Mavs/Thunder Game 3 Sponsored by The Bounceback

[mavs>spurs]

Me and MD in attendance so you know we can't lose..final score mavs 103, thunder 95.

[Venti Quattro]

m>s, it's already Game 3. But yeah I think Dallas will win.

[mavs>spurs]

LOL typo my man

[irishock]

Dallas will win both home games because a lot of calls go their way at the AAC. It'll come down to a best of 3 and the Mavs will win if they can steal a road game.

[mavs>spurs]

I'm almost undefeated at mavericks games attended..somewhere in the ballpark of 12-1. Bringin out the heavy artillery.

[mavs>spurs]

Unfortunately I won't be able to get close enough seats to heckle Durant or you guys would most definitely see me on tv.

DO it then man. I'm tried of hearing about the Thunder. But I hate the Mavs too. MEH

[Brazil]

I think Dallas take this game, loose the second, upset OKC in game 5 and loose game 6

[z0sa]

must win game for Dallas obviously. I think they bring the heat both games at home just like @ OKC only they win this time and put the pressure back on OKC. Would still be quite surprised if this series doesn't go 7

[Robz4000]

Tbh Durant is due for a not-so-shitty game, so this may be tough. Mavs will find a way to win if they're true defending champs.

durant has been playing so shitty because marion owns his ass. even if he plays better, it will be offset by the fact he isn't going to shoot 16 ft's in dallas.

[hater]

good luck to the mavs. I want that series to go 7 games.

[MavDynasty]

I'm undefeated in mavs game besides a January loss to Utah in 2010 before the butler trade

We will have nose bleeds but it'll still be fun

[mavs>spurs]

even nosebleeds ain't so bad at AAC..not as bad as Reunion Arena was rofl

[DMC]

Going to be good. It's really hard to predict these games, they are so close.

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

Everyone's expecting the Mavs to tie this thing up (myself included), but I'm starting to think this could be like the Suns-Spurs series in 2008. The Suns blew 2 games they should've won on the road (at least Game 1, for sure) and everyone thought they'd stomp the Spurs the next 2 games, but Parker came out on fire in Game 3 and pretty much ended the series. KD hasn't shot well yet, and if he finds his rhythm this could be an 0-3 hole for Dallas.

IMO this reminds me more of our series vs Denver in 09. They beat us both times at home to jump out 2-0 (we hung around both games but they took over in the 4th). The Thunder/Nuggets both had/have better athletes than we do, and were able to get easier shots than we could. Denver came into Dallas and they weren't phased at all. It took us a hell of an effort just to avoid the sweep.

I think there's a better chance of us coming back in this series than the Denver one but it's gonna be tough

[Latarian Milton]

mavs ain't surrendering this soon imho game 3 is a LOCKED win for them mavs. No team ever come back from 0-3 and end up winning the series tbh :cry niggas must win this to keep hope alive

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Just another game along the pathway to the Nuggs-Mavs second round showdown, while the Thunder-Lakers are on a fishing trip.

[m>s]

^ although i never liked that denver team im rooting for them nugs this time, just hope they don't get swept by them lakers tbh

They're not going to be that's for sure.

[Bill_Brasky]

This. People gargle TC's balls all the time over helping dem Mavs get that ring, but Marion's work on LeBron in the Finals was just as crucial.

[mavs>spurs]

:lol rogue mimicking me

Tip off in 6 hours. M>s and I will be at the game in the nosebleeds. Can't wait tbh

[Spurs9]

Dallas wins tonight

[Darth_Pelican]

Here we go. It's do or die time for the defending champs.

[Venti Quattro]

Let's go Dallas.

[pass1st]

Looks like Durant is going to have a hot game, Mavfans ask godvine for Westbrick to have a terrible one

[shyne]

Thunder throwing their haymaker right out of the gates, I dont think Dallas can get up this time.

[Darth_Pelican]

Quick 9 point lead

[pass1st]

Mavs will be up at the half, but not by much. Game 2 all over again, imo

[spursfan1000]

my prediction is that mavs win in overtime by 2

[Koolaid_Man]

Me and MD in attendance so you know we can't lose..final score mavs 103, thunder 95.

