Mavs winning doesn't bother me tbh
5 still superior to 2.... so.... yeah
And we will eventually win a couple more with Wemby (if the FO doesn't up and I have deactivated my jinx powers)
I didn't have Dallas in the WCF up until they caught fire to close the regular seasonMy POs predictions for the West have been utter tbh... I got wrong almost everything
Never bet against a team with good momentum going into the playoffs
But yeah before tht I had Nuggs, Pups and Clips (lol)
Do Mavs complete the sweep without Lively? I think he's more important than Gafford, by a hair, but it's the combination of the two and the constant threat of fresh-er legs for yet another lob when the other one sits that really hurts teams thus far.
true but the Spurs can since Wemby is on a rookie deal while we can frontload extensions and have ATL picks up to 27 alowing us to have even more players on rookie contracts. We just gotta nail our draft picks.
Lots to consider. Would love for BOS to win and see DAL and LAL fanbases in shambles. BOS winning really doesn't change the le race landscape at all for non Lakers fans league wide and Spurs fans specifically. Do not want DAL to have 2 Mavs are the Spurs rivals and 1 was bad enough.
More I think about it gotta feel like the league actually wouldn't want to disrupt the LA BOS 17/17 tie whereas I also think the league would not want BOS to lose two recent trips to the Finals either. So it's difficult to reconcile.
But with the Kyrie back in BOS narrative I could see the league wanting DAL to be the champ.
-Luka is a better FMVP than anyone on BOS Tatum would be a weak FMVP imho
-preserves the LA BOS le count tie storyline at 17/17
-Kyrie returns to BOS and punks them storyline is rich
-encourages Euro product expansion
Go T Wolves back door sweep!
Bend over, I'll show you a back door sweep.
(I think I did it correctly)
Serious question why is the donkey allowed to openly and aggressively taunt his opponents?
What’d ya have Spurs in the play in?My POs predictions for the West have been utter tbh... I got wrong almost everything
Just wanted to interject that I don't view DAL as our rivals. As a franchise, we are a clear class above them. The Spurs, Celtics and Lakers are the elite franchises in the NBA everyone else falls in the tiers below. The Lakers are, and will continue to be, our main rival. Dallas is a cute team that from time to time gives us a little bit of headache. I put them in the same category as OKC and Memphis in that regard. I'd put Houston in a higher rivalry class than Dallas. We don't have too much of a direct history with GSW (though 1991 and 2017 playoffs specifically come to mind), but I'd even put them ahead of Dallas.
How I view franchises:
1. All time W/L record (Spurs, Celtics, Lakers - in that order - hold the highest win % and are pretty significantly ahead of the #4 team, Utah). This metrics keeps teams like GSW (below .500) and Chicago (.509) from being in a higher tier.
2. Number of les. Lakers and Celtics have a leg up on us here, but largely based on the pre-history of a league that had 6 or 8 teams and was full of dentists and plumbers. Since 1980, only the Lakers and Bulls have more. This metric prevents teams like the Jazz, Suns or Thunder (the 4, 5 and 6 teams in all time Win %) from being more highly regarded.
3. Sustained history of success. The Spurs, Lakers and Celtics have a history of success across multiple generations, not just one. A team like Chicago, for example, has never really done anything without #23.
4. Historically significant players. The Spurs have a mul ude of HOF players across multiple generations. The Mavericks only really have 1 who built his career and reputation with the team (Dirk). Kidd and Nash spent most of his career (including their best years) on other teams. Every other Mavs HOF player just had some end of career years there.
5. Head to head rivalry. Spurs-Mavs might be fun regular season matchups... but we've played more significant games (in the regular season and post season) against other teams. Manu did gift the Mavs their first finals appearance in 2006 though.
We may be the Mavs rival, but they are not ours.
Edit: corrected typo in #3 to say "without" instead of "with"

WTF!?!
(snark snark GOTCHA!!!)
*Without #23, my apologies
With Wemby we can actually close in on the Lakers and Celtics when it comes to NBA les. We might be able to get to 12...
Towns is so low IQ. Would make a great member for our current team.
Or your household!
Total moving screen and additional arm hook by Keebler.
Foul instead called on Goober.
Bogus
Thank God we had Duncan and Robinson not Towns and Gobert.
Lively has the 2nd best +/- for a rookie in the playoffs, behind the most underrated GOAT of all-time, tbh.
Im at the six minute mark Q3. Was not even sure about the foul on Towns he was shooting but is a definite klutz.
Gafford swat of Goober called goaltending because it any part of the ball over the cylinder in American ball is a no no?
Stupid rule. Should adopt the Euro rule on 'tending.
Any team playing Kyle Anderson in the playoffs deserves to lose.
Doncic defense is so terrible not sure why teams don’t pick on him all night.
In the good old days they would let you hit it if it was close and looked like it was coming out.
Lucky ugly bas is finally making his threes. You throw enough on the wall, something is bound to stick. Still low IQ.
