Surely they would have, but why not milk it for as long as possible? Avery went away from it too soon.
Now Mav Fan is telling Spurs fans to get out of a Spurs fan forum?
ya know Dirk said something last night in the press conference that was telling.
"We have alot of pressure coming into this series, and they have none, now after tonight we have even more, and we have to figure out how to handle it"
Dirk, dude, FIGURE OUT HOW TO HANDLE IT!??!?
I think if you shot some truth syrum into em, you're gonna hear alot of people say "I think the mavericks can lose this series"

if you werent a troll and payed attention to this forum all year, you'd understand why udrih is there.And you take sides with a guy with Beno Udrih for his picture? Ok...
GTFO!!!!
because when its all said and done they have the better horses.not ok yet. what makes you think the Mavs are capable of winning in 7?
They have more experience, and they have the mvp.
I mean that should win against an 8 seed right?
Yeah, but any team CAN lose any series. Don't you think the Spurs CAN lose the series to the Nuggets? It's our jobs as fans to use the word CAN in this case instead of WILL.
Well pop does the same thing, and its when he goes to Manu or Duncan.Surely they would have, but why not milk it for as long as possible? Avery went away from it too soon
Or in your guy's case, Dirk or Howard.
Angry Johnson ed up because he changed his lineup which had been working all season long for the mavs. what a ing moron.
Now they have to go back to square 1 to prepare for Warriors. The bad thing about that is that they are in a 0-1 hole.
Spurs don't have to go back to square 1. they already know what would work to beat the Nuggets.
I said the spurs could lose way back a couple weeks ago when it was evident that the Nuggets were the matchup.Yeah, but any team CAN lose any series. Don't you think the Spurs CAN lose the series to the Nuggets? It's our jobs as fans to use the word CAN in this case instead of WILL
Nellie built the Warriors to beat the Mavs. Just like the Mavs are built to beat the Spurs. They create amazing mismatches. Nellie's small ball team causes havoc for the Mavericks at almost every position. The key is for the Mavs to win is they have to find the position they can exploit and pound the ball there offensively.
Just like the Spurs right now with the Nuggets .. Denver causes a lot of problems for the Spurs in matchups. But there's a couple positions that the Spurs can dominate offensively. One is Ginobili - the Nuggets don't have anyone who can try to guard him. The Spurs need to focus on Manu aggressively attacking offensively.
No matter what doomsday it seems for Spurs/Mavs - the series are 7 games. I knew Nellie's GS team would rattle the Mavs but AJ is very good at adjusting.

if they go back to the other lineup, the warriors could smoke em just as easil as they did in game 1.
Dallas will lose in 6 because they don't have any rings.
It is easy. Dirk hitting some 3s and it is all over. Simple as possible.
He's onto something here...
wow such great circular arguments in this thread.....I think I'll bow out respectively....
This series is so dangerous for the Spurs because late in games if it is close they have 2 guys that are basically unstoppable on offense and can win the Nuggets the game. Spurs as a team are much better and need to physically grind these games out for 3 qtrs with their D and hammer them inside with Duncan so come 4th qtr the Nuggets don't have much left.
just like the Mavs in round 1?
good idea you do that.
Dirk has to play as a bigman in this series with the matchups that are there.It is easy. Dirk hiting some 3s and it is all over. Simple as posible
THATs another reason, that Golden state can win this.
it forces Dirk to be a good defender and rebounder.
Rebounder yeah, but hes not an around the basket defender like duncan is.
Thats another reason why Golden state won by such a margin last night.
play the best perimiter defender in basketball more minutes than a bench guy's minutes, and you can win.This series is so dangerous for the Spurs because late in games if it is close they have 2 guys that are basically unstoppable on offense and can win the Nuggets the game.

The Mavs aren't going to come up with a magical defensive solution that will stop the Warriors. They will need to find something that works well for them on offense and force the Warriors to adjust. Perhaps that will help force the Warriors to change their rotations and cool them off on the offensive end. I don't really see that. Maybe the Mavs try to pound the ball inside, but their low post threats aren't all that great. This is a true nightmare for Cuban and AJ.
I expect Mavs will put Howard on Baron in the next game, because he's their best defender. George can't contain him, but should be able to do OK on Jax or whoever else gets hot. I also expect the Mavs should be able to win the series, but I do think that their problem is a lot different than the Spurs. When was the last time we saw a team that won 67 wins in the regular season completely revamp their starting roster and gameplan to face an 8 seed? The Mavs need to be worried about the Warriors, because they give them a lot of serious problems.
On the other hand, the Spurs ALMOST WON LAST NIGHT (they were within 2 pts in less than minute) despite Manu, Tim, and Tony all playing subpar games. I said it before, Manu is the real key to the series. Tim has to be aggressive and back Camby and Nene down, but Manu is the real key to winning. He'll come back strong in the next game, I predict. So unlike the Mavs, the Spurs really don't have to adjust their whole style of play or lineup -- they just have to stay focused on what has always been successful for them.
I don't understand those arguing that Avery should have went big. I saw a bit of the game and he played Diop (a Big) at the center who ended up getting something like 3 fouls in very limited time. It doesn't work because he's matched up against a very small, quick "guard" on the inside.
I personally thought it was smart of AJ to start Devean George. His size, speed, defense can match up better with GS. If Stackhouse who normally is instant offense for the Mavs (and who I think is the mismatch for the Warriors) makes a couple shots, Mavs could easily have been in this game and won it. I don't expect that to continue.
GS don't play good enough defense when their offense isn't flowing which is going to be their downfall.
I do find it ironic that this series, AJ is doing the same mistake Pop did against him last season: Going small/changing your lineup to match the other team instead of having it the other way around.
I think you make some good points. However, the problem with Ginobili is that he will need to go to the rack to dominate offensively and Denver has 2 very good bigs in Camby and Nene' who will block his shot. San Antonio needs to get Camby and/or Nene' in foul trouble to have a shot a winning the series. They might be able to do that by constantly pounding it inside. We'll see.
Spurs and Mavs will both win their respective series. Book it.
Good call. You say to let him shoot, but then chalk up his percentages to being open. mFFL logic for ya...
The Mavs could go with the old standby and try to screen roll the Warriors to death.
