i hope jason terry breaks both of his legs (and arms) while driving to the first game of the series.
I just got done re-watching the Warriors 2007 first round upset of the gutless wimps (aka the Dallas Mavericks), I've come to one conclusion: Golden State Run 'n' Gun >>>>>>>>>>> Phoenix Suns Run 'n' Gun
and Bay Area fans >>>>>>>> the yuppies in Dallas personified by Mark Cuban
the level of hate i have for the dallas mavericks is only surpassed by how much i hate kobe/lakers/bandwagon laker fans (which is 90% of laker fans)

I do agree that the mavs suck but you have to acknowledge they are a pretty good basketball team. With that being said it would be a pleasure for the Spurs to end their season extra early this year.
Briinnnnggggg it.
But seriously...this is totally doable.
Guard Dirk by committee, exploit Kidd's oldness with a healthy dose of Hill/Parker, have Duncan performing at his usual dominant playoff form, and a good number of bounces and calls going our way...
in the words of The KiloGram...ANYTHING IS POSSIBLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!

I think everyone on this board knows how big of a /idiot you are. This is a new account for me, so I hadn't blocked you yet. I will now. This is the last reply I will post to anything you say.
Peace out, homez. Say hi to your mother for me.
LOL Chokers
Mavs = cute lil team
I still want 2006 back. 'Cos the mavs sure as didn't do with it.
it's just basketball dude, the fact that you "hate" the Mavericks and all that is hilarious. I suggest you get a life and treat basketball as what it is - a hobby.
Cool story bro
Dallas is a pretty good team.
I hate them but give them respect. If spurs play them it will go down to 6 or 7 games anybody's series.
Spurs will take the Mavs in 5 book it now - Spurs have a better point differential and when healthy a far better team - Dallas is a mirage with the loss of Spurs killers for hyped people like Caron Butler (chronic loser)
mavs in 5 at most
What does that mean? Have a bunch of guys get lit up by Dirk by committee?
yup mavs will lose in 5
Not against the Mavs they don't.
that's what pretty much happens everytime we play the Mavs. As long as everyone else in the mavs is slowed down, I'm ok with this strategy
On a serious note, I'm sure the Spurs will defend Dirk the way they did last year. Trap him and swarm him with double teams, on the theory that his teammates are less likely to beat you than he is. It didn't work because Josh Howard, Brandon Bass and even little JJ Barea had a big series against San Antonio, but it's sound in theory. Since the Spurs don't have anybody who can check Dirk, I'm sure they will utilize this strategy again. It's up to Caron Butler, Jason Kidd, Brendan Haywood, Jason Terry and Roddy Beaubois to make the Spurs pay.
I'm not too worried about Duncan because the tandem of Dampier/Haywood should be able to keep him around 19/10 levels instead of him going off for 25/13. Ginobili is hot right now but the Mavs have three good wing defenders to throw at him (Marion, Stevenson and Kidd). He'll get his but he can't be getting 35 a night on 50% shooting. Hill and Parker could give the Mavs real trouble with their quickness.
On paper the Mavs have a few more answers for the Spurs than vice versa, but it wouldn't be a shock if the Spurs won. I wish my fellow Mavs fans wouldn't be so y.
Last year Dirk's #'s in the series against San Antonio weren't impressive, but he had a great series patiently working through the double teams and traps playing an excellent facillitator game. The Spurs for years have lacked a reliable one on one option to check Dirk and that's no different this year. I expect them to use the Houston 05/Miami 06/Golden 07 "swarm him with double teams and traps" strategy. Dirk has gotten better at dealing with it over the years, but we beat San Antonio last year because Bass, Howard and Barea killed the Spurs for going to it. Our new crew will need to do the same this year. It does us no good it Dirk hits a cutter or a guy spotting up wide-open for three and he misses.
52 year old Kidd guarding Manu????
how is this not worse than putting Bonner on Dirk???
and Manu has a history of raping Marion in the playoffs.
so I guess you are stuck with the Lebron stopper
You obviously haven't put the Taco Cabana long enough to watch Kidd play this year. He does a good job checking two's...it's the speedy Parker/Paul types he has trouble stopping.
Because Jason Kidd is 10x the defender Bonner will ever be.how is this not worse than putting Bonner on Dirk???
Yeah, right. Marion is effective checking Kobe and Melo, but Manu is gonna drop 40 a night on him. Whatever.and Manu has a history of raping Marion in the playoffs.
you need to take your mouth off your Mav Crewmate's for a second and realize Kidd cannot guard Manu on the perimeter. Kidd has almost as slow lateral movement as Fisher at this point. Manu will eat him alive.
And
Kidd will guard Manu in stretches, as will Stevenson, as will Marion. Are the Mavs gonna shut Manu down and hold him to 5 points a game? Of course not. Can those three guys in tandem force him into an inefficient shooting performance? Eminently possible.
Oh yeah, and what is that? That he played on Suns teams that could never beat the Spurs? WGAF?And
The Mavs don't need Marion to score 20 a game like the Suns did. They need him to keep Manu from going off. In Phoenix, he got into alpha-dog pissing contests with Amare over who "The Man" was. After being in basketball purgatory, he has reinvented himself in Dallas as an effectively role player. If Marion can force Kobe and Melo into inefficient performances, he can do the same to Manu. If Manu gets 20 on 43% shooting, Dallas can live with that. If he's scoring 30 on 50%, Dallas is in trouble.
