I respect them, especially Dirk but I don't think they can beat us this season in the playoffs.

I think we win 4-1.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

Dirk is always scary. Tony Parker should eat up Calderon though. That guy is a worse defender than Steve Nash. We should win this but they could draw from us upsetting them a couple years back in the first round. The roles are reversed this year. That makes me a bit nervous. If we are health though, we should walk through this series.

Won't be blowouts, but I'll say a sweep for the Spurs.

Dirk scares me as well but it should be a quick series.

I say Spurs in 5, if game 1 doesn't get stolen.

1st game of the series always has the biggest risk of getting stolen. Both teams don't yet know what they're going to throw out there and what to expect yet. Luckily with Dallas, I don't think there's really anything better that they can do defensively than they did in years past. This group isn't strong enough and way to undisciplined defensively. I can see Dirk and Monta stealing one game in the series where both just goes off. Possibly at their home. I'm thinking game 4 because it'll be a do or die game after we take the first 3 games. If not, then we'll have a game where we just can't hit anything and we lose because of it. Well, that's my prediction.

I really don't see how Dallas can even win the series.

Mavs roster is atrocious with the exception of DIRK leading those ragtag crew. Spurs in 5.

We got this in 4 or 5. I think we drop one of the first home games for some reason.

Ive got you guys sweeping this series and I would have predicted the same thing with Memphis, too bad PHX didnt get in, would have like to see youth vs experience play out, I could see phx pushing it to 5 or maybe with some luck 6 games

Blair's wish is coming true, you got the Spurs in the playoffs! You really took a leap this year with your 6.4 points and 4.7 rebounds. It'll be nice to sweep the Mavs and you into the offseason! Come and get some!

Why the Blair hate? He was a fan favourite in SA and always seemed like a team player.

Blair was probably a fan favorite in his rookie year. After that, it just went downhill. All that complaining gets to you. And you must not know about all the crap he's saying after he left this season.

Fair enough. No idea what he's said since he left. His body language was almost always positive during games. I liked him because he was an underdog for a number of reasons and still want him to do well wherever he is.

I was still pulling for him until he started bad mouthing us. We gave him tons of chances to suceed and pissed all of them away.

Leonard backs down one of the leagues worst defenders, turns to shoot and has no idea what to do with the ball and puts up a chuck hook... he needs so much more work lol

edit: Harris running rings around Mills at the moment
