Based off the Western Conference playoffs....

How good are the fukking Mavericks? To be able to go 7 with these Spurs and have a legit chance of winning the series? The way the Spurs have dominated the Trailblazers and the Thunder made me gain more respect for the Mavs

 

[YourMajesty]

They went 7 games with the Spurs actually.

 

[the cool]

mavs would had a much better record if devon harris didnt miss 60 games

rick carlisle is the second best coach next to popavich

mavs were so close beating the spurs

Yeah I know that was a typo on my end

 

[thenatural]

How about how good is Rick Carlisle?

mavs in game 1 at san antonio were up the entire game then blew like a 11 point lead with 6 mins left in the 4th quarter

they would of been up 3-0 on the spurs

 

[MikelArteta]

Mavs matched up perfectly.

You need great coaching, great bench, depth, guys who can play defense, guys who can take over, vets.

And Dallas had that all.

Basketball is all about matchups.

Mavs really aren't that good, but matchups and a good coach who knows how to maximize them are the difference.

As someone who actually watched the series and almost every Spurs game this season....

Spurs played like dog shyt most of the series, they really played some of their worst games of the season that series with horrible turnovers after turnovers. Plus the Mavs were red hot, hitting contested shot after shot. If Carter doesn't hit the buzzer 3 in GM4, Spurs go back home 3-1 and close out in 5. Instead he hits shot and it's extended to 7. Spurs only complete game was GM7 and it was a monumental ass whooping



Again, from someone who actually watched the Spurs this season

[MikelArteta]

Monta and Vince did

funny thing is dirk did not show up in the playoffs

Like golden state v Dallas years ago. Dallas would have swept any other 8th seed

[lightskin jermaine]

How about how good is Rick Carlisle?

bingo. carlisle is the 2nd best coach in the league. without him, dallas gets swept.

 

[King Jove]

the mavs were the only team that played somewhat decent defense on the spurs this playoffs.

lesbianist, the blazers are defensively and the thunder are too without ibaka.

 

[360dagod]

The Mavs familiarity with us made them a tougher challenge...plus our bench didn't show up

When the Spurs are at full octane, we cant be faded..
