Mavs writers, shut the up you sore losers. The NBA/ABC tried to help you and you got owned. Deal.

It's SA - And They're Whining Already?

TESTING THE SPURS:Oh, we know. They've won championships, so they are steeled against all challenges.
Well Mavs, test 'em, anyway.
Fans in San Antonio explained away their struggles against Sacto -- Round 1 struggles that finally ended late Friday when the Spurs survived the Kings in six -- by saying things like, "We've be in this situation several times and won championships'' and "The Spurs are bored with these early games against an 8-seed'' and "They're better for having been challenged.''
Even Bruce Bowen tried to pull that crap, saying something about being glad San Antonio had to "dig deep.''
Nonsense.
You "dig deep'' for every win. Dallas "dug deep,'' too; it's just that they dug deep enough to get the excavation project finished in four shovels-full instead of six. And now, starting with a Game 1 on Sunday at noon in the Alamo City on ABC, the Mavs start trying to plow through Round 2. The Mavs' journey begins Saturday morning with a flight out of Dallas (interestingly, the Spurs begin with a journey, too; a late-Friday win at Sacramento, and sleepover there before a long flight home on Saturday.)
And let the Spurs' crying commence: The quick turnaround is "awful,'' says Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, adding sarcastically, "We're going to play them in about 20 minutes. We're going to try and do a litle scouting. We just hope the game doesn't start at 8 a.m."
Again, Pop, it starts at noon. At YOUR HOME. And there wouldn't be such a demand had you, a No. 1 seed, not bumbled so against a No. 8 seed.
Geez, the Spurs whine as much as any team is the NBA. Is that because they view themselves as privileged? Or because they've recently experienced some desperate moments?
Remember, the Spurs' present situation, as it relates to Dallas, is nothing new. These two teams being within an eyelash of one another is a stage play with a four-year (so-far) run.
In 01-02, San Antonio won 58 games to win the Midwest. Dallas won 57.
In 02-03, San Antonio won 60 games to win the West. Dallas lost the tiebreaker but was also a 60-game winner.
In 04-05, San Antonio won 59 games to win the Southwest. Dallas won 58.
And this year, San Antonio won 63 games to win the West. Dallas was also a 60-game winner.
It starts Sunday. And if the Spurs really believe they are better for having labored to defeat an 8-seed while the Mavs grew all marshmallowy by crushing a Memphis team that had the fourth-best record in the West, well. ...
Quit whistling past the graveyard, Spurs. And quit whining before the series even starts. Prove it.
Mavs writers, shut the up you sore losers. The NBA/ABC tried to help you and you got owned. Deal.
Mike Fisher, what a
This is just a blog/fan writer, correct?
Wow, that guys whole "analysis" is based on the fact that Sacramento was an 8 seed, so they must suck. His description of the Spurs as whiney is pretty hilarious too, he's got Pop saying one word (awful) and cracking a few jokes (good ones too, imo) as opposed to the Mavericks, whose owner writes a new blog entry complaining about NBA refs every time the Spurs punk him.
Yeah, it was just a blog writer - not anyone with legitimate credit. Was just posting for entertainment purposes.
What's funny is the way the Mavs fans keep acting like sweeping the Grizzlies was akin to sweeping the 97 Bulls...
Pssst...they only had 49 wins this year...they had 50 the year the Spurs swept them(and blew them out by the same margin the Mavs just did). Unfortunately, they didn't give a trophy for that.
That series wasn't about you Dallas...it was about the Grizz.
And Mavs fans wonder why they are universally considered the pre-eminent dumb s of professional sports.
What do you expect from a city whose only claim to fame is shooting the President?
Mike Fisher is awesome. He just doesn't know anything about basketball. I used to listen to his radio show and it's 99% Cowboys. I've yet to hear anyone that claims to know anything about basketball say that Memphis was better than the post-trade Kings.
It's funny that Fish is working for Dallasbasketball.com, when his only real qualification is that he can write.
