Rockets vs. Mavericks

[Roxsfan]

If the rox win, they win the SW division.

I say (hope) the rox win a closely fought game by the mavs.
:downspin:

[Ghazi]

Mavs win, I hope. Only based on Rockets being a mediocre road team and Mavs being good @ home.

[Indazone]

Should be a good game. May Jason Kidd throw up multiple bricks.

[Roxsfan]

Mavs win, I hope. Only based on Rockets being a mediocre road team and Mavs being good @ home.

Yeah, if your team is having a vintage night, it's going to be ugly for the rox.

[TMAC-YAO-ARTEST]

This is going to be a street fight, I can just see it now.:wow

[Tmac&Luther]

Mavs win, I hope. Only based on Rockets being a mediocre road team and Mavs being good @ home.

So good at home means barely beating a Al Jeffersonless crappy Wolves team......

Mavs are too inconsistent, they can come out and ball or play like crap at home like tonight, hopefully the bad Mavs show up. Is Jason Terry playing (hope not).

[Ghazi]

so good at home means barely beating a al jeffersonless crappy wolves team......ok.

31-9

[Tmac&Luther]

31-9

With one of those home losses coming from Houston. Houston is going for the division clinch and a sweep on the Mavs court.

[Ditty]

don't the mavs want to play the spurs in the 1st

lets go mavs

[Ghazi]

With one of those home losses coming from Houston. Houston is going for the division clinch and a sweep on the Mavs court.

Mavs are 31-9 at home, Houston is 20-20 on the road. That's all I'm saying. Quit getting pussy hurt :lol

[TMAC-YAO-ARTEST]

Mavs are 31-9 at home, Houston is 20-20 on the road. That's all I'm saying. Quit getting pussy hurt :lol

its close to 60% road wins since mac shut it down. So we have a 60% chance at winning this game. The mavs don't have 77% chance of winning b/c their play is not consistent.

how's that for some bad azz analyst work:rolleyes

[Tmac&Luther]

Mavs are 31-9 at home, Houston is 20-20 on the road. That's all I'm saying. Quit getting pussy hurt :lol

Who said I was getting "pussy hurt"? I'm just stating a argument on how Houston could walk in there Wednesday and go home with a division win....they've already won there before. (with hurt Tpurse as well)

[Shank]

May Jason Kidd throw up multiple bricks.

It's a deal!

[Matchman]

if the Rockets win great we got ourselves the first division title since the championship years.
if the Rockets lose thats fine too because that means that the Jazz will be playing the Lakers in the 1st round :lol

[Ghazi]

Who said I was getting "pussy hurt"? I'm just stating a argument on how Houston could walk in there Wednesday and go home with a division win....they've already won there before. (with hurt Tpurse as well)

I don't disagree...

It will be a good game, I just give beloved Mavs an edge on this particular night since its at home, and HC does make difference in NBA.

If we hit our shots like against Utah and Phoenix, we will win. If we have a 8 minute FG drought w/ TO's and 14 missed shots, we will lose. Houston is a good defense so it will be a tough game, but beloved J-Ho will be back so the offene may not stagnate as much as it did tonight for a stretch.

[monosylab1k]

Meh, I'd almost rather the Mavs lose and Utah beat LA. Dallas isn't doin shit in the playoffs anyway, it would be more fun to go to the AAC and see Kobe curbstomp the Mavs instead of some douchebag like Carmelo.

[Kai]

I expect the Rockets to come out with great defensive intensity and win a gritty game. Hopefully Portland takes care of the Nuggets and we shoot right on up to the 2 seed.

And then LA tanks to Utah.

[Many PackYao]

The Mavs always get up to play the Rockets and Spurs plus they're at home. So, I say the Mavs win by 5-10 pts.:bang

[Kai]

:tu

And then LA tanks to Utah.

You really don't think the Mavs have a shot in a series against the Nuggets??

[Indazone]

If we win, then the Spurs get the Blazers. Good times :tu

[monosylab1k]

You really don't think the Mavs have a shot in a series against the Nuggets??

well they can win a game, which is more than they will do against the Lakers. But if I'm going to pay big money to watch the Mavs get their asses kicked in the playoffs, I'd rather pay to see Kobe and not backward fighting pussy Carmelo.

