[turiaf for president]

nice hustle by arriza. damn where did stackhouse come from all of a sudden

[dallaskd]

Stack hit a three. Mavs have to win now.

[sribb43]

What did Damp do wrong? ...to only get 25 minutes this game with only 3 fouls. he has 10 and 14 and Diop hasnt done jack but have a +/- of -14.

is Carlisle just as dumb as Avery?

[dallaskd]

Kidd needs one more assist...

[sribb43]

Stack hit a three. Mavs have to win now.

What a shame to waste Stack's best performance of the season...

[dallaskd]

What did Damp do wrong? ...to only get 25 minutes this game with only 3 fouls. he has 10 and 14 and Diop hasnt done jack but have a +/- of -14.

airball by NO vitzki

[dallaskd]

airball by dirk, but good hustle.

[Allanon]

Crazy game. Much closer than I would have thought.

[dallaskd]

Great Defense by Dallas. Just need some offense. Need the stars to step up on the other side and Damp and Stack need to keep up the hustle/boards.

[benefactor]

Wow..just turned it on after watching the Spurs game. Looks like its been a war.

[turiaf for president]

ariza just flies!

[RsxPiimp]

another Huge Play By Riza


Love This Kid Man!

[RsxPiimp]

[RsxPiimp]

game over


and 1


nice push dirk you idiot

[turiaf for president]

pauuuu

[RsxPiimp]

Im not trying to rub this in, but did Green get hurt?

yeah

he got Granger'd

[turiaf for president]

dunno why green wasnt in there. stack house was playing well but terry was cold off the bench in the 4th. i woulda kept the sparkplug out there

[monosylab1k]

Mavs played their absolute best.

Lakers were as horrible as they'll ever be this year.

Lakers still win.

[mffl89]

Dirk sucked

[turiaf for president]

lakers D held mavs to 39 points in the 2nd half. they gotta stop taking 1st halfs off tho. its gonna come back to bite the lakers in the ass

[Gino]

Got to hand it to Dork NoTrophy. Two pussy ass fouls that gave the Lakers three point plays and an air ball in the final minutes.

He has to be the softest big man in the history of the league.

Great game Mavs.

Gotta give some props to your team, that's the best anybody's played the Lakers all season...hopefully you can use that to get your season kick-started.

[TheMadHatter]

DAL played one hell of a game, Lakers were lucky to get out of there alive.

What was up with Dirk? He didn't really try and drive at all tonight, is he hurt?

[Tag]

Mavs fans you must understand this wont be an easy loss. The Lakers strategy is to make you think you have hope, that you have a secure lead. By halftime you'll be up by 20 and in high spirits. Then itll come crashing down, Lakers ahead by the end of the quarter, and up by 20-30 at the end. No, this wont be an easy loss.
Hahahahaha

Owned!

[MavDynasty]

DAL played one hell of a game, Lakers were lucky to get out of there alive.

Lakers are just too fucking stacked.

not to be a bitch but there were some total BS calls on both sides of the ball.

Ariza is a fucking beast.


and dirk goes from 4-8 for 5-17 fuckkkk

[monosylab1k]

DAL played one hell of a game, Lakers were lucky to get out of there alive.

What was up with Dirk? He didn't really try and drive at all tonight, is he hurt?

When he drove he missed wide open layups. I guess he figured if he was gonna miss shots, it might as well be jumpers, it's less embarrassing to miss those.

[Gino]

You cant hope to win close games with a leader like Dirk. You need men out there.

[sribb43]

that was some of the worst half court late game execution in the last 2 minutes. The mavs finally played some D and their offense failed them miserably

[monosylab1k]

I might have to Agree with Allanon....Lakers are definitely gonna give the Bulls a run at that 72 win record.

[monosylab1k]

I like to fuck 7 year old girls right in their ass.

[MavDynasty]

Yea but it pisses off the fans.

