For me its, 1. Mark Cuban - No explaination needed 2. Dirk - For being a pathetic flopper, whiner and choker. 3. Josh Howard - for being a dirty player, a trash talker. 4. Devin Harris - for being the worst flopper in the game, for playing dirty 5. Eric Dampier - for claiming to be the 2nd best center in the league 6. Jerry Stackhouse - for his attitude and ... Oops. I guess there's more reasons to hate the mavs after all.
Jesus Christ, have some dignity. The obsession with the Mavs on this board is downright embarrassing considering that it isn't even a rivalry. They are flat out better than us.
1. Dirk 2. Mark Cuban 3. The most important: that playoff series when finley was out of bounds, and the referee didnt saw that 4. They are in the same division
1. Devin Harris- because he is the most annoying cheap-shot-taking flopper I've ever seen in my whole life 2. Jason Terry- because he is the ugliest mofu I've ever seen and he always gets lucky and kills us, in addition to his "I am the best ever" attitude that could be seen through his sorry a$$ $hitty facial expression 3. Jirk- because he is an overrated douchebag who flops like a little girl 4. Stackhouse- because he is weird r****ded bald guy who acts like he is taking a dump when he shoots Freethrows and who always goes off on us 5. I hate them for brining in a r****ded 6-8 scrub who was named after a salt-water fish but went Michael Jordan on our sorry a$$e$ fronting Yao like crazy and hitting turnaround shots from 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gosh I hate this team...
by the way, original poster, why in god's name is your moniker "devin23"? I already hate you for having the same name as this weird flopping dirty smurf..
5. Their bench is deeper 4. They have a deadly shooting guard 3. They have a true point guard or two 2. They have a power forward 1. They have a better coach and owner Let's be real here people. We hate what we cannot seem to attain.
you forgot that they have a very impressive pointforward who isn't just a swingman (like Tmac) wait, is Mac a pointforward or is he just a swingman?
1. They think they won the 04-05 Hou-Dal series fairly. That's it, really. I honestly would love to have Josh Howard or Devin Harris on the Rox . Their tall backcourt should be our envy.
Rivalries don't have to be competitive to still be a rivalry. The Mavs don't have a single thing I want. I'm happy enough with my own flawed Rockets to envy Dallas's years of sucking followed by a few good years of choking in the playoffs. Kam had it right. Dallas is more than enough reason for a Houstonian to foster hatred/a rivalry with it.
1. they are located in Dallas 2. their fans 3. they have no rings 4. nowitzki has no leadership qualities 5. nowitzki has no impact on the low block on either side of the floor 6. ask a Dallas fan who the all time leading scorer in Mavs history is. they have no clue 7. nowitzki is soft 8. nowitzki is overrated 9. their best player is the reason they havent won a title how often does that happen not including injury? 10. cuban whines to the refs. its almost admirable at first but ridiculous in the end.
Cuban was the first reason why I hated the Mavs a long time ago. I was fine with them until he came along. I was also fine with the the Spurs until Gino came along waving around his floppy disk.
Exactly! Imagine if you were Mavs fan and you saw some of this crap being written by the bitter fans of a team you completely owned. Unbelievable.
we used to have Kelena Azubuike but our coach released him and now he has a HIGH PER and plays for a team that moves the ball. And he is 6-5 and athletic. But some still feel JVG was a genius......
I can only think of three. 1) Mark Cuban is a nuevo-riche arse. 2) Don Nelson recognized the value of matchups in selecting personnel. 3) Avery Johnson and Donny Nelson learned Don Nelson's matchup philosophy too well and semi-enhanced it.
