Both teams are good and dangerous in a series. I'm pretty sure we can agree on that. I believe this all got started because we (The Rockets) were left out of the poll.
As much as we (Houston fans) are used to our teams being left out of the spotlight (ESPN, etc. never EVER gives us any credit), we still can get offended from time to time because of these snubbings.

i sure do and ur still full of

[QUOTE]spurs are has been's. parker is good, ginobili is a ***** flopper, and duncan is old and inconsistent[/QUOTE

^^^you certainly are illiterate...

no matter if duncan is soft, gets dunked on, etc. the dude can play and would school anyone on fundamentals. PERIOD! He isn't athletic but I guarantee he would be the first guy a NBA team would pick up to play his position. That is why this soft dude, too nice guy has 3 rings and mvp's! Jus cause he had a bad foot last year doesn't make him old. He still schooled weak *** centers and even ur mavs team last year with a bad foot. It's just too bad da sorry *** mavs caught a break! neway....
Don't talk **** mija!! As far as my knowledge with basketball, it is definitely up there especially when it comes to my team. I guarantee I would teach you a thing or two when it comes to basketball... let me kno if you want classes!

See the problem with discussing sports is just what is happening here:

To properly have a debate about sports teams, EVERYBODY has to be a subjective fan, and not just say..."Well, your team sucks...and mines better". That's not a valid argument. You MUST back it up by FACT and NOT opinion.

The Mavericks are the best team in the NBA by about 5 games over the Suns. This is a FACT! They are outscoring their opponents by almost 8.2 pts a game...This is a FACT! They have the 3rd best defense in the NBA, This is a FACT. They have the best HOME record and the best ROAD record, this is oddly enough another FACT.

Mavs are 3-1 Against Houston...(FACT)
Mavs are 2-1 Against San Antonio (FACT)
Mavs are 2-0 Against Phoenix (FACT)

They are 32-6 against the Western Conference and 12-2 in their own division.

Ya'll need to quit bashing teams just cuz you don't like them, be OBJECTIVE and provide facts for your opinions.

Granted the Mav's had some shitty teams in the 90's that, granted and THAT's a FACT as well. However, since Mark Cuban took ownership the Mav's have gone from laughing stock to an "elite" team since 2001, and that's a FACT!

Who cares about the past? Who cares that Houston has one Championship in the last 10(?) years, who cares that SA has 3? This is here and now, the 2006/2007 season.

To the respondent above that mentioned about that they couldn't win it all. What do you expect? The team is very young in playing together. That was Jason Terry's first full season. You can't expect a bunch of guys to get together like they did and win their FIRST year. Sure, would have loved it, but it wasn't in the cards obviously.

The Mav's have a BETTER chance of winning a championship this year, they SEEM to have their heads on straight. They should beat their first round opponent in 3, 2nd round opponent in 5, conf finals in 6, and then the championship in 5 (east is sucking this year).

Everything except for my predictions for the playoffs is based on FACT not OPINION or what I THINK they do. Throw some cold hard numbers fella's and some references would be nice!

for example : http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/standi...e&seasontype=2

There ya go!

Go Mavs!

Good post. And I agree. This thread could be endless w the way that it is going, but for someone that knows so much about the nba, I would think you'd know that dallas would need to win 4 games in the first round to get to the next.

I thought first round was best of 5? Whoops, I was wrong, sorry 'bout that. I can admit when I'm wrong! Didn't 1st round used to be best of 5? I can't remember!

^^who gives a crap about their awesome season & stats! Playoffs is another level and the west is going to be exciting with the top three teams in the mix.
The regular season success & stats doesn't guarantee a title my friend.

I do give Avery Johnson big props for turning around that franchise. He is their coach but is always a SPURS fan...
1. Phoenix 2. Dallas 3. San Antonio

ok I'm objective...I picked my spurs 3rd bcus their defense ain't the same like it used to be. I just don't see any team beating phoenix in 7 game series this year with stoudemire healthy and if nash finds a way also to stay healthy, than I w/o a doubt choose Phoenix.

^^ spurs young team did! 2003
too bad we couldn't keep the same fkn roster after they won their titles. oh well! they still dominated the west till this year.

GO SPURS GO

Now, COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES and ORANGES TO ORANGES, not apples to oranges.

One finals loss does not equal the Bills loosing FOUR straight Super Bowls....draw a better comparison than that please! So, you think the Detroit Tigers who haven't been to a WS in over 20 years choked as well? Fell flat on their face last November?

Gimmie a break!

ok, I back my opinions up with facts.....what you basing the playoff runs by? Becauset that's YOUR team or are you going by a biased opinion? I'm a Mav's fan, maybe my opinion is a bit skewed, however, the stats don't lie.

Their defense is better than last year, their offense is better than last year and they've proven almost EVERY game that they can hang with "the big boys", thus why they have spanked the Spurs every game except the FIRST game of the season.
