God Fin, act your age and not like the other 12 year old vagina hurt Mavs fans, your better than that.

What about Dirk shooting as many FT's as the entire Spurs team do you not get?
Takin' it like a champ!
Congratulations on the win tonight.
Props.
Nope, I don't. I think it's great and a good sign we won this game with Parker and Ginobili sucking ass. But I'm not going to discount the Mavericks because of won win in late February.
[QUOTE]I agree the Spurs have continuity that we lack. That's the risk you take when you bring in Jason Kidd with 30 games left in the regular season. It's going to take about 10-15 games for us to really get some on-court chemistry going, for guys to adjust to having a PG like him that can get them the ball like he does. Plus, we're way more turnover-prone right now because of the adjustment to Kidd. Part of that is running more with Kidd and botched fastbreaks. Part of that is guys just not being alert enough to receive his passes. The former probably can't be fixed but the latter will.
Duncan never had anyone to slow him down before. He averaged 32 and 15 in the playoffs against us. You don't stop Duncan, you make him work hard, you rotate bodies on him, one of which was in street clothes, and you rotate back to cover the shooters when he passes out of a double team. Manu and Parker had off-shooting nights, so did Dirk and Terry. Not all that much has changed between the two teams. Should we meet in May, that series will go at least 6 and most likely 7 games.Plus, Duncan has no one to slow him down now. He practically used Damp's chest to pass it back to himself in crunch time.
Spurs shot 45.7% from the field while the Mavs shot 43.2%.
For the season-to-date, the Spurs are shooting 45.8% while the Mavs are shooting 46.2%, so the Spurs' D was a little better tonight. The Spurs are also holding their opponents to 44.9% from the field while the Mavs are holding theirs to 44.8%.
The Mavs played well, they're a solid team. The only thing im not convinced of is that they're better after the trade then they were before.
game could of gone either way. I do honestly agree that the spurs had they played better could of won more comfortably at least by 10.
What about not settling for jumpers and driving to the basket do you not get? How many times was he fouled out on the arc, besides Horry running into him on the three attempt? He was aggressive even though his shot wasn't falling. Superstars that play aggressively get calls. Get over it.
Both teams played hard.
This thread is a 12 year old vagina thread and you know it. You guys get bragging rights for one night, and I'd have to give the slight edge to San Antonio in a seven game series, but we're not "done."
Both teams played hard.
So Dirk received 21 trips to the line and the Mavs still couldn't win.
Guys we should just accept the fact the Mavs will win it all. Despite the fact that AJ thinks he's better off on the bench at crunch time, it's clear having Jason Kidd riding the pine in the fourth while Dirk chokes the game away (when he's not trying to mug down with Dampier at the last second) is going to put them over the top.
We just need to accept and appreciate the greatest we are seeing before us
Dirk didn't have an off shooting night
AJ just whined - he said Dirk got his jersey pulled in one of the last plays.
Don't start with that . I'm sorry, but you guys ed about the same stuff when it happened to Dallas with Wade. And Wade drove more than Dirk. Mavs fans would singing a different tune if Duncan got 21 fts.
it was a great game, but the fouls against dirk were rediculous...
a lot of discrepancies in the game, I still feel that the mavs were better last year tho.
You should learn how to count, this is only Dirk's 10th season.
Both teams played hard.
The refs didn't cost us the Finals. And Duncan getting 21 FTAs would be about right if we hadn't doubled as much. The Spurs, especially Finley, knocked down their open shots when Duncan passed out.

[QUOTE=Findog]Good point. As much as I liked the signs from this win, it's still a February game.

Duncan got easier shots than he did in the past against the Mavs with the Diop-Damp tandem. Usually it would slow down our tempo, and help contribute to our come from behind wins. In this game he was on, and the rest of the team was off, but we were right there in scoring pace with you guys. I don't see him working as hard against the Mavs in a series even with Magloire as another big.
Irk NoRingski. See what I did there?
Agreed, a 7 game series would be a war. The only thing i've really pointed out is that you lost a lot more D with that trade than you realize. And i dont feel that it's going to make you a better team. Kidd's D will reveal its ugly self against Tony at 100% and/or Chris Paul if you meet the Hornets.
