I'm going out on a limb here, and this thread is purely intended for entertainment value.

However, I wanted to provide an official excuse thread for all the Spurs trolls who are only going to show up after wins and won't show up after losses. With that in mind, may I present: The Official Excuse Thread for Spurs Fans everywhere after the Mavs lay the smack down. Also known as things most likely to be read on a Spurs message board after a series loss.

1. The NBA is out to hold down small market teams. They told the refs to ref against us.
2. Duncan is hurt and isn't healthy.
3. We played a brutal series against the Kings. The Mavs had the advantage of rest.
4. The NBA scheduled against us by making Game 1 so early.
5. The NBA is against us, because they wouldn't reseed until the second round.
6. Mark Cuban bought out the refs.
7. Mark Cuban bribed Nick Van Exel to shoot all those bricks.
8. Avery Johnson knows all the Spurs plays. He shouldn't be allowed to coach against us.
9. Dirk's hair distracted us.
10. Tony Parker is hurt.
11. Tony Parker couldn't focus because Eva Longoria is his girlfriend.
12. When in doubt, blame Rasho.
13. If that doesn't work, blame Nazr.
14. Screw Cuban for dumping that no talent hack Finley on us.
15. We're too old.
16. Trade Duncan.
17. Fire Pop! Hire Larry Brown.
18. We're the better team, the Mavs got lucky.
19. Duncan is anti-clutch.
20. We didn't play Manu enough. We should have played Manu more.
21. Trade Manu.
22. The NBA wanted to see a Mavs-Phx reunion instead of a Spurs Suns showdown.
23. The NBA is racist. They wanted a white superstar to get to the Finals.
24. F Nick Van Exel.
25. We lost because Pop wouldn't play Beno.
26. Sign Bonzi Wells.
