maybe. but the spurs just couldnt matchup with the mavs. even if the spurs swept the kings it wouldnt change the fact that the spurs couldnt matchup.
I deeply believe that the Sacramento Kings caused the spurs to lose this series. Playing 6 hard games instead of 4 takes its toll sooner or later. Mavs had MUCH more time to prepare for the Spurs, too. If the kings weren't the main cause, they're definitely a part of it.

yeah, I was talking about this today.
Sour grapes, but we got screwed by the Schedule. While the Mavs we're sweeping away the Grizz, we get stuck playing probably a 4th seed team in the 1st round.
Then, we play the number 2 seed in the second round, with only one day break.
You can see it with Detroit and the Heat: I'd rather have rest than homecourt. Next year, hopefully, the seedings will be better and we'll actually play lesser quality teams in the opening rounds.
I think it had more to do with giving up crucial offensive rebounds at the ends of Game 3 and 4 as well as in overtime of Game 7 than with fatigue from playing Sacramento.
There may have been some fatigue that lead to the Game 2 loss, but Dallas deserved to win that game and the Spurs were able to fight back and give themselves a chance to overcome that problem.
Ultimately, the Spurs made some mistakes in crunch time and the Mavs made some plays when they had to; that's the way a series goes sometimes.
Having a tough series against the Kigns certainly didn't help.
Other than Finley, we really didn't have any help off the bench. In each season that the Spurs won a championship, at least one bench player has been huge.
Is that the Kings championship now?
By the way, if you guys don't need Bonzi next year, we'll take him.
With some minor at ute adjustments, he'll fit right in.![]()
It certainly didn't help. But are you trying to insinuate that the Kings actually defeated the Spurs?
Bonzi Wells sucks and I would never want him on my team. Look at the crap he pulled in Memphis.
That f..ked up playoff seedings certainly benefited the Mavs even though going in all us Mav fans felt it sucked that we were gonna have to play the Spurs in the 2nd round instead of the WCF. I only noticed Spur's fatigue in game #2. Parker & Ginobli looked like they were running in sand that game.
Don't we have too many white guys on the team for Bonzi's tastes?
He's a talented player, but I guess he has too much baggage.
It's a good thing he and Rasheed never got their act together in Portland. That team had a load of raw talent. They even had Jermaine O'Neal, but he was just a rookie then.
The Spurs were obviously tired to start out the Mavs series. But if we're going to blame the Kings for the loss we might as well blame the refs as well. Let's blame both!
Really?!? Does that mean if the Suns lose to the Mavs i can used them playing back-to-back 7gm series as an excuse?
that's a silly excuse.
If there was "screwing", it wasn't by the schedule, it was by Indiana trading Artest to Sac. The kings had the worst record of any western conference team in the playoffs. The only way that the scheduling could be chaged to fix this would be for the top seed to pick which team they want to play from the group of teams that make the playoffs which of course is ludacris.
The Spurs lost because in the end Dallas wanted it more. Plain and simple.
LOL ? it's pro basketball....
Kings play.. kings lost.. we won.. It's called Basketball...
Dallas Beat the Spurs btw... lol..
Man... talk about grabbing for straws... Kings fantasy here..
I don't think they really wanted it any more than the Spurs. A team that comes back from 3-1 AND from a 20 point, game 7 deficit, has a LOT of desire. In the end, Dallas had younger legs and a better bench. I've heard that Tim was so cramped up after game 7, that he had to stay a couple of extra hours after the game to get an intravenous fluids. Tim and Manu played their asses off. I'd say Tony too, but he seemed to fade away a little bit in games 6 and 7.
I'd like to see Bonzi Wells in a Spurs uni.![]()
all you guys have is the mid level. he said hes sick of moving and that if he doesnt come back to sacto it would be because sac doesnt want him, which they do. bonzi will be back for sure, i cant wait until the maloofs interview pj for the coaching job.
I just hope Bonzi or Artest don't try to choke him ala Sprewell.![]()
And don't forget the he pulled on YOUR team either.
get a clue. u can't compare suns vs. mavs in finals to Spurs vs. Mavs in semi's. Suns played 7 games, Mavs played 7 games, so it's fair and even. Spurs played 6 games, Mavs played 4, plus a lot more prepare time. Oh and btw, Mavs will beat the suns in 5 or 6, so don't get your hopes up. Suns shouldn't even be int he WCF,..damn playoff seeding.
thats all anyone talks about when they mention pj.![]()
get over it. when people mention him after next season if he joins the kings they will be talking about him helping our team get 50+ wins.
the way the suns play they will never win a le. they will be like dallas in a few years and realize they need defense. do you think they can win a le with the defense they play? im just asking
