The Suns have already played the Wolves without Garnett and beat them by 29.

Did you play them w/o Garnett while not having Nash, Bell, & KT?

Who cares? The Mavericks have had a great regular season, we should all bow down to their dominance, so on and so forth, la de da. We get it. Let's see whether your team can beat the Suns or Spurs when it matters.

We already have so shut up. Yada yada yada. . . . can't wait to see the Spurs in the WCF.

What are you talking about? As you conveniently forget on what seems to be a daily basis, the Suns and Mavericks have split their last two playoff series.

If you care to know what you're talking about -- which you've already made it pretty clear you don't -- you could do a bit of searching and see that I don't use injuries as an excuse for anything.

I will say, however, that the Mavericks got spectacularly lucky at the end of the Spurs series, the choke job against the Heat confirms that, and all Dallas fans know it. So regarding another showdown with San Antonio, be careful what you wish for.

Been to the Finals lately?? Didn't think so. Stop with your excuse making and spinning. Suns don't have what it takes to get it done against the Spurs nor the Mavs. So go make more excuses.

Lucky? Okay excuse maker. "Mavericks got lucky waah waah waah", tired of your lame excuses. Suns have yet to do what the Mavs have done and that's the bottom line. The rankings are as follows.

Spurs

Mavericks



Suns

End of story.

Ohhh-kaaaaaay. Check back with me when the hangover wears off, or whatever the drug stupor that you're currently suffering under is.

No one cares about Finals appearances -- trust me, any Suns fan knows that all too well. Over the last two years, the Suns and the Mavericks are each 4-2 in playoff series, including 1-1 against each other. If you want to call that an "excuse," you're evidently aware of some application of the term that I'm not familiar with.

Won any Finals lately? That's all that matters. Getting there and failing isn't something to hang your hat on. Do you see the Lakers hanging a 2004 Second Place banner in Staples? The Lakers have been in damn near half of all the Finals played, and we lost a bunch of them...the only thing Laker fans feel about those losses is anger and bitterness (see: hatred of Celtics). We certainly aren't hanging our hat on them or using Second Place Smack Talk strategies.

Puff your chest when you win something. I now officially want the Suns to beat the Mavs if the two meet...congrats on that, as it makes me throw up in my mouth to think about it.

 

[JCSunsfan]

oops, wrong thread.

 

[HooverDam]

Well the Clippers beat the Lakers tonight, which makes me happy.

I was hoping we could have the Clippers in the #7 seed, and the Warriors in the #8 seed, but I don't think thats possible. Ah well, my main hope is for the Warriors to go #8 and hopefully push the Mavs to at least 6.

 

[slinslin]

The Clips have no chance to get into the playoffs.

The Lakers have a game against us left but so do the Clips. The series is tied 2-2 but the Lakers have the better winning % in the division.

In order for the Clips to overtake the Lakers they have to go 4-0 which includes beating us in Phoenix and the Lakers need to go 1-2.

Golden State is likely to sweep their last 4 games unless Dallas plays their complete lineup.

We shouldn't bother...greeny seems to be off somewhere wrapped in the WCF banner from last year saying "make the bad men with logic go away!"

True! It's funny how he went away after the last few Suns Mavs games. I wonder why that is.....

The Mavs better pray we don't get past the Spurs. Well.. not that it matters. They will not beat either the Suns or Spurs in a 7 game series.

uh, they beat a better Spurs team last year, without homecourt advantage. I don't mean to defend Dallas, but I have no idea how you make the above statement other than to talk trash that just makes you look foolish.

 

[Ronin]

Tim Duncan(plantar fasciitis) and Manu Ginobili(fatigued) were pretty banged up going into that series against Dallas. As it's been said Tim Duncan basically pooped on Dallas interior defense, imagine what he would've done if he was 100%.

Making excuses for other teams now?? That's a new one. Imagine what they'll do to you? Can't wait to play the Spurs again and shut all you ****'s up!!

 

[Ronin]

Excuse? Nah, I think it’s pretty impressive that the spurs were mere seconds away from advancing to the finals with that team.

btw my point was directed at the Spurs were a better team last year, which they were not. IMO

I don't buy those excuses - "fatigue"? Come on now. In reality, the Mavs were seconds away from actually beating the Spurs in 5 games and then the series only made it to Game 7 because the Spurs barely squeaked by Dallas in game 6 with Jason Terry suspended. Man for man, the Mavs matchup better with Spurs because they can actually run and have size on the floor, where as we matchup poorly with them because our lack of size precludes us from running successfully against them.

however, we matchup VERY well with the Mavs and if by some miracle, we get past the Spurs, we'll wipe the floor with those crying babies from Dallas in 6 games, no doubt about it. I mean, if an Amare-less, 1/2 Raja-less Suns team last year could push them to six games, there's no reason to believe we couldn't do to them what we did in 2005, which was kick their ass with only 4 starters.

I can respect this more than some of the other trash people were throwing around. But weren't we just one JET mental gaff away from forcing a game 7? I'd like to say I hope to see you in the Finals, but as I said, I'd rather play the Spurs b/c in actuallity, we do match up a lot better against them.

sure, against a team with only 4 starters. And it wasn't fair of me to say that kicked their ass, but wwe definitely ripped their hearts out and did it in less than 7 games, down a major starter. I could also easily say we were one Q Rich three away from winning the first three games of that series and likely having it done in 5, but I don't quibble over specific plays because there are so many plays that decide a game - and it's one of the reasons I don't ascribe to the "Mavs are lucky because Manu fouled Dirk", that team still had a 20 point lead and was taking it to the Spurs before a goood dose of home-cooking and great play got them back in it - suspensions and injuries completely forcing people out of games have an effect on a series (not an excuse - I'm not saying you beat us because of injuries last year, just saying it gives me confidence to see how a less-than-healthy team did against you if we go in totally healthy).

Bottom line, the Mavs did their job and can sit back and have their dirty work done for them - it's a really weird merry-go-round with these three teams as I'm failry confident the Mavs can beat the Spurs, but not the Suns, the Suns can beat the Mavs, but not the Spurs and the Spurs can beat the Suns, but not the Mavs.

should be very interesting to see how it all plays out.

San Antonio is resting their guys tonight--Memphis is up by 13 at halftime.

just a couple of weeks ago you were singing a whole different song. I won't be surprised to see the same thing happen again. I think this dallas-sanantonio-phoenix triangle is overrated. Either way you spin it I think those teams will probably play 7 games against each other. I'm just glad dallas won't have to do it against the spurs again in the 2nd round. I think dallas and phoenix are both better than they were 2 years ago and since then the head to head record is nearly tied with a lot of close games. So why pro suns people claim that they have an edge over dallas is beyond me. It's also hard for me to believe people claim the mavs have a clear edge over the spurs when you look at their head to head play....and the empty trophy case. The only thing that is clear when looking at the three is that the spurs have a great record against the suns of late.
