great
we are hitting our shots in the first quarter…game over…we lose
Green
has three rebounds…I knew there was a reason I picked him up for my fantasy roster
I've never played fantasy ball
I always think of trying it out, but I don’t think I’m knowledgeable enough
Or you
root for teams you don’t like just so your players will get stats
i found a working one... but its like 950k...
pretty good quality… but my internet connection seems to be too slow for it… (i’m all the way in Thailand!)
try myp2p.eu
u need to download some programs to run the feeds…
nice...
well… i’m actually Thai…
probably not too many foreign mavs fan on this site….
unlike u guys… i hardly get to watch live games… have to watch feeds or just the box score updates…
i only get like 1-2 espn matches a week… nuggets and celts right now
what is it
that terry and stackhouse are doing better than green? missing shots?
Broke his promise
Didn’t he give an interview today that everything under the basket should be a dunk?
Yeah, I think so
LP broadband is cheaper than the LP on TV, though the TV one comes with LP broadband. Expensive, though!
Trying to facilitate and getting to the rim instead of jacking up contested fadeaways
is good enough when it comes to Stack
Kidd on the bench again
The game really changes when he’s not there…is Carlisle still experimenting on when to put certain guys in?
a good stream
any1 know where i can watch a good strem of this game im watching in this site and i think its turkish, damn slow!
So everyone...
when did you become a mavs fan?
the spring of 2005
i never liked sports before but my friends from HS watched that year and I played with them after graduating from college. I became a fan of the mavs and of playing basketball
for 5 years now since the 2002-2003 season
funny thing was I hated the Mavs before that I thought they were too good like the spurs and they were a team of wimpy white boys, then i played em on NBA LIVE 2003 just for the heck of it then they grew on me. I’ve been watching em eversince
I became a fan...
about 4 minutes into the second quarter.
:)
/really, 1994. Shortly after I moved here. I suppose that’s why I’m not alarmed at 2-6.

must be about 6-7 yrs ago
latter seasons of the big 3 (nash, finley, dirk)
man… i hate the kings with a passion back then
lol...
used to love the games against them though… they were sort of in the same mold as us… with bibby and peja jackin’ up 3s all the time….
it was usually a shootout…
cuban vs. maloofs
their fans vs. ours…
good rivalry… even though neither team had a real shot at winning the championship
+1 on Kings hatred.
Just seeing Hedo’s face makes me wanna punch my TV.
‘Course it’s nowhere near the same team now, but still….

I could be remembering this wrong...it might be around 2001-2002
But they were playing the T-wolves in the early playoff rounds and that’s when I started liking Dallas. Totally random, I know. It was during the Nash/Dirk/Finley days.
why don't
we have a mavs moneyball fantasy b-ball league?
With this group...
Gerald Green would go first.

Did you just get home from work?
You haven’t missed much with this game…it’s been a bit boring, actually
Yeah,
and I forgot to set the Tivo. I got home with 5 minutes left in the 2nd.

Sucs for them
I would be angry if it were the mavs
They asked for it with paying Arenas that much
Norsktroll
That was a close game vs. the Hornets…I only saw a little bit of it. How did the Blazers lose? Oden has a double double, I think.
I'm as happy as ever about a loss
Greg looked great on both ends, and he can hit free throws. Cowherd and Simmons for the loss.
Didn't get many shots. Not his best game
He was fouled hard on an alley-oop attempt that should have been a flagrant 1. Hit a nice three, but also bricked a few shots.
Roy wasn’t as clutch as usual and took a bad shot with 8 sec. to go and Posey in his face – who was the man of the final minutes. But hey, the Hornets are a dominant team in the West and the Blazers are still young and learning.
That was last night.
I’m talking about now.
I think they look better tonight. I’m going to go ahead and call the win: 104-86.

i agree with
a mavs win, but I am afraid to say it…(knocking on wood)
It's true, tough
But hey, I really like the guy! I was thisclose to getting a Bass t-shirt last time I went to the Mavs shop
we are letting them
get into the bonus way to early if we keep fouling like this
I am guessing
we have the starting line up in after this timeout…with the exception of terry staying in instead of Green
its dirk and terry
i think they are the main problem two possessions they just hog the ball with a damn jumpshot!
how the f*ck are you gonna take a jumpshot
with plenty of time remaining in the shotclock now thats just stupid! get your head in the game terry!
if orlando gets back into this
it’ll be terry or dirk’s fault im telling you watch it closely they’re gonna take a bad shot again
that and
they are winning the rebound game in the second half
J-ho
has more points in the second half than the first
another point carlisle has to correct
We don’t commit on defense in the inside its always when some1 drives we commit too late thats why we always get called for the foul. 28 FT’s for Orl
That's JET's shot.
If he’s open, let him take it.