[IronMexican]

I don't.

I gave them a shot vs NO a year ago.

[Ghazi]

Quit being negative.

[Ghazi]

You know the Mavs can still play the Rockets, Nuggets, Lakers, Spurs, or Blazers in the 1st round.

[Shank]

You know the Mavs can still play the Rockets, Nuggets, Lakers, Spurs, or Blazers in the 1st round.

There's also a scenario out there where the Mavs would play the '83 Bullets.

[Ghazi]

Nuggets ain't that fucking good anyway. Their record is inflated by an insane record against lottery teams and a few lucky last second shots against the Thunder.

They lose over 50% of their games against winning teams and are bad on the road, just like the Mavs.

3 of the 4 games came down to the final minute against them. One came down to a bullshit whistle, one came down to Dirk rimming out the final shot, and our all star small forward played a combined 15 minute in the final 3 games.

I'm not saying we'd win, but a championship core has a shot against a team whose best player shoots 40 fucking % over 24 playoff games.

[Pelicans78]

If houston slows the game down and force the Mavs to play a half-court game, it will be a big advantage for the Rockets. However, shot selection is the key. A bad shot can lead to a fast break from Kidd or Terry. Are you listening Artest?

[monosylab1k]

Winning's winning.

[Ghazi]

I agree, I'm just trying to say they ain't "that" fucking good, even though the Mavs are in the same boat.

I don't put much stock into the 0-4 record v them, just like I don't put much stock into the 3-0 record v Portland. Both would be tough series, likely losses, but our fucking boys would have a shot because Dirk, the 2007 MVP, the 2006 NBA Champion, is the best player on the fucking court. (IMO :))

[BUMP]

call me crazy but im not scared of anybody in the West except for LA and slightly New Orleans

[Brickhouse]

The Nuggets are an athletic team and have explosive scorers, just the type of team that give the Mavs fits.

Unless Mavs can get 6th (with help from NO), then 7th or 8th- either will be a quick exit. Of course, not being 8th gives them some false confidence, which hey go for it then.

[Ghazi]

Ain't sayin we match up well with em, just sayin they ain't that fuckin good and are beatable, unlike the Lakers who are an automatic loss (for any West team). Fuck their athleticism, fuck that backward fighting pussy. Their bigs are prolly a nuisance for Damp/Dirk though, and they have an explosive wing player, two w/ JR. Billups is a good PG but I dont think he'd torch Kidd like Paul/Parker do.

If I HAD to guess I'd say nuggets in 5. but if Mavs could somehow steal one of the first 2 in Denver things would be interesting IMO.

Meh, let the chips fall where they may. :smokin.

[Findog]

Mavs could beat Denver, but I consider it unlikely. They'd need HCA, and they won't have it.

[kamikazi_player]

Dallas can't beat Denver, if i were the Mavs, i would face either the spurs or trailblazers.

[Indazone]

JVG: The only team in the West that poses a serious threat to the Lakers are Rockets because of their ability to put 2 great defenders in the game who can slow down Kobe

Jackson: I don't agree at all..that makes no sense

Why?

Jackson: Because the Lakers have big guys like Pau and Bynum who can stop Yao Ming.

JVG: Oh come on. That makes no sense. Bynum or Pau cannot guard Yao one on one. Please, stop it. There is no chance they can stop Yao. The only thing that can cause Yao problems is their help defense. Yao will end up wearing them down.

the rox can fast break now too, especially the 2nd unit.

[Jacob1983]

Can the Mavs win an important game against the Rockets or will they be tasting the Rockets' asses after the game?

I ask that question because the Mavs have been very inconsistent when it comes to big games this year. They beat the Suns in Dallas a few weeks ago which basically got them into the playoffs. They beat the Hornets in Dallas last Friday but sucked ass against the Hornets in N.O. And they kept their hopes of getting the 6th or 7th seed alive on a last second shot by Terry.

[Kai]

Mavs fans who keep talking about playing the Nuggets if Dallas loses tomorrow: You do know that there is a very good chance you'll play the Rockets as the 2 seed, right?

[BUMP]

if we lose to the Rockets?

