I think its going to be a great series. My only question about this thread is why their is a double standard by some when looking at the regular season. Dallas has been great, yada yada yada, everyone will admitt that; but then say that the only thing that matters is the playoffs. On the other side you have the Spurs, who have put together their first significant streak of the season, and all of a sudden they are the king s of the world; an all out gelled defensively superior power house that will be unbeatable come playoff time. So if Mavs can't judge the regular season success that they are having this year as a litmus test, I don't see how the Spurs fan can use this little spurt as the be all, tell all moment in NBA history
Probably for the same reason that there are some Mavs fans, like nfuego, Dalhoop, Leonard and others who do the same to Spurs fans.How can you attribute this to all Mav fans? Why is it that every time a Mav fan posts something it becomes what all Mav fans think? This happens continually here. If you want to disagree or comment about a post then target the person that posted it.
it's not b/c of the confidence in the reg season - it's the confidence in the play of the Spurs supporting players. Our big 3 have been playing some of their best basketball ever this whole season. It's just now that the supporting cast has started to play - mainly elson, finley, barry and vaughn. If you're a Spurs fan watching these guys start to play together the way they are then you have to like what you see.
this thread has turned into a bunch of idiot bandwagon fans trolling. I will restate the fact Spurs will not lose this year to the mavs. Spurs team is more balanced and can attack teams and defend teams of all types this year. But the biggest difference is SPURS HAVE A CORE OF CHAMPS...true champs not wanna be champs...that is going to be the biggest difference
You are funny!! You are saying that the Mavs aren't balanced? and... I could go on but i cant stop laughing
What exactly are the mavs champs of again?
Until they get one, then we can still call your team, the Mav-Nots.
yeah, mavs are champs your funny! don't get me wrong you did "dominate" us in playoffs just like you did in the finals!!! GO SPURS GO!!! THE SPURS ARE TRUE CHAMPS!!!
same old
Lame thread.
Off to masturbate to the Sears catalog...
It's going to be this vicious cycle until the Mavericks actually win one and even be more convincing if they go through SA this year, should they happen to meet.
Didn't Hasslehoff's favorite fan just say to Laura Green that it don't mean anything until you win a ring.
That is why Spur Fan has you right now and will continue to fight this fight. That and that it indeed took a former Spur to get you to an elite level
Where do you get the idea that I crowned the Mavs champs in that last statement???? If we are talking about the basketball being played this year, I don't think that the Spurs can just write off the Mavs like they are nothing.What exactly are the mavs champs of again?

If you are talking about my screen name,, read my signature,,, either way that response makes no sense regarding anything we are talking about
I agree that the only way most spurs fans will acknowledge the Mavs as legitimate is after they win a ring. The mavs could go on and beat the Spurs in the playoffs for the next ten years in a row, and Spurs fans would still say they had a better team each and every year because they won rings X amount of years ago.It's going to be this vicious cycle until the Mavericks actually win one and even be more convincing if they go through SA this year, should they happen to meet.

I dont think Spurs Fan reasoning is very sound, but he has every reason to talk and fight back every step of the way, just like any Mav fan is and will do. What any mavs fan wants, more than anything else, is the championship, everything else is awesome, but not quite enough.
As for Avery, great coach that learned from a great coach; but hes not a Spur,, and He will end up being remembered as a Coach when all is said and done, not the Spurs PG
This year will be quite similar to 2001 to the spurs if the Mavs dont around blowing leads. A sweep or at most 5 games is what I really expect this series to be. It will have very little drama assuming the Mavs dont around.
Their worst nightmare is about to come true. After feeling that they made great strides last year (b4 choking to the Heat and after edging San Antonio), they now have a false sense of confidence that the regular season success will follow them into the playoffs.
Poor Dallas, they aren't going to reach the Finals this year and will have their hearts torn out by the Spurs. We're coming Dallas....and when we reach the Finals WE WILL FINISH the job and raise another Championship banner.
8 wins in a row means nothing compared to the fact that our defense is starting to take shape. We may even drop a few more reg season game. No worries. It's all about being the best in the second season.
Which is particularly scary considering that the Mavs have never been able to beat the Spurs during the playoffs.
.....wait.
Spurs fans are overconfident like crazy.
It's embarrassing.
Who cares if Mavs fans are overconfident, the team will never be. They refuse to discuss win streaks, they only consider teams with les as the big dogs, and they constantly remind everyone they haven't done anything yet.
False sense of confidence, my ass.
She said Spurs fans....
Mavs fans may be overconfident, but the team itself is not.
It sounds like you're the overconfident one...
What? I don't see anything wrong with what he said.
I was responding to the original post. I hadn't seen Kori's response.
Ah I got it now. Sorry about that.
Stupid.
Merged
Apparently I'm embarrassingly overconfident. Nice.... that's friggin weak.
Apparently some Spurs fans are really in awe of your Mavs. Perhaps you should make room on your bandwagon for them.
All year long the Spurs have had to hear how great the Mavs are and how the Spurs can't hang with them. Motivation, focus and effort wont be an issue. And despite some of their own fans' lack of confidence, they will return to the Finals.
Win or lose, the April game doesn't mean jack. I've been waiting all year for the Spurs to start coming around and now you can see signs of it.
Avery is doing everything he can to keep his team from becoming complacent. It's a comedy routine when he does the Galloway show. You can see it coming. Dominate in the regular season and ripe to be taken down in the playoffs.
