Mavs Spurs Playoff Matchup – TV Schedule

The Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs played each other in the final game of the season last night and the game had implications for both teams. Both the Mavs and Spurs knew that a Mavericks win would ensure the teams meeting up in the first round of the 2010 NBA Playoffs. However Greg Popovich decided that the San Antonio Spurs were going to roll without Tim Duncan or Manu Ginobli, which all but assured the teams meeting in the first round. Pop said he just wanted to rest these two stars:

“The bottom line is I’m paranoid about Tim being healthy and Manu being healthy for the playoffs.”

What a load of crap, these teams are off until Sunday so was rest really an issue?? I don’t think so, and I hope the Mavericks take this as a bit of a slap in the face by the Spurs. The Spurs told the Mavs “we want to play you” by pulling that stunt last night, and I hope the Mavs get fired up because of it.

I think the Mavs take the series in 6, the Spurs are getting old and they provided the Mavericks with some bulletin board material before the season. When you combine that with the Mavericks addition of Heyward and Butler, I just don’t see any other outcome.

Like I mentioned above the Mavericks-Spurs Round 1 playoff matchup will tip off on Sunday at the American Airlines Center. Below is the TV Channel, schedule, Game Time, and Ticket information.
