Good win last night. Dampier's play was a nice bonus, but I'm not expecting it again. Nice to see Harris and Daniels playing significant minutes.
If that Dirk is the one that shows up all playoffs, it's gonna be a fun ride.

Fun ride to next round and then done.

EXCELLENT POINT!!!Originally Posted by william_brasky
SPEK to the genius contribution from the WELL informed gentleman.
Mavs are a great team for the regular season - lots of depth. But the playoffs are about who has the best 8 man rotation. That is what is going to cost the Mavs I think. The question will be, how far can Dirk carry this team?
And speaking of Dirk, it is being reported that he is not the MVP. Avery is coach of the year however.
I agree about the 8 man rotation, but I disagree that that's where the Mavs are lacking.Originally Posted by BeetDigger
Starting Five:
Terry
Dirk
Howard
Dampier/Diop
Griffin
First 3 off the Bench:
Stackhouse
Harris
Daniels
That's a pretty solid Top 8 when all our healthy. Judging by the minutes they got, that's close to happening. A quick series is a must.

I am not the best person to debate how good the Mav top 8 are compared to other team's top 8's. I just don't follow the NBA close enough to be able to analyze it with conviction.Originally Posted by colleyvillesooner
I do have a good buddy who lives and dies the Mavs, goes to tons of games, who feels that the top 8 of the Mavs don't stack up. Dirk is as good as it gets (which I agree). But he doesn't feel the rest stack well. I tend to agree. Especially at center. And Griffin wasn't even playing this year until the Mavs called him was he? Terry is a good point, but he is more of a scorer than a point and there are other point guards in the playoffs that are better.
On a head to head matchup, I think that the Mavs lose on every one to the Spurs (and really to many other playoff teams), save for Dirk. I do like the bench for the Mavs however. But is it enough to tip the scale? Personally, I don't think so. But, here I am acting like I really know much about the Mavs and the NBA and I really don't follow it real close.
It really just comes down to opinion. I think this Mavs team can beat this Spurs team. And if not, give them a hell of a tough series. The Spurs have a great Top 8, but we'll see how Finley and Van Exel hold up.Originally Posted by BeetDigger

Detroit may have the best starting 5, but I think the Spurs are solid deeper than any other team. And their starting 5 aren't chopped liver.
Do you remember how Finley plays in the playoffs?Originally Posted by sanantoniosooner

He will probably torch the Mavs; isn't that how it always goes?Originally Posted by colleyvillesooner
He's a role player here. And I'll bet he gets plenty fired up to play Dallas.Originally Posted by colleyvillesooner
well there's a first for everything i suppose.....Originally Posted by sanantoniosooner
I hate to break this to you guys, but the Spurs have 3 recent titles without him.
If you think Finley will let us down, your worried about 1 role player out of many.
Robert Horry is kicking the crap out of Sac-town right now.
Horry is 3-3 from 3 point land. Spurs are down 5 at halftime.Originally Posted by sanantoniosooner
How's that kick the crap out of someone?
