Grizzlies @ Mavs

[Axe Murderer]

Anybody watching?

Tied at 91 with 5 minutes left

[Nick Manning]

Wasn't Dallas winning by 17 earlier? wtf happened

[Axe Murderer]

idk just turned it on

tbh, i really like this Memphis team. They'll definitely be in the playoffs and be a very annoying team to face

[MavDynasty]

big Sam Young fan, tbh

[Axe Murderer]

It's hilarious how Marc is pretty much the anti-Pau. Very physical, borderline dirty. He's like a bigger, more offensively skilled version of Varejao imho

[InRareForm]

Goodgame. tuning in.

[jjktkk]

Memphis has a big, tough, front line. Imagine if they had Gay right now.

[Booharv]

He's regressed a tiny bit this year, particularly on the boards.

Beaubois with 15 points in 14 minutes. 28 in his last 29 minutes played. :wow

[mikeschy55]

Roddy scores 15 pts in 14 minutes, the game starts to get ugly and Rick immediately turns to JET and benches Roddy after 3 minutes in the 2nd half. ..... just like last game (13pts in 13 minutes and pulled after 3 minutes into the 2nd because we start off slow). This is starting to get really frustrating. Rick hasn't learned anything..... I suspect management is forcing him to play him, how thick is he? He's CLEARLY a far superior player to Jet..... i just don't understand why he can't place an ounce of trust in the kid.

[Nick Manning]

Memphis had 41 points in the 3rd....sheeeet

[ace3g]

Battier!!!

[Axe Murderer]

Dirk puts em back up by 1 :clap:clap:clap

3 seconds left, 20 sec timeout

[badfish22]

Beaubois with 15 points in 14 minutes. 28 in his last 29 minutes played. :wow

Fucking carisle...

[DPG21920]

Dirk is amazing. They win so many close games.

[badfish22]

Dirk delivers

[Nick Manning]

dirk diggler

[MavDynasty]

dirk bringin the goods

[DPG21920]

He is just a jump shooting extraordinaire.

[jjktkk]

Mav fans, how has Brewer looked so far, since the trade?

[DPG21920]

Randolph with the goods.

[Axe Murderer]

gotta be fucking kidding me :bang

[Dirk´s tounge]

No
fucking
way

[DPG21920]

He really has had probably his best year as a player.

[Nick Manning]

crofl

[Mal]

Z-bo !!!

[ace3g]

[Budkin]

Streak over.

What a great day for the Lakers!

Down goes the Heat
Down goes the Spurs
Down goes the Mavs

Boston losing

WOW

[Ghazi]

fluke loss

[ogait]

Oh my z bo with the rainbow

[DPG21920]

Mavs are not contenders. Contenders pick up ground when they have a chance.

[badfish22]

holy fuck...

[Mal]

Thank you Memphis

[Budkin]

At least the Mavs didn't gain any more ground on us.

[Ditty]

fluke loss

chupa mela

[Axe Murderer]

Randolph misses that shot 9 out of 10 times

[ace3g]

+1

spurs reallly knew this was going to happen

non issue mavs
:lmao

[thispego]

lololololololololol

[Pelicans78]

Wow. Crazy shot by Randolph.

[MavDynasty]

lol choking 17 pt leads

lol roddy 15 points in 14 min and not playin him

[sribb43]

Grizz will sweep the Mavs 2-0 if they meet in the playoffs

[Nick Manning]

If Spur fans were smart they would be upset by this...don't you want Dallas to have HCA against LA? SA sure as shit ain't gonna beat the Lakers

[Crookshanks]

Thank you Memphis

:toast Griz did us a BIG favor!

[Ditty]

If Spur fans were smart they would be upset by this...don't you want Dallas to have HCA against LA? SA sure as shit ain't gonna beat the Lakers
:lol

2-1

[benefactor]

Thank you Memphis
:tu

[silverblk mystix]

allas chokericks come through again...

spurs not losing any ground today...

