On the topic of beating San Antonio, so far this year the Mavs are 1-1 against them. The first meeting was a blowout, 103-84, Dirk having 34 points, Devin Harris scoring 22, and Josh Howard scoring 17. Meeting #2 was a much closer game, the Mavs losing 92-90. But in that game the defense was better and the scoring was more even with 4 players scoring in double figures. So in summarizing that, I think the Mavs have a much better chance of putting the Spurs away this year, especially since Timmy and Tony aren't at 100%...we'll see if and how they come back. Be sure to tune in March 2nd, Mavs vs. Spurs #3! Go Mean Green!
