Thunder/Mavs

[oh crap]

Who ya got?

[Phillip]

mavs by 8+

[Phillip]

durant always sucks ass against dallas

[Amarelooms]

Think OKC pulls out a close one...which is fine...as long as Mavs win tomorrow and then beat Spurs Thursday

:elephant

[djohn2oo8]

Wish this game was on NBA TV...LOL Toronto/Memphis broadcast

[DPG21920]

Should be a great game. Westbrook should have a field day, but who are they going to put on Dirk? Will probably start with Ibaka who can maybe bother him with some athleticism, but I bet Collison gets good burn tonight.

[oh crap]

anyone got a link to watch this online?? hook a nigga up

[oh crap]

lol on my nuts. throw me the link or get off the dick.

[Ditty]

I got a link pm me but I hope the mavs win so it makes tommorows laker game less of a importance but would be nice if spurs win tommorow at the same time.

[DPG21920]

OKC playing that swarming defense. If the Mavs turn the ball over, they are done for.

[Muser]

Kidd heating up.

[Muser]

No rotations on the Mavs shooters.

[Muser]

God damn Dallas can't miss.

[sefant77]

Salvatore will win this for the Thunder in the 4th

[sefant77]

God damn Dallas can't miss.

God damn Thunder cant defend

[oh crap]

nice shot by harden

[Ghazi]

good start..

[oh crap]

Durant's game is so fucking weak. I can't wait until he falls off.

:lmao

i thought according to some of yous he fell off at the beginning of the season??? how'd that work out for ya's??

[sefant77]

Durant's game is so fucking weak. I can't wait until he falls off.


OKLAHOMA CITY -- As phenomenal as last season was for Kevin Durant (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3202), he still couldn't extract the one thorn in his side: The Dallas Mavericks (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=dal)' defense.



Since he entered the league as a rookie with the Seattle SuperSonics through his third season when he emerged as a bona fide MVP candidate with the Oklahoma City Thunder (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=okc), Durant has put up more bricks against Dallas' defense than any other in the league -- and that's when the Mavs had been considered only decent defenders.

In Durant's career, he's averaged fewer than 20 points a game against just two teams -- Dallas (18.7) and Orlando (17.6), but he's played more than twice as many games against the Mavs (11) as the Magic (five). His career field goal percentage is below 40 percent against only two teams, the same two: 37.4 percent (68-of-182) against the Mavs; 37.0 percent (30-of-81) against the Magic.

Last season was even worse against Dallas for the amazing Durant. He shot just 31.7 percent (26-of-82) from the floor while averaging 22.5 points -- nearly eight below his season average -- and 4.5 turnovers.

But as the Mavs (23-5) head to Oklahoma City (21-10) on Monday night for a second time this season, the only game Dallas remembers is the last one. Durant scored 32 points and was 12-of-20 from the field. The Mavs won, 111-103, with tenacious fourth-quarter defense, but the league's leading scorer had finally done some damage.

[sefant77]

Kidd 8/5/4 after one quarter

[oh crap]

OKC eating away at dallas's lead pretty nicely

[Ditty]

Durant's game is so fucking weak. I can't wait until he falls off.

I agree on this one luva :toast

Durant is really overrated but I hope he brings it tonight

[ImDaNuts]

Luva is a hater Durant gonna step it up now

[oh crap]

[Amarelooms]

shaddup w/ cho retarded takes.

[ImDaNuts]

why you calling me mono?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Hopefully Dirk's ankle injury isn't serious.

[ImDaNuts]

What a block

[Greg Oden]

watching atxrocker cling onto another team's scrot is funny and sad at the same time. Similar to a romantic comedy, or even watching Iron Fauxican fit in with his cholo bretheren.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ouch Chandler

[Greg Oden]

Hopefully Dirk's ankle injury isn't serious.

It's known well by now that Dirk has indestructible ankles.

[sefant77]

these announcer are terrible

[oh crap]

lol chandler

[ImDaNuts]

I wish Gus Johnson announced nba

[Ditty]

Hopefully Dirk's ankle injury isn't serious.

I know don't want the spurs have a cakewalk to the finals

and mavs fans still would think they were going to win the series 03 if dirk wasn't injured

tyson got owned btw

[DPG21920]

True. Dirk rolls ankles, says he's out for 5 weeks, plays 3 games later.

[ImDaNuts]

Durant wake the fuck up you mother fucker don't pass it to Terry

[Ace]

Westbrook

[ImDaNuts]

that mangy fucker just taking it to the basketttttttt

[ImDaNuts]

tie ball game

[u4lakers14]

my bud just i.m.'d and said its dirks knee, not his ankle

[oh crap]

tied game

[Ghazi]

Dirk doubtful to return

Oh well

[DesignatedT]

Did Dirks injury look serious or just a simple roll?

[DPG21920]

Not serious looking. He'd better be back for the Spurs game.

[u4lakers14]

i dont think its his ankle

[u4lakers14]

Not serious looking. He'd better be back for the Spurs game.

did the ankle roll?

[DPG21920]

No. It is a knee.

