against Miami. Go figure and lost to Golden State, the Mavericks can't finish a team.
Regular season only counts in seeding not whose owning who. My bad on that comparison. You shouldn't talk about regular season, seeing how the MAVS had the best record and, well you know what happened to them in the first round. Case closed. MAvericks can't talk anymore. Let's not forgot about your boy Josh Howard calling a timeout in the finals against Miami. Oh, I can't wait to see him. Balee that.
Is anyone going to the game?
I hope some fans bring "COME BACK, MANGO TREE" signs..
I'd do it but I'm stuck in Sin City
I happen to have tickets to the game. I think "Bring back the Mango Tree "would be a great sign. Not sure how good tickets are though, just know they are $80 tickets. Ill definitly be yelling to bring back the mango tree.
Rather be on the upper deck in a way though. Last time i had great tickets, Id get up and yell and people around would like at me like an idiot. Not like that on the upper deck. Wish I knew exactly where these seats are.
You like man love conversations Reverend?
It starts on page 17 with bonesinaz telling T Park she's a woman.
It weaves through a few pages after that.
Have fun.

Damn, game not on LPBB as per usual...
For Argies aboard: in case you don't have Directv League Pass, Channel 7 (ATC) will show this, live!
It's on TNT, LP doesn't usually have them when it's a national game, do they?Damn, game not on LPBB as per usual...
The only downside is that game starts 11:00 pm, Argentina time. Damn summer daylight saving! All NBA games start way too late to stay awake 'till the 4th quarter.
No, but that's absolutely no help to LPBB subscribers outside the US, and that's what pisses me off.
They should put it on LPBB for overseas subscribers (ie. non-US IP addresses)...
It seems like a lot of Spurs games don't make it to LPBB which makes my life as a fan more difficult than it should be. The NBA has no idea how to treat their non-US fans.
I live in Corpus (2 hours away from San Antonio) and they won't let us by league pass because the distance is so short. I guess everyone has the time and money to drive up to San Antonio for all the Spurs gamesNo, but that's absolutely no help to LPBB subscribers outside the US, and that's what pisses me off.

I think the Mavs have a good shot at winning this one. It certainly means alot more to them than Spurs. Spurs lose and this board will go crazy but the Spurs will chalk it down as another loss in a long season.
If the Mavs win it, they'll be ok going forward. If they lose it, better luck next year Mavs, Kidd wasn't enough.
Gut check time, it's going to be a great game.
What a sad statement for a league with so many international players and so determined to push the globalization of the game.The NBA has no idea how to treat their non-US fans.
Let's go Spurs!
