Around SBN: Tiger Woods Makes His 2012 PGA Tour Debut

Postgame Quotes From Hell

Rick Carlisle

We held them to 29% in the first quarter, so I think it's really a case where... 2nd quarter they shot 83% from the field, 3rd quarter they shot 79%... it's just not getting it done defensively.  Hey, they've got shot makers and a lot of good players, but we didn't fight hard enough -- particularly in those two quarters and then it got away from us.

Anyway to explain the let down?

I don't know.  Again, we played well in the first.  We have a tendency when it's going well to let teams back in at times.  When we get down early we fight back.  It's a trend we have to reverse because you can't win this league coming from behind.  And you can't win consistently if you don't play for 48 minutes,  So we knew this team was going to be a team that battles.  After the first quarter they out battled us.

Dallas defensive efficiency tonight? 140.53.

His answer to that second question

Is the same old song and dance. Of course, he wouldn’t have to keep repeating himself if we actually played a complete game for once without any letdowns. When was the last time we handily beat the opposing team? We haven’t had a comfortable win in a long time.

it's a case where...

you wish it was a game that lasted a quarter, but instead lasted four, right rick? right?

omg

I am sorry but that score is ridiculious! This is the stuff that frustrates me. I live in Los Angeles and see a lot of Lakers games. I dont care if we make it to the playoffs, there is no way we could beat the Lakers! The Lakers 8, 9 and 10th players would start for us.

It's funny

that the trailblazers, suns and jazz lost on the very same night, too.
so the mavs stay in striking distance to the playoffspots.
too good to rebuild, too bad to contend. damn

but somehow it feels like worse games will come for the mavs.

we will get owned by det

but then we will somehow upset boston to revive the mavs faithful.. .only to then lose to gsw at home to piss everyone off again… this team is a tease…

Coach???

Ever notice how Carlisle NEVER shows emotion and ALWAYS looks like deer caught in the headlights? This pitiful team needs a good old fashioned tongue lashing and it needs to be done publicly. Carlisle’s coddling of the team is NOT working. He needs to start calling a few players out for pitiful effort.
Jason Kidd is dong a yeoman’s job with only Dirk fully contributing in every game. Josh Howard NEVER plays more then 1 or 2 quarters and you never know which quarters they’ll be in any game… He is a lazy pot smoking loser and needs to be traded to get this team’s chemistry stabilized. The team plays better without him.
