no, but the West runs through the Spurs and Tim sent him home twice.
My god, has it really been a month and a half since the first round???

I was thinking the same thing.
Sorry but keeping a team in tact that LACKS INSIDE OFFENSE is ing re ed. The Spurs were by far a much more physical team this year than last year. Their physical play would of made us piss our pants this season. I am against keeping this team intact. We NEED inside offense. You cant spin this. You cant avoid it now. This is a serious need and anyone who understands the NBA knows this is a 100% FACT! Of course we also need heart, balls, mental toughness but that is something we cant sign or trade for. What we can trade for is an inside scorer. If we keep most of this team intact, we will be the same team that has now been fully exposed to the NBA. A pussy jump shooting team who folds under pressure when teams get rough and physical with us. I am sorry but if something is broke FIX IT!

The Spurs lacked speed at the 5 spot last year, but we didn't trade Tim, Tony, and Manu off to get guys to fit our system better.
You Mavs fans sure are a confusing bunch.
i was mostly kidding but seriously, timmy sent who home twice? dirk was wet behind the ears the first time and giddy about an 0-2 comeback against the jazz sending the mavs to the first playoff victory in ages. inn 2003 he barely got to play before having to sit out the rest of the series thanks to an injury after colliding with manu. both nellie era teams, not this team that beat the spurs last year. like i said, the spurs WILL be right there the next couple of years, i'd rather stack up against them than worry about how to beat the *warriors*
lol, a much more *physical* team than last year. LMFAO, don't buy the *dirty* spurs hype, they haven't changed, they are as good as they were last year, which is to say very good, and the rest of the league continued to be it's usual mediocre self. you didn't and moan when we were winning in the regular season and saying "uh oh, we're going to get ed in the playoffs" and i didn't hear you screaming this at the beginning of the playoffs or everytime we beat the spurs in the regular season.Sorry but keeping a team in tact that LACKS INSIDE OFFENSE is ing re ed.

i'm not saying there aren't problems that need to be addressed. dirk needs to definitely grow a pair and take it inside and feed off the whistles. i have no doubt that he's tough because i've seen him play injured more often than most little babies who would rather take a leave of absence, but for some reason he's not transferring that into going inside. devin needs to be allowed to play 40 and stop with the jumpshooting practice, drive it to the hole as is his natural shot. stack, i have no problems with other than his age and his occasional ballhog tendencies. he's tough, people hate him, he drives to the lane without fear, he can take the occasional outside shot, i'd keep him for pennies. jho needs to play smarter. the kid plays well and he's also got the mental toughness to not take from anybody but he needs a bit more calmness in his game because he tends to make mistakes or fade at the most inopportune times. we aren't going to move damp so good luck with that . diop's here for another year and he's developed a lot more this year, particularly at the end of the season that i'm willing to keep him as long as he doesn't get lazy.
it doesn't, dirk nowitzki poster is just knee-jerking. only a ing moron would not look at the spurs and see that they've made subtle adjustments to the team every year without changing the core which is probably one of the reasons they've failed to win a back to back ring but have over the course of the decade secured four rings. besides, cuban would be a freakin' idiot to blow up the team like he's done in the past and let core guys go, look what's happened to those guys. yeah, let jho or devin go and next year they have a career best yearWhy does getting inside offense equal dismantling the whole team?

You Mavs fans sure are a confusing bunch.
it doesn't. nobody is suggesting that.
there's two factions of Mavs fans right now - A) The type saying "this team is very close to winning a le the way it is, let's not screw with it, let's ride it out and see where this team takes us" and then there's B) the type saying "this team is fatally flawed due to their lack of mental toughness in clutch situations and their inability to find a creative solution to problems on the court"
Side A accuses Side B of making a "knee-jerk reaction". Side B accuses Side A of not seeing the underlying problems at the very core of this team. Side A makes excuses like "Golden State wasn't really a true 8 seed". I'm a little more partial to Side B because I see things their way a little more, but in reality the truth lies in the middle.
Dallas definitely should not make major changes (unless it's getting Kobe without losing Dirk)....at the same time making a few minor "tweaks" involving spare parts like Devean George and Austin Croshere won't get us any closer to a le either.
The moment the first post popped up saying how trading Dirk would ''tremendously'' help us out I lost interest in this thread.
This isn't the off-season to "blow things up." I think that point is 2 years off if we backslide.
Mavs just need an inside scorer.
We're one signing away from being the favorites again to win it all.
Or just need Dirk to really commit to being on the blocks in crunch time.
Yeah, he ALWAYS settles for jumpers:
Anyways, congrats on the fourth le. Hope to see you next May.
Terry blows
Why must Mav Fan always live in the past?
Hey man, the 2006-07 season is over. Stop reveling in past glory. You guys are more pathetic than Celtics fans.Why must Mav Fan always live in the past?
No inside scorer=guaranteed early playoff elimination for the Mavs next season. Add in heart to that need list as well.

EXACTLY YOU HAD TIM!!! That was your inside scorer not to mention amazing leader. You also had stars developing within Manu and Parker. The Mavs have ZERO INTERIOR POST PLAYERS with any kind of developing post game. We cant and wont come close to winning a le if we dont solve that problem. This major weakness cant be avoided anymore.
Oh yeah?Yeah, he ALWAYS settles for jumpers:
Anyways, congrats on the fourth le. Hope to see you next May.
Way to show one part of the book of failure that is the 05-06 Dallas Mavericks.
Mavs are tough and extremely talented. But they have not showed anybody they can really compete with the playoff seasoned compe ion. How have they so far? I can see them getting to the WCF if they do some minor moves, aside from that, with what they have right now... no.
yawn, whatever. tunes change all the time based on how well a team is doing at any given moment.
jesus ing christ, the pic was not a dig at the spurs but rather an example of dirk in the freakin' paint...and it was in response to another mavs fan. don't get so pissy at someone who actually congratulated you guys on getting your fourth. ing blind hatred....it sucks, at least put some thought into your blathering.Oh yeah?

now you want a dig at the spurs so you can some more? what the is this mierda about not competing with "playoff seasoned compe ion?" the spurs fit that definition of yours way more than the heat who were also first-timers last season and last time i checked we competed with your team pretty well last season. i'm not keen on dwelling on past seasons much but you brought it up so it's worth pointing out how incorrect you are.
Wow, that's quite the putdown of your own team. It's true we haven't run into Bill Russell's Celtics or Magic's Lakers, but we play who we play.

What was that about the Spurs being a "classy" organization? Too bad it doesn't rub off on most of their fans. I also like how Spurs fans constantly say we're "envious" of them and are obsessed with them, then they make sure to litter up their forum with anti-Mavs threads as soon as they win their fourth le. Aren't we just as irrelevant as the other 29 teams that didn't get it done?
And I don't know about you, but I didn't watch a minute of their first-round series against Denver, I wasn't interested. And I was rooting for the Spurs to win their fourth le so Finley could finally be a champion. But they were watching us -- as soon as we beat the Warriors in Games 2 and 5, how many wailing and screeching threads complaining about the officiating came up? They're watching our games, screaming when we win, celebrating when we lose, and debasing themselves with anti-Mav threads when they win. Since the Spurs have been a much more successful franchise than the Mavs, I'm guessing that's a San Antonio-Dallas thing, not a Spurs-Mavs thing.
