Hornets-Mavs Game Thread

[crc21209]

NO up 4 on the Mavs halfway thru the 1st.

[Pelicans78]

Looks like West hurt his shooting hand. Kidd drawing a good foul on CP3.

[crc21209]

So far the Mavs are hanging around with the Hornets...we'll see if they can keep it up.

[Pelicans78]

This game is gonna be close. We don't blow out teams anymore. Our pace is alot slower from last season. We don't run up and down the court.

[sook]

hornets by 20

[Pelicans78]

Dirk Nowitzki. You've just been through

THE SEAN MARKS EXPERIENCE

http://www.hoopsvibe.com/IMG/sean_marks-arton21074-240x240.jpg

[Pelicans78]

Posey's missed two layups.

[crc21209]

Don't know who I should go for being a Spurs fan lol. Both teams are in the division. But NO also only has 22 losses, while Dallas has 24.

[crc21209]

Wow that was a close-buzzer beater by Dirk to end the half but I dont think its going to count.

[Pelicans78]

That shouldn't have counted.

[Ghazi]

Mavs playing well so far considering its a roadie b2b and 4th in 5 nights.

But the defense looks tired and is doing too much switching for my tastes.

[Ghazi]

But that's more a reflection on the fact that the Hornets are garbage rather than the Mavs playing well.

A good team would've finished us by halftime already.

[crc21209]

Tie game 45-45. Which team will be able to pull away coming outta the half?

[Pelicans78]

But that's more a reflection on the fact that the Hornets are garbage rather than the Mavs playing well.

A good team would've finished us by halftime already.

We're a little sluggish from the layoff. Don't worry Ghazi. We're a 3rd quarte team anyway.

[Ghazi]

2 day layoff? Give me a break.

[crc21209]

lol Charles calling out the Mavs, saying theyre not that good.

[Pelicans78]

2 day layoff? Give me a break.

We were lulled to sleep by the early 12-3 lead. Dallas made a nice little run. Probably go down into the 4th unless Dallas wears out early.

[sribb43]

Im betting the house that CP3 takes a shit on the Mavs in the 2nd half

[Pelicans78]

Mavs shot 56% in the 2nd quarter. CP3's shooting woes continue. Team continues to play its slow pace and not have any transition points.

[lefty]

That alley oop with CP3 and some guy was amazing :tu

[sribb43]

Posey's missed two layups.

WTF were the Mavs double teaming Posey in the post leaving 3 point shooters open. :bang if there going to run the offense through Posey, let him go 1 on 1...Jesus Christ, I dont understand NBA coaches sometimes

[Pelicans78]

Finally we get some transition points. Need to run more with Wright and Chandler.

[Ghazi]

Bleh mavs missin open looks leading to transition buckets.

[Pelicans78]

Bleh mavs missin open looks leading to transition buckets.

Both teams are just shooting perimeter shots and scoring off of misses.

[Pelicans78]

They really called a tech on that? what a joke.

[Pelicans78]

What the hell was Kidd thinking what that pass? Trying to get Dampier killed.

[balli]

What the hell was Kidd thinking what that pass? Trying to get Dampier killed.

Yeah that looked painful.

[Pelicans78]

That fall must have put Damp's wrist back in place. He made both FTs.

[DeadlyDynasty]

New Orleans will win this game by at least 15...Dallas has already blown their load

[DeadlyDynasty]

wow, what a play by Paul...thats a top 10!

[Pelicans78]

If CP3 would have made that same pass to Posey in LA, we would have beaten the Lakers.

[sribb43]

JJ Barea is a piece of shit...he comes in the game for JET and all hell breaks loose on the Mavs. God i hate that midget

[Ghazi]

Yeahhhh Im kinda ready for the Barea experiment to end.

[sribb43]

Yeahhhh Im kinda ready for the Barea experiment to end.

it should have ended back in december when the league finally figured him out and as i typed this Barea gets called for a charge

[DeadlyDynasty]

gettin' ugly

[sribb43]

this game is turning out just like the Rockets game 2 weeks ago

[portpower_11]

When a team having player like Berea, they are no way to win the game

[DeadlyDynasty]

lol, announcers twisting the "devin harris" knife just a little bit harder

[sribb43]

Im betting the house that CP3 takes a shit on the Mavs in the 2nd half

Like I was saying

[Pelicans78]

Posey still ice cold from the 3.