32-50 record

his pussy doesnt like contact, he shy's away from contact, falls to the ground and hopes to get a foul called

[MavDynasty]

that was some of the worst half court late game execution in the last 2 minutes. The mavs finally played some D and their offense failed them miserably

Exactly,thats why the Suns never got anywhere.You cant expect your fastbreak offense to win close games. They will keep you in but when the D tightens up,halfcourt execution is where its all at. And the mavs dont have any because lack of slashing and lack of lowpost scoring.

Dirk pisses me off how he calls out the team and shits on himself in the most important game of the seaosn thus far

[MavDynasty]

And gina miller is a milf.

[Gino]

The Mavs have no heart. Its been that way for the last five years, too.

I'd say right around the time Steve Nash went to Phoenix.

[monosylab1k]

I am a registered sex offender.

[sribb43]

Damp 27 minutes 14 points 16 rebounds +7
Diop 21 minutes 3 points 4 rebounds and a +/- of -14

WTF Carlisle, you are a fucking idiot...Damp wasnt even in foul trouble

[Gino]

Sup Gino, yall keep winning until we meet Dec 25th. We'll be undefeated.:toast

:lol

SOMEONE has to show these posers how its done!!

Kudos to taking care of business tonight. I look forward to Xmas.

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

It was too easy...all the lakers needed to do was playing 12mins. of good basketball in the 4th and it's done deal. lol another typical win for the LakeShow! :toast

[Zee Laker]

Great first half half by Dallas. fell apart in the 4th Q

Lakers escape with a W

[21_Blessings]

Lakers would win the next 3 championships if they did that trade.

The Lakers are winning the next 3 championships with or without Dirk

Remember when lakers fans said Dirk wouldnt get 20? Double own

This is the NBA and the 1st 3 quarters dont mean shit....its all about how you play in the 4th and the mavs are the worst 4th quarter team in the NBA, even worse than the Thunder

[turiaf for president]

Trevor
Freaking

Ariza

[Lakers_55]

It was a good game to watch. Dallas played very well, and didn't seem intimidated one bit. They were just ground down. They played a collectively good team effort with balanced scoring. They'll make the playoffs. Don't know when the Lakers will lose their first, but we'll enjoy the perfect season while it lasts.

[Ghazi]

"meh" game for the Mavs. They did some nice things, but way too many turnovers and Dirk played terrible in relation to his ability. Part due to Lakers D, but he missed some shots he shouldn't have.

Everyone else played well except for Diop and Bass. I'd say Damp even had more of an imprint on the game than Bynum. Ariza was great for the Lakers. The defense on Kobe was solid but he is "unguardable" so what can you do, he will get his points.

Dirk on the other hand is confirming that he is a class below the "super elite" scorers in the league. It seems like the right defensive schemes ALWAYS limit his output. I dunno, maybe it was just a bad night, bt that's the impression I got tonight.

Just gotta bounce back I guess. @ CHicago will be difficult as well.

fuck off though mono.

[sribb43]

looks like dallas is going to e the 1st team to score 100 over the lakers


dont be so sure...mavs have had some of the shittiest 4th quarters in the NBA this season.. Those jumpres stop falling as the D picks up from other teams



Like I was saying before the 2nd half started

[Allanon]

I might have to Agree with Allanon....Lakers are definitely gonna give the Bulls a run at that 72 win record.

Hahah, I'm just being cocky and hopeful. I hope they do.

C'mon now. I actually do like the Mavs, always catch their games. Disappointed so far so get your shit together.

[sribb43]

this game got lost in the last few minutes of hte 3rd with that trash lineup on the floor. Even good Ol' Bob Ortegal noticed this...a lineup of Kidd, Green, Wright, Bass and Diop killed the monmentum of the game in the last few minutes of the 3rd

It's shocking how bad Diop has gotten. He was never much on offense, but now he has no clue on defense either. All that MLE money went to his head, it's like he's back in Cleveland.

