Great

Stuck with Jeff Van Gundy

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 9:34 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't, actually

I mean, he’s okay at times, but other times I can’t stand his comments

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 9:36 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Gah

with each game I’m regretting my decision to deal Bosh and R-Jeff for Deng and Al-Jeff in one roto league more and more.

Brilliant

Going to see if one works.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 9:39 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Damn

of the justin.tv streams:

-One is Spanish
-Two don’t work
-One is English but waaaay behind

I’ll have to use Spanish.

We need to

start well and keep going. A full 48 minutes is the only way you beat Lakers.

Van Gundy talking about how Dirk takes less threes

The thing is, I don’t think he’s been shooting well from downtown

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 9:41 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Lol

One stream is ESPN espanol. LOS MAVERICKS!

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 9:42 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

God dangit

Bynum gets an and-1 but Kidd shoves it down the Lakers throats with a three.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 9:44 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I have a bad feeling

home cooking might burn us.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 9:44 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I want to punch

the Radman right in the middle of his freaking goggles.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 9:51 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Down 10 already

It happened so quickly…we were leading at one point

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 9:51 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Nice Deavean

outhustled by the Radman.

Why did we sign you again?

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 9:52 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Holy crap

Odom and his verbal flops are way over the top

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 9:53 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Boom

Jet steals and dunks.

Seems like Dirk is having his way with those fakes.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 9:54 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I read that Stack didn't make the trip

If/when Stack leaves the team, I just hope it doesn’t end bitterly. I don’t have anything against the guy.

Random question: When are the Mavs going to wear the Green jerseys?

Not that I miss them, but it’s been a while. Kidd’s never been in one.

by ptrck on Nov 28, 2008 9:56 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I liked

the 03-04 silvery “trash-bag” ones.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 9:57 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I hated those!

And the green jerseys as well, so I’m glad they haven’t worn them.

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 9:58 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I really

want us to get over .500…

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 9:58 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

FUCK YOU KOBE

having a big game only against the Mavs.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 9:59 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Kidd

again draining the trey.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 9:59 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Damn it, Bass

He was out of bounds…otherwise that would have been awesome

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 10:00 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

JJB is in the game

We are soooooo gonna win this one

by ptrck on Nov 28, 2008 10:00 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Damn it

That basket counts…it was a great play by the Lakers, I have to say

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 10:02 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

JJB!

gets in the lane and ties it with a floater.

Then Gasol sinks a freaking buzzer-beating three.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:02 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I completely

missed that last part. JJB went in and scored, but I wasn’t sure whether the score was tied or we were down by 1.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:04 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Dirk needs to start

schooling Gasol like he did all those years when Pau was in Memphis.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:03 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

except

these threes are gonna stop falling eventually…whereas they are driving and getting points in the paint

by ETBURyan on Nov 28, 2008 10:04 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Spurs looking

dangerous again, with Manu back.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:06 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Odom yells so much now

He acts like he’s getting murdered or something

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 10:06 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Come on

That should have been a jump ball

I can’t believe that turnover though

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 10:07 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Bass

sinks the shot.

HOLY SHIT, WE LEAD!

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:08 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Sagana

stuff a weak Farmar layup. Bad shot decision.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:09 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Jet

heating up. I think.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:10 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Stop kicking, JET

that’s not gonna work anymore….and way to halt the momentum.

by ptrck on Nov 28, 2008 10:11 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

was it really a charge or

have the refs already decided that the Kobes are the champs?

by ETBURyan on Nov 28, 2008 10:14 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Okay basically

if Kobe or Wade or Bron took it, it’d obviously be a defensive foul.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:15 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Our bench

Is outscoring the Lakers’ bench so far, and they have a deep bench

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 10:12 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

You can't say

that our bench is that much worse than theirs. It’s just much more inconsistent.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:13 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well

after supersub Terry.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:13 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm glad

it’s Spanish now, considering listening to JVG isn’t exactly better.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:16 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Wooooow

a big teeeeeardrop by JJB>

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:17 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Go Mavs

Bass looks good today

by Norsktroll on Nov 28, 2008 10:18 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

6 offensive boards by Bynum

Lakers shooting 33%, and still only down by 3.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:19 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

JJB has been good so far

He’s like a Mini going at it with Monster Trucks out there

by ptrck on Nov 28, 2008 10:19 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Barea, wow

www.mavsmoneyball.com

by Wes Cox on Nov 28, 2008 10:21 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Great move by Barea

Might’ve gotten hit, too

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 10:21 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

JJB

spin move and banks it in.

