Methinks SpursDynasty doth protest too much.
San Marcos is strangely a neutral ground for Texas basketball teams. Pretty decent mix of SA, Houston and Dallas fans here despite it being like only 30 minutes outside of SA. I've always found it odd that San Marcos is having a threeway with the Texas NBA teams but Austin is predominantly Spurs fans.
Methinks SpursDynasty doth protest too much.
If there are any Rockets or Mav fans in the central Texas area, they're most likely students at UT, Trinity, UTSA, SWT and/or stayed on after graduation. That was at least my experience. Watched a lot of Spurs games broadcast locally in Austin.
Just letting him know it's not me so he doesn't get the satisfaction of actually thinking he told me I look like a bag after supposedly seeing a picture of me.
That guy is just a random stranger randomly looking like a , just like he's supposed to randomly do. No surprises there.
Friendly advice: Quit while you're ahead.
Yeah, Dirk owns plantar fasciitis and smallball. When's the parade?
Actually, I know you're a bag and I've never even seen you.
C'mon, Timmy threw down 32 and 13 in that series, in the lockerroom after G7, he said "That's the best series I've ever played," and you're still going with the 'Timmy was hobbled' meme?
Dirk never got past the Spurs before. Actually, Timmy having PF wasn't enough by itself. It also took a Parker injury and Pop ing the rotation in order for it to happen.
We've taken 8 out of the past 12 from you guys. What was the excuse over that span of time? Spurs have 4 les, Mavs have 0, but surely you can admit that these two teams are pretty much neck-and-neck when they play each other?
Avery "messed up" our rotation against Golden State, but I wouldn't use that as an excuse. Also, the Spurs fought back and won two straight to tie the series after going small. I think Pop realized Duncan and spreading the floor with 4 shooters was the best way to win. And if JET keeps his hands off Finley's junk, that series probably ends in six games.
The Spurs just don't have a reliable answer for Dirk and Josh together. There's only one Bowen to go around, and Duncan/Oberto/Elson can't really guard either.
There is nothing TO quit. It's not me...what is there to quit?
Make that 7 out of 12. Tim getting tossed doesn't count.
Of course it doesn't. Actually, the Spurs have taken 12 out of the last 12, right, considering when we win it's a fluke?
I wish I could quit YOU SpursDynasty.
7 out of 11, that whole game doesn't count for either.
Wow, so the Bucks must be le contenders, too.
I wouldn't necessarily call a 7 game series, with 5 of those games being decided by 5 points or less, including 2 overtimes (including a no-call foul on a Duncan attempt in the closing of regulation in Game 7) as "The Spurs don't have an answer". Same with this season. No games were more than 5 point games. The Spurs won opening night in Dallas (like they were supposed to), got a no-call on a play that would have tied the game in the closing of the 2nd game (surprise surprise, a call in Dallas' favor), and Duncan got tossed in the last game for nothing.
Inflated Records and Inflated Generalizations = Dallas Fans
What does it say about Dirk, that his greatest achievement in his playoff career is winning a conference semifinal series?
If we're going to play the "if only" game, the Spurs win the series in six if Pop doesn't bench the centers after game 2. It took the Spurs two and a half games to figure out how to play small. Even learning on the fly, they almost pulled the series out, which is still amazing to me. I'm still surprised the Mavs didn't close it out in five, because they shouldn't have had a chance. This year, AJ didn't fundamentally change the way his team plays (and wins), and he didn't bench 20 percent of his team. The Mavs just ran into a team that owns them playing better ball. It happens from time to time.
Fortunately, team defense doesn't require being able to shut down individuals. Smallball's lack of same allowed the Mavs to shoot 80 percent in the first quarter of almost every game during that series. Dirk and Josh are great players. They haven't proven that they can do anything when it matters.
I thought his greatest career achievement came one round later.
If Pop hadn't gone small, it would've been more of the same after G2. I'm not sure exactly what you think Rasho and Nazr would've done that warranted them playing heavy minutes in that series.
Beat SA was far more impressive. Against Phoenix, Dallas was just beating a team they were supposed to beat (with thanks to SpursDynasty)
Well, point being, whether it was achieved by beating San Antonio and thus the win over Phoenix was a mere formality, or if Phoenix was a worthy opponent, Dirk's greatest career achievement is leading a team to a Finals berth, nothing more, nothing less. It ain't a le, but it's more than merely winning a series. OV was arguing that the win over SAS was a mere series win and nothing more. Leading a team out of the West is an achievement.
