Truly one of the most overrated teams in NBA history...went on those ridiculous streaks during the season against teams with superstars missing
So much for their vaunted defense hahahaha...DIRK CAN'T GUARD A PARKED CAR.
Will the Mavs ever show some toughness on D (especially from their leader ???
Just like those good teams they had in 02, 03, 04, 05 and 06....choke in the playoffs with zero D!
Dirk is one helluva offensive star but he got exposed on D by the warriors! He avoids contact and doesn't defend the other teams' big man, and well this is what you get...spanking in the playoffs

Hey you can't "luck out" in a playoff series...you get 4 wins you win the series and move on...Mavs the great basketball team can't get 4 lousy wins against a .500 team?????
Oh yea didn't the mavs win 67 games, like you said? 4 games shouldn't be hard right???
Like I said, Mavs got away with playing teams with major superstars missing due to injuries. Plus Dirk always got to roam freely and left the defending duties to Eric Dampier or Croshere or Diop or George and he never guards the other team's premier big man...that is not a quality you look for in your leader.
Warriors have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy tooo many offensive weapons and Dirk got exposed...if Howard checks Davis, whos gonna get J-Rich?
who's gonna get Stephen Jackson?
Who's gonna get Al harrington?
Monte ellis??
Howard a legit premier defender can't guard all 5, so its up to others to step up defensively especially Dirk (who clearly has not)
Man Nelson is smart...playing 5 shooting guards at one time

This is absolutely hilarious. Dirk no-win-zki continues to show his inability to lead and the mavs are going down in flames.
Dirk can be shut down by non-densive players just put your shooting guard or small forward on him.
Just pathetic how scared he is of the post
You're 7 feet tall, play like it for once in your life

I think the Mavs true MVP is Josh Howard. He is the do it all player that they have, and the only Mavs player that consistently gives the Warriors trouble.
Dirk can't be an MVP if he can't dominate the post against a team that doesn't use a 7 footer. Nelson knows Dirk prefers not to post, and has taken advantage of this weakness in Dirk's game.
Until Dallas makes the Warriors pay in the paint, they will continue to lose. They also need to find a way to slow down Baron Davis. Maybe they should stick Josh Howard on him. Too bad Howard would get in foul trouble if they did that. I guess the Warriors will take the series then!
Go Warriors!

I have now disliked Dirk for 2 yrs now and am able to prove to my friends that he is a panzee. I saw what was rated as his top ten plays of the season. He was anti-contact for nine in a row. Every shot he either backs down his defender two steps or fakes in the same spot then he does a fade away like he thinks he might get blocked or something. I would rate him on a scale of 0-10 as 1 dud. The only people i think that should get Mvp are the people that actually help out their team. Like Kobe or Nash.

(response to one of responders) Beating the mavericks by double digits is not lucking out. If they squeeked wins by dallas by 1-5 points you could say that. But if they're beating them by 13 or 22 points you cant say that.
Watch the game. GS is flat out manhandling them. For the most part of the game and even in their loss they controlled the tempo of the game.
Avery has that same blank stare he had in the NBA finals and I am loving it.
Like you i'm tired of hearing about their great defense. What happened when they allowed dwayne wade to beat them? Or even their lasty two games against phx when they allowed 110+ points? What happaned tonight when they allowed 61 points in the 1st half alone. Great defensive teams do not allow a team to score 61 points in the first half ESPECIALLY not a playoff game.

I never claimed that the Mavs were going to win it all this year. Number 1 team rarely wins it when they get cocky. It's usually the lower seeded teams that know they have to fight for the championship that win it.
Another true color moment you forgot to mention in the additional details--Mark Cuban letting Nash go. Choke Mavs, choke!

This isn't even a question, it's just stated in question form. But I'm not complaining, unlike Mavericks fans. Go Warriors! BTW Josh Howard is an absolute beast, if Dallas doesn't have him they would be done. He's their real MVP.

It happens too the Mavs every year.They choke in the playoffs with consistency. Never thought it would be any different this year.

1st let me say this, I hope the Warriors pull it off, but Dallas is the better team and expect that they will win it all after they get out of this series.