Reminding me of NIck Van Exel.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:21 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Wow

www.mavsmoneyball.com

by Wes Cox on Nov 28, 2008 10:21 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Then

it should be Thanksgiving before every Mavs game.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:23 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Thats it

starting feeding that boy turkey and stuffing…or was it the pumpkin pie

by ETBURyan on Nov 28, 2008 10:24 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Freaking Fisher

seems like he never misses.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:26 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hmm

I liked the old Lakers stadium lighting better.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:27 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That looked pretty funny

Dirk, Kidd, Pau, and Kobe just hanging around at the basket, dribbling and shooting

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 10:29 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

made me laugh. Dirk sinks some shots, Pau wants the ball, Kidd gives it to home as if they’re going to play 2-on-2.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:30 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Then

during the inbounds play. Kobe’s right up in Kidd’s face, trashtalking I’m guessing.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:30 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

what the

are they giving it to the lakers?

by ETBURyan on Nov 28, 2008 10:29 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

ok

got it…shot clock

by ETBURyan on Nov 28, 2008 10:30 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

The Radman

shoots a three that misses awesomely.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:33 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Ooooooh....

That Jet three was sooooo close.

And Kidd faked the guy out of his shoes…he’s a 3pt threat now apparently.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:34 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i dont think we couldve asked for a better start

In reference to how good the Steelers have been in their history: "No one is even close to them."- Steal Home

by hinduplaya on Nov 28, 2008 10:35 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Halftime discussion

which bench player (other than terry) is going to be the most consistent in doing his job…for the sake of the game we will say that anyone starting at SG is a bench player since that has changed around so much

by ETBURyan on Nov 28, 2008 10:38 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

or I

will just sit and talk to myself

by ETBURyan on Nov 28, 2008 10:40 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Also

seems like everyone on our bench can come off and contribute on different days.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:41 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I would love for it to be

JJB, but I think Diop can be more consistent…not at scoring, but at rebounding and dirty d…but will he? I don’t know

by ETBURyan on Nov 28, 2008 10:43 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It seems

that some confidence was given to them after the close LAL game…but only against LA.

We seem to know we can compete with them

by ETBURyan on Nov 28, 2008 10:46 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Anyway

so far, what’s been the consensus on Green’s D?

Seems like he’s shown flashes of good D.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:48 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I mean

I remember in the last meeting against LA, he played a few good sets of D on Kobe where he didn’t bite on fakes, contested shots and such. Other times…

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:51 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

JJB

Starting the third quarter…interesting

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 10:54 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Damn it

Timeout because we can’t inbound.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 10:55 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not a bad play

The shot just didn’t go in

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 10:56 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Nash and Mike Finley for me

I haven’t been watching the Mavs that long to appreciate the older players

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 10:57 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Steve Nash

not even close.

I take it a little off

since he was a little too injury-prone for my liking, but I guess that was because he drove to the rim A LOT.

Wright

gets the dish from JJB and knocks down a trey./

Wow

seems like N’Awlins are struggling. They’re only 9-6, probably 9-7 after tonight.

Fine

9-6 after tonight.

I gotta do more research.

Dirk

Getting to the line

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 11:10 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Woah

did I see 39 fast break points?

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 11:13 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Shit!

This is reminiscent of the game at Dallas!

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 11:15 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Weird, but...

Didn’t it seem like we lost the lead when JJB sat down?

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 11:16 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not really

Dirk stepped up, but they can’t miss.

Come on guys

we just need another spark.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 11:20 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Or the Jet

clutch engine to turn on.

Was Rudy seriously hurt?

I saw he did something to his ankle

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 11:22 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Nope

Hit the free throws, and walked it off in the quarter break

by Norsktroll on Nov 28, 2008 11:23 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Whew

I saw him ice the FTs, but I had to change the channel due to the game

Terry misses the tech

Which they didn’t even show, since ESPN just had to reply the Bynum dunk four times

by Marie on Nov 28, 2008 11:25 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And that

is why you don’t rely on the jumpers.

by jonthefon on Nov 28, 2008 11:27 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

also not a “forced” turnover
