well

he isn’t going to get 17 rebounds against D. Howard

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 7:45 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

great

we are hitting our shots in the first quarter…game over…we lose

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 7:45 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Green

has three rebounds…I knew there was a reason I picked him up for my fantasy roster

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 7:47 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I've never played fantasy ball

I always think of trying it out, but I don’t think I’m knowledgeable enough

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 7:48 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

its addictive as hell

but u tend to get bogged down in stats…

by kkengvib on Nov 14, 2008 7:49 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Or you

root for teams you don’t like just so your players will get stats

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 7:51 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I hate doing that

Maybe it’s a good thing I’m not playing it

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 7:52 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

just pick players you like…I try to avoid picking spurs or heat…or kings…or…well you get the idea

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 7:53 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

play it

It will make you knowledgable…even more so than EA sports basketball games

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 7:52 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Don't play it

I hurt my wrist once playing fantasy basketball

Courtney Lee on the floor

This guy is promising, I’m excited about him

Damp is a dumbass

We had so many chances on that possession and he turns it over

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 7:55 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Everyone’s throwing bricks

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!)

aren’t you at the game?

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 8:15 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

The game's in Dallas

I am most likely going to be at the game when they come here on Feb. 2

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?

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 8:04 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

We are taking too many jumpshots

But we didn’t blow a big lead or anything, so that’s good news

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 8:11 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

what is the

obsession with stackhouse?

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 8:10 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

no really

does he really merit 10 minutes a game…let alone in the first half? Why is green not in there?

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 8:18 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I'm watching Devin and the Nets during the breaks

It’s actually a good game against the Hawks

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 8:15 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I wish I bought LP online

There was a discount, right? I’m broke.

by ptrck on Nov 14, 2008 8:17 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I think so

LP broadband is cheaper than the LP on TV, though the TV one comes with LP broadband. Expensive, though!

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?

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?

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 8:28 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Let this be our halftime topic

When I moved here to Dallas in 2004

by ptrck on Nov 14, 2008 8:29 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 8:31 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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

by slickd on Nov 14, 2008 8:33 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by DitchThePlaybook on Nov 14, 2008 8:33 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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

by kkengvib on Nov 14, 2008 8:36 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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

by kkengvib on Nov 14, 2008 8:40 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

+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….

by DitchThePlaybook on Nov 14, 2008 8:41 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 8:41 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

damn... +17

for jason kidd…. game high by far…
tells u how important he is to the mavs

by kkengvib on Nov 14, 2008 8:30 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

why don't

we have a mavs moneyball fantasy b-ball league?

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 8:39 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

it'd be interesting

to see how quickly dirk gets drafted… :)

by kkengvib on Nov 14, 2008 8:41 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

With this group...

Gerald Green would go first.

by DitchThePlaybook on Nov 14, 2008 8:42 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

lol

not with carlisle not playing him

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 8:43 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I would go with

paul before dirk…and James (even though I don’t like him)

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 8:42 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Crap

four for dirk

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

I still can't believe Green

didn’t win the dunk contest last year.

is 8 points enough?

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.

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 9:24 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Norsktroll on Nov 14, 2008 9:26 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

How was Rudy?

I saw he missed an alley oop but made the free throws since he got fouled

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 9:27 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Norsktroll on Nov 14, 2008 9:31 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by DitchThePlaybook on Nov 14, 2008 9:25 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, they look much better tonight

still scared though,

i find

that if I am negative now we might win…if I am positive, it is a definite loss

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 9:26 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

i agree with

a mavs win, but I am afraid to say it…(knocking on wood)

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 9:26 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Carlisle

Doing a much better job of knowing when to put Kidd in and when to take him out

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

Dirk is back to taking awkward shots

He was hitting them earlier when his feet were planted

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 9:29 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I am guessing

we have the starting line up in after this timeout…with the exception of terry staying in instead of Green

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 9:30 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

its dirk and terry

i think they are the main problem two possessions they just hog the ball with a damn jumpshot!

by slickd on Nov 14, 2008 9:30 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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!

by slickd on Nov 14, 2008 9:31 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

oh jeez

they called it on dirk on the radio

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 9:33 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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

by slickd on Nov 14, 2008 9:34 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

that and

they are winning the rebound game in the second half

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 9:34 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

J-ho

has more points in the second half than the first

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 9:36 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Maybe it's Diop

’s fault. Theres more warts on this team than Dirk and Terry popping jumpers

by Colorblind on Nov 14, 2008 9:36 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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

by slickd on Nov 14, 2008 9:36 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Yes!

Good job, Josh!

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 9:38 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I wish they'd replace that damn scoreboard

Or perhaps the Mavs have a partnership with those Dallas eye doctors

by ptrck on Nov 14, 2008 9:44 PM CST reply actions   1 recs

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.

by slickd on Nov 14, 2008 9:46 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

surprise

Terry would rather shoot jump shots

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 9:48 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

This is unbelievable

What is with the 4th quarter???

bounce it off the opponent!

by ptrck on Nov 14, 2008 9:56 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I think Terry was trying to bounce that off of a Magic player but it didn’t hit anyone

No

terry on the baseline

by ETBURyan on Nov 14, 2008 9:57 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

We don't need a three, obviously

Maybe the Magic will foolishly foul…I think we need to take it hard to the rack

They can’t lose another game in the 4th quarter (choke) again…can they?

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

by ptrck on Nov 14, 2008 10:05 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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.

by dirk41 on Nov 14, 2008 10:06 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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?

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 10:06 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Man, I don't know about you

But I could just feel the frustration and sadness within the Mavs

by ptrck on Nov 14, 2008 10:08 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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

hmmmmmm

well, in any case they better get it together before I get back to the states in March…cause I am gonna go to some games. They may not be scared of me, but my wife will chew them out good.

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

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 10:09 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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!!!!!

What's going on in the post-game in Dallas?

Any interesting quotes from the coach yet?

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 10:17 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Hey a good topic!

If you were the post game interviewer, what would you ask RC and the rest of the players?

by slickd on Nov 14, 2008 10:35 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by dirk41 on Nov 14, 2008 10:30 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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

by Marie on Nov 14, 2008 10:35 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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

by Murcy on Nov 15, 2008 8:55 AM CST reply actions   0 recs

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.
