    , you're right, and I don't think the Mavs fans should be arrogant either.

    The fact of the matter is that nobody's team is en led to anything, but the vibe I get from a lot of posters here is that the Spurs are en led to X or Y just because in previous years theyve won championships.

    Course that's part of what I get for reading here, no doubt. I just can't help but chuckle when I see someone post something like "it doesn't matter how the Spurs are playing now, April+ is all that matters"....as if the Spurs are guaranteed to suddenly step it up every April.

    For anyone wondering why some of us here fear the Mavericks, simply look at the difference in how the two teams played their respective games on Tuesday night.

    Spurs led an inferior Cleveland team throughout most of the game. Only to allow the Cavs eventually take the lead in the 4th quarter. They did so by allowing numerous penetrations in the lane, countless turnovers, giving up unncessary 3-pt plays. This is to say nothing for the incessant ing and moaning to the officials by Tim, which mentally takes them out of the game more than anything an opponent can do.

    Mavs on the other hand, toyed with an inferior Seattle team early, before imposing their will on the Sonics to blow open a 20 pt lead, en route to their 11 straight victory.

    I don't care what anyone says. Right now, the Mavs are demonstrating the machine-like execution the Spurs have long been known for. They're not beating themselves and are playing the contenders. The Spurs are playing like whiny-ass chumps.

    Definitely not time to panic. The guys will get it together. Friday's game will be a big test. It's time to find out how much they want it. The fire is there, it's like the team is just going through the motions right now, but when it comes time to put it on the line, they will be the Spurs team of old!

    GO SPURS GO!

    And that usually happens around the rodeo trip, right. You'll be right there with us come March 1 and it will be a battle until the end of April to see who wins the division. I think it is imperative that Dallas or San Antonio finishes 1 in the west with the new seedings. And as good as we have played for the past month and a half, you are what, 22-8? The Spurs will be fine.

    Is this team so complacent and unmotivated that they have to wait for the annual Rodeo Road Trip as their signal to "wake the up"? If so, then they should shut the season down and enter the lottery.

    It's a long season, but it's the WAY the Spurs are playing is what is of concern. Every year during the Duncan era, this team has hung it's hat on its ability to stop people. That aint happening now.

    Anyone still think SA can beat Dallas in a series with the Spurs staying pat?

    Bowen and Horry are liabilities on offense and if SA is going to play D like they did last night in the 4th Q, then they do not have the firepower to score with Dallas and Phoenix.

    I wouldn't say Bowen is a liability on offense. He's 6th in the NBA in 3 point shooting...that's basically what he's expected to do out there as far as offense goes and that's what helped the Spurs win in 2003 and 2005....

    3pt shooting is fools gold. bruce doesn't take that many shots. it's feast or famine with him. he'll either hit the 3...or not. he has no mid game and can't finish around the basket consistently. when defenses close out on bruce at the 3 point line, he's cooked.

    I'm hoping for a Spurs/Mavs WCF matchup. Pure entertainment...for some reason, the Suns don't scare me, although they are dangerous. Their style of play just wears themselves out, especially in the long run.

    I think the Spurs and Mavs are too physical for just about anybody.

    calm down guys, we made the same run last year. we lost 4 games in december...peaked in jan. and feb. then cooled/crashed hard in march and the beginning of april.

    hypothetical question....lose tonight (against minnesota)...thats 2 games behind...then friday...3 games down! Not saying it will happen...but something to think about. Don't worry though, we have at SA, then Lakers, and Utah. Probably the toughest teams we play against minus the Suns.

    Actually if they lose tonight that's 2.5 games back, 3 if the Mavs win against the Pacers Thursday.

    Then 4 if they lose Friday.

    Even and I am only cautiously optimistic about the Mavs right now...the seed of doubt planted from the 0-4 start has not gone away yet. I am liking what I'm seeing, and would love to believe it will last, but only time...and many more wins...will tell.

    Horry and Bowen have another nice offensive game.

    2 pts?????

    It is time to trade Bowen or bring him off the bench and get a scorer in the starting rotation from the 3 spot.

    Today's NBA is not the same as in 00, 01 or 03....you need to score points to win. We can not score enogh points to beat Phoenix or Dallas in a series right now.

    We have a good enough defense even w/o Bowen in the starting lineup. I seem to remember a pretty good scorer at the 3 on this team named Elliott, and we did fine with him and his decent, not stellar defense, yes?

    Looks like I was right afterall, eh?

    We need to get Maggette or Jefferson from Jersey in here to take Bowens' place or we are nothing but a one and done in playoffs. No way in does this Spurs team beat Phoenix or Dallas in a 7 game series.

    The only team which really concerns me is the Spurs. I think their problems are internal and correctable. I think they'll be tough come playoff time.

    The Nets are trying to make a move. If we give them the right players and a draft pick, perhaps they can make it happen.

    Hey, I have been wanting him for 2 yrs now, why stop dreaming?