[portpower_11]

Berea, you are a superstar for Honerts

[sribb43]

JJB is making me want to see JET back at PG

[sribb43]

SHUT THE FUCK UP MARV and REGGIE...WE DONT NEED TO RELIVE HISTORY

[Pelicans78]

Barrea with a -7 in only 10 minutes.

[portpower_11]

Fuck,

Only Dirk try to make mavs stay in the game,

Berea, how to describe you???

[Sportstudi]

Barea is a worthless piece of s***

[Pelicans78]

Geez what is West thinking?

[sribb43]

Leave JET in the game Carlisle....JJB is trash. The JET can play 48

[Ghazi]

Like I was saying

A PG going off on the Mavs who wulda thunk it? :rolleyes

[Pelicans78]

This quarter ended terribly. Start of the 4th will be big as Scott will take out Paul.

[Ghazi]

JJB made too many negative plays that quarter. Mavs had looks from 3 but couldn't knock them down.

We can't stop guard penetration but that's something we just have to live with. 12 straight FG makes was vexing though.

Surprised we're still in it. We need to nail some fluke shots to get back in it.

[sribb43]

another shitty 3rd quarter for the Mavs on the road

[DeadlyDynasty]

Barrea with a -7 in only 10 minutes.

WOW

:wow

[sribb43]

Barrea with a -7 in only 10 minutes.

Mavs might as well put in George so that JJB wont have the worst +/-

[Sportstudi]

Mavs might as well put in George so that JJB wont have the worst +/-

Are you sure? Barea is currently playing at least on the same level as George :bang

[portpower_11]

We need Josh, Dirk, J-Kidd, J-Terry, Singleton, bass playing for the Q4

No wright, no Berea please

[portpower_11]

Are you sure? Barea is currently playing at least on the same level as George :bang

how about Green, at least he can score

[Pelicans78]

Wow, Scott left the starters in. Not a bad idea. Big play by West.

[sribb43]

Nice small lineup Rick with JJB, JET and Kidd as we give up an offensive rebound...fuckin' genius

[Pelicans78]

No way should Barrera be on Paul. He looks terrible right now.

[sribb43]

JJB putting the Hornets in the penalty

[sribb43]

No way should Barrera be on Paul. He looks terrible right now.

i'd rather see Damp play Paul at the top of the key than barea

[portpower_11]

With this lineup, the game will be end in 2 mins

Cuban need to fire RC

[Pelicans78]

Damn Kidd.

[sribb43]

With this lineup, the game will be end in 2 mins

Cuban need to fire RC

Where is Quinn Buckner when you need him?

[Pelicans78]

We need to guard the 3.

[portpower_11]

Fuck RC, why are you in love with Berea?

[DeadlyDynasty]

come on mavs, make this shit interesting at least

[sribb43]

what kind of lineup is this to start the 4th, how the hell are we suppposed to get back in the game

[lefty]

lolololololololololololololololololol

[DeadlyDynasty]

Barea with the matador defense

[MarHill]

I will post that not having Josh for the 2nd half has hurt the Mavs offense! The Hornets will win tonight.

[Ghazi]

We miss J-Blunt as it mandates PT for Barea.

But he's been in the game too long now.

[Banzai]

Mavs getting close.

[sribb43]

Im betting the house that CP3 takes a shit on the Mavs in the 2nd half

[Shank]

Mavs are bad tonight. Can't rebound worth a dick and Hornets shooting 90% or something.

[DeadlyDynasty]

that's all folks

[sook]

just putrid. Dallas is sucking long fat dick this game. This is how mavs fans were raving the mavs would play with the so called "Jet"?

[Ghazi]

Mavs just got tired.

[portpower_11]

I just don't understand why Dirk only had one shot in Q4

I just don't understand why RC always use bad lineup starting in Q4

If you decide to give the game away, you should not take Dirk back to the game

[Pelicans78]

Time to take out the starters. Not risk an injury.

