I’m Jewish and not a big fan of Christmas, but I can’t resist Barea playing a blow-up guitar and singing Feliz Navidad…

i'm not here to rub in the win in yall's faces.

i’m saying it’s pretty poor that all of you guys blame the refs. if you guys saw the replay, the ball that brooks picked up was inbounds. accept the loss. we were the better team this game. don’t be pissed, yall have already kicked our ass twice.

We always attract the fucking idiots.

It’s stupid that they come over to talk shit. I wouldn’t do that and I would expect that we’re all too classy to do that shit.

"Dirk is a skinny bitch and Landry is a monster"

That’s some professional analysis right there.

You’re such a troll, and a thug for asking people to come over here to support your trolling, people who had the class to tell you off, so props to them.

by mg4tx on Dec 18, 2009 11:02 PM CST up reply actions  

am i supposed to be professional?

i’m not a writer or anything of that nature. i blog how ever the fuck i want to, and you can’t tell me otherwise. i don’t have class. i could care less what someone in a different city thinks. but if you guys sleep better at night by moaning and bitching how the refs screwed you over, then fine. that right there is no class. you give no credit to the rockets winning. next time you talk shit don’t set yourself up for a comeback hypocrite.

Rockets your a troll not here for nothing but start crap with these fans.

You can say all you want but you know us fans are frustrated with the game and how it was called so here you come starting crap and then wonder why no one sends out the welcome carpet for u. You can take your butt back to the Rocket blog and act as if the game was called fairly. We will sit and cheer and complain cause well incase you didnt notice this is a mavs blog. I can’t stand people like you. No one saw you here after Dallas whipped your Rockets but being you finally won a game….here you come. Gutsless fan!!!!!!!!!!

It must be frustrating for him

They needed Dirk to get injured to beat us. Hope we meet again and things go back to normal, that is, Mavs blowing Houston out of the building.

by mg4tx on Dec 18, 2009 10:35 PM CST up reply actions  

cmon dude.

don’t talk about injuries. our two best players are out. that’s like no dirk or terry for you guys.

au contraire.

you guys do better sans Tmac and Yao slows your game down. none of this quid pro quo talk.

by fishbonebui on Dec 18, 2009 10:42 PM CST up reply actions  

I just moved here to Seabrook 4 months ago , so

I have to watch a Rocket feed of the game. I heard the dumbest thing ever from their commentators. One said well I will take that trade off anyday of losing Dirk and Landry. Then the other commentator chimed in and said not so fast cause virtually thats a good tie of a trade off. So this is the intelligance here in Houston. They believe Dirk being hurt is equal to Landry. I about busted out laughing at that idiot lol.

BTW nice game to the Rockets and the refs. That was a team effort and you can just imagine the bias crap I had to listen to on the Houston FSW feed lol

Haha that is pretty funny.

Letting Brooks get those 3’s killed us, but the horrible officiating killed the pace and the calls were bs. Go take a long shower to purge the shit you had to listen to.

by bruce182 on Dec 18, 2009 10:39 PM CST up reply actions  

lol it wasn't that much drama

just a bunch of bias Mavs/Rocket fans showing how much they love their own teams :)
