I have been waiting all day for this game

Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday

They gotta steal one tonight.

Lakers are freakishly good. The jumpers have to fall tonight for them to have a chance.

This might sound silly but,

I would like to be the arena voice for The Mavs once Billy Hayes retires. One day, Bruce, one day.

I'm stuck with the NBA TV pre-game crew

I don’t mind Ahmad and Gary Payton, but Chris Webber is there

The Pre-game Kobe worship is tiresome.

3 championships, an MVP, a gold medal, and no convictions.

What next, Kobe? What next?

I'm still at work

probably going to have to tivo the first half

It’ll be worth Tivo-ing.

Vlad Rad over Kidd

Too easy, with the height advantage

Damp sucks!

How could you miss when you’re that close…dunk!

by Marie on Nov 11, 2008 7:43 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Ha

Was Dirk chewing Damp out a bit there when Pau got the offensive board?

We're gonna have to speed the tempo up

They just have too much size on us

by b3tts32 on Nov 11, 2008 7:45 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I like the back pick for Green

that’s gonna lead to an alley oop pretty quick

by b3tts32 on Nov 11, 2008 7:48 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Green

playing smart.

Dirk

getting schooled by the DT.

Jet knocks another down.

Offensive rebounding

by LA so far causing trouble.

Gerald Green

I think I’m in love.

Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. Back to Suckville with a loss to FLA ATL but whatever, SUCK IT WESTERN KENTUCKY! 1-9 baby!

Woot

another set of FTs.

Green looks good.

But I think I’ll wait until he puts in a few more starts before I cast a bronze statue of him.

Like what i see so far, though.

What the hell was that, Stack?

Really bad dribbling, nearly a turnover, and a brick from three point land

Wow

LeBron’s almost to 40 again.

I hate the douche who picked him one spot above me at No.2, so I had to settle for Kobe.

by jonthefon on Nov 11, 2008 8:09 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I know your pain, brother.

I’m actually attempting FBB after a few years out. The auto-draft gave me every player I hate.

i got dirk at 6

so i like my team

by zkmavz on Nov 11, 2008 8:12 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

We actually ended the quarter well

We had a scoring run instead of a drought

by Marie on Nov 11, 2008 8:10 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Bad turnover by Kidd.

Otherwise, he now has 5-6-5. I smell a triple double.

by ptrck on Nov 11, 2008 8:10 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Please don't jinx him.

He had 9 assists with about six minutes left in Denver, then didn’t get anymore.

by jonthefon on Nov 11, 2008 8:12 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Ariza

Loved him when he was with the Magic and was sorry to see him traded. He reminds me of how Josh used to be.

did stack actually think

he was going to take the tech ft?

C'mon Dirk

Damn, they are swarming him

by ptrck on Nov 11, 2008 8:16 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

We need this damn game over

by the end of the third.

I still don’t forget that blown 25-point lead.

Charles Barkley is in the house

I can’t wait for him to trash us this Thursday on TNT

by ptrck on Nov 11, 2008 8:18 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

That game has changed

I read it on Star-Telegram last week, I think…the Bulls game is no longer on TNT and the start time might’ve changed, too

by Marie on Nov 11, 2008 8:19 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Doesn't matter

He’ll find a way to bad talk us anyway

by ptrck on Nov 11, 2008 8:20 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Lol

Barkley’s sort of a bandwagoner.

Remember how he wore the Dirk jersey during the Warriors series?

if laura green was still here

that interview would have been with joe prunty… be thankful

dirk can not

buy a foul call… doesnt get superstar calls.. f the nba

by zkmavz on Nov 11, 2008 8:22 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Probably because

he doesn’t seem to sell the contact like some other superstars. Or the verbal flop.

by jonthefon on Nov 11, 2008 8:24 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

You got that right

The Kobe Bryant Patented Verbal Flop almost always gets the job done

Kobe Bryant!

Hey, what’s this straight jacket doing on me?

by bruce182 on Nov 11, 2008 8:29 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

At some point, they're gonna have to get to Dirk at the post

Dirk’s guarding Gasol, yet Gasol’s doing nothing on the defensive end

by ptrck on Nov 11, 2008 8:30 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

We need stops

They’re chipping away at the lead because they keep scoring

I thought that was a mostly clean strip

refs are so bad

you call that crap but wont give dirk a freakin call

by zkmavz on Nov 11, 2008 8:31 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Holy crap

Bruce Bowen just scored.

by jonthefon on Nov 11, 2008 8:32 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

What the hell?!

