Thoughts on our beloved Mavs tonight

[Ghazi]

I'm so proud of my boys. This was a consummate TEAM effort. I have no complaints with how anyone played this game for the Mavs. Barea slice/dice, Damp on boards, Dirk/J-Ho/Terry making shots, Bass/Wright with bench contributions. Kidd with a play here and there, maybe some more scoring from him would be nice.. Our guys picked up their defense, hit their shots, and beat a team they were supposed to beat.

And the mental toughness the guys showed!? Early game, down 13, shots not falling. Dirk in foul trouble. 4 point game at halftime.

3rd quarter, Mavs up 9, Spurs eat it up quickly. Spurs start 4th Q with a 3, Mavs did not wither. ALl those bullshit 3's and bullshit Duncan shots the Spurs were making, the Mavs never panicked. I'm so proud of the guys

Can we even say the Spurs had an off game? Parker missed a few gimmes, but they were blazing from behind the arc and Duncan looked very great.

Ive often said, when our bench was criticized, whether it was the undersized nature of Barea/Bass and the rest of the scraps, the beloved Mavs bench is not THAT bad. The problem was the core. But the core is much better when Howard is playing like this.

I have nothing left to say, I am filled with euphoria right now, but there's still plenty of series to be played. I would say at this moment in time though the Mavs have the upper hand.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Mavs Blow.

[Kai]

Bravo, Mavs. Solid game all around. My opinion of them has really changed in these last few days.

[Basketballgirl25]

I thought mavs played well tonight even though I hate them with a passion. Of course it is only the first round so they might want to just lose so they don't have to face Lakers in the West or a small chance they make it to the finals creamed by the CAVS

[Shank]

And your fanbase is acting like they lost it. We all know it's one game.

[Blue Jew]

:rollin you guys act like you won the championship :lol


And you guys act the world has ended.

[Basketballgirl25]

:rollin you guys act like you won the championship :lol

for mavs to win in the playoffs it's almost is like them winning a championship, no just kidding:lol

[Pelicans78]

Fluke win

[mavs>spurs2]

Fluke win

Are you just making some posts?

[poop]

you won because popovich makes incredibly stupid decisions.

in all likelyhood pop wont change anything.

so you guys should continue to win :)

[Pelicans78]

Are you just making some posts?

I really didn't watch this game throughly. Just bits n pieces.

[Jacob1983]

Anyone hear Avery Johnson butcher J.J. Barea's last name on ESPNEWS? He kept on calling him Barera. You would think Avery would know how to pronounce the guy's name considering he coached him.

I am very shocked and surprised by the outcome of game 1. I'm glad that the Mavs got game 1 but it doesn't mean anything really. Mavs can't let up at all in this series. If they want to win it, they have to play the way they did in game 1. I'm also glad that the choking on the road in the playoffs is over now. The Mavs finally broke the streak.

[mavs>spurs2]

:lol It wasn't a serious question. Fluke win, making some posts, ring a bell? Where is SD anyway? He's gone AWOL.

[Rogue]

Mavs-Lakers in the WCF.. book it
agreed, Mavs-Cavs in Finals then.

[DDS4]

Mavs played solid tonight. They deserved to win. But it's not like the Spurs are in uncharted territory with Game 1 losses.

Every series is going to be nip/tuck except the Lakers/Jazz series.

[Purple & Gold]

how'd you know, I came back to say hi to you:toast

:lol I might have to troll there more often

[timvp]

I hate the boys in blue. I hate your beloved mavs.

If the Mavs play like the did against the Spurs against everyone else, they'd be going for their 8th-peat.

[poop]

true timvp, why is it that the Mavs play like their lives depend on it against the spurs?

not only tham, but the Hornets play like the dream team vs the spurs, david west becomes Karl malone, what does he average like 30 and 14 vs vs us??

[BUMP]

i really dont understand why we play like we do against the Spurs and fail to match that intensity against anyone else?

[Ghazi]

Eh, isn't it like 15-13 over the last 28 or osmethin in favor of the Mavs.

All things considered its basically 50/50.

[Laker Lanny]

i really dont understand why we play like we do against the Spurs and fail to match that intensity against anyone else?

Because no one else has coach Pop he brings out the worst in his players. :lmao

[BUMP]

Its just something about that blue jersey when we play San Antonio. i dont know what it is. hell, if i slipped on the Maverick jersey and played against SA i bet i'd throw in a few circus shots off the rafter or the popcorn guy or something :lol

[Findog]

I had to miss this game because I had a date. :bang :bang

But I'm proud of our boys in blue.

[Spursmania]

The Mavs played a really good game. Props to the Mavs bench for kicking our benches ass and Bonner's. You deserved it last night.:toast

[spursfan1000]

Yeah.............................................. ...........Props to the Mavs, but just wait till I make my thread for the Spurs :flag:

[DPG21920]

Bump, you already know the answer to this question. The Mavs play so well because they were built, breed and brainwashed to beat the Spurs and only the Spurs. It seems like they truly believe that if they beat the Spurs that is better than a ring.

They are like a child who has been abused, grown up a sociopath and focuses their ire on the Spurs. But then cries when their pet goldfish dies.

funny post but true.

just absolutely no fear against SA and im sure it is sickening to Spur fans.

i guarantee you if it was any other team in the West that had dominated us like u guys did in the 1st qtr at home, we wouldve just shriveled up and died

[DPG21920]

There were definitely good things from both teams, and like I said, nothing anyone who knows the Spurs/Mavs saw was "surprising". The Spurs were able to do things that everyone knew they could do against the Mavs and the Mavs showed the match-up problems that everyone knew they would present.

It will be about adjustments and rebounding.

Exactly it drives me nuts !

BTW if you win this serie please be sure to make the job done untill the end.

[angel_luv]

Spurs deserved the loss. So does that mean the Mavs earned the win? Or were they given it?

Whichever, the Mavs got the W.

But good luck getting any more! :)

One of the many benefits of being pink'd :lol

[BUMP]

:lol i always forget about that too

[IronMexican]

IIRC, when you are pinked you can do everything you can do now except start threads, edit your posts, private message, see who's online, look at member profiles, search, change your sig or change your avatar. Maybe BUMP can fill us in on some other features I forgot about :tu

[monosylab1k]

yeah I can't do any of that, except I can see who's online. and for whatever reason I can't post in the baseball forum either.

[monosylab1k]

nevermind, i can post anywhere. I guess I just can't post in a thread that I previously created.

[BUMP]

alright in honor of timvp i'll explain the rules of pinked

cant edit, search, look at anyone's profile including yours, start threads, you cant edit any of your stuff on your profile, send PMs
