I would have rather the Mavs won, then lose in the next round. The Spurs have just been winning too much, I'm tired of seeing them win.
It really comes down to the fan base for me between the Spurs and Mavs. The Spurs have a more respectable and humble fan base, while the Mavs have a douches who are arrogant and cocky.
HELLLL MADDA YEAH! sooo glad that dallas mavs lost lol...those bunch cocky whinners...got beat by a humble team with class-act players (most of them). its anybody BUT dallas. mavs should give up on nowitski...guy is soft and takes too many jumpshots, doesnt put pressure on the opposing defense. if i were the mavs i would try to get BOSH instead of nowitski.
My top 3 most hated are... (now that Mavs are eliminated) 1.Celtics - wanna thugs and garnett <--beetch that starts fights with little guys, i wanna see if KG beetch would start shiiit with James or O'neal next round 2.Cavs - high school maturity, sore losers(lebron) 3.Lakers - kobe is great and all(one of the best ever) but plays dirty and whines when things don't go his way.
Like someone said earlier, this decade's spurs team is respectable. BTW they did own us in the post season. Who cares if they owned us in the reg season. The last time we played them in the playoffs, history was made. Even though they have more rings that doesn't bother me at this point, as long as the Mavs don't touch one.
I also hate the Mavs, but I would say the biggest team of d-bangs in the nba is still Utah. I mean, c'mon...It helped that Harpring retired, but they still have more douchery on that team than any where else
I know it's childish of me to see the Mavs lose,but I'm happy that they are out of the playoffs. The only team that I dislike more than them is the Utah Jazz.
I guess you and I are in the minority. I can't give more love to the Spurs than the Mavs when the Spurs have OWNED us. No matter how bad Mavs fans are I don't give two *****s about their fans, I care more about the teams and championships. I know the Mavs will never win one but at the same time the Spurs are always a threat to win one. Jazz Spurs Everyone else in my opinion.
Don't really care, one of them had to lose so thats a good thing...on the other hand one of them had to win also.
I suppose we are...in the minority. Maybe we're just old (speaking for myself, for sure). My list of "hated" NBA teams is topped by the Celtics. I am still pissed about the Finals in 81 and 86. Sure they were the better team. But, still... Jazz - 85, 97, 98, 07, 08. 'Nuf said. I do not need to explain this any further. Spurs - Sure, it's all "regular season" losses. However, living in Austin and having to deal with over a decade of torture and intolerable fans everywhere turned them into the Jazz Lite for me. I used to actually like them (kinda) back in the 80s. Sonics (R.I.HELL.) - 82, 87, 89, 93, 96. Holy crap. Talk about torture. Mavericks - 88, 05. Meh. They are basically the Clippers+ who happen to make it to the post season. It's the fact that they're from Dallas, Oklahoma -- and their fans. Cuban is a douche, but at least he cares. (Whoever corrected me earlier, thanks. It was, indeed, 3.5 Championships and not 4 as I incorrectly stated.)
