2019-20 Mavs News

[ClutchDirk]

Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson recently appeared on The Bill Simmons Podcast and Barnes revealed that a documentary about the 2006-07 Golden State Warriors—who eliminated the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks in that year's postseason—is in the works. 

"We're in the midst of getting a 'We Believe' documentary together," Barnes said, referencing the team's nickname (h/t Tommy Call III of Warriors Wire).

I cannot remember a team milk a single series win more than that team. Literally got mopped by the Jazz the next round and only beat us because Don Nelson was 12 steps ahead of Avery and knew every single way to counter Dirk. 

Only reason I'm still salty is because scrubs like Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes always talk garbage about Dirk when the only time they ever won a chip was either being a washed up bench scrub or as a 4th/5th option. 

(Can you tell I'm still bitter?)

So we should get a documentary about 2001 when we were down 0-2 in a best of 5 against a very seasoned veteran playoff team...We did put the final nail in the Malone Stockton dynasty that year...

Just saying...

I was at the game in that awful arena where they beat us and broke our 18 game winning streak. I only thought that was painful. Our team won 67 games that year and may have been our best, certainly most dominating team. To have those two (ahem, less than wonderful persons) beat us was really hard to take. That was one of at least 4 times we could easily have won the title. I also count the 87-88 Mavs. If they could have taken a game in LA, we would have had a very good shot to win it all. Yet losing to the showtime lakers, no caps on purpose, was far easier to take than losing those guys. We weren't the only team Nellie ever beat with great game strategy though.

Nailed it...2001 is a great example...