So do you prefer Mayo or Mustard, Black or Green Olives, Crisco or Canola Oil, Vaseline or Ben Gay :lol

Lol terry

Mavs imploding

[NewcastleKEG]

you don't FUCK with jim

[BlackSwordsMan]

good to see dallas playing with some fire

[DeadlyDynasty]

an offensive foul followed by a goaltend and neither are called:lol

[Venti Quattro]

lol Dallas is screwed.

[NewcastleKEG]

Mavs imploding
Good move by the coach

[Shastafarian]

lol Dallas is screwed.

Whole league is screwed if OKC gets this kind of treatment on the road :lol

Tbh I think it's more of a widespread problem in giving driving players the benefit of the doubt. You see it with guys like Durant, Westbrick, Bron, Wade, etc. They drive and get a call when back in the golden years it was a "enter at your own risk". Makes basketball less fun to watch imo

[NewcastleKEG]

OKC timeout there is odd

[pass1st]

If it keeps going like this then Mavs are going to be swept

Which is why it's going to be Thunder vs Heat.

Teams that get the most calls

[Jodelo]

OKC has 3 more players, tough to win!

[BlackSwordsMan]

lol Dallas is screwed.

I just saw tron legacy its amazing how they make that bitch in your av look so young

[shyne]

So who y'all got thunder or heat in the finals? Stern wouldn't have it any other way would he?

[Mav-elous Man]

If it keeps going like this then Mavs are going to be swept


Agreed. Mavs gotta keep their heads and play smart.

[Shastafarian]

Which is why it's going to be Thunder vs Heat.

Teams that get the most calls

Not sure I'm that pessimistic about it, especially after seeing how bad the Heat can be. But it's a problem for sure. It's also a problem that they're not entirely consistent in their calls.

[Venti Quattro]

Olivia Wilde is a fine woman, son

[NewcastleKEG]

Holy shit that was an ugly possession

If Kidd isn't making the 3, why leave him on the court? Need penetration & speed on the court

[Shastafarian]

Olivia Wilde is a fine woman, son

Saw the movie Alpha Dog for some reason. Realized that reason near the end :tu

[BlackSwordsMan]

I agree only reason I saw 3-4 episodes of house just to see her. Don't know why they call her seven tbh jus saying she looked really young on tron iirc fwiw afiak

They call her 13 but her name there is Dr. Remy Hadley.

13 came about because she was candidate #13 when House was asked to build a new team.

[Shastafarian]

You know it's been rough when you get a standing o and gave up 32 points in the 1st quarter

[BlackSwordsMan]

They call her 13 but her name there is Dr. Remy Hadley.

oops

[Venti Quattro]

They've cut it to six points. That's worth a standing O

VC came to play today, huh.

[Darth_Pelican]

Mavs right back in it, they survived the hot shooting start.

[Shastafarian]

They've cut it to six points. That's worth a standing O

I agree. Hence "it's been rough".

Alpha dog is the movie where she has nudity, right? I don't exactly remember that movie anymore.

[Shastafarian]

Yeah. I saw it hoping either Timberlake or Emile Hirsch would get capped. Left disappointed in that regard.

If I were the Mavs I would abuse Fisher as long as he is guarding Delonte.

Abuse Fisher with anyone as long as he is on the court. Put him on the block, let him guard the faster players, etc.

[Mav-elous Man]

We just don't have the team to do it this year. Period. I've come to terms with this a long time ago.

[Black&Silver]

Don't look now, but this is about to be a sweep.

[Danny.Zhu]

Mavs sucks.

[DAF86]

That foul by West was dumb. The Thunder end up taking a better shot.

[Robz4000]

Tbh Durant is due for a not-so-shitty game, so this may be tough. Mavs will find a way to win if they're true defending champs.
8-10, 2-2 FTs, 21 points so far...

Time to step up Dallas

[Venti Quattro]

Can we all agree that the Mavs are lucky to be down 9?

[Robz4000]

Can we all agree that the Mavs are lucky to be down 9?
Agreed.

