I understand you've been watching the NBA for about 18 months, but seriously?

I kinda agree with him. Roy doesn't have knees anymore. His 4th quarter explosion will seen as the exception rather than the rule.

 

[commish]

suns could smoke this Spurs/Blazers team. We shoulda been there.

 

[Branduil]

Honestly if there were another minute in this game I bet the Blazers would come back.

 

[Blackace]

Sonics, i remember it right, were 63-19 that season and were the favorites to win it all.

Mavs won 67 games but they faced a team that was much better after the trade that got them Captain Jack and Al Harrington.

Those two were 1# overall in the league.

Heat won only 33 i think and were not the best record that year.

Sups lost to the Nuggets

Mavs lost to the Warriors

Some team named the Knicks did it as well..

Schooling uneducated Mavs fans is like shooting thekad's in a barrel.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Ive been watching the Griz a long time, theyre definitely capable of choking in this series. Dont rush to conclusions!

I don't know the man can still hoop.. he is hobbled badly but he has a lot of skills still

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Blazers could use T-mac's 13 in 35 right about now.

 

[masud]

Slick move by gallo

 

[kevo_huevo]

lol freaking cardinal with the blindside pick.

 

[punkypine]

On top of that, the assclowns busting out the jokes should laugh at themselves. The Heat were nowhere near the "#1 overall" I had asked for. It was the Spurs, tying a W-L record with the Jazz.

And once again, the lockout season shouldn't even count.

It's okay, the knicks didn't make the playoffs the last time it happened so basketball probably wasn't on TV in new york that year

 

[Black Mamba]

Which one?

its a shame the best point guard in the nba couldn't participate this time. Instead we get to watch the wannabes like paul, price, and rondo

 

[Bishman]

I meant his performance last game. Dallas wasn't prepared for it and got caught off guard.

 

[Darkman M]

Lol Perk

 

[zero margin]

If that was the rule he'd be the greatest player of all time. Obviously its an exception.

 

[AlphaSnake]

I think people were laughing because 1) The Mavs were just upset as the #1 seed a couple years ago and 2) the Spurs weren't the #1 seed this year.

I thought Mavs had a tying record that year and considered 2nd. Oh well, certain things you just forget.

Admittedly, I was quick to forget that the Bulls were #1, because it was just by 1 game and it happened, quite literally, at the very end of the season. I was used to the Spurs being #1 for a vast majority.

 

[Branduil]

This series look like it's going seven games. I doubt the Mavs can close out the Blazers on their home court.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

He needs to start modeling his game after old man Jordan/Kobe.

actually number 1 seeds in NBA almost never lose period.. overall number 1 or not..

fixed

He will end up being Ron Harper

Jason Kidd is playing..

 

[xxxstylzxxx]

don't know about that call

 

[thekad]

Blazers just aren't good. Mavs are much better and they just proved it (again).

 

[Jamesfrom818]

Jason Kidd is playing..

Don't you mean Textbook Westbrook?

 

[Red Blaster]

TCB's handle on Spurstalk?

 

[The Stealth Fox]

JaMarcus Russdridge

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Just got out of the mavs game. Crowd was electric!

 

[Branduil]

The best part about switching from Mavs to Lakers-age is you can still hate the Spurs.

 

[jjasper]

Agreed.

I don't know how you can say that when they've never been in a position to choke, or even won a playoff game before this year.

It'd be one thing if they won 3 fluky games, but they've been dominant.

 

[jobber]

Agreed.

it's true

Spurs only had 2 bad losing streaks all season. That was the 6 game slide and the b2b in Philly & Boston.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Agreed.

You were at the game, right jjasper?

What was the vibe like on that block to the alley-oop on the other end?

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Found this on clutchfans:

Duncan looks like some vegetable eating dinosaur.

Yeah, when the fuck have the Grizz ever choked?

 

[benjipwns]

Wow. Maynor.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Oh shit Maynor.

 

[Syphon Filter]

holy crap!

 

[dream]

that's no good

 

[Black Mamba]

TCB's handle on Spurstalk?

Awesome site.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

LOL MAYNOR that shit was nothin but net

 

[KingGondo]

Don't think it counted.

But that was still nice.

 

[Godslay]

Fuck, story of this series if it counts.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Ahahaha. Fuck you Blazers!

 

[giri]

LoL spurs.

It was pretty crazy. Even my wife's parents who never stand up jumped out of their set.

 

[TylerD]

That is nice. Congrats on the big win.

Apologies if this has been posted already but, even though I'm not his biggest fan, I was still quite surprised by SAS's scathing analysis of Mike D's performance up to this point. While I'm not exactly a fan of his overall approach and feel that he was thoroughly out coached by Doc Rivers (An opinion apparently shared by many analysts, columnists, fans etc.) I do think he deserves at least one more full season based on the circumstances he had to deal with. That is of course assuming that we have a full season to begin with.
