What a shitty turnout

by the houston crowd. you’re teame is supposed to be a contender and you cant fill the lower bowl?

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 7:08 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Damp lays it in

only guy not to score from starters is Dirk.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:09 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

More interested

in cricket as of now.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:10 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Singleton vs Artest

scares me…. still 2 good jumpers.

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 7:11 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Man

these starts always make me uncomfortable.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:11 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Hurt his ankle vs CHA

Nothing serious, but out tonight.

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 7:15 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I'm sure

it was all about a fast food order. For every state I can give you a story about an unstable kid in a bad situation that has done something terrible.

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 7:17 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Well

there goes our early lead.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:18 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Had to know..

that it was going to be that easy all game w/o Josh, even if they are w/o Yao.

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 7:20 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

At least

Yao won’t be sinking fadeaways from 20-feet over Diop.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:22 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed..

Houston losing Yao hurts them more than Dallas losing Josh… They don’t have any size in reserve.

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 7:26 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Houston being Houston...

Anybody else surprised that Yao, McGrady and Artest all get hurt in the same game. It’s like they met after the game and said “crap, this was the game I was planning to get hurt..”

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 7:21 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I'm here

Tie game now

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 7:22 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

No D again

Terry better heat the microwave in Josh’s absence.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:25 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Gotta play better D

to account for times when the jumper isn’t falling.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:30 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Wow

and I thought Mike Bibby was done.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:32 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Just curious

When is Dirk going to pick up the verbal flop? He’s already working on the flop.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:35 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Gana on the floor

Unfortunately…hopefully he’ll take advantage of Yao’s absence

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 7:37 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Why are MLB Pitchers like NBA Centers?

They’re all overpaid and none of them produce when they get to Dallas!

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 7:43 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Can't blame them

Nobody wants to pitch in Arlington, especially if you spend time in a pitcher-friendly park.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:45 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

So what's the Mavs excuse?

When you enter the arena you become offensively inept?

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 7:46 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

It's just

Diop who is offensively-challenged.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:47 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Checklist of topics discussed in non-local broadcasts:

1. The Finals collapse
2. The Warriors collapse
3. Kidd trade
4. Avery firing

Van Gundy has already covered 1 and 2…in the same breath, practically. But no fail, these are the topics that are always brought up.

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 7:48 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I haven't seen those

I haven’t gone to Deadspin in forever…since Will left, I think

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 7:49 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Did they bring up one of the "Golden Boys" yet?

“Nowitzki for 3…hits! Dirk Nowitzki, former MVP, one of the greatest PFs of all time. Speaking of former MVPs and great PFs, how about Kevin Garnett?”

by ptrck on Nov 19, 2008 7:50 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Not yet, haha

Golden Boys…so that’d be Garnett, Wade, James, Bryant, Paul…who else? Pierce?

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 7:52 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Wow

DOnte Greene is doing something!

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:54 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Doing his

beast imitation here.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:57 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Botched alley-oop

Thanks, McGrady…he doesn’t quite have the hops anymore, especially with that bum knee

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 7:58 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

With that bum knee

…and bum shoulder, and bum elbow, and bum ankle, and bum finger, and bum eye, etc..

by ptrck on Nov 19, 2008 7:59 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Did they grant that Chuck Hayes timeout?

You can’t call timeout in mid-air, I believe.

by ptrck on Nov 19, 2008 7:59 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I thought that was a TV timeout

Dallas ball…I could be wrong

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 7:59 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Think T-Mac might

turn into Chris Webber?

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 7:59 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Where he comes and plays

at the age of 35, looks horribly slow like Penny Hardaway did…etc, etc.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 8:00 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Fin

turning back the clock.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 8:01 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Looks like Mac can still jump

But then again, the ball was still low

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 8:02 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

That was a stupid shot from Williams

The clock reset, no need to shoot that right away

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 8:03 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

We're shooting

too well for this to last.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 8:03 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Hold out

run down the damn clock. No buckets for Houston please.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 8:05 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Holy shit

does Zydrunas Ilgauskas actually shoot threes.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 8:05 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

AND

Alston’s a punk.

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 8:06 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

There goes Alston again

little troublemaking punk

by ptrck on Nov 19, 2008 8:06 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

What

a pointlesly long last 25 seconds or so. Off to lunch.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 8:08 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

oh please finish. please!!!!

