Spurs/Dallas Series

[LEONARD]

That is correct.

Wow...

[mavs>spurs2]

That is correct.

You're ing delusional. If anything it's the other way around. The mavs are the superior team and the only way they lose is if they choke.

[Agloco]

I thought Mavs fans were all about nutting over their regular season exploits.......

Now all of a sudden theres a difference between the regular season and playoffs eh?

Convienent

Where are these Mavs fans you're referring to??

All around you of course........

I suppose you'll tell me that I was also imagining the thread about the greatest 56 game stretch in history
right?

I'm just waiting for Mavs fans to dig up some more odd .......

You're both delusional. Neither team would be considered a choker if they lost to the other. Both teams are the class of the league.

It's not so as either of them are going out against Houston or LA........ THAT would be chokage

in which I CLEARLY stated that the Mavs recent stretch doesn't really mean anything... (ie, the playoffs are all that matter)

Of course it means nothing, but it's still pretty damn cool...

Of course it's about the playoffs...anybody that says otherwise, or acts like the Mavs have a championship wrapped up in any way, is a f'ing moron...

the 56 game stretch can't be argued...and Mavs fans didn't create the story. ESPN.com did...

spurs would choke against mavs just like in ot of game 7 last year.

but it would be in 5-6 games this year because we are better and the spurs are worse.

Blah blah blah, just spewing out

That's why I said IF ANYTHING it'd be the other way around. I wouldn't consider either team a choker for losing to the other unless they blew like a 3-1 lead or something like that.

I agree with that, the only team I would find acceptable losing to would be the Mavs

Pro tip: Losing isn't the same as choking

[GrandeDavid]

SA won't get the 4 seed.

The way that the Mavs have played all year would lead me to believe that they are on a mission and will accept nothing but the Championship. The Spurs have turned it on lately, but they have not done well vs the Mavs this year.

Every game vs the two teams ... EVERY GAME .... Has added meaning for both teams. In every game this year, there has been "Playoffs aptmoshere" and "Playoff intensity". No one on this board, that saw the games, could deny that.

The Mavs have won the last two after dropping the first, That would make them 2-1 at this moment ... Project that out and you get 4-2

Further, I cannot see any team winning more then two games vs the Mavs this year (Unless they are named the Warriors ). They have just been too good for too long this year to be overlooked. Spurs are playing better, but alot of teams this year were "playing better" before facing the Mavs ... better vs the rest of the League, and Better against the top teams in the League are two different things.

Considering that the Spurs should never have been allowed the opportunity to go to OT in the first place (read: Which team choked?), I would hardly call it a choke on the Spurs part.

Both teams are good. You've gotta give up that crack pipe if you think a series between Dallas and SA will go any less than 6.

Spurs haven't done well against the Mavs? Is not so as the Mavs have dominated them eh?

We're supposed to extrapolate a post season result from 3 regular season games eh?

I'm not even going to mention that theres a fourth game to be played between these teams........

I'm not sure I can take anything away from your analysis.....

Domination and winning are two different things. You can beat someone all the time and be dominate.

Are you trying to say that those games were played without any "desire to win" by either club?

When these two teams meet, you have to look at the last time they met in the playoffs as well, as thats what every fan will point to. "Its the only time that the games matter"

I'm not even going to mention that theres a fourth game to be played between these teams........

Thats because nobody knows what will happen in it, If we did, I would look at the result and still give more wieght to the playoffs last year ..... As the Spurs and Mavs both say "Its all that matters"

I'm not sure I can take anything away from your analysis.....

I am certain that as a Spurs fan, you don't agree with anything not saying "Spurs will win a close series"

[mFFL03]

Sorry, that houston team is going to come into its own in the next 2 weeks....

[LEONARD]

I'm re-reading it and looking for all these people " ing" over it...I'm not seeing it though?

It's a REGULAR SEASON ACCOMPLISHMENT and nothing more. Mavs fans know that...

If the Spurs set that record, it wouldn't be posted here? Give me a f'ing break. If ANY team did that, it would've been posted here...

[Supergirl]

As much as it would be AWESOME if the Mavs got knocked off by the Warriors, I don't think it would happen, b/c I don't think the Warriors would win in Dallas at all. However, they could hold HC and push the Mavs to 7 games, and that would be pretty cool.

I have said all season that as good as they are, in a 7 game series the Spurs will still prevail.

[Clutch20]

Nothing profound, but funny to me, doesn't the poll graph look somewhat like a colorful "shootin' the finger" , ya got the little pinky being Houston and my gosh, would you see which team is leading the parade?!!!
