    The Mavs will come loaded for bear, but the Spurs are also starting to tighten things down and get ready for the postseason. I expect an exciting game, but given that it's at home I give the edge to the Spurs. Something like:

    Mavs 85
    Spurs 95

    If the Spurs lose (esp. if it's by a lot), I'll officially begin panicking.

    Howard will play and he will be at 100%. The Mavs right now are playing much better and more focused basketball than the Spurs. Avery has cut down on his mistakes on his preperation for the game and it appears no more getting down early to teams like the Raptors. (37-20 Mavs against the 6ers after being down big early the previous 2 games) The Mavs and Spurs have both had 2 days of rest before this game. Duncan hasn't played full strength in a long time and his scoring went way down in February, so that could have a big effect if you have no go-to guy. I'm sure Parker's drive will be cut down as he was the guy who won it for ya'll last game, especially if Armstrong gets put in. I say with all this:

    Mavs - 98
    Spurs - 92

    More focused ball? The Spurs are starting to turn it up. Finley went off last night. 8-8 from the field. Warming up for the Mavs.

    I'm certainly not defending him but we've already blown ya'll out once and I doubt we were at full strength. (I'll look it up) But just as the Mavs have a chance to blow out the Spurs the Spurs have just as good of a chance to blow out the Mavs.

    Alot depends on the the health of several Mavs players.

    I understand that Harris' thigh unjury could be more serious than originally thought, and it's unlikely he will play. I thought he was a key contributor in the last couple of games, with his ability to drive into the lane. Very similar to what Parker does for the Spurs.

    Howard is still day to day, but I look for him to play, but he might not be 100%.

    Dirk rolled his ankle in the third period against the Sixers, and even though he came back and played well in the fourth, he could have some lingering effects even by Thursday.

    I think I'll wait and see what the status of these players will be before making any predictions.

    Tim Duncan is like 50%, so I don't want to hear any bull injury excuses.

    Haha, I want to see your season grade on Finley for the season, trust me all he does is jump shot and it will not be working against the Mavs, he's just too washed up and we could virtually put anyone on our team and they could guard him effectively just because he rarely ever drives anymore.

    I predict the Spurs will miss some shots and the Mavs will miss some shots. They will play at least 48 minutes and the team with the higher score will win.

    So you don't think he's going to hit a open shot at all? If you're not going to play any help D, then you're going to get burned by Parker, Manu, and Tim.

    Trust me, he won't be open, and if he is he won't make the majority of his open shots.

    It's not an individual defender that is going to slow Parker down. It takes a concerted team defense, the likes of which has been seldom seen (the '04 playoff series versus the Lakers comes to mind). The Mavs have to be able to control the paint, which means containing Duncan while keeping TP and everyone else out. That's a tall order for any NBA team, especially for the Mavs.

    Why is that impossible? The Mavs are really hot right now, they can blowout any team in the league.

    Heard of Robert Horry? No injury excuses.

    That's why I'm waiting before making any prediction. Even if everyone's healthy, it can go either way. I won't use injuries as an excuse if the Spur win though. Hopefully you would say the same to any Spurs fan that would try to do the same though.

    As getting down big to the Raptors at home no doubt proved.

    Avery has cut down on his mistakes on his preperation for the game and it appears no more getting down early to teams like the Raptors. (37-20 Mavs against the 6ers after being down big early the previous 2 games)
    And I guess a single game is representative of a sudden improvement in coaching philosophies? If so, Popovich has obviously stressed offensive execution and making shots since the Spurs shot 72% through three quarters against the Knicks.

    If you're going to try to talk basketball, at least make an attempt to raise resaonable points based on representative evidence.

    The Mavs and Spurs have both had 2 days of rest before this game. Duncan hasn't played full strength in a long time and his scoring went way down in February, so that could have a big effect if you have no go-to guy. I'm sure Parker's drive will be cut down as he was the guy who won it for ya'll last game, especially if Armstrong gets put in.
    It's March, baby. February is over. Besides, it's not as if the Spurs have a single go-to guy. The game is on national television -- ask SequSpur his thoughts about Manu Ginobili in nationally televised games.

    I say with all this:

    Mavs - 98
    Spurs - 92
    If the Mavericks fulfill Mavs' fans fantasies and score 98, or 101, or 110, or 348, or whatever ridiculous number Mavericks' fan chooses to pull out of his ass in predicting the score of Thursday's game, they'll probably win. That, or any prediction that the Spurs will give up more than 95 points on Thursday is crazy talk. We'll see.