Avery is in the studio

I wonder if he’ll talk about the team…it could be awkward. But I think they’ll have Jalen Rose talk about the Mavs and Avery will have the Rockets.

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 8:14 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

They had him talking..

about Cuban earlier, he was really neutral and when Scott said well he fired you, he said “he also hired me”.

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 8:15 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Not a good shot by Dirk

Scola was defending him well

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 8:32 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

From what

you guys have said, seems lucky we haven’t had our lead drop.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 8:33 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Verbal flop by T-Mac

Every damn move, a struggle that is made know vocally

by ptrck on Nov 19, 2008 8:34 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Ugh

Damp already had that board and he lost it

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 8:36 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Singleton plays nice

With the addition of Williams, George is completely expendable now. Man that was a bad signing. Hope they can trade him in some package.

by Norsktroll on Nov 19, 2008 8:40 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

The question is

who would want him?

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 8:40 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

That's the problem

He might have a little bit left, but he can’t showcase it.

by Norsktroll on Nov 19, 2008 8:44 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe Carlisle thought/thinks he can still be useful

and perhaps George & his agent learned that nobody else wanted him during the off-season

by ptrck on Nov 19, 2008 8:46 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Thats what he said!!!

haha, I was wondering

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 8:53 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

i.e.

that epic youtube clip of him doing the play-by-play.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 8:54 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I missed it when he said that!

Oh well…I have that video of him doing commentary last year against the Clippers when he got hurt and he said “shortbus” after Maggette’s shot.

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 8:55 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I might be retarded

but why are we playing so small tonight, are we worried about Rocket fast breaks? seriously?

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 8:58 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I'll stick with my Singleton-Williams acclimation theory

Gotta be the reason why Damp’s giving way despite him having a pretty good season so far.

by ptrck on Nov 19, 2008 9:01 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

This could be

the worst NBA game I have watched all season…its brick after brick after brick

by smt83 on Nov 19, 2008 9:09 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

jumpshots make my eyes leak.

by buckets on Nov 19, 2008 9:10 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Yes!

Terry to the hole, and 1

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 9:15 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Wonder if Carlisle

will use his “time-consuming” offensive strategy involving Dirk and Kidd.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 9:15 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

HAHAHAHA

I was away from the thread for a minute and when they were talking about that on ESPN I was thinking the exact same thing…thats hilarious

by smt83 on Nov 19, 2008 9:23 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

He's been bricking shots

but he makes it up for it with some really good D

by ptrck on Nov 19, 2008 9:22 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

That was a bad shot by Dirk

Again, Scola defending well

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 9:23 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

HUGE 3

i cringed when he got the ball

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 9:27 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Fuck

this is ridiculous.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 9:29 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Phew

big shot again by Jet.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 9:29 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

The hero of the game..

.. and Shawne Williams…. syke.

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 9:31 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

so far.

We gotta close it out first.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 9:32 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Would've saved us

talk of Dirk missing those free throws against Phoenix.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 9:33 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Wow

New Orleans really died after halftime.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 9:34 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Dont know why I cared about the Thunder

Geography isn’t relevant in the NBA

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 9:34 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Huge win

Time to vent:

FUCK YOU, ALL YOU HOUSTON FANS WHO THOUGH YOU WERE CLEARLY SUPERIOR TO US! WE CAME AND BEAT YOU ON YOUR SHITTY HOMECOURT WITH THOUSANDS OF EMPTY SEATS!

Uh…I apologise, that was kinda classless.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 9:37 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Though

over at TDS, they were calling the Mavs’ soft, which is kinda true but you can’t really talk when two of your main guys struggle to play 50 a season.

by jonthefon on Nov 19, 2008 9:39 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I know the Mav's hold the record

so I’m biased, but look at this season, we’ve lost every game at home and still sellout, houston is the division leader and can’t fill the lower level, that’s just sad…

by bbob on Nov 19, 2008 9:41 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Nice win

Good job, Mavs! I’m out of here.

by ptrck on Nov 19, 2008 9:41 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Ok, I'm just now starting the game

should I talk to myself and pretend you are all still here?

That'd be so funny

Did you look at the result first or avoid it at all costs?

by Marie on Nov 19, 2008 10:42 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I looked

I actually watched a little of the 4th quarter already.