[LOL@MavsFan]

Dirk doubtful to return

Oh well

Well, we've got a tied game here at half.

[Amarelooms]

LOL Mavs, LOL Mavs Fan

:elephant

[DMC]

That Durant... that's one mangy looking fucker. Don't yall agree?
He's an ugly motherfucker but his jumper is a thing of beauty. He can hit from the parking lot.

[DMC]

Who the fuck are you guys kidding? You hope Dirk doesn't play for the rest of the season, that guarantees the Spurs a WCF berth damn near...

I mean... poor guy, I hope he bounces around back there... I mean, I hope he bounces back soon.

[Roddy Beaubois]

True. Dirk rolls ankles, says he's out for 5 weeks, plays 3 games later.

[DPG21920]

That makes no sense.

[icem]

westgod

[mavs>spurs]

mavs will struggle to score without dirk. i'd rather lose the game in trade for dirk's health if i could.

[Shank]

Too many turnovers. Ugh.

[oh crap]

thunder need to step on that fucking throat now

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Ouch! 3 free throws for the Mavericks!

[mavs>spurs]

losing one game doesn't matter at all since they're still 23-5. whats concerning is they will start to struggle the following games without their german allah. hopefully this will trigger a move for melo though.

[oh crap]

damnit, durant

[Shank]

thunder need to step on that fucking throat now

They were up by 4. How do you "step on that fucking throat" with such a small lead?

[MavDynasty]

no neck with the goods imo

[Shank]

It's a sore knee. He'll be back soon enough.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

They were up by 4. How do you "step on that fucking throat" with such a small lead?
Extend a lead. Go on a run or something.

[DPG21920]

Mavs announcer Bob has turned into a b*tch this year. He has upped his dumbassness to a new level.

[mavs>spurs]

their D has been solid as stone this season but it seems its time to trade some of it for some offensive power. dirk has been their only scoring option not only this season but all these seasons since fin gone. we'll in urgent need for a reliable scorer in dirks absence surely.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Thunder back up with the lead.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

And the lead is gone.

[MavDynasty]

Too bad Marion cant do this in the playoffs :cry

[DPG21920]

This team plays so much better without Dirk. Trade him.

[RoddyBukkake]

lol Marion cum slammin' hoes

[mavs>spurs]

This team plays so much better without Dirk. Trade him.

trade him for melo, that would be a slight upgrade in defense.

[RoddyBukkake]

lmao anjica

[DPG21920]

:lmao that maggot announcer, Bob.

"He can shoot. He really can"

GTFO douche

[Ghazi]

JET's been whack tonight

[Shank]

Who is this YH dipshit?

[Shank]

:lmao that maggot announcer, Bob.

"He can shoot. He really can"

GTFO douche

Ortegal > Unikidney.

[mavs>spurs]

mavs have no backup PF which has been scoped in dirk's absence.

[Shank]

Why does Haywood even look on the PnR follow? They're not going to throw it to his clumsy ass.

[DMC]

Thunder incredibly unimpressive. They look totally lost on offense.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This is one hell of a good game!

[Shank]

mavs have no backup PF which has been scoped in dirk's absence.

Maybe you've missed how Marion is playing tonight. Stop posting.

[DMC]

I think Harden is a Jesuit priest.

[CubanMustGo]

ESPN update on Dirk's injury:

http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nba/news/story?id=5961272

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Dallas Mavericks (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=dal) will likely be without star forward Dirk Nowitzki (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=609) for the second half of their Monday night game against the Oklahoma City Thunder (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=okc) because of a a sore right knee.

The team announced that his return is doubtful. Nowitzki left the game at the 9:10 mark of the second quarter after his momentum from a fallaway jumper caused him to stumble backward to the floor. He was fouled on the play, but it appeared that he tripped over his own foot, causing him to fall. How can someone who is such a klutz shoot the damn ball so well??

Nowitzki, who is averaging 24.5 points and 7.6 rebounds, had 13 points on 4-of-6 shooting when he exited the game. After he left, the Mavs scored just 14 points and were outscored by the Thunder 20-14 to go into halftime tied 56-56.


The Mavs play again Tuesday night at home against the Toronto Raptors (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=tor) and then on Thursday against Southwest Division rival San Antonio (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=sas).
Dallas is also without reserve forward Brian Cardinal (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=130) (stomach illness) in Oklahoma City, leaving it without a true power forward on the roster. Small forward Steve Novak (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3018) and fourth-string center Alexis Ajinca (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3410) are active.

[DMC]

head fake head fake head fake head fake head fake head fake head fake... head fake... foul

[RoddyBukkake]

4th quarter terry time

[mavs>spurs]

Maybe you've missed how Marion is playing tonight. Stop posting.

marion maybe a fine PF in hustle offense but theres no hell of way he works fine in half-court offense which the mavs play 9/10 of the time. same concern exists at the defensive end as well, if you assign marion to guard some beefy guy like milsap then you are fucked. your 2nd best PF on your squad is Brian Cardinal

[DMC]

The way the Thunder are playing, someone should demand Brooks give back the CotY trophy right now. He did win it, right?

