Big game tonight

I’m bringing out the wine

Or the whine

Devin vs. Jason (sounds like a cheesy horror flick)

I didn't "see" you at the Blazers thread last night

Though I was only there for the first half…Roy totally went off!

I won't mind if Devin schools Kidd

As long as we win

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 6:34 PM CST reply actions  

I wouldn't exactly say "school"

because Kidd is (way) older. But I get what you mean.

Oh and we win this game, of course.

I'm glad Kidd didn't get booed

He did a lot for this team

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

That Carter turnover wasn't even forced

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

I guess he's back to normal

Nice feed by Dirk

Good job by Josh getting to the basket….and 1

What the hell

The George

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 6:48 PM CST reply actions  

Supposedly he's good in their league

Much like Andrea Bargnani

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Tough miss by Kidd

So close

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

The George misses an alley-oop!

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Devin is shooting lights out

Come on, Josh

You’re Mr. First Quarter

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Devin with the And 1 mixtape moves

Good, Terry is in

Josh is out

JJB and Bass in

Dirk and Kidd out

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Oops

I thought Dirk was sitting

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 6:58 PM CST up reply actions  

I'm not too worried

Dirk has been starting out slow lately, and then heating up in the third and fourth (mostly the third)

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 7:04 PM CST up reply actions  

They're making Carter look as if he discovered the fountain of youth

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 7:05 PM CST reply actions  

Hopefully they will cool off

Though if we’d just play better D, that’ll help too

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Yeah, she's a model, right?

Another offensive board for the Nets

Hustle, damn it

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 7:08 PM CST reply actions  

im glad

howard got the offensive rebound and shot a fadeaway

by zkmavz on Dec 19, 2008 7:08 PM CST reply actions  

Switched to Bulls-Celtics for a moment

If they had not lucked into Rose they would suck so hard it wouldn’t be even funny

by Norsktroll on Dec 19, 2008 7:09 PM CST reply actions  

It is

They showed some shots outside in the Nets broadcast

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Enough jumpshots, please

Just stick to throwing your remotes :)

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Man, the Nets are getting to the basket at will

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Damn it, stop with the jumpshots!

Get to the $ line, attack the rim

How did that dollar sign get there

Brook Lopez, seriously?

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 7:22 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah

And he is serious, and usually has a good basketball knowledge with many facts. But I’m really confused about that one.

by Norsktroll on Dec 19, 2008 7:23 PM CST up reply actions  

I like Robin better than Brook

Neither are Duncan-like to me, however

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Oh my God

Dirk missed a dunk

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 7:31 PM CST reply actions  

Yeah, not the way to close it out

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

10-0 run

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 7:32 PM CST reply actions  

So...off the timeout the play is for The George to brick a shot?

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 7:33 PM CST reply actions  

That lane was so open

When Yi dunked…ugh!

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 7:35 PM CST reply actions  

Yeah, Kidd is playing well

The rest of the team could be better

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 7:40 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah, he should be salivating at that matchup

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Dirk missing free throws

Kidd for three

Not stepping on the line so far!

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Good!

Took long enough

I know, right

He acts like he’s getting murdered out there

I have to say Odom sounds worse

He really drags it out

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Terry feeling it

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 8:05 PM CST reply actions  

Damn it, we had it down to 7

And Terry had no idea what to do with that ball…he was just dribbling himself into the corner

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 8:08 PM CST reply actions  

I hate this

Trading baskets is worse enough. Now they neither defend nor score!

by ptrck on Dec 19, 2008 8:08 PM CST reply actions  

The George for three

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 8:10 PM CST reply actions  

Shit

We could have cut it to nine but Terry shoots an airball…we didn’t even need the three!

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 19, 2008 8:15 PM CST reply actions  

I think it could have been just a regular two pointer

Like a mid-range shot…it would have been down to single digits…didn’t really need the home run right there

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Devin with the verbal

And Dirk with the f-bomb

Josh

Did he play at all in the third? I missed some of it.

Somewhere, Avery is gloating

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

I'm going to stop watching now

I'm almost at this point ...

I’m just in hope we can make a comeback, but today, the nets would beat the 95-96 bulls.

by hugommorais on Dec 19, 2008 8:38 PM CST up reply actions  

That's crazy ...

The nets are shooting 49% from the floor, and 60% from the 3pt … NO WAY!

by hugommorais on Dec 19, 2008 8:40 PM CST up reply actions  

Shawne ...

Someone explain me why this guy shoots 3 pointers? … The mavs should fine him everytime he shoots one.

Green ...

At least that’s a bright spot … At least green is playing.

I'm tired of making

excuses for this team. We’re just not that good. I just need to accept that.

by rassoodocks on Dec 19, 2008 8:46 PM CST reply actions  

Yeah

But, this night the Nets were out of their minds … The mavs are not that good, but we are good enough to beat the nets if they were playing their normal game.