Looks like they were hacking at that left wrist.
And he finishes anyway.
by DitchThePlaybook on Nov 14, 2008 9:39 PM CST up reply actions
If Nelson is gonna cover him...
Let J5 go crazy!
by DitchThePlaybook on Nov 14, 2008 9:41 PM CST up reply actions
I wish they'd replace that damn scoreboard
Or perhaps the Mavs have a partnership with those Dallas eye doctors

i told you last shot by Nowitzki a difficult jumper
Im starting to believe that he should be a Robin more than a Batman for this team.
what did i tell you guys
JET is only as good when he makes em shots but he’ll take it like 100 times he doesnt care
my favorite
dallas misses 7 in a row in the fourth
Pietrus
This guy has been useless the whole season and came to life tonight, just for the Mavs…must be the former Warrior in him…ugh!
Jerry stackhouse off the bench
he is really cluch????
We don't need a three, obviously
Maybe the Magic will foolishly foul…I think we need to take it hard to the rack
How many times
do I have to say that Josh Howard should never inbound the ball.
www.mavsmoneyball.com
we dont have confidence
today is a dark day in Mavs history. No one is safe now in Mark’s head i bet you
i agree...not after what he said
some heads are gonna roll
THE worst loss of the season so far
and it looks like we’re in store for many, many more candidates for that title in the future
Stunned
This reminds me of a 90s era team. At least back then we had a lot of young players building towards a bright future. The near future looks dismal.
Damp
I rag on him a lot, but I thought he did a good job on Howard tonight, clogging up the lane and everything, even though Damp didn’t score a lot. Did he foul out or something, is that why he wasn’t in the game during the waning minutes?
He was really good against the Bulls. 18 and 16 I think
Though they played without a real C. Diop looks not good at all compared to him.
See, that's the thing that I don't understand
This was to be a new slate for them, a fresh start…it’s like they started the season discouraged or something.
Well,
see you guys next time…I hope
My wife is threatening to not let me watch the games cause it is depressing her…she blames me getting the flu on the mavericks
I thought several guys did their parts
Dirk showed up tonight, I thought; Josh did well, so did Terry…again, we just went cold at the wrong times and settled for the J too much
And i guess the DMN
Will not ask Carlisle again why the Mavs keep taking badshots, can’t close and loose close leads in the 4th. They will assure us that they will correct it then we might loose to the Knicks. I wanna be optimistic but its time to make moves DAMMIT!!!!!
they need us to support them though
lets not be fairweather
No worries, I'm not going to bail
But it’s getting harder to look on the bright side, even though it’s early in the season
Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory
once again
Hey a good topic!
If you were the post game interviewer, what would you ask RC and the rest of the players?
I'd ask for some kind of explanation as to why the team collapses down the stretch
Why they can’t hold on to a lead…why they resort to jump shots so much…why they seem so demoralized after sounding so optimistic about the acquisition of a new coach and the adoption of a new system and offense…why they don’t play they way they used to when the team is basically made up of the same players…and how does it feel taking on the burden of dealing with the stigma and mental/emotional scarring from two playoff collapses.
Next opponent...the Knicks used to be a guaranteed win
But now, the Mavs are 2-7 and NY is 6-3! Charlotte should be a win, but who knows?
Interesting stat…first Orlando win in Dallas since 1997, and first win at the AAC.
I hope we're not going to be that team
That other teams break losing streaks on, or the team that a scrub lights up for a career high
Is it weird that I KNEW you would use the Howard/Kidd image for this game's banner as soon as I saw it on the photo wire?
I almost cropped it and sent it to you myself.
hey guys chill a bit
seriously, you have a great team. yeah, the results have not been good early, but still, many many would love to be in your place (thunder? poor guys). howard dirk jet and kidd are going to turn it around sooner or later, but my guess is sooner. no need to panic 9 games into a season.
Once upon a time the Suns got out on the break... and along came Steve sucKerr
It's not the fact that they're losing, really
It’s the way we are losing that is causing us to feel this way and the fact that right now, at least, it seems un-fixable.