No hell of way. shit bull this is.

[oh crap]

based on one game against the "great" mavericks in which they can still win??! for real??

[sefant77]

So Mavs are in OKC without Dirk, Roddy and Terry playing like ass and they lead in the 4th

Talking about overrated

[DMC]

Love it when pasty old white guys say "the rock" in reference to the ball.

[DMC]

Haywood you get the fuck off my back?

[mavs>spurs]

their low-post D would turn even more feeble with Marion in his place playing PF.

[DPG21920]

Ortegal > Unikidney.

:lol No. Ortegal is an old dipshit who sounds lost, is not funny and says stupid shit while getting butthurt.

[DMC]

These fuckers deserve to lose, heaving up prayers instead of driving the ball.

[Texas_Ranger]

OKC suck balls.

[RoddyBukkake]

terry should only see the court in the 4th imo

[sefant77]

another team with a "great" young pg not having any clue how to play against a zone

Who need BB IQ if you have athlecism these days...

[DPG21920]

Alexi hits a 3 where he was previously 0-2 for his career and old dick says:

"He can shoot, he really can." While acting like no one should be surprised when his sidekick is creaming himself over it.

[oh crap]

okc playing like shit out there but still in prime position to get back in this and win

[mavs>spurs]

im expecting to see cardinal/collison matchup

[mavs>spurs]

kidd looks on his way for another triple double imho.

[DPG21920]

OKC is not really playing poorly, but Dallas is really playing well.

[DPG21920]

Westbrook is playing terrible.

[oh crap]

what the fuck is with westbrook. okc deserves to lose this game, no doubt but i still hope they take the win away from those fuckers

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Meh, Mavericks win.

[sefant77]

haha chandler payback

[mavs>spurs]

game was tied by the half break IIRC, so they were basically playing against the mavs team that without their german allah the entire 2nd half. really a pathetic lose for OKC tbf

[BUMP]

:rollin at Chandler celebrating in Westbrook's face while he ws hurt

Stay down bitch :lol

[DPG21920]

Westbrook is booty lately. His jumpshot is a huge liability lately and he has turned into a bit of a chucker. He is making poor decisions and dominating the ball too much. That is why the offense has struggled and his assists are down.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

And Westbrook is out.

[sefant77]

And Westbrook is out.

thats an advantage for the thunder right now

[ChuckD]

What happened to Dirk?

[DMC]

I've felt like Westbrook has long been more interested in himself than in the team.

What a fuckfest.

[mystargtr34]

Mavs getting shit done with their D... :tu

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Motherfucker Terry does another clutch shot.

[sefant77]

haha crowd is butthurt

[Ghazi]

we staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacked

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

thats an advantage for the thunder right now
Indeed.

[DMC]

:rollin at Chandler celebrating in Westbrook's face while he ws hurt

Stay down bitch :lol
Your team is a classless group of fucks, which is why you have no hardware.

[mavs>spurs]

mavs win but no felicitation. i hope dirk will be just fine, otherwise it would be a pyrrhic win.

[RoddyBukkake]

crofl OKC just got 5 man cum slammed

[DPG21920]

Another great win in a season full of them for the Mavs.

[pking]

He was not celebrating in his face while he was hurt. Wtf.

[Roddy Beaubois]

lol Mavs playing like shit and still getting the W.
The Thunder looked turrible tbh.

[sefant77]

Its kind of sad basketball-wise to see how clueless a lot of teams and young "stars" are when they face a zone defense.

Westbrook was a perfect example tonight.

[mavs>spurs]

kidd only one board away to triple double :depressed:

[sefant77]

kidd only one board away to triple double :depressed:

pretty sure he gives a crap...

[Budkin]

Mavs are quite impressive. No denying it. Let's see how they are come playoff time though. We all remember 2006-07.

[Shank]

Hollinger is still not impressed.

[Shank]

Puzzle Quest fucking cheats.

[Mav-elous Man]

Your team is a classless group of fucks, which is why you have no hardware.


I guess fucking a teammate's wife and raping someone is classy, huh? :toast

[nkdlunch]

Thunder played the worst 4th quarter ball I have seen in years. That team is not going anywhere. IMO they need a big trade, too many ballers and not enough brains. I am disapointed in Durant, it's like he gave the reigns away to Westbrook. :pctoss

The mavs are great don't get me wrong, Chandler took charge and is having a career season. props.

[Phillip]

Thunder definitely showed their youth last night, while the Mavs showed their experience. Thunder rushed a lot of shots in the 4th, while the Mavs kept using the clock methodically.

[Mav-elous Man]

Thunder definitely showed their youth last night, while the Mavs showed their experience. Thunder rushed a lot of shots in the 4th, while the Mavs kept using the clock methodically.

their callowness will definitely count against them come playoffs and there will be a bigger concern in their bigs rotation imho. their starting C is just exact the same caliber as Joel Anthony tbqh. Ibaka is a good guy to use who has both size and strength but he's a sheer one-dimensional player, he would be a fine option to play off the bench while playing in the 1st unit he's no better than average imo.