[badfish22]

fluke loss

whats our record with dirk/chandler again :danceclub

[Giuseppe]

Matzel, matzel. In the space of a minute Suns lose & Mavs lose.

Outstanding!

[Axe Murderer]

crofl does Spurfan really think that the Mavs have a shot to catch them?

lol insecure

[Budkin]

If Spur fans were smart they would be upset by this...don't you want Dallas to have HCA against LA? SA sure as shit ain't gonna beat the Lakers

Both are going to be tough outs... doesn't really matter.

[Nick Manning]

:lol

2-1

scro best of luck to the spurs but they're gonna need Dallas to do their dirty work. it is what it is

[LnGrrrR]

Awesome clutch shots by both teams at the end.

[Budkin]

crofl does Spurfan really think that the Mavs have a shot to catch them?

lol insecure

If we play like we did today they do.

[Mal]

If Spur fans were smart they would be upset by this...don't you want Dallas to have HCA against LA? SA sure as shit ain't gonna beat the Lakers

First of all is that Spurs must secure #1 spot. Then we can have Mavs and Lakers to kill themselves in WCSF.

[Ditty]

don't want too take no chances brah when you have a classy orginazation, and the most classiest fans in the league :cry

[Nick Manning]

Spurs would have to have an epic collapse to lose the #1 seed. Only way DAL and LA kill each other is if the Mavs have HCA. Otherwise you could be looking at Lakers in 5

[Zelophehad]

One game ahead of the Lakers now...

[Ditty]

scro best of luck to the spurs but they're gonna need Dallas to do their dirty work. it is what it is

that's fine with me brah

we're too classy to face the lakers or mavs

[Seventyniner]

I think that makes the Spurs' magic number to clinch #1 in the West 16.

[Phillip]

very annoying loss, but its not the end of the world

1. Brewer definitely needs to start. Peja is fucking worthless if his shot isnt falling. Brewer at least contributes without needing shots, and if they fall, thats just a bonus.

2. Dirk only played like 33 minutes, while the Grizzlies were playing their starters for massive minutes, logging well over 40 for Randolph. Plus, no Chandler. In the playoffs, this kind of shit wouldn't happen. Memphis isn't as much of a concern as some Mavs fans think. Not to mention how many bullshit offensive rebounds just happened to bounce right into their hands.

3. Why the FUCK is Roddy only getting 14 minutes, especially if he is scoring 15 points in that small amount of time, and doing so efficiently? Granted, Terry was playing well, but perhaps its not Terry that needs to be benched in favor of Roddy in this instance, but Kidd. Just because he is the high BBIQ vet, doesnt mean that if he is playing like dogshit, he doesnt deserve a benching. They would have been better off playing Terry at the 1, and Roddy at the 2, to match the energy and athleticism that Memphis brings.

[Mal]

Spurs would have to have an epic collapse to lose the #1 seed. Only way DAL and LA kill each other is if the Mavs have HCA. Otherwise you could be looking at Lakers in 5

They are playing each other on Saturday. This game will tell us something more about theirs matchups.

[DPG21920]

Spurs would have to have an epic collapse to lose the #1 seed. Only way DAL and LA kill each other is if the Mavs have HCA. Otherwise you could be looking at Lakers in 5

If that is true, then the Mavs have no chance. Period. Stupid logic.

[Axe Murderer]

If we play like we did today they do.

Not a chance.

I haven't even pondered any sort of chance that the Mavs will get the #1 seed. I've already accepted the #2 spot for awhile.

If the Mavs were to go 20-0, San Antonio would have to go 13-6 for there to even be a tie.

[Mal]

I think that makes the Spurs' magic number to clinch #1 in the West 16.

Lakers or Mavs aint winning everything till end, so this numer is a little less.

