Yup...
I still am thinking about how this is the best stretch of basketball we've seen Dallas have to finish a season in quite a while.

I am hoping that the Mavs team we see in the playoffs will be the Mavs team we have seen of late. If they play with that energy and that desire there will be two teams with a road win. I say Mavs in seven!!

Game 2 is on my birthday. Wouldn't that be something to win a 7 game series after 2 games?

The biggest obstacle in this series is not guarding Parker or Duncan... but trying to go up against Pop in a best of 7 game series.

True. But I get the feeling that R C is worthy of this upcoming battle! IMO what puts us over the top is Josh Howard. If he plays D, slashes and goes to the cup relentlessly we will win.

db.com lays it out on the line for ya:
Who would you rather be in the matchup vs Pop:
Carlisle or Avery?
It's also a big deal for Dwayne Casey.

Does the Spurs board have a poll? I'm curious to see how their fans voted. Copy/paste it here if you can.

Well, that makes two reasons to have a drink: Either celebration of frustration

I think I'll stay away from Spurs boards to keep my cool. They can all rot in the pits of the worst fans of all time over there for all I care. They show no respect and deserve none.
Man I'm pumped about this. I literally haven't been this excited about the Mavs since the last time we met up with the Spurs in the playoffs. I hate them to the bitter end....and regret nothing!!!!
GO MAVS!!!

My birthday is in December.
Mavs in 6. Dirk averages 36/9/3 and breaks Bowen's leg somewhere in the process. Final Answer.

You really thought three of the series were going seven, according to form?

You should always assume I'm being sarcastic. (You know this already, of course)

For the past year or so, I've kinda thought that Manu was the Spurs best offensive weapon. Without him, this Spurs team is extremely ordinary. The Mavs are definitively the better team. However, that does not assure a win. The Mavs managed to lose quite a few games this season in which they were definitively the better team.
Originally, I was thinking Mavs in 5..then settled on Mavs in 6. If this series goes 6, it'll be because the Mavs lay at least one huge egg in a game.

I am entirely disappointed to have chosen the Mavs in seven. I guess expected more from Junior Miller's Spurrrrrrs!