HELL NO!

nobody comes into the Temple of Doom aka the AAC and comes out alive this late in the year!

Mavericks by no less than 10!

Book it!

[Kai]

if we lose to the Rockets?

HELL NO!

nobody comes into the Temple of Doom aka the AAC and comes out alive this late in the year!

Mavericks by no less than 10!

Book it!

While that may be true, I was pointing out the fact that if by some chance the Mavs do lose, playing Denver is FAR from a sure thing. If Portland were to win at home against the Nuggets, the Rockets would become the new 2 seed, facing the 7th seeded Mavs/Hornets.

Again, I'm not predicting a victory for either team tomorrow, I'm just reminding you guys that you don't necessarily play Denver if you lose tomorrow.

[DaDakota]

Game is meaningless for Dallas today.....same for New Orleans.......

Houston needs it more......gonna be fun to watch.

lol this still means a lot to Dallas. They don't want to face Denver. A matchup with Houston or San Antonio is much more favorable for the Mavs.

+1...I'll take my chance against Rox/Spurs...Mavs would get rolled by Denver, too much athleticism

But Denver plays no defense, plus if you get Carmelo frustrated, he might suckerpunch somebody and get thrown out of the series....I would love that:toast

The Spurs D is nothing that it has been in the past and their older legs - Manu = best matchup for Dallas

[Morg1411]

I want Spurs/Mavs because it will be a fun series, as would Rockets/Blazers and Nuggets/Hornets. Texas Triangle have all matched up fairly well with one another this year, so any series involving two of the home cooked teams will be a treat to watch.

[endrity]

Even Portland seems to be a great matchup for Dallas. Denver is definetely too athletic, especially in the frontcourt, for me to think the Mavs have a chance.

[BUMP]

We all give the Rocketfans a hard time for their failure for getting out of the first round, but Denver hasnt been out of the first round since they upset Seattle in 94 which is even longer than Houston.:lol

Might as well get some excitment in the 1st round with a Spurs/Mavs matchup bc thats pretty much all the Mavs fans could hope for with this team

[DPG21920]

Mavs, please do not suck tonight. It is not that I want the Spurs to play the Mavs, it is just the ideal scenario if the Spurs can get past them.

mavs, please do not suck tonight. It is not that i want the spurs to play the mavs, it is just the ideal scenario if the spurs can get past them.

+1

[DPG21920]

Lets make the Lakers have to play a physical (yet currently terrible) Jazz, then have to beat Houston or the Blazers. Even though the Lakers will win both, it is just the hardest possible path to the WCF for them.

[Ghazi]

Denver, Houston, San Antonio... it really doesn't matter, our guys are gonna lose :(

We used to have the psyche to win 2 games in Houston when down 2-0, and win a Game 7 in San Antonio as well as eliminate the Suns on their home court.

But ever since Bennett Salvatore made the worst call in the history of sports, robbing our beloved Mavs of a championship, our psyche has been destroyed. The guys are 35-47 in the last 2 years on the road, 0-6 in the last 6 road playoff games, and the shooting hovers around 40%.

I feel for our boys, I really do. If Bennett Salvatore does not make the worst call in the history of sports, the course of this franchise would probably have been much different, and we would be going for our 4th straight championship this year.

the likely outcome is LLWLL with Dirk saying "we just didn't make our shots this series"... after Game 4.

But the JET says great things are in store for this team, and so if JET believes, I believe :). WE shall follow our beloved Mavs to the gates of hell, to the ends of time, ends of the Earth.

Definitely.

Btw, what happened with the thread and Bump's sick joke? Deleted?

[DPG21920]

It is a win/win for the Spurs tonight with regards to the Mavs. If the Mavs win, then great for the Spurs, they are the 3rd seed. If they can beat the Mavs, they will avoid the Lakers until the WCF.

If the Mavs tank and lose tonight, Spurs fans can forever continue talking trash because the Mavs tried to duck us.

They don't.

yeah, its well known that everyone in the West is trying their best to get out of that 6th spot to face the buzzsaw known as the San Antonio Spurs.

[sribb43]

If Mavs lose to the Spurs without Manu....Mavs fans should never be able to bring up '06 Game 7 ever again

[sribb43]

Why would the Mavs want to tank?

