Really all America want is cold beer, warm p***y, and some place to take a s**t with a door on it. - Mr. Ford
I hate having Webber at the studio
He’s always biased against the Mavs…and I’m not sure if I agree with Barkley’s comments regarding the Mavs players and complaining about new-found freedom now that Avery’s gone.
Wow so much offensive movement already!
Am i dreaming?!
Rockets
Getting to the line early already. And Damp needs to start expecting the passes around the basket.
Kidd
coast to coast. I like that.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Wright
His D seems fine to me, just way to jittery on offense.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Ha, and it was the Rockets that ended up calling a timeout
I thought Carlisle was going to, but he let them play it out, work it out themselves
Yeah
Damp still sucks. Go Dirk.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Well
We all remember what happens to J-Ho after the 1st quarter…. He disappears. Hopefully that doesn’t happen this year.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Yao
hahaahahahaahahahahaahahahaha
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Nice 1st quarter
Love the tempo, but will they be able to sustain it? That’s the question.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
I think
it’s Stack sucking the life out of the team. With his sucktitude.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Carlisle
needs to take a TO, or put Dirk and Kidd in. It’s the 1st game, they don’t need that much rest.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Man
that is some terrible form. just wow.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Dirk
looks horrible.
"He wants to double the capital gains tax, or almost double it," Huizenga said. "I'd rather give it to charity than to him."
Rockets, if healthy, and that's a big if
going to the ship
"He wants to double the capital gains tax, or almost double it," Huizenga said. "I'd rather give it to charity than to him."
That makes me laugh
T-mac hasn’t won a playoff series yet and in one year they’re gonna win it all. I doubt it.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
u forget a lil someone
named Artest.
"He wants to double the capital gains tax, or almost double it," Huizenga said. "I'd rather give it to charity than to him."
In Mavs news
Why is Stack still in the game and why is Kidd not!?
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
What
When Kidd is in the Mavs look a lot smoother? You don’t say!
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Not too bad.
Put Kidd in we look GOOD take him out we look BAD. Simple enough.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Damn, Dirk
don’t hurt ’em like that.
And, i wish Kidd would shoot when he’s open…don’t be scared Jason!
"He wants to double the capital gains tax, or almost double it," Huizenga said. "I'd rather give it to charity than to him."
ugh.
after watching the first and only half for me, i’ve concluded that every coach that comes in here will have an unhealthy obsession with jerry stackhouse. there’s no reason why he should get off the bench before gerald green at this point. nothing will persuade me otherwise.

Wright
that’s inexcusable sir.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Wright sucks. He looks totally out matched.
Although I don’t know if he sucks (or if it’s possible to) worse than Stackhouse.
he just doesn't look comfortable
but im not sure i can blame him, he hasnt been in a role like this before.
I'd rather have Green in.
Unleash the beast.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Dirk has 35?
Man that’s amazing.

Not tonight....
at least not yet. i seem to recall someone saying he’s turnover-prone. i didn’t see any preseason, but that’s not the sort of thing that earns you PT.

I guess Carlisle doesn't see it that way.
http://www.nba.com/mavericks/stats/
.5 APG, 1.88 TOG in the preseason
He’ll see some time. Stack is old and won’t play a full season, but he’s probably a better option at this point.

Stack
just do us all a big favor and don’t shoot. Thanks.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Take him out
seriously he has to be a -14 or something when he’s on the floor.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
This has been a fun, high-scoring uptempo game
But this team shouldn’t need Dirk to score more than 40 to beat the Rockets
So instead
of Avery calling a TO every second Carlisle calls TO way too late.

Wow
Ron Artest is a freaking beast.
Why didn’t the Mavs trade for him…
"He wants to double the capital gains tax, or almost double it," Huizenga said. "I'd rather give it to charity than to him."
huh?
show me evidence since he left Indy.
yeah, that’s what i thought….

Not bad. We will break 400 by the end of the year.

Brooks
Former Oregon Duck great.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
I am disheartened by this
We gave up way too many points.
And who the hell is this Brooks guy that’s making us look kind of foolish?
Not so much
he went in the 2nd round.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Nope my bad
He went 26th but was projected to go in the 2nd. Screw me.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
rick has some work to do
we have no defense right now
110 points to a team that doesn’t normally score a lot
not good
I'm not panicking.
I like how the Offense went today and the D should be fixable. What killed us was way too much Stack and the 2nd Q when Kidd played for like 30 seconds.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
I'm not panicking either
But I’m not happy with what I just saw. The scoring droughts are disconcerting.
at least
kidd got me 12 assists for my fantasy team
That's it. Too bad, but both teams looked good over long stretches.
Dirk is the real deal again. Have a good night.
Sounds plausible.
Anyone giving odds on whether Yao/McGrady/both are on the bench with injuries by then?
by DitchThePlaybook on Oct 30, 2008 10:07 PM CDT up reply actions
Jason Terry is still terrible and Jerry Stackhouse has actually gotten worse.
But Dirk is still Dirk and Josh looked good from what I saw.
Why did Gerald Green not get any run? I was looking forward to seeing a little athleticism out there.
Oh well.
It’s not like Stern would ever let us win a title anyhow.
But, hey! He gave us the All-Star game!!! That’s almost as good! Yay!
The 40 Trumps All!!!
Tell me I'm not the only one sick to my stomach over seeing this image today:

I upchucked a little.
I’ll be there though, especially if they do it outdoors.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45-17 to Troy. 0-12 is only four games away.
Some thoughts
Dirk is back to being a scoring machine once again, but only ONE point in the entire 4th? He disappeared there, no excuses.
J-Kidd is also back to filling the stat line: 7 pts, 7 rebs, 12 dimes, and 4 steal (only 1 turnover).
No easy baskets when the 2nd unit is on. And Stack needs to be shipped, ASAP.
We have time to fix things. It’s just one game. I trust Coach Carlisle.
I’m done. Good night everyone.
Craig Sager shouldn't shock me anymore
but that Jack-o-lantern scarf. The horror…
