Mavs 4 Spurs 1

Mavericks 105 Spurs 97
Mavericks 84 Spurs 105
Mavericks 88 Spurs 67
Mavericks 99 Spurs 90
Mavericks 106 Spurs 93

Mavericks win series 4-1

This team isn't going to win a championship*, but this is pretty sweet. I hate the Spurs, and I hate the great majority of Spurs' fans. They are cocky and brash...completely unwilling to credit pure luck for their success. One bad season and they get, arguably, the greatest first round pick in the last twenty years.

Yes, the Spurs have four championships. But Spurs fans live in the past. Here in the present, the Mavs have won the last two series against San Antonio. Spurs' fans love to bring up Miami and Golden State, but sandwiched between those two series are two Mavericks' series victories.

Yes, Ginobili was out. If Spurs' fans want to use that as an excuse, they forfeit their 2003 NBA title because they beat the Mavericks without Dirk Nowitzki. And they only avoided a game 7 in that series because of an unfathomable performance by Steve Kerr.

Tonight, we win. Tonight, Dallas is greater than San Antonio. Tonight, Tim Duncan is crying his little eyes out. He played to his potential, and they still lost. Suck it.

GO! MAVS! GO! MAVS! GO! MAVS!
