My Horoscope says DUNK

It's recap time... and we dominated. We were supposed to dominate right? Phillip predicted he Mavs to roll and we did. I have a bit of news though... someone got really drunk at the birthday party... sorry it wasn't me. It was my wife... I think she's okay... I am more worried about this recap though... let's get into the game (or at least the part i saw).

- Josh Howard is BACK! the good news is that he looked aggressive... the bad news is that he still bricked jumpshots and he did his Jason Terry impression at the free throw line...
- Dirk got 20 points again... I can't believe that loser scored less than 20 vs NO... he sucks
- JJ Barea had 12 assists?!?! He is the worst player in the league one night and the next... he brings it... prettay impressive... He's still short...
- I posted it in the game thread... the Mavs had the 4th highest shooting % in the last 18 years... ummm awesome
- Isn't it stupid that roddy boobwa is badass early on vs NO and then we only see him in garbage time tonight? come on now...
- Baylor won today... SIC 'EM
- Jason Terry needs to stop missing free throws or I will punch him... i will...
- I am glad Quinton Ross isn't hurt.
- Is Erick Dampier a viable option in fantasy... i am still refusing to bite... but ever single game this year he isn't hurting your team... gotta love contract years.
- I saw Shawn Marion miss 2 shots before I left... he finished the game 9-11 from the field... I guess he did well after I left huh? Has he shot a FT this year? I am not looking it up... I'm just wondering...
- I've got nothing left... Please leave your thoughts on the game in the comment section and get ready to beat the Rockets on Monday Tuesday... I am going to link the Mavs-Rockets game cuz SBNation gives me that option... not sure where it leads... GO MAVS!

Boshcore, errr boxscore analysis

Horseface CB4 had another strong FT night, 11 tries.
Dirk’s FTA are going south….which is not good for our FreethrowRate (FT/FGA)… and what’s up with the TO’s? Three full? Holger is not amused.
However, “the Show” (which blind goose gave that nickname to J-ho?) got to the line 10 times…
Marion seems to alternate bad showings with good ones. And freethrow-less games with 2FTA
The second half killed Toronto….a case of b-2-b?
Terry stays hot.
The Garbagetime&Benchplay was…. JJT’s favorite word.
EVERY Mav had a positive +/-, every Raptor a negative …that rarely happens, even in 40 point blowouts.
We barely outrebounded , but doubled up on assists.. 24 fastbreakpoints vs 12…that’s good
Points in the Paint 56 to 38 – game over


I smell foul….

"There were arms coming from everywhere, and I knew they weren’t going for the ball," Miller said. "I was just trying to get [the shot] up before they called some crap like ‘on the ground.’ "

"What do you want me to do?" Wright asked. "Do you want me to Derek Fisher him?"

"Give them some fucking credit, i mean for real." Jackson said.

"I just fell on my face for no reason," Bryant deadpanned. "I'm a klutz."

"Fucking right i'm preachin' it!" Carlisle replied.

"Rough life, isn't it. It's tough all over, isn't it." Smith chuckled.

It looks like damp doesn't know what he's doing.

No wonder he always has that stupid look on his face after he commits a foul.

You mean he makes a

Btw, this is some kind of information i am seeking, too

source

One thing the Mavericks did last night that confused the Raptors on offence was send a second defender at Bosh on the block from somewhere he wasn’t expecting it.
Usually, they double down with the guard on Bosh’s side, or from across the baseline with a big.
A few time Saturday night, they came diagonally from the other side of the top of the key and it caught Toronto off-guard.
Excellent move by Rick Carlisle – they did it just enough times that the Raptors weren’t sure when it was coming – and while Bosh did make a smart, easy pass once or twice, he also had at least one turnover on a bad pass.
You know they’ll be working on attacking that kind of double tomorrow at shootaround because teams are notorious for stealing stuff that works and other squads will be dissecting tape of the game today.

Umm...

Can we please get the recaps to be a little more professional? Honestly, I don’t really care when your wife gets drunks unless it has an amusing ending. I don’t expect a semi-professional blog entry to be full of ellipses, I get plenty of that in the comments. I’m not sure if “boobwa” was intended to be clever, amusing, or what, but it failed miserably. All it really inspires is my doubt that you know how to spell Rodrigue Beaubois’ name.

This site has been third on my list of Mavs blogs to visit for a year (behind Dallasbasketball and The Two Man Game), but if I can barely get through the poorly written recaps I’ll just stop visiting.

Not going to miss ya buddy...

ZK, although sometimes vulgar, I feel is a vital part of the MMB community. I hate to ruin the surprise, but this isn’t the Dallas Morning News. This is a bunch of guys doing their best to keep all of us up to speed on all Mavs news that we don’t have the time to research ourselves. I challenge you to take your Mavericks knowledge and quiz him privately.

As for his posts, it seems that you need to schedule an appointment to surgically get the stick that has been so far implanted up your ass. Making “puns” on players’ names or bringing humor to posts is the whole point of belonging to a blog community, there’s freedom to express yourself.

Fair enough

It’s fine if the site isn’t the DMN. There’s no problem with that and, in fact, there are a lot of voids to be filled in the lackluster coverage of the mainstream media. That’s why I’m here. One such void is in-depth analysis and a personal, up-close feel of the team. Dallasbasketball and The Two Man Game take care of those just fine. If Mavs Moneyball wants to be the humorous site, that’s fine too – but you’d better be funny if that’s your goal. (and I’m not sure that’s actually the goal of this blog, which is another bad sign.)

The bottom line is that this article read like the comments I can find on any other site. That’s bad no matter what you’re aiming for.

It sounds like you want to be flamed...

The humor is what I love about this site.

ZK

Great, loved the column. Keep it coming since I don’t have NBA Broadband (yet) and no T.V. I just go off what I read here to recap the games.

Smell it, taste it.

good stuff

I personally am down with your humor induced recaps about the Mav’s Mavs.

by big@thebigandthebrown on Nov 9, 2009 9:57 AM CST reply actions   0 recs

I hate to say it

but I kind of agree with that Johnathan fellow, although I have never seen him post or comment here before.

Humor is great and all, but it is possible to be funny and still maintain some semblance of proper punctuation and grammar (see: Seth at postingandtoasting, Steve at clipsnation).

You obviously have a fair amount of Mavs knowledge, and I’m sure you were voted on as the new author here for a reason (besides being the only familiar name in the contest), but all we are asking is that you slightly clean up the editing, and use a little more discipline in your ratio of jokes to useful information per post.

and when I say "slightly",

I mean “completely reevaluate your strategy when it comes to including humor in your posts at the expense of a readable product”.

and as I dish out the criticism, I make a double post! Sweet!

we really need to be able to edit our comments here.
