Spurs to lose opener!

[Dalhoop]

Now this guy gots balls! Even if he is a Mav fan he is admitting that they have a bad chance at winning. Although I don't expect anybody else to pick the Spurs too, but at least he didn't add an insult. Biggie Props!

I think that the Spurs have a better chance In this game, not later in the season. The Spurs will be far more "hungry" for revenge then the Mavs will be on day one of the new season.

The winning team in last years series in not a "keyed-up" to prove the result was a fluke, the losing team will be (there, thats the best that I do in insults )

[Stahlkugeln]

That's where you're wrong. Lol where were you when the mavs drafted maurice ager? Are you a moron that cant see how bad van horn sucks? Anyone is an upgrade over van horn. Greg Buckner? was that supposedly not a good thing? Oh ya and Devean George.....spurs fans should know alot about him. He probably wont do much during the regular season, but come playoff time you will regret it when he buries big shot after big shot on your asses.

Ja wohl! Devean George über alles!

Geh Mavs Geh!

[LEONARD]

The only good thing that happened that was good was that you got Anthony Johnson. You got the bad end of the Daniels/Croshere trade. The Butler/Elson combo will be better than the Rasho/Nazr combo. And Duncan will be better because he will be cured from his plantar facseaitis. When he had it he was putting 30 points on y'all and now that he is healthy? You better be scared!
Before: 30 ppg 13 rpg
After: 40ppg 20rpg? I don't know, but those numbers WILL be higher.

And now that he is better he will be faster and just might be able to guard Nowitzki. And while Duncan is reducing Nowitzki's numbers, Bowen will put the clamp on Terry or Howard while Manu guards the other. So then you will be able to go to then? Dampier? Give me a break! Tell me. How exactly did y'all get better while we got worse?

Mavs:
Out:
Van Horn-A PF/SF Who occasionally knocks down some 3's
Armstrong-A solid PG for his age
Powell-A young PF who has potential
Marshall A young G/F who has a some potential.
In:
Johnson-In his 30's but can score somewhat 5-10 ppg
Croshere-Just like Van Horn
You practically got the same people. A little improvement

Spurs:
Out:
Van Exel-An old PG who declined a lot while in the Spurs.
Nazr-A solid center who can put up 5 ppg 5 rpg but can't catch or pass.
Rasho-A center with a jumpshot but is one of the softest.
Marks-A solid player for someone who is on the IR.
In:
Bonner-Like Van Horn
Butler-A young center with a lot of potential who can score, pass, and catch. But has to work a little more on defense.
Elson-Just like Nazr.
Williams-A good SF that plays defense and can occasionally score double figures. Will most liekly back up Bowen.
Vaughn-The age of Van Exel but better numbers.
That's not a lot of improvement but that is sure more than the Mavs.
So take that to the bank!

LOL...

and you forgot Ager, Buckner, George?

and I'm sorry, but Duncan wasn't hurt in the playoffs...saying that he'll put up bigger #'s and give Dirk more problems is a stretch. He can't cover Dirk even when he's 100%...sorry...

[LEONARD]

which puts you among the longest-tenured Mavs fans.

Too easy, Drill Sergeant, too easy!

outstanding work.

Pouncing on BS is easy...you guys believe anything...

[ShoogarBear]

I hate this waiting-around . How many more days till the season starts?

It's called "1 Horse Town Syndrome"...only 3 more months...you can do it!

[MarkCuban]

Sorry guys, but i was really angry after Stern backstabbed me in the Finals. he promised me i'd win but he turned his back on me. thats a slap in the face to my manhood. anyway, i brought in two teachers from my son's school to ref the game, they're gettin 50 grand each to make sure we get the calls and that we win this first game. i cant trust Stern anymore.

[JGrice02]

Deavean George has always been known to make big shots against the spurs, it doesnt matter what he does during the regular season because he won't be heavily relied on.

There is not a player in the NBA that scares me less than George. The Mavs did NOT bring him in to make shots. I repeat, the Mavs did NOT bring this guy in to make shots. Indeed, that is his biggest WEAKNESS! You obviously know nothing about the player. He is a good defender and a decent rebounder. That is why they signed him. Heck, he even admitted to as much in his interview after the signing.

He hits big shots? Let's hope so, because he misses EVERYTHING else. George is a career 39% FG shooter and a career 34% 3-pt shooter. What is most troubling is that most of his career has been with Shaq! He isn't just a bad shooter; he is horrific. He is the definition of unreliable on offense.

He can defend and he can rebound. Anyone who is counting on George to do anything beyond that is completely lost.

shut up you stupid imbecile. Devean George is tall and black. i wanted to offer him the max but AJ said we shouldnt do it because all the taller ones had been taken.

Sorry but i have to disagree. The mavericks have proved that they are legit contenders even though they didnt win it all. They probably have the deepest bench in the league right now and should be even better next season. "Alot of bull " wont have to happen for them to get back next year. All they have to do is play to their potential and they will be right back in contention next year come playoff time.

Well you also said that Duncan doesnt deserve to be in the class of all time greats so what the do you know. Deepest bench in the league didnt win you a le against miami and confidence wise I dont see you guys getting better. Teams in the west wll be gunning for the Mavs much more then ever and Dirk will be put on his ass ALOT. You were exposed and those weaknesses IMO havent improved. Dirk isnt clutch when the refs dont bail him out and he is still a softie and cant handle physical contact. Playing up to their potiental and making it back will require Amare not being anywhere on the court and the refs making bogus calls late in games against the Spurs. Not to mention teams will have to go easy on Dirk which I dont see happening. You will contend in the West and be a factor but you wont be better. In fact confidence wise you still wont recover from the miami series and it will show next years playoffs.

No Mav guard shot better than Manu in that series, so your guys must really suck.

[RC's Boss]

Deavean George has always been known to make big shots against the spurs, it doesnt matter what he does during the regular season because he won't be heavily relied on.

He only hit big shots when he had a "big" man in the middle! Your big man plays on the perimeter and drives like a G or SF until someone knocks him on his ass, then he's back to Dirk circa '01

[RC's Boss]

LOL...

and you forgot Ager, Buckner, George?

and I'm sorry, but Duncan wasn't hurt in the playoffs...saying that he'll put up bigger #'s and give Dirk more problems is a stretch. He can't cover Dirk even when he's 100%...sorry...

and Dirk can't cover Tim when Tim's 75% and Dirk's 100%!

thats why we beat u right? cuz we suck so much

newsflash man...dirk didnt guard duncan in that series...da da der

[RC's Boss]

and yes he was hurt, but it was the playoffs, where "stars are born." Guess he could handle the pain a lot better than the Big Choker he had his feelings hurt cuz those mean Heat guys knocked him on his little wittle buttocks! "Big Choker" someone tell Shaq to use that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RC's Boss]

Because neither his coach, GM, nor agent wants his ass to get embarrassed!

Hey you're the guy who said Manu was a bad shooter. You guards didn't shoot any better, therefore, your guards suck according to YOU. Dirk is a great free throw shooter. That's what won the series. Congratulations.