[sribb43]

Dirk cant even take Pau off the dribble which is said. He cant score on smaller defenders and now he cant drive past the bigs. he is turning into Michael Finely, just a catch and shoot guy

[sribb43]

his gay ass babby hook from 2 feet from the goal is priceless.. its like the guy is afraid of the rim and he wont ever dunk

Oh and Rick, you cant have Kidd on the floor with 3 guys who arent true offensive threats, Bass Diop and Wright...you fucking moron

So... what did the Mav fans end up chowing down on during the game?

[sribb43]

no bc Cubes loves his team and will offer Bass the maximum contract that he can make next summer

Yeah considering he got into that fight with Avery over Bass' playing time.

The more this team plays this season, the more things Avery appears to be right about. That's starting to scare me. I was leading the Fire Avery charge, and this team couldn't have taken another season with Avery around....but so far Bass sucks and this is not a playoff team....two things Avery was adamant about.

[IronMexican]

I have a major hard on for Ariza.

[monosylab1k]

I'm fucking stoned out of my mind but I really feel like writing an open letter to Marc Cuban right now.

so we shouldnt take you and spursdyansty seriously. all find by me thanks.

Luke Walton for Bass? Throw in a draft, or Mihm?

Walton and a first rounder....I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[turiaf for president]

buss will prolly add cash on top lol

[sribb43]

package stack and bass and throw in Wright and get what you can...mavs just wasted Stack's best game of the season and Wright and Bass are trash

Damnit but we would still have Diops 5 yr deal and JJB 3 year deal. Our front office is fucking stupid

The law of averages finally caught up with their over-reliance on the jump shot.

You can mail that one in buddy.

Rocket Fan can claim 'hat trick' once that game is won. Not before.

Just pointing that out.

whenever i watch fisher shoot clutch freethrows, he misses at least one. im glad he hit all 4 today.

haha lakers are tempting me to up my bets. probably wont bet tomorrow though since its a b2b and they play the hornets.

[Shank]

Eh, decent game. I don't know that many expected Dallas to win, but I applaud the effort. That same kind of fire they displayed tonight will win them a good share of the rest of the games.

The 4th quarter thing, though. I don't know what the hell to think about that.

Dirk will be called out for his poor play, and rightfully so. The rest of the guys won't hold it against him, though. What he said was true and it was on display tonight. The sense of urgency, the extra push and the hustle that was shown tonight wasn't there for the first 6 games. They keep that same drive, with Dirk getting his shit together, and things look a lot brighter.

I still think they need to make a move for another offensive option. Some new blood can't hurt. Stack should still be the first to go. Good game tonight, but I'm not buying it over the long run. Bass...pack your shit, too.

Lakers are solid, obviously. Deep bench and very long defensively. I think they'll make the playoffs but don't hold me to that. But the Laker fanbase might be the most annoying in all of sports. Seriously, they're like fucking schoolkids when watching the games in person. Half of them weren't into the team until the 00's and they make it a point to be assholes and mock everyone else sitting around them. It's borderline pathetic. You get 1 game at the AAC this season and you proceed to act like the biggest fucking douchenozzles for the entire game. And take your sunglasses off. You're indoors for fuck's sake. You're not Kanye. And you - the 350 pound tub of shit sitting in the aisle seat. Take off the Kobe jersey. You're clearly not a professional athlete.

But I digress. I liked some of the things I saw in the Mavs tonight, despite the loss. You don't get credit for moral victories in the NBA, obviously, but this may pay dividends in the future.

Oh, and fuck yourself for reading this.

PS - Tacos.

I must admit A LOT of Laker fans were being obnoxious but so were the MAVS fans and they still talked trashed after they lost ...some said to me what about Game 6 orf the Finals and yall cant be Boston ...

LMAO about the Finals comment no MAvs fan has the right to make fun of another team for not closing out well in the Finals

[monosylab1k]

You don't get credit for moral victories in the NBA

Tell that to the Mavericks, they seem to think stockpiling moral victories will give them bonus points come playoff time.

"We tried really hard for 3 quarters! Yay for us! Sure we sucked a fat one in the fourth, but.......we tried REALLY REALLY REALLY hard for THREE WHOLE QUARTERS!!!! Do you realize how hard that is?"

