Mavs vs. Spurs Podcast: Getting reacquainted

by J.R. Wilco on Nov 26, 2010 1:22 PM CST in Conversations & Podcasts

The Spurs play their old nemesis, the Dallas Mavericks, tonight. And it's the the first time the teams have met since the first round of last year's playoffs. While we can look back on that series with fond memories, they are somewhat tainted by how the playoffs ended.

While this year's Spurs team is quite different from the one that took out Cuban's boys, the Mavs have changed quite a bit themselves. So, I thought it would be worthwhile to have a chat with LJRotter, the manager of MavsMoneyball. We talked about the roster changes of both the Mavs and Spurs, went into the different playing styles each team is using this year, and still had time for just a little smack-talk before the end. So, take a jump to have a listen.

Hey there, unbranded horse! It's been a while since we've met. Allow me to reintroduce myself.

Should be an interesting listen, thanks.

Ps. First!

Commenting before you’ve listened? You should be ashamed of yourself.

P.S. Congrats on being first.

Being first took precedence. I know, I’m lame.

Not at all. Wayne used to do it too.

Wait. Did I just prove your point, or mine?

GREAT RESPONSE to that ridiculous Eva Longoria question.

Wow… I guess the Mavs have turned into the Spurs (and not in a good way, as much as it pains me to say that). If they’re so dependent on Irk for scoring, it might be interesting to see if the Spurs run the offense through the man he’s guarding, to try to tire the German out before crunch time.

Great podcast, good choice for the theme song too, got me pumped up… I’d love to hear a running commentary from the two of you during tonight’s game (or a future Mavs-Spurs game).

Hey, if posting a sharp, insightful, yet non-sarcastic comment were that easy, even olf would do it.