Is no reason to tank bc if they won in the 1st round and NO won their matchup then Mavs would have homecourt in the 2nd round against NO and that would be huge...not a likely scenario but you never know

[DPG21920]

yeah, its well known that everyone in the West is trying their best to get out of that 6th spot to face the buzzsaw known as the San Antonio Spurs.

Read. He asked why they would want to tank and the only reason possible is to avoid the Spurs, there is no other scenario. I said it would be stupid, meaning they do not want to tank and they want to play the Spurs.

Go start another thread.

[BUMP]

alright Rappin' Vinny

[Jacob1983]

The 2006 Mavs were a far better team than this year's Mavs especially against the Spurs. You can say whatever you want about the Mavs but you can't take away the fact that they are one of two teams this decade to beat the Spurs in the playoffs therefore preventing the Spurs from repeating.

[DPG21920]

So glad to see Lowry in instead of Brooks. He settles down the offense.

great start, let's keep it going, as well as the Spurs beating the Hornets!

[Indazone]

Maybe Brooks will be a star someday. Right now he's too inconsistant and plays out of control. A young Parker maybe.

Well so far it's been ugly. What are we doing resting the starters?

Where's Yao? Scola? Artest?

wow i just realized if we win tonight that's 8 straight years of 50+ wins.

nobody outside of SA, has accomplished that

Kyle Lowry baby!!!

Yao fans bust nuts over this shit?

Damn, Yao already has 19 pts and it's not halftime yet.

cause they seem pretty determined

I just woke up, maybe he did a windmill or something?

[Indazone]

Houston wins, they win the SW Division outright

[dirk4mvp]

Damn, Yao already has 19 pts and it's not halftime yet.

That's kinda average. Dirk does that in quarters sometimes.

[Ghazi]

It's gonna take a lot of hot shooting to win this one. Houston's just better than the guys.

[Indazone]

This looks like the Yao when he lit up games for 30-40 pts under Van Gundy.

[IronMexican]

Lol, Mavericks

[The Franchise]

Good first half. The fellas started out a little shaky, but got it going to lead at the half.
I really hope Aaron Brooks plays a little better in the second half. He irritates the shit out of me when he can't get us into our basic offense.

[BUMP]

i was stunned that last shot didnt go in for Yao the way he has been shooting today

[Sportstudi]

It's not Lowry, it's due to RC's shitty rotations. Dirk got cold. Nobody has shut down Dirk Nowitzki this game but RC. In-out-in-out-in... RC, there are some things in your coaching style which clearly don't have a positive effect one the game.

[sook]

That's kinda average. Dirk does that in quarters sometimes.

:lol

Yea as a matter of fact he did that tonight, Scola can not fucking guard him!!!

Every rocket fan knew that, Dirk was open on almost every shot hopefully rick adelman has learned his lesson

[angrydude]

Yao hasn't really done all that much in a row this year. He usually just gets buckets when they need one, not every time down the court. Especially not in the first half. They usually don't pass it too him that much in the 1st half.

[Indazone]

If the Spurs lose to the Hornets and this game keeps going the way it is, does that mean the Spurs get the Blazers?

[Sportstudi]

Lowry does this almost every game...he did the same shit vs NO, we were down 6, then we go on a 28-4 run

Okay, Lowry did a better job on Dirk as Scola, but Dirk is someone who needs to stay in his rhythm. He took him out in the end of the first quarter, put him in again for the second, then out again after just two minutes of playing only to insert him again for the final three. That's bullshit.

[Ghazi]

Lowry didn't defend Dirk, Landry did...

Kyle Lowry is the PG

[mytespurs]

If the Spurs lose to the Hornets and this game keeps going the way it is, does that mean the Spurs get the Blazers?

I think the Spurs are the 5th seed if they lose (and they're down by 2 at the half) and another scenario. Rockets win-they get the division but I'm not sure what seed.

Ups, yes, my bad :lol

But IMO the major reason is that Dirk lost his rhythm after RC's shitty rotations. Starter-out-in-out-in... Three stretches of playing in just two quarters. :bang

[angrydude]

Landry usually isn't that good at Defense either. average at best. I'm inclined to agree with the maverick fans on this one. (except for that block)

No problem.