wtf, whats there to prove anyway? spurs - 3 rings vs mavs - zero
He seems upset that the Mavs keep coming in second to the Spurs. I like the fact that he lessens the 3 game difference in records this year by saying the mavs were "Also a 60 game winner" instead of saying they won exactly 60 games...In 01-02, San Antonio won 58 games to win the Midwest. Dallas won 57.
In 02-03, San Antonio won 60 games to win the West. Dallas lost the tiebreaker but was also a 60-game winner.
In 04-05, San Antonio won 59 games to win the Southwest. Dallas won 58.
And this year, San Antonio won 63 games to win the West. Dallas was also a 60-game winner.
He is a "legitimate" media guy if you can call him that. Well he was on the radio in dallas some time back. The Dallas Ticket guys mentioned how they ran him out of radio ratings-wise a few years ago. He does not seemed to be liked much..
And there would be no mention of a 36 hour turnaround had the Mavs been in the same position? Please.
Apparently not. He's "big media." This is what passes for enlightened thought in the "Metroplex."
It's so embarrassing to have Dallas in the same state. Observing them in their full copro ic-yet-condescending idiocy sheds so much light upon the contempt so much of the country has for Texans.
Is there any way we could pawn them off on Oklahoma or Arkansas?
LOL. The Dallas Ticket guys are certainly not legitimate media.
"Awsome" at what? Being a Cowboys homer?
I have no doubt that he's great at sucking Cowboy , but all he managed to do with this "article" was make himself look bitter.
Legitimate media/journalists use the word "crap" in their writings? Nice.
Um. Yeah, actually. I already said he doesn't know anything about basketball. Once again, reading comprehension is our friend, genius.
Buuuuuuuh. He obviously does know a few things about basketball if he can recall everything Spurs/Mavs related back to 2001. Nevermind the fact that he's been a sports journalist for over 20 years. Nice deflection though dumbass. Try answering the question now. What the makes this guy so great in your mind? All he wants to do is slam the Spurs without giving even an ounce of credit. Regardless of your opinion on his basketball IQ, all that does is scream of a guy who turns into bitter crybaby. Yeah, real awesome.
If you consider being able to recite the number of wins for the two teams "everything", then yes, the dude is a goddamn sports encyclopedia. And five whole years. Good ing God, that's like one third of your lifetime...
Seriously, why the do you care? He's been on TV, radio and print in the Dallas area for years, and he's always talked mostly football. I've listened to him and exchanged emails with him. Like Kevin Blackistone and Buck Harvey, he always answers them and enjoys the discussion. If you were to spew moronic vitriol at one of those guys just because you disagreed with their opinion, which you have a habit of doing, I'd probably say something about it. The fact that he says something that hurts your wittle feelings doesn't automatically make him rotten at what he does.
"Again."
Mark Cuban owns dallasbasketball.com and that's a big reason why Fish breaks a lot of the news regarding the Mavs. It's the only reason he gets those "inside" sources. Fish is Cuban's pet.
What does that have to do with the current series? Why aren't we looking at a Lakers/Celtics matchup if that's the argument.
I'm sure the Mavs would've swept the Kings too. Oh well, didn't seem to matter too much in Game 1.
Remember, the Spurs' present situation, as it relates to Dallas, is nothing new. These two teams being within an eyelash of one another is a stage play with a four-year (so-far) run.
In 01-02, San Antonio won 58 games to win the Midwest. Dallas won 57.

Yeah, the Kings were just like any 8th seed that finished the season 26-14.It starts Sunday. And if the Spurs really believe they are better for having labored to defeat an 8-seed while the Mavs grew all marshmallowy by crushing a Memphis team that had the fourth-best record in the West, well. ...
Spurs are 1/4th of the way towards proving it. Enjoy.Quit whistling past the graveyard, Spurs. And quit whining before the series even starts. Prove it.
