Alrighty...

so who is gonna show up tonight?

Josh? Kidd? Stack? Bass and Terry (again)?

I hope we approach this game the same we did last game. Attacking early and often. Shallow rotation from the bench.

This game will be dictated by which group of Mavs come out of halftime to start the 3rd… no matter what the score is. IF we play big in the 3rd again like we really haven’t been, except on Friday, I say we pull it out.

although if the mavs don’t look so hot, I might back off to change up the mojo

Love it

I would give anything to see Dirk go off tonight (ala 50 point game). However, I’ll take a strong performance from Dirk, Howard, Terry and Kidd. Asking a lot (I know), but give me that and we’re at 2-2 in this series.

Dilemma

If I had known that this game three was going to be tonight two months ago I wouldn’t have bought seats to the Kanye show (Denver). Can’t believe Im not going to be able to watch this game…

by WoodrowWilson on Apr 27, 2008 8:04 PM CDT   0 recs

Wow

I’ve read reviews of the Kanye tour and apparently it’s one of the best around, like it took the concert experience to a whole other level. Hope you have fun.

I hope the tnt game

cuts off early… I dont wanna miss a play tonight!

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 8:35 PM CDT   0 recs

Damn

You guys are here early.

by Marie on Apr 27, 2008 8:38 PM CDT   0 recs

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 8:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Mavs

Don’t forget. This N.O. team was laughing at you in game 2. Screaming “you can’t guard me!” Don’t forget that…kill them

by Avery210 on Apr 27, 2008 8:45 PM CDT   0 recs

I would like nothing more

than a solid butt-whooping tonight

by MeanMr.Mustard on Apr 27, 2008 8:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Kidd went baby faced

shaving everything on us… may that makes him faster!

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 8:47 PM CDT   0 recs

remember last game

when damp wasnt even ready for the opening tip?

I thought that was going to be the start of a long game for us…

And he got it now!

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 8:48 PM CDT   0 recs

Crap

Paul and West off to a good start so far

by Marie on Apr 27, 2008 8:49 PM CDT   0 recs

Yeah

What was up with that J when Terry passed it to him for that fastbreak…I was expecting him to go baseline for a dunk or layup

by Marie on Apr 27, 2008 8:50 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Damp

looking MUCH better already… better not jinx it though

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 8:49 PM CDT   0 recs

Mo-Pete playing full court on Kidd to start?

I don’t see that being particularly effective. Didn’t take long to get a switch and post up Paul to set up that Terry foul

by MeanMr.Mustard on Apr 27, 2008 8:50 PM CDT   0 recs

Freaking Josh!

Dribbling and dribbling like his life depends on it and Dirk was open, wanting the ball!

by Marie on Apr 27, 2008 8:51 PM CDT   0 recs

at least we got a bail out call on that...

damp is making up for josh howards sucking right now…

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 8:52 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

T on West

For the unnecessary push…too bad Dirk bricked the free throw

Steve Javey

He’s one of the good refs right? Or am I blind?

by Avery210 on Apr 27, 2008 8:52 PM CDT   0 recs

He's OK

Gives a LOT of techs though, so I hated him during the Don Nelson whine era.

by MeanMr.Mustard on Apr 27, 2008 8:53 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

finals game 6 I believe...

helped D whistle get his 22 FT Average in that series

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 8:54 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

dang...

come on D!

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 8:55 PM CDT   0 recs

just when I go and praise damp

he misses that dunk… but then he made up for it with that block

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 8:55 PM CDT   0 recs

Yeah

weird sequence.

I think damp is doing alright on him

he is still an all star.

2-5 shooting, 2 boards

How did you that?

SORRY GUYS!!

I am determined to get to 150 one way or another!! LOL!!

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 9:02 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

We did pretty well with the comments in game 2, I think

And surprisingly, I think we were less than a hundred in game 3

by Marie on Apr 27, 2008 9:03 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

It is the first one I have seen

in the new format.

Outstanding work. I am impressed.

count on me to somehow

“schrute it” here on the new format

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 9:04 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I wonder if Stack

Will get some burn tonight. I understand he’s not quite healthy yet.

by Marie on Apr 27, 2008 9:01 PM CDT   0 recs

please no..

not yet… I still think he can play a big game for us, but he IS hurt and he is not ready yet to play from what I understand… Count on avery though to give him a burn tonight…

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 9:03 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

did terry just defend peja?

whoa… that was pretty good

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 9:03 PM CDT   0 recs

agreed...

gonna be interesting how we retain him… the way his contract is set up, we arent gonna be able to do much to keep him after next year… and that SUCKS

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 9:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

David West is a hothead

Gotta keep scrapping at him. He’ll hate it and mouth off sooner or later.

by Avery210 on Apr 27, 2008 9:05 PM CDT   0 recs

thats where we need damp to come in and tick him off

bass and him are too buddy-buddy i think

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 9:07 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

please no...

I dont care if they get a t… I dont want any part of GS to be apart of the hornets right now

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 9:07 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Come On, Josh

JET looks like he’s going to have a big game for us. Even if Josh can’t contribute offensively at least help on the defensive boards!

by dirk41 on Apr 27, 2008 9:07 PM CDT   0 recs

JOSH

has to come alive…

Luckily the JET is streakin HOT right now… on BOTH ends!!!

For 3 AGAIN!!

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 9:08 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Peja

Oh-oh…hope he doesn’t heat up from 3

by dirk41 on Apr 27, 2008 9:08 PM CDT   0 recs

Terry

Coming up huge so far!

by Marie on Apr 27, 2008 9:08 PM CDT   0 recs

How did Kidd

miss the rim completely on that?!

www.mavsmoneyball.com

by Wes Cox on Apr 27, 2008 9:10 PM CDT   0 recs

his lay up %

has to be amoung the WORST in the NBA…

As does his percentage of him taking a 3, but it counting as a 2 bc his toe is on the line.

by Toddy on Apr 27, 2008 9:12 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Hah

you’re right

by dirk41 on Apr 27, 2008 9:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Triple T for Three Terry !!!

Kidd

might’ve just been switched onto him by accident, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Kidd muscle up Pargo when he’s in. Anything to throw off the little guy’s rhythm early.

by MeanMr.Mustard on Apr 27, 2008 9:13 PM CDT   0 recs

What's great about 1st quarter?

Dirk hasn’t even gone off yet. Dare I predict a big 2nd quarter?

by Avery210 on Apr 27, 2008 9:14 PM CDT   0 recs

Really Nice Quarter

The Hornets have
