Gonna be a great series.... 1st time in a long time the Spurs are completely healthy, that said I say it goes 7!

He has twice before and will continue to. I never underestimate the ability of the Mavericks to choke, but not to this Spurs team. If Blair gets big minutes alongside Duncan though, 1 of them should chew Dallas's out on the offensive glass.

I see chances 50:50, but I predict the Mavs win in 7.

Manu's warmup round-Spurs in 6 EASY

Mavericks in 5

Dirk outplayed Duncan in the playoffs last year.

Jeez, outplaying a Tim Duncan that wasn't even healthy. Do you ever contribute to threads other than either stating the complete obvious or sounding like a biased homer?

Dirk is still a top 10 player in the NBA. He choked in the 2007 NBA Playoffs, but he has been a much better individual player than Duncan since 2008.


3 days avatar bet that Dirk would outplay Duncan in the playoffs.

3 days avatar bet? Wow, you are really taking a risk here. Either way, you're stupid.

Nice to see you name-calling, quite offensive though. That being said, I offer you a one week avatar bet that the Spurs will take out the Mavericks in the playoff series. One week, 7 days, It's doubled the bet you made.

DEAL

Wouldn't surprise me if this series ends the same as last year. Mavs in 5. Chances are it goes to 6.

It's funny how some Spurs fans call Dirk a "choker" when Dirk NEVER choked playing the Spurs in the playoffs, I expect this series to go 6 or 7 games because these teams know each other alot.

Dirk has never choked against the Spurs, but he has choked against other teams....So you probably do have point. The Spurs have changed though, so maybe Dirk's performances will too.

mavs beat the spurs without marion and butler - twice

the only addition on SA side is rj

MAVS in 5 or 6
