    I know Dallas is new to playing defense, but there is such a thing as great team defense that can make up for average or subpar individual defense.

    Will they shut Dirk down? No, of course not. Dirk is a great offensive player. Will Dirk have one of his best offensive series against the Pistons? Are you serious? It wouldn't surprise me to see Dirk average 25 pts on the Pistons in a seven game series. But, it will be on 20-25 shots and he'll shoot somewhere below the 45% FG percentage, more likely closer to 40%.

    That was just one game....wait until the end of the series to hark on the defense.
    Mavs fans get excited over winning a game Spurs and Pistons fans get excited over series wins.
    The Mavs' 15 minutes of fame are almost up.

    Sheed is not as quick as Dirk. That is a sick joke there. Sheed does nothing what Bowen is doing to Dirk. Bowen is 2x the speed of Sheed and much more relentless. Dirk will get his usual shots against Sheed like against any other team. Average 30 points and shoot 48%. The pistons really don't have that relentless defender like Bruce Bowen. Ben Wallace might be the closest they have but I'm sure you don't want Ben on the perimeter while Howard is slashing to the basket.

    Except over the last two seasons in four regular season games, Dirk's numbers against the Pistons are:


    24.3 ppg
    38.5% FG (30-97 FGM-FGA)

    Clueless.

    This isn't a one on one game. Pistons employ team defense. Dirk will have to "bully" his way through the 5 Pistons playing.

    Ask LeBron.

    Eversince? You call a one won game "eversince"? Come on, you know for a fact that Mavs have not won the series yet.

    Just one single game.

    This thread has detiorated.

    Mavs better worry about the Spurs.

    If/when they earn the right to play whomever wins the East, go over the matchups.

    Until then, stfu.

    not just this thread, the whole board. both mav and spur fans are way too defensive. and we're only 2 games in. on another note, the season finale of smallville is on tomorrow - ZOD IS COMING... (yes the show is dorky but i like it)

    If the Mavs team thinks they got this series won with just one game like all of their maggot followers on this forum, they're in for a rude awakening. Expect an enraged Spurs team on Saturday, gtfo with the trolling, and let's play some god damn basketball.

    Don't worry, there are a few Dallas "fans" here that you really have to question, too.

    [QUOTE=tlongII]Might happen.[/QUOTE=tlongII]

    you might win the lottery too.

    The real question is do you think that it is probable? Would you bet on whether the Mavs will beat the Spurs in only 5 games in this current 7 game series?

    So, far you've proven that you don't think that this is going to happen. Otherwise, you wouldn't have backed off.

    Wolves, you don't know anything about winning a championship the first time, so don't get up into our koolaid.

    Cross your fingers to get a good lottery pick and hope to God KG isn't gonna leave you.

    At this point, imo, only two teams have any shot at all of beating Pistons in a 7 game series: Nets and Spurs. Pistons are to be favored in both.