[Zelophehad]

Brewer is fucking worthless. He's one of the worst offensive players in the league and he's not even a stopper, just an above average defender. Luckily Carlisle will have him and Barea to go to off the bench in the playoffs; that way we can go 4 on 5 on both ends of the court.

:rolleyes

2nd game in, yes that means he is fucking worthless, when he was known as being a tenacious defender in fucking Minny with no interior presence.

dude gave some decent minutes tonight, and shows an ability to actually affect a game without needing shots, unlike Peja.

[Nick Manning]

If that is true, then the Mavs have no chance. Period. Stupid logic.

It's quite logical. Dallas never wins in LA and the Lakers have won a road playoff game in every series the last 3 years (outside of the 2008 finals).

Even if Dallas had the HCA against LA they'd still be dogs in Vegas...not having HCA makes it a near-impossible task.

[Axe Murderer]

agreed. very overated signing. he aint no Adrian Griffin

.....and now we have the dumb opinion.

I am certainly by no means suggesting suicide or anything of the sort, but the thought of swiftly ending your life should strongly be considered/entertained/contemplated in the very near future.

[Kyle Orton]

Tbh Mavfan should really wait to judge Brewer to TC comes back. He has all the physical tools to be a shutdown defender.

or at least give him more than 2 fucking games like some dumbshits here. he gave some decent minutes tonight.

also, I just dont get why Kidd keeps getting a free pass by Carlisle. There is only one guy on the team who EVER deserves a free pass for a shit night, and thats Dirk. Kidd played like ass, and should have been benched in favor of Roddy who had the hot hand. Generally, Kidd really isnt going to play like this, but he isnt so good anymore that he deserves a pass.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Bogans always got a free pass from Pop. Certain coach are just obsessed with veterans no matter what. Young guys just don't get the trust that a vet brings.

I'm also surprised Roddy isn't getting big minutes, but I have feeling by April he will be seeing significant time.

And what gives you that indication? His treatment of him last year? Or Rick's non-existent record of developing young talent when he had the chance (i.e prince, granger)? I wouldn't count on it..... I'm not, some coaches just love their vets, as you say. Rick's one of those coaches unfortunately....

[DPG21920]

Having HC is not the difference in the Mavs only winning one game. If it is that big of a difference, Mavs already have 0 chance. 0.

[DPG21920]

BTW, how is Dirk so good. He does what everyone always says leads to nothing, which is settle for jumpers. There is literally nothing else. Yet he continues to scorch. This is also without another legit threat that you have to really worry about.

[Pelicans78]

Mavs would be alot better off with HCA, but all it takes is one home loss to change a series. They're gonna have to defend very well and hope Dirk and Terry consistently score.

I hear you, it would be a shame if Roddy doesn't get the minutes he deserves. Dallas's front office obviously thinks highly of him.

He definitely shoots a million jumpers everyday in the offseason. Guy can shoot with any hand in his face. Its amazing.

[oh crap]

what a shot!

tbh THAT trigga Nick Manning was originally saying that HCA for Dallas is the only way the Lakers and Mavs will "beat each other up" (if I remember correctly). I'm not sure if he said anything about Dallas beating LA.

[DPG21920]

I know. I'm saying that if they were going to actually beat each other up, HCA has nothing to do with it. I'm saying that if the Mavs want to literally beat LA, they might need HCA, but not to make it a series like he was saying.

[Kyle Orton]

I know. I'm saying that if they were going to actually beat each other up, HCA has nothing to do with it. I'm saying that if the Mavs want to literally beat LA, they might need HCA, but not to make it a series like he was saying.

Tbh what he said makes sense to me but I see your point. IMO, I consider anything that goes 6 or 7 games "a series" (but other opinions might vary). If Dallas has HCA, that means they'd have to lose 2/3 home games for LA to end it in 5 or sweep, while if LA has HCA they only need to steal game 3 or 4 to close it out in 5.

