haha

 

I thought I was the only one who noticed this. :upside:

 

far from it sir. fact is the thread got life only when the jazz drew the lakers in the 1st round. from my view ... most of the posters simply hope OR wish for the jazz to beat he lakers. but deep in their hearts ... the know the lakers will simply rumble over the jazz. as jerry sloan says ... we're just a bump on the road for them.

 

ach ... those losses against minnesota and golden state which set up the first round date against kobe and co . must bear heavily on their minds ...

Someone even actually said in the Lakers thread that if a Western team can topple the Lakers, it's the Jazz daw. I dunno if it was a jazz fan though.

 

Well, yeah, i dunno why you dropped those games at the end of the season. The Mavs would've been the ones the Lakers would be giving a hard time right now and you'd be cruising against the banged up Spurs. Well, the dice has been rolled. Gotta take what you get.

I call it the reward of the Mavs' hard work in the closing of the regular season. ;)

 

@ FF - where have you been?

And lots of luck. The Jazz closed badly and the Hornies struggled to establish a solid hold of their spot.

 

Well, if that's your opinion, bro. I respect it.

 

Personally, I don't believe so much in luck. I believe that we make our own luck. These teams all have games to win sans injuries or not. The Mavs won their games and the Jazz and the Hornets did not. I would like to credit that to the sense of urgency that Dallas felt when the Suns threatened to grab the 8th and last playoff spot. All Dallas needed to do was win their remaining games which they did. Then everything fell into place. "Luck" smiled on the Mavs because they put themselves in position to grab the 6th playoff spot. If the Jazz or the Hornets did everything they can to avoid getting in position of losing their higher seeding, they would still be holding it right now.

 

C'mon, the Mavs' final opponents didn't just roll over and handed us the wins. Ask the Rockets. And I didn't attribute your Lakers' success to luck either. Even when they were able to wrest Gasol from the Grizzlies. I call it superb team managing. ;)

 

And I call my Mavs' positioning in the playoffs as superb basketball showing in the regular season's last few games. :)

I never belittled what the Mavs were able to do. I'm just saying that the Mavs' wins are, of course, their own doing. However, I'm saying that they got lucky because the Jazz and Hornies couldn't get their crap together at the end of the season. No diss to the Mavs there. I'm just calling it as it is. No need to drag on the luck issue to the Lakers thread. ;)
