Homecourt being the main reason
We let them off the hook in '06 and then they choked their ass off in the finals and followed that up with a first round exit.

I don't know I never feared them.
You're not a player
They were also 55-4 or something like that during a stretch of the regular season and looked pretty unbeatable. Add to the fact that Dirk was playing out of his mind in a majority of those games (50-40-90 at about 24ppg), it was pretty clear that he was gunning for Mr. Larry O'Brien. The Mavs were setting the records that the Warriors are breaking today.
Mavs were the legit contenders that year, if not the favorite, and it's unfortunate that they ran into a really really hot opponent. I'm not saying the Mavs would've outright beaten the Spurs, but given it took the Spurs 6 games to close out the Suns with home court advantage, I'm not so sure they could've pulled it out against the Mavs.
GSW had the right personnel and played the perfect way to beat them in that series. I'm not saying Dallas would have beat SA, but I'm not going to understate Dallas' ability to match up well with the Spurs of that era based on the way GSW played.
No the refs stole both games 3 and 4 for them. 97 Free throws in TWO GAMES. It was the worst two games I have ever watched. The Spurs couldn't even lay a finger on the Mavs player without a foul being called in the late 3rd and 4th quarters of both games. Despite it, the Spurs were a Manu foul away of another NBA championship.
All due credit to Dallas but many act like it was a lock they beat us.
Who cares? Spurs rang.
What odds would you have given the Spurs to win against them
Regardless, even ignoring the matchup problems, avoiding the Mavs meant that the Spurs only played 1 decent team during the entire 2007 run, tbh..
A tough, ultra-compe ive Phoenix series, followed by a grueling Mavs series would have been in a different universe of difficulty compared to playing a Utah team that would have been eliminated in the 1st round in most seasons..
matchups. The Baron Davis/Stephen Jackson team was the only team that beat them all season (actually the last 2 seasons) and really had a chance to beat them that year tbh
60/40 Spurs
Lol homer
Devin Harris OWNED Porker but Baron Davis demolished him.
Like I said you saw how the choked away the finals.
george couldn't believe the clown he was talking to didn't know who bozo was

Spursfan anger in this series has long been misdirected to
game 7. Watch the last fifteen seconds of regulation of game 4. You've probably all forgotten but that was full on cheating on steroids. Put the Mavs up 3-1.
Bavetta.
I will go to my grave watching Dirk get gifted free throws in a situation where that never happens.
Just desserts they were sodomized by zebras in finals. They had no business being there.
there still is a Seinfeld moment every day of my life it seems ... awesome
since george is mostly based off larry david... whenever i get to catch an episode of seinfeld i alway wonder if larry david was actually in that situation
Who is everyone? Not sure where you got that from.
