Was this a quote during the show or an actual interview? If it was an interview it is just classic Pop giving props to other teams so they have no bulletin board material. Remember, Cleveland was a tough matchup.

Well, that could be right, although you have to wonder what dropping a sure thing in Miami and then getting owned by the 8th cede this year has done to the Mav team.
Those are two blows that will take a of a lot of character (and maybe hours in therapy) to put behind them and play great ball again.
it was during a live interview. he was asked how far are the mavs from being the spurs and he said they are right there already and next year they will be the team to beat.

Perfect.
CIA Pop!!!
Pop already running rings around the opposition.
I love it.
Mavs won't be taken seriously because of the GS series and that's the way it should be. The doubters and haters will only be silenced by a le. That should be plenty of motivation for our guys.
He says that every year. Pop's a nice dude.
Without significant personnel changes, Dallas will be lucky to secure a top 4 playoff seed next year. Their collective confidence is very fragile right now. I would consider Phoenix more so the team to beat if it's not the Spurs.
Who knows how they'll respond? The Sonics made it to the Finals with the same team that was ousted by Denver, so we'll just have to wait and see. I think they just went to far in the right direction...it was laudable and noble to not take the regular season off and coast until the playoffs, but they played the entire season in a fifth-gear frenzy in an effort to exorcise the Finals. The Spurs have found the right balance between coasting and playing pedal to the metal. Dallas needs to do the same.
The Spurs still have no answer for Nowitzki and especially Josh Howard. It's right to have Dallas on the mind.
Well they won't stay in the playoffs long enough for us to find out.
Avery needs to take a page out of Pop's book and not gun for the regular season crown next year.
Man this is at least the second thread you've posted concerning the Mavs this morning.
ing forget about them for at least 24 hours and enjoy the Finals. And don't bring that weak ass bout already thinking about next year.
unless they face the warriors in the first round again....
Now this makes sense.Perfect.

I don't know. It seems Mavs will go thru some major changes. I'm not sure what they will be capable of in 2008.
They don't really have the financial flexibility to add to what they have. Don't be surprised if they bring this team back intact, more or less (Croshere, George):

The sad thing is that Donnie seems to be in denial about what happened. Warriors exposed an achilles' heel that I'd like to see get fixed:unless they face the warriors in the first round again....

Bowen would of locked Howard down. As for Dirk, just get physical with him and give him no comfort zone and he will fall apart. A jump shooting team with no inside game who cant handle constant physical play and is mentally fragile is not going to beat this spurs team.
Very complete article. I recommend reading it.
Mavs and Suns are going to be wailing on each other all next year. Spurs will be under the radar again.
*sigh*Man this is at least the second thread you've posted concerning the Mavs this morning.

i'm not posting the stuff just because it popped in my head. pop, the coach of the spurs, champions of the world, said the morning after winning the le that the team to beat next year are an intra-state rival. well worth sharing.
So last year never happened, huh? The Spurs got Jekyll, the Warriors got Hyde. The reason Dallas matches up well with San Antonio is because Dirk forces you guys to play small and the mismatches. Stick Bowen on Dirk and there's nobody to guard Howard. Stick Bowen on Howard and you have nobody to guard Dirk.
