No expectations from me tonight
Obviously I’ll be happy with a win, but I’d rather not get my hopes up in the event that the result is not in our favor. If it’s a loss and the guys played with heart and effort, then I can live with that. No sleepwalking out there, please.
Hopefully this will open up some passing lanes and allow him to create.
or “make people better” as the saying goes

memo
was not received by the Mavs that their jump shots dont work. Unbelievable.
Wont be here much tonight guys. I got a ton of work I am gonna be working on during the game.
Good luck… we are gonna need it
Not Looking Good
Has there been one game this season where all of our best players were at the top of their game? Josh is playing much better tonight but Dirk’s struggling.
I'll take that to the other way around
I actually trust Dirk to right himself.

Ok guys, serious question
Do you prefer the table with the team logos with or without borders.
www.mavsmoneyball.com
ha
I do love the old school logos. I’ve kind of been wanting to see a Charlotte Hornets one.

I think my favorite old school logo so far
Is the Denver one with the miner guy with the red hair. I never even knew they had that logo.
Keeping an eye on the Philly/Detroit game as well
Rooting for the Sixers in that one, so the Magic will have an easier time
I've always liked the Magic....
Don’t know why. Maybe because I liked Shaq and Penny as a kid.

Last night's game was awesome
Atmosphere was crazy…it was so loud I couldn’t even hear the whistles when there were fouls and stops in play. No one got into my “Salvatore sucks” chant, unfortunately.
Yup.
A little lacking on the defensive end, but a solid overall effort so far.

So the Dirks the one thats struggling today?
I’ll take that anyday, when Dirk is “struggling” hes still better than a lot of players when they’re not.
I kid of like that as an adjuective.
Not sure what it would mean though. __ is the Dirks.
www.mavsmoneyball.com
for example
Person 1:Stackhouse seems to have caught a case of the Dirks today.
person 2: Yes he does seem to be playing extraordinarily well
This is horrible
Totally lost their composure and panicked, resulting in too many jumpshots, as always
msvs = laughingstocks of the decade
Wow, this team is horrible and pathetic

chokerssss
this team is choking more and more every year
by mavsAREhorrible on Apr 29, 2008 7:06 PM CDT reply actions
haha
haha, this team went from “almost” winning the championship, to losing the first round to the warriors, then losing as the 7th seed to NOH. So no playoffs next year? hahahaha
pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic

What about the Suns
They’ve never even been to Finals with Nash. Go make fun of them please.

Thank You Wes
What a buzz kill a phisher can be.
I hope the Mavs bring it on Home. I wanta see this series step up another notch.

That was a half
I think the Mavs can still do this, but i hope the refs let them. This is looking like the most rigged game I’ve ever seen. We got good efforts from Stack, Dirk (of course), Howard, Bass, and early from Kidd but Mavs can’t forget to play d., drive to the hole, and hit shots. Three game winning streak starts here!
Thank you
I didn’t want to stoop to his/her level and make a retort. I thought NO fans were classy and better than that; they weren’t coming in here talking up their team and bashing us like Warriors fans did last year, but I guess that is expecting too much.
no kidding
there is no energy in that building

nvm
didn’t realize they were tangled up… wasn’t as blatant as I thought
by MeanMr.Mustard on Apr 29, 2008 7:39 PM CDT up reply actions
Cut the lead in half
during the third quarter.
Now this is it. This is the series Baby!

Trying to stay positive
They aren’t admitting defeat yet. Most importantly, they aren’t drooling over Paul.

Better than Stack
... who for some reason is still in the game

I have seen mo' ads for that...

He really is.
I hadn’t been able to see him much this year, but he’s a stud.

Howard and Lue just left the bench
not that it matters since there won’t be a game six
www.mavsmoneyball.com
I think they're OK because a timeout was called.
But you’re right, it doesn’t really matter.
by MeanMr.Mustard on Apr 29, 2008 8:18 PM CDT up reply actions
I want
Dirk taking that shot no matter what.
I actually liked the Kidd/George switch to contain Paul
But you’re right, it killed us on the boards…
by MeanMr.Mustard on Apr 29, 2008 8:29 PM CDT up reply actions
Damp could have battled for that board
And if he’d fouled Chandler, that guy might not make both free throws.
So
it’s been fun, guys. Guess it will be an active off-season.
I really hope so
Not sure if we need to blow up this team or what, but some changes need to be made.
I guess that players-only practice didn’t quite work out for the guys tonight. There were signs of promise, but they couldn’t sustain it for the whole game.
Fire Everyone.

Sorry, I can’t be articulate right now. Too pissed.

Read number 2. This is from October 2006.
Brandon Webb, do I need to say more?
Post game interviews....
Dirk is about to come on…
http://broadband.nba.com/cc/playa.php?content=video&url=http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia-live/nba/9198/300_nba-press_wm_1_050819.asx
Can't watch that right now
Too painful. After our loss last year, I boycotted the rest of the playoffs. I doubt I’ll do that this year, though
Wow
Post-game with Dirk was interesting. Acknowledging JHO’s weed debacle as being a distraction and also obliquely questioning the all around effort of the team. He said that he tried to get everyone to play hard but wasn’t able to do it. Was he talking about Josh? Remarked that the team never really clicked post trade.
Wow, indeed
You can always count on Dirk to be honest. Was he asked about Avery and the future of the franchise?
Pathetic
OK,
They put a good effort in at the end…. But come on? I am not one for knee-jerk reactions, but some changes need to be made.
Avery can’t get them over the hump, and they can’t win games that count.
Unfortunately, the Mavs are not in any kind of situation to improve their roster significantly. The Kidd trade and current player contracts will make that very difficult.
I suppose the only answer is to make some coaching changes.
The season just ended, and I am already talking about next year…
No worries, it's not knee-jerk
With the way the last three post-seasons have gone for us, something has to be done.
Bleh
Just bleh. What is going to happen? It almost excites me. This team is not too good right now. Good thing Kidd’s contract will be expiring. We better not resign him.
A couple of fun ideas thrown out lately...
Suns hire Avery, Mavs hire D’ Antoni. Idea is that the Suns could use some of the discipline and defense that Avery brings and D’ Antoni would love to coach Jason Kidd and bring offensive creativy to the Mavs…
Mavs get rid of Kidd, sign AI…and Dirk can get some of the pressure off his back.
Mavs trade JHo for Gerald Wallace…this was pre-Josh sucking…would take an extra piece now..
Does anyone think it is wierd that Howard likes the movie is Fear and Loathing in Las Vagas
Brandon Webb, do I need to say more?