Mavs are lucky Westchuck is playing like shit

I swear, it's either Durant or Westbrook playing well, not both.

[Spur_Fanatic]

Hmm... I want a fresh team dealing with the Lakers... So I'll start rooting for OKC.

Mavs got this, they just toying with OKC right now.

[TDfan2007]

I swear, it's either Durant or Westbrook playing well, not both.

Agreed. It's due to a lack of chemistry. Both are chuckers, and neither has amazing court vision, but I put most of the blame on Westbrook. He needs to tone down the pull up Js and look to feed KD and the rest of his teammates more. No reason for him to be taking more than 16-20 shots a game unless Durant is just ICE cold.

[SpursIndonesia]

Come on Mavs, wake up you old fart SOBs !!! :ihit

[DeadlyDynasty]

Mavs look slow out the half

[TDfan2007]

OKC isn't getting good shots. I mean...they never really do, but this is getting ridiculous.

[TDfan2007]

c'mon Mavs. I want a competitive series!

[DeadlyDynasty]

this game's cooked

[Danny.Zhu]

c'mon Mavs. I want a competitive series!

I want a sweep so OKC can get some rest and kick Lakers' ass.

[Darth_Pelican]

Dallas has one more push in them, and they know their season is on the line in the next 18 minutes.

[TDfan2007]

:lol Westbrook telling me to STFU.

[TDfan2007]

Dirk is having a bad game. Horrible time for that to happen.

[pass1st]

Dirk should be shooting more, if anybody is going to save them it's a 7 foot shooting guard

[Darth_Pelican]

Come on Mavs, cut it to about 7 before the end of the 3rd and you have a chance

[TDfan2007]

Mavs refusing to die.

[TDfan2007]

lol Dirk gets so many phantom calls off the ball. It's ridiculous.

[pass1st]

If Mavs cut it to under 10 by the 4th, then I think they will get it

[T Park]

lol @ letting Vince Carter take weak jumper after weak jumper..

[T Park]

Derek Fisher looks scary good right now for OKC....

[Venti Quattro]

Up to 18. Mavs look as screwed as the Knicks right now.

What's up with that? These are the playoffs - are these teams so mismatched that it results in all these lopsided victories? Knicks are getting creamed every game, and now the Mavs tonight. Makes for a pretty boring playoffs.

[Crookshanks]

Oh my - the Mavs only have 60 points and it's the 4th quarter. Spurs usually have that by half time! :rollin

And people talk about the Spurs being boring. There have been some pretty low scoring games so far this playoffs. I guess all these teams are channeling the Spurs teams of old. :lol

[Jacob1983]

It was fun while it lasted. Best case scenario for the Mavs is to at least win game 4 so their fans don't have to see them get swept in the 1st round. Just a fuckin' shame that Mark Cuban did this shit. What the fuck was he thinking?

[crc21209]

I was sure the Mavs would win tonight, guess not. This series looks about over. Do the Mavs even want to win a game and force a Game 5, or would they rather go home already?

[Jacob1983]

With the way they're playing, I'd say a sweep is highly likely but don't they have enough pride to at least avoid a sweep so their fans don't have endure that shit?

[mavs>spurs]

some of you guys talking shit should actually watch an okc game in person..it's even more comical than on tv. now i hate to sound like the typical guy making excuses because his team lost, but okc really gets some unfair treatment. the officiating tonight was a disgrace..there is no way to justify it. now i know the mavs weren't going to repeat, we lost that opportunity when we let tyson walk. it's more about the integrity of the game and doing what's right, man i just don't want to see OKC win the championship. they are a completely 100% nba manufactured "contender." i guess they're the "young exciting team" and generate the league a lot of revenue.

[Venti Quattro]

the only player i can give props in this series is westbrook because he actually worked on his game and improved that midrange jumper of his which is now deadly

[mavs>spurs]

also, i previously thought of ibaka as n!ggerball player who just makes some flashy blocks and is more style than substance but he actually has a huge defensive impact on the games. literally no shot inside of 12 feet is safe with him in the game, he's like a super created player on nba live.
