Hollinger picks spurs in 6

[Findog]

Dice wasn't in San Antonio last year,

What's he gonna do? Shut down Dirk?

and honestly, I didn't think it was Dirk who hurt us, it was JHo playing like Jordan every time we played. Terry hitting every floater he threw on the run. Also scrub players like Barea and Bass outplaying our scrubs like Finley, Mason and Bonner...

Dirk hurt you because the Spurs were committed to not letting him beat you and that opened up the floor for his teammates. You think if they stayed home on everybody else that Josh would burn you on those bum ankles? Seriously?

[Oh, Gee!!]

i pick the spurs in 7, but I'd prefer 6 obviously

No, but unlike Bonner, he can atleast play him straight up. Furthermore, he can rebound the misses.

Barea and Bass did most of their damage with Dirk sitting on the bench...
But regardless, our FO acknowldged we were lacking talent and that's exactly why we brought up Dice and RJ, plus this season we have other contributors like Blair and Hill, the last one barely playing last season.
You can't assume we're going to play Dirk the same as last season, because we simply have different personnel than we did a year ago. Much like I know Dallas won't play us the same considering we have much different talent than last season.

(And the Spurs will probably plan differently because Dallas isn't the same team of last season either)

Crystal ball!

Actually I used a super computer to analyze Dirk's face and it spit out there is only a 0.34398430984% probability Dirk's face will ever be championship material.

And BTW, what I think makes this series very interesting is that there are a lot of IFs on both teams. We know what TD and Dirk can give you. We know somewhat what Parker, Manu, Kidd and Terry could potentially give you. But I'm not sure how other guys are going to respond to the playoffs and the intensity of a series like this one. On Dallas, Haywood and Butler could be major or could be busts. On SA, RJ and Dice Are a big unknown. Guys like Roddy in Dallas could end up being a difference maker, and so is Blair for SA.

No surprise from Trollinger.

It's not "your" theory. It's been pretty accepted for awhile now in most basketball circles that PD is a more accurate predictor of playoff success than wins and losses.

Actually, I couldn't agree more. I only referred to it as "my" theory because I've been in lots of discussions with other Spursfans over the season pointing out how accurate it is and have actually had to go to some lengths to defend it. If it has any merit, there's not a better playoff pairing than this one to test it out.

Maybe in a "let's prove Hollinger right for once" theme..........

Exactly