[Nick Manning]

I know. I'm saying that if they were going to actually beat each other up, HCA has nothing to do with it. I'm saying that if the Mavs want to literally beat LA, they might need HCA, but not to make it a series like he was saying.

It'd be hard to give them a series if they were w/o HCA...especially given their troubles at Staples. Dallas could give them a real scare (and might even win if things bounced right) if they have HCA

[DPG21920]

No team that is good enough to "truly match up with LA" like Mav fan is spewing would only win 1 game against them. Regardless of HCA.

If the Mavs are true contenders like some think, it goes 6 or 7 regardless.

[Kyle Orton]

That's a different argument for another place. I'm not sure if Nick Manning is trying to argue the Mavs are a true contender (I know I'm not).

Mavs aren't getting out of the first round so it's irrelevant.

[Nick Manning]

If Roddy was given significant minutes then I would consider them a legit threat in the West, tbh.

Two part question for you my nigga: Do you think the Lakers are legit contenders? Spurs? Do you think the Mavs can beat LA or SA in the playoffs?

[Nick Manning]

Mavs aren't getting out of the first round so it's irrelevant.

TC was out and Roddy played 14 minutes...take the gun outta your mouth

[DPG21920]

If Roddy was given significant minutes then I would consider them a legit threat in the West, tbh.

I think they are a legit "threat", regardless, meaning Dirk is so good that he can win a series by himself. They lack talent though and their margin for error is NIL.



Two part question for you my nigga: Do you think the Lakers are legit contenders? Spurs? Do you think the Mavs can beat LA or SA in the playoffs?

Of course LA is a legit contender. They are the favorites. Spurs are clearly a legit contender. Their record may be a inflated, but they have balance and top tier talent. They do many things well.

I don't think the Mavs can beat the Lakers or Spurs, but I do think they can give both of them a difficult series meaning it goes at least 6 games.

[sribb43]

TC was out and Roddy played 14 minutes...take the gun outta your mouth

Mavs D has been shit with TC as of late and Grizz best player sat this one out

[Nick Manning]

ok nm, put the gun back in

[badfish22]

If (when) Barea plays another minute at SG all year Carlisle deserves to die.

[TampaDude]

Thanks, Memphis! :D

[Jt.ONE]

lost by 1 point. =[

[Zelophehad]

Tbh Mavfan should really wait to judge Brewer to TC comes back. He has all the physical tools to be a shutdown defender.

tbh I'm judging Brewer based on what I've seen of him over the years and based on looking at his stats, regular and advanced. This has nothing to do with yesterday's game. I said he sucked when Minnesota cut him several times on here. Last year he had a stretch where hit threes in like 34 straight games and ended up with a semi-decent percentage (34%) but now he's gone back to sucking making him worthless on anything but a fast break. Really he hasn't been able to shoot except for a fluky second half last year. Also retards say you can just teach a guy to shoot like its that easy, so I want to head that retort off in advance. There was a study a while back on one of these advanced basketball sites and it showed by and large thats bullshit. Shooting is a skill for the most part. On rare occasions guys can become decent if they suck, but the majority of the time if they suck, they suck.

[Zelophehad]

:rolleyes

2nd game in, yes that means he is fucking worthless
rofl the guy has sucked for years. Years.


when he was known as being a tenacious defender in fucking Minny with no interior presence.

This is utter bs. He's known for being above average. In no universe real or imagined is he known as some kind of elite stopper or "tenacious defender". His ceiling is basically a rich man's Keith Bogans, without the three pointers.

[clambake]

Mavs aren't getting out of the first round so it's irrelevant.

i'm thinking you're right. i'm sure it's already in their head.

[sribb43]

Another 1st round exit and the AAC will be a ghost town next year

[stretch]

Another 1st round exit and the AAC will be a ghost town next year

not happening

[Chillen]

The Mavs team handled that well, it was just an amazing shot by Randolph. They walked off the court looking ready for the next game, Dirk hit a great shot there but Memphis had the last laugh this game.