[sribb43]

Its the JJB show when he is in the game

[sribb43]

Time to take out the starters. Not risk an injury.

Fuck it B. Scott....Run it down our throats

[lefty]

lololololololololololololololololololololololololo lololololololololololol

Jet
Cuban

Mouse

BUmp

Lololololol

[Pelicans78]

Nice move by Hilton. He needs to get his confidence back. He's more athletic than Marks.

[sribb43]

"we like our boys in blue"

[Ghazi]

"we like our boys in blue"

What are you upset about? Mavs won 1 more game in the last 2 nights than YOU expected ;). Consider us to be playing with house $.

[Ghazi]

I'm not that upset about this loss. It wasn't the same kind of blowout we've seen with the Mavs a few times this year. This was just a case of a team running out of gas and having bad defense against PG's regardless.

4th game in 5 nights, back to back, road game.

Shots didn't fall in the 3rd, led to transition buckets, J-Ho was out, etc.

I'm more concerned about how we do on the road trip coming up.

Not that it matters at the end of the day since we're 1st round fodder, but I'm not that pissed about this particular loss.

[sribb43]

i expect the Mavs at least to have a chance to be within striking distance in the 4th quarter, not take a shit on the floor and get blow out once again on the road..this shit is depressing.

Not even the Kings, Grizz, Thunder, Bobcats get blow out like this against the better teams, at least they are competitive. Your Dallas Mavs arent even competitive anymore on the road

[Pelicans78]

Sighhh. I can sleep well tonight. We won a game we had to win. Have another must win at home Saturday against OKC.

Road game, back to back, 4th game in 5 nights.

A lot of teams have trouble in the 2nd half of these types of games, I remember the Hornets losing by 26 when it happened to them earlier this year.

As for this team having a chance to get within striking distance in the 4th, it did. The game was officially over halfway through the 4th.

And I'm not sure why you'd expect the Mavs to be within striking distance after the 4th quarter, considering how many games we've had this year where we were done by the end of the 3rd.

True but Carlisle ran out that shit lineup much like he didd against the Grizz a few months back to start the 4th and like that the game is out of reach

"Dirk, tell me how my ass tastes.'' :lol

[Ghazi]

I'll concede that. Barea was agitating.

The Hornets are simply a bad matchup for us. I'm not excusing the loss of our beloved Mavs, but considering all the aforementioned factors + the fact that the jumpers weren't falling and we can't guard point guards, I can't get too upset about it.

It ended in the 3rd when CP3 decided to take over the game. Our personnel simply can't do anything about that, it just can't. We can only hope to offset it with jump shots but they weren't falling.

Beloved Mavs are an average defensive team but when it comes to point guards it's just down right atrocious. That's a killer in a PG stacked conference like the West. 27th in the league as far as PG defense I believe.

Will Ferrell should star in the Sean Marks autobiography. Too bad he already did a basketball movie, but that was an ABA story. Maybe he can do a NBA story now.

This is how the Rockets were last night, except we didn't get blown out in Utah.

None. I can say whatever the hell I want. Thanks.

Reading this thread, I'm glad I didn't watch the game. Thank jeebus for research papers.

One more note.

Beloved Barea has been a pleasant surprise this year but I'm really tired of the experiment. Not to knee jerk or anything, his size is just a nuisance on the defensive end and despite scoring outbursts here and there he really isn't that good from behind the arc, has tunnel vision at times, and can't finish at times either (due to the size)

Love you Barea, I really do. As you are a beloved Mav.

But we should give hte backup PG minutes to Terry and free up a few minutes more minutes for Singleton or something

Kidd 36 Terry 12
Terry 24 Wright 24
Howard 36 Singleton 12
Dirk 36 Bass 12
Damp 27 Bass 12 Singleton 9

... somethin like that.

Howard's injury provided a blow in the fact that you guys don't have another true SF outside of Wright or Green. It would have made more sense to bring in a small forward at that point instead of Terry since Kidd was shooting the ball well and Dirk was hot. You guys didn't need Terry's offense at that point. It's kinda like how we started Wright instead of Posey at SF since Posey provides a little more scoring off the bench than Wright would.