That whistle was so late, we could’ve scored on a fastbreak. OK, maybe not.

Looked like a clean strip to me.

by ptrck on Nov 11, 2008 8:33 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Damp is so slow

That was a great pass by Kidd and he couldn’t do anything with it. Why can’t he catch and dunk?

by Marie on Nov 11, 2008 8:35 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Kobe takes

a shit.

Actually, I don’t know what happened.

by jonthefon on Nov 11, 2008 8:36 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

kobe could do that

and they would find a way to call a foul on us

by zkmavz on Nov 11, 2008 8:37 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

so thats a GD foul?

but still no foul call on any dirk shot? SUCH BS

by zkmavz on Nov 11, 2008 8:38 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

The refs

just piss me off.

But what can be done?

by jonthefon on Nov 11, 2008 8:38 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

We need to win those next four games

get some momentum going into H-Town.

awww poor lakers

they actually called a foul on you

by zkmavz on Nov 11, 2008 8:39 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I never understood why a trapped player with the ball

don’t just bounce it off one of the players trapping him

by ptrck on Nov 11, 2008 8:40 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

HOLY SHIT.

He didn’t touch him.

by jonthefon on Nov 11, 2008 8:42 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

That Kobe drive and the Wright foul

was very similar to a play I remember with Wade and Marquis…

by ptrck on Nov 11, 2008 8:44 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

can

we please not talk about this… it makes me sad

by zkmavz on Nov 11, 2008 8:46 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

this is BULLSHIT

just because derek whiny bitch fisher complains for 5 minutes doesnt mean you have to call that horseshit on the other end

How’s that airball?

freaking lumbering.

by jonthefon on Nov 11, 2008 9:02 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Another foul

called in Kobe’s favour.

Is it just me or Dirk doesn’t take enough shotclock-beating shots? It seems he’s always the guy who should aim to do that.

by jonthefon on Nov 11, 2008 9:05 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Verbal flop

didn’t look like much.

by jonthefon on Nov 11, 2008 9:07 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Isn't it frustrating

when the Mavs are running and scoring like this, the Lakers are not down at least by 10

so I can’t watch the game. Let me guess, though. We’re jacking up a bunch of shots that aren’t falling instead of taking it to the hole and drawing fouls.

I predict

0-4… this team sucks obviously. They build up a lead at home every game just to lose it. It’s so redundant. Sorry to be so negative but it’s really depressing to see this team fold like this. Go Mavs.

by Slick-ish24 on Nov 11, 2008 10:15 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I love Dirk and all that

but if you’re gonna try and pump up your teammates with challenging words, you better show up as well the next game. The rest of the starters and Stack did, while Dirk did the exact opposite. Too bad.

by ptrck on Nov 11, 2008 10:07 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I was thinking the same thing

Granted, he was the focus of the other team’s defense, but I felt he could have done a lot more in the fourth quarter. Did he even get to the line in the second half?

by Marie on Nov 11, 2008 10:08 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

i dont blame dirk for settling for jumpers

when he goeshard to the hole or tries to draw contact… they dont give him the call… makes sense hed rather take a shot with no one jumping on him since hes not gonna get to the line anyway

by zkmavz on Nov 11, 2008 10:09 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, Dirk had an off night, coupled with the Laker's precision strike approach on the opponents' best player

But boy, this must REALLY suck for him. Fouling out, turnovers, airballing and whatnot.

Blow it up...

This team isn’t any good….

If you didn’t have the score in the corner of the screen throughout most of the first three quarters, you’d have sworn the Mavericks were blowing the Lakers out… But no, this team can’t do that… The Lakers play awful basketball for three quarters and the Mavericks can’t put them away…

Missed the 2nd half

but looking at the box score….. Damp had a good game11pts 16rbs 3blks. Bass was invisible. But don’t worry, I know who the key is to the season turnaround. More Shawne Williams! (Reaching for straws here.)