[Pelicans78]

Mavs 49-32

Hornets 49-32

"much" better.

Weren't you the one saying Chandler for Wilcox/Smith was a roster improvement?

Chandler sucks.

Didn't we kick your asses when Chandler played the previous game in New Orleans on TNT? Seriously, it's the truth. We're 19-5 with Chandler, West, Peja, Butler, and Paul starting together.

[sook]

Landry usually isn't that good at Defense either. average at best. I'm inclined to agree with the maverick fans on this one. (except for that block)

Agreed, jhe is actually a shitty defender but he does a good job on PFs that can shoot, like Pau and Dirk

Chandler sucks.

Because I didn't realize Chandler was playing hurt all season with that bad ankle. He hurt it the very first game of the season at Golden State.

Landry is a little below average actually. In the last game against NO Lowry did a better job in the post on Posey than Landry. That should never happen. :lol

Who cares? 49-32, 49-32. That's all that matter. only in pretend world are the hornets the only team in the league that's dealt with injuries this year.

That was a back to back for the Mavs with J-Ho missing hte 2nd half too, while we're making excuses.

[Roxsfan]

That's kinda average. Dirk does that in quarters sometimes.

we get it bro, either you really hate Yao or you're jealous or both---now shut the fuck up yo

[TampaDude]

Fucking worthless choking Mavs...fuck...

[BUMP]

[Indazone]

Dirk and Yao are pretty even scoring with the edge to Yao so far.

Yao 19 pts 7 rebs
Dirk 16 pts 6 rebs

Dirk has played more minutes

[Spur-Addict]

They're just getting beaten up in the post. (Mavs)

[BUMP]

....

[dirk4mvp]

This game's over folks. Go have dinner with your families.

[Indazone]

Well the third qtr has started off well for the Rockets :D

[BUMP]

LOL damn you guys can't do anything right

[dirk4mvp]

mavs gettin' owned.... as usual


LOL damn you guys can't do anything right


Why can't your team do shit by their self?

[Indazone]

You know you're in trouble when Yao starts hitting jumpers from 20 ft.

[IronMexican]

LMAO Mavericks

[lurker]

I hate our boys in blue.

[dirk4mvp]

I hope none of you fucks ever said Scola doesn't flop.

[BUMP]

We've totally lost our composure, Dirk trying to plow through people, Dampier just mauling people, Yao hitting 20 footers.

[Indazone]

Well that was not a flop freaking Dirk what a pussy

[BUMP]

Dirk has to step up to energize the rest of the team or this will get really ugly.

and of course a little defense

[dirk4mvp]

lmao scola you offensively retarded baboon.

[The Franchise]

Good drive by Howard.

[BUMP]

i dont think Scola flopped that time

[Blake]

damn, josh howard is really sucking up the place.

[BUMP]

Dirk is pissed, i think he's about to go off

[Indazone]

Brooks with his stupid shots argh

[Indazone]

If Dirk goes off we'll just put Artest on him lol

[Indazone]

Actually, come to think of it, why is Scola defending Dirk? Fuck put Artest on him he's our lockdown defender.

[BUMP]

we're looking for calls way to much, i still like Dirk to be aggressive

[BUMP]

Hollins running the floor

[BUMP]

our efforts looking a lot better

[Indazone]

Luis cannot stop Dirk. He's also missing his shots tonight. I'd rather see Landry out there.

[BUMP]

Dirk!!!

[The Franchise]

Time to take Brooks out, he is doing dumb shit again.

[dirk4mvp]

Ze German!

[Indazone]

Dammit, Brooks and Scola both gotta come out of the game. They aren't "On" tonight.

[Indazone]

Either play big physical Landry on Dirk or move Artest over. C'mon Adleman.

[dirk4mvp]

oh shit

[BUMP]

we need to look at Hollins running down the court, he's making an obvious effort to beat Yao down the court

[The Franchise]

If Yao can't get position on Hollins he is a true bitch.

[BUMP]

right on cue. LOL

[dirk4mvp]

lmao lmao lmao

[Pelicans78]

Rockets are playing pathetic right now.