[angelbelow]

If you heard Kobe after the game on KCAL, you would bet on LA.

after the buzzer it was just running in the background. so all i heard was kobe saying gasol is a helluva a player too or something.

[IronMexican]

He said something along the lines of: "This is what we play for, going on a back to back into a hostile envirement against a good team" He sounded pumped.

[TJastal]

This ones on you Dirk and you Carlisle for poor rotation management at the end of the 3rd....that is all and goodnight

I thought the Mavs played a wonderful game, and would have won it if not for the literal 20+ or so bad calls that went against them.

[icem]

lakers just beating a team they are supposed to beat. the mavs fuckin suck

I thought the Mavs played a wonderful game, and would have won it if not for the literal 20+ or so bad calls that went against them.

Mavs owned the refs 1st quarter

[RsxPiimp]

there were some questionable calls in favor of the lakers, particularly the foul on dampier when it was a clean block.



but lets not kid ourselves, the lakers deserved this win mainly because of trevor ariza's hustle and hustle points.

is it true that between the 3rd and 4th quarter break, the Mavs played a song on the jumbotron clowning the Lakers and all the Lakers were watching it pissed off?

[Killakobe81]

is it true that between the 3rd and 4th quarter break, the Mavs played a song on the jumbotron clowning the Lakers and all the Lakers were watching it pissed off?

They did play it not sure they were pissed off per se ...it said something aout Mama dont let your babies grow up to be Laker fans ...great arena even highers seat have good sight lines ...but they play cheesy videos every quarter ...hey had Jason Terry's head on Micheal jackson in the "thriller video" (Yes it was THAT bad) and Dirk over Napoleon Dynamite in the dance scene ...

Laker games do not do cheesy crap like that plan to go to AT&T for Laker game this year I hope Spurs keep it clasy like their team and will be curious to see if Laker fans will dominate like we did in Dallas last night

So you were one of those fucking idiots in attendance last night? Good for you.

From the recap:


Nowitzki passed up a potential tying shot, giving the ball to Stackhouse, who missed. After a defensive stand, Nowitzki shot an airball on a 3-pointer. After yet another defensive stop, Nowitzki passed to Stackhouse in the corner and Ariza came flying in to swat a 3-point try out of bounds with 1 second left on the shot clock. The Mavs wound up with a shot clock violation, then Pau Gasol scored a three-point play on the other end to seal the victory.

there were some questionable calls in favor of the lakers, particularly the foul on dampier when it was a clean block.



but lets not kid ourselves, the lakers deserved this win mainly because of trevor ariza's hustle and hustle points.

I could name a couple of Mav favored calls as well. Bynum and Odom got no love from the refs. But I feel the game was quite fairly called.

The refs aren't gonna get every call right but I thought they did a pretty good job of giving out calls evenly.

28 free throws for the Mavs
26 free throws for the Lakers

There's no need to favor any team. It's safe to say the officiating, all-around, has been terrible so far this season. Do they even whistle for traveling any more?

[Bandwagon Fan]

STFU you just arent nuanced in the ways of the ref.

[Shank]

Losers always complain about the refs.

Are you trying to specifically point me out on this?

This loss was Carlisles fault. He let the reserves stay in to long and get into a hole before bringing back the starters. When they started to nut up he should have called a timeout and brought back the starters. He also played Gerald Green a little to long as well. When your team starts to stumble it's the coaches job to call a timeout and get the team refocused. Carlisle waited to long to make that decision. That five minute window was the difference in the game.

I have to give some blame to the refs as well. This game was called heavily in the Lakers favor. They beat up and Raped Dirk the whole game and he couldn't get any calls. Come to think of it no Mavs players were getting any calls. There were some drives to the basket that looked like football plays that weren't getting called.

It was a kind of "let them play" game, not many foul calls either way. Dampier got alot of his rebounds by pushing Bynum or over the backs. But the refs let it go both ways. A much rougher game than usual but no love going to any one particular side.

The Free throws and foul calls were evened out so there was no favoritism to either team. You can't ask for much more than that from the refs.
