No it wasn't "small ball"
It was the stupidity of your coach...
Nowitzki can not be guarded one on one, he demands to get double teamed...
From what I saw, Bowen was guarding Nowitzki one on one and that was what cost the Spurs the series...
Bowen lovers need a reality check

Can you believe this??

Huh?
We're talking about the Mavs and Spurs...
Nice comeback..
Spurs fans are in denial...
your right but your also wrong. unless your team has one three rings or have beaten San Antonio and gone on to win the championship, then you will always be wrong here. remember that. just join the trolls!
How often did you watch the series? The Spurs doubled Dirk and they didn't always defend him with Bruce. They tried lots of different looks on Dirk. Finley probably did the best job but he still couldn't contain Dirk by himself.
He has a point. Pop should have ran a zone. Miami did in Games 3-6 and look what happened.
Mavs fans need to shut the up when talking about rings and championships...
I think the #1 factor in the Spurs demise was how badly they were outrebounded by Dallas. They got plenty of stops, but usually ended up giving up the offensive board from the way they had to collapse to cut off Dallas' penetration. Devin Harris' play pretty much turned that series in the Mavs favor. The team didn't get much from the backup PG spot or from their bigs outside of Duncan, but the rebounding was killer.
a houston fan....
I'll be waiting for my first championship ring next season.
At last we have an original opinion
Rollfrickineyes
i can't believe people are still talking about this..shut up its over..this isn't news this is just a waste of time. talk about next season and how your gonna improve not how your gonna improve on something that has passed
You seem to have it out for Bruce Bowen for whatever reason. In this case your prejudice is shading your opinion towards faulty conclusions.
What killed the Spurs was that nobody on their team over 6'7", including Duncan or Horry, could stay in front of Nowitzki or Howard.
This forced the Spurs into "small ball" lineups that compromised their entire defensive scheme. It's a testament to their latent offensive potency and their championship heart that they made the series so tight.
You are right that nobody can stop Nowitzki one-on-one. Bowen does as good a job as a 6'7" swingman can do on the 7'1" Nowitzki. But with a six-inch height advantage, Nowitzki is going to be able to shoot over the top of him if he gets any room at all.
Typically the Spurs would use a big man as a help defender on Nowitzki. However, since Duncan was the only frontcourt player who could get on the floor, the Spurs dared not send him over as a help defender very often, lest he get in foul trouble, especially since the series was being called so close.
I'll be waiting for my first championship ring next season.
itll be fun dominating your ass next season
Is this a mavs troll? Who gives a about why the spurs lost to the mavs. This has been disscused in numerous threds. Seeing most of your post one can assum you are troll. That or your a moron that cant put together a clever argumant to support your own bull . Or you have a tremendous amount of sand in your vagina. Either or its not the fact that your hate for the spurs is what has people here say you're an idiot. Its the FACT that you suck at it.

No one here gives a if you hate the spurs or not. But if your going to talk you can at least try to sound like you know what your talking about.
go spurs go
Rockets fans need to shut the up when talking about playoffs...
im sure he doesnt HATE the spurs... i mean come on ...lets keep it real...
Dallas had too many big men.. Dampier, Dioop and Nowitzki could all get offensive rebounds. ANd they're all like 7 footers. And what do the Spurs have on the court? One 7 footer. That's pretty much shows everything there. Next year we'll have Elson grabbing boards and we'll see how you Mavs fans react
Didn't Jim Boeheim go to the Islands last summer to work with the Spurs' zone defense? I didn't get to watch many games (only internet radio and yahoo) last season, so I was wondering if they played zone often in the playoffs?
against
what a ing re this Louis guy
Its just the fact that no one can guard dirk nowitzki, only way to beat him is if he has a bad night... o yea and heat blow
You're tellin us about why we didn't win the west finals, you can't even say why you lost a playoff series. And plus we all know that it was Pop has a little blame for us losing ONLY ABOUT SINCE THE MINUTE WE LOST THAT GAME and you're barely telling us now? Are you in a different time zone where it goes by months instead of hours or something? What are you gonna tell us next? The reason the West the 04 all star game?