[sook]

wdsgdsgk;sdgt


ARE YOU A FUCKING IDIOT RICK ADELMAN? I HOPE THE ROCKETS LOSE THIS GAME AND FIRE YOUR BITCHASS HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EXPLAIN DOING THIS?

[BUMP]

Hollins making Yao his bitch!

[IronMexican]

J-Ho fucks it up

[sook]

Rick adleman lost this lead? All you had to do was sub lowry and landry in and he does it but 10 minutes too late?!?!?!

What a fucking idiot!

[dirk4mvp]

Howard you idiot.

[BUMP]

Yao has like 4 fouls in 4 minutes

[sook]

Wowowowo

I am at a loss for words...i was watchi8ng them shave the lead for 10 minutes and my god I have never seen dumber execution by a coach what a stupid dumb fucking idiot

[BUMP]

Hollins is now our Yao stopper apparently

[TampaDude]

4th on Yao! Mavs have all the momentum now!

[IronMexican]

:lol It's funny how much the Mark Jackson troll sounds like Mark Jackson.

[BUMP]

like i said it starts with Dirk. if he can get his, the rest of the team can get energized and make plays

[dirk4mvp]

Cmon Kidd, you can't let freakin Battier take you to the rack.

[sook]

2 of those fouls on Yao were bullshit, way to keep the game close reffs, howard only went to the line 8 straight times

[kamikazi_player]

The ponies will choke somehow

[TampaDude]

Josh fucking Howard, bitches!!!

[Banzai]

wow refs suck rofl...

[The Franchise]

Wafer!!!!

[BUMP]

Who the fuck is wafer????

[Spur-Addict]

Big Bucket from Wafer.

[dirk4mvp]

Josh Howard has shit for brains.

[IronMexican]

WTF, Mavs?

[BUMP]

really? a charge? did he even touch him?

[dirk4mvp]

lmao mark jackson

[Sportstudi]

Hayes should get an academy award for that.

[The Franchise]

Almost Lowry!!

[Amarelooms]

Rockets flop all the time...none of those are charges...you gotta be set to take a charge :elephant

[Mark Jackson]

Is the rodeo in town? Ryan Hollins, you my friend, just got taken for a ride.

[StylisticS]

The NBA. Where inconsistency and incompetence happens.

[Indazone]

Adleman is an idiot with substitutions. Brooks and Scola on the floor against the Mav's makes no sense. At least defensively Scola is wrong on Dirk and Brooks, well Brooks just plain sucks. Lowry should be playing the point period.

[IronMexican]

South Park. Got to miss the 4th.

omfgomfomg


Did he want to put Scola on Dirk as a bet? was 6-8 shooting in the 1st qrtr not good enough?

FUCK THIS GUY

[BUMP]

Dirk continues to abuse Scola

[BUMP]

Mark is right. Dirk needs to carry us

[Indazone]

Adleman still has Scola on Dirk. OMG

[BUMP]

Barea sub yourself out please

[BUMP]

Scola is getting torched!!

[The Franchise]

Scola is just off tonight.

[BUMP]

Scola is just reaching and hacking and then trying to post up Dirk.

he needs to take a seat

[BUMP]

3333333333333333

tie game!

[Banzai]

crazy game..

[dirk4mvp]

Kidd just owned the shit out of Artest.

[Banzai]

5 fouls on Artest

[BUMP]

these refs have bought every flop. horrible

[StylisticS]

JJB is finally producing in this game.

[TampaDude]

5 on 'test...Mavs ball!!! C'mon, you fuckers, win this shit!!!

[Indazone]

Adleman finally figured out..hey I'll take Scola out and put Artest in. Little late dontcha think Addlehead.

[StylisticS]

This burger king commercial needs to go away IMMEDIATELY.

[Mark Jackson]

Father Time has not caught up with Kidd just yet.
.
Artest thinks he can throw an elbow at the old fella, but Kidd responds. Not on my watch, it's playoff time now there's no backing down

[Indazone]

Only guys who should be guarding Dirk are Artest, Landry or Chuck Hayes. No way should Scola be trying to do it.

[BUMP]

This burger king commercial needs to go away IMMEDIATELY.

:lmao

[StylisticS]

Why is Josh not in the game.

[BUMP]

damn

[BUMP]

Kidd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
