You really must stop bringing facts into these discussions. People lose track of their narratives.
Actually, about 24%, but who's really counting?

In all honesty, I'm never scared of Dallas.
I used to have dreams, and now...I have s s of dreams...
Ian Mahimni gives me the chills.
Both the Mavs and Spurs are flawed. Lakers should have it in the bag.![]()
i think 95% of those 3's come from straight execution not necessity, no stars, or go to guys on this team, just passing and finishing the play, every position can do multiple things, this is a defensive minded team running more, unlike the Mavs who r and offensive team desperately trying to be defensive and tough. What r the mavs gonna do when Dirk can't drain shots or get the looks he wants. We can go to Tim, and have Tony, and Manu to drive. wait Mavs got Butler wait no Boubua will save the day....IDK u tell me, and we have one off the highest point diff's in the league evidence of a defensive team...soooooo yeaaaaa
Chokewitzki appears again..late turnover...
r u being sarcastic? ummmm 06 finals? ummmmm 07 1st seed vs 8th seed? ummmmm loaded rosters? ummmmm gay but good owner? WHERE DA RINGS @? WHERE R THEY IDK maybe again its yall's year, from what I hear this is the best team ya ever put on the floor.....swear to god I think I hurd that before.
ya suckahs just wait and see Tyson and all the add ons will amount to Antwan Walker, Keith Van Horn, Jamison and all the others they added swearing this was the one player that would push em over the hill, the same hill the SPURS have gotten over like 4 times I think....I think idk u tell me

Dallas is not better when Dirk passes instead of shooting and Terry shoots instead of passing. See tonight's game as an example.![]()
Awesome![]()
Someone find this eunuch a pair.
Dallas is scary. They got all the pieces.
Do I think they are better? Just defensively. I don't think we are a good defensive team.
I think our record is better than our team really is. Defensively, we're not great. In the past when we've won championships we've been able to lock teams down defensively. I don't think we can anymore.
I don't think that means we can't we a championship with this team though. I think the road to the finals will be as tough as it ever has been. Top 4 are legit contenders. Denver, Memphis, Portland, and NO are all tough outs and more than capable of upsets.
Lakers - Size hurts us, esp with the way Bynum is playing inside.
Dallas - so many different/difficult matchups. Person who really makes things tough though is Chandler. He gives them that added element.
NO - Durant/Westbrook are tough covers. Perkins finally gives them an inside presence.
Dallas looks great...on paper...but they are chokers...ringlessness is their destiny, just like the Suns...
They still lack a constant second scoring option.
Nuclear meltdowns in Japan give me chills. Dallas is just a basketball team.
dont worry about it, the mavs wont make it to the WCF
Once again, Cuban has built a very formidable roster - chocked full of talent. So much talent, in fact, that it will be hard for Carlisle to find minutes for them all.
However as usual, it's become apparent again that the Mavs are simply not a mentally tough ball club - regardless of who is on the roster. Their defense has totally fallen off from where it began the season. Along with their penchant for losing big leads during games and routinely allowing the opposition back into the game, they've also suffered recent losses to seeminlgy inferior teams (Grizzlies, Hornets).
In this latest loss, the Fakers frontline absolutely destroyed them, despite the Mavericks considerable size upgrades.
Despite their obvious talent and depending on who they're matched up against, it's hard to believe the Mavs will be nothing more than first-round fodder again.
Perhaps Carlisle knew what he was talking about when he declared his team as "soft", last week.
I aint scurred of no Dallas no way no how.
Have you watched any Spurs games this year scroh?
His point is exaggerated, but San Antonio--more than any other "elite" team--needs their outside shots to fall b/c they really have on other contingency plan. No low-post threats to get consistent high % shots.
Over a 7-game series the game slows to a crawl and teams will stuff the lanes on drives to the baskets.
I second that emotion.
As for the Mavs, the only team in the West that truly concerns me is the Fakers.
