I think now you see the difference between good teams and good players. The mavs are a great team, Dirk is not a great player, hes a good player, without his supporting cast of Terry and Howard, The Suns were almost Daring Dirk to shoot the ball, I see the Spurs scouting this game to expose the mavs in the playoffs.

Yes, you must be right. Every player can get 30, 16 and 6. Daring Dirk to shoot? They were throwing everything but the kitchen sink at him. So, are you trying to say Nash isn't a great player? Since he has Marion and Stoudemire. And finally, the Spurs know the Mavs better than any team out there. They already know how to play the Mavs.

I don't know if I would classify them as vulnerable just yet. However they do seem a little out of focus. I'm a Suns fan and have been since the KJ and Hornacek days but I'll be the first to admit that they should have lost last night but fundamentals killed Dallas down the stretch. Missed free throws and an unnecessary foul by Dirk on Nash were crucial in the outcome of that game. They need to get focused quickly because the Piston's are playing well and the Spurs are on a tear as of late winning 13 straight. So this is not the time for mental mistakes if they want to remain the #1 seed out west.

I think they might win against the pistons and maybe the the cavs but the red hot spurs that might be a challange for them if the suns beat the mavs what wil lhappen with spurs and don't forget about Lebron I know he's wanting some renvnege for what happend last time if he didn't get the game winning shot last time he will this time so I think they should be carful and NOT FOUL and PLAY like they did Last night vs. the Suns if they do this they wil be fine win go on to win their games easily, but if they lose no biiggie it's only march they will still be #1 in the west.

No. I think these late losses will build character for the playoffs. This way, they can humbly go into the playoffs with hunger; to avoid the same mistakes the Pistons made last season.
Vulnerable or not, it will still be tough to beat the Spurs at their best in several years. Manu Ginobili is playing his best basketball again, Timmy is playing with some bitterness. The Spurs appear to be very hungry and want to prove to the league that Phoenix and the Mavs that they are still here.
This will be a very interesting playoffs in the West.

Pistons have a tendancy to get slightly lazy interior the playoffs - it shows in almost each and every sequence on condition that they gained in 2004. whilst concentrated, they beat absolutely everyone that they arrive for the time of. Pistons win the 1st interest at abode, lose video games 2 and 3 with the aid of the two a million) undesirable shooting, 2) loss of concentration/power on protection or 3) some form of 'Sheed meltdown. They then calm all the way down to win the subsequent 3 - Pistons in 6 interior the West, the Jazz purely don't have sufficient adventure or weapons to deal with Duncan and gang - San Antonio cruise in 5 to a rematch of the 2005 finals.

sorry mate, no. if you watched the game last nite, the mavs got beat by two points only and it took two OTs before the suns pulled that one out...
dirk and co will recover. these 4 games (suns, pistons, spurs and cavs) is a test of their championship potential... if they win the next, well, the other teams are already devising plays agains the mavs....
btw, they are 31-1 against all other teams (except the warriors) when scoring 100+ points a night.

They are sort of vulnerable, because each of the teams they are about to face really really wants a chunk of them, and is going to fight hard and nasty, but that is what we all love about the game, right? :)))
Let the best team win! I think that the Mavs have more chances than anyone else.

if anything the spurs were scouting it to watch for the suns weakness but they weren't daring him to shoot the ball they were always in his face.

I think every team has shown their vulnerability at some point in the season.
