_so much for a championship_

[Dre_7]

mouse, I guess you can stop with the Mighty Might Mavs Championship talk, Hell you can't even get past the Bucks WITHOUT REDD! , and yet you want to be the 2006 NBA Champions?

Face it! This team is nowhere near Playoff material. So before you talk bad about the San Antonio Spurs look at your own team, It's in very serious trouble.

[Bloodline666]

Let's not forget that the Mavs cut Doug Christie for what appears to be a career-threatening injury, too. And I believe he was signed for defense.

[MI21]

If Bogut can stop fouling and stay on the court for 35MPG, he gon' be good :D

[boutons]

"This team is nowhere near Playoff material"

Neither are the November Spurs.

Before you talk bad about the Mavs, let's see how Thur's game turn out.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

dont underestimate the bucks :fro

and dont underestimate the loss of josh howard :fro

dont underestimate the effect of a back to back with a close first game :fro

but DONT overestimate Dirk anymore, he got OWNED by an aussie rookie :smokin

:elephant

[mavsfan1000]

Reasons for the mavs struggles.
1. Dirk is in a shooting slump
2. Howard is hurt
3. 4th game in 5 nights
4. The bucks took this game like it was a playoff game.
5. The refs did not give the mavs the fair shake tonight. All these things going against Dallas a loss is not a surprise.

Despite the Spurs slowish start in terms of the way they are playing, they are still 1st in the West with a very good 11-3 record.

I guess 3-11 would be playoff material if you think 11-3 isn't?

1. Dirk is in a shooting slump


wow, so are mavs fans like Dirk? not giving peopl credit where credit is due

he got outplayed , simple.......shooting slump = cant handle the defense

[Looter]

themanrules got mouse banned from this forum, But if he was here I am sure he would ask "Don't you want to beat the Mavs this season, before you start talking about championships?"

[Solid D]

Devin Harris appeared to have left TJ Ford wide open on that last 3 tonight on the replay.

Bogut had a sweet block on Terry at the end though, broken nose and all.

[Dre_7]

:lmao I cant believe anyone here actually thought I was serious. It was a parody of this thread: http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29040&page=1

Reason for the Mavs loss:

1. Not the better team on this night.

Now go get ready for the other 68 games still left to play in a long season.

yeh, doing us aussies proud....

[Solid D]

Dre, you can be spot-on with that take if whether you are being serious or not being serious. It's all good. :smokin

Meanwhile Looter is out getting liquid courage at five-finger discount for mouse and fire water for Tonto.

[Looter]

Maverick fans don't mind losing to other teams, as long as they kick the Spurs ass each time they meet, I would be very worried about Thursday's game if I was Spurs fan.

When dirk is on there is nothing the defender can do to slow him down. He misses shots he usually makes.

oh thats right, i 4got that when dirk is 'off' it has nothing to do with the opposing defense........silly me

i guess Kobe is just 'off' when he plays the Spurs and its never Bowen's defense that puts him 'off' :rolleyes

[Larry Dallas]

:lmao

It also depends on how much the refs allow defenders bang up Dirk during the game. He doesn't get the superstar treatment that he deserves.

Lovely Excuses.

yeah 5 of 22 attemps is unacceptable. thank God Tim only had 7 or more attemps tonight, made 18 :lol


2. Howard is hurt
Howard WHO? is he a Kobe Bryant or A Dwyne Wade or a LeBron? No jokes pls.


3. 4th game in 5 nights
Spurs had a the best road record in 2003 playing back-to-back games.
Won in double OT in 2005 yr vs. LA Clippers-i think it was back-to back too!
2003
BTW, 2003 & 2005 the yr the Spurs won championships. Coincedence. Feel the pressure!


4. The bucks took this game like it was a playoff game.
ohh, the Mavs's beloved coach AJ ONLY take games vs. Spurs seriously like it's a playoff game? Come on..


5. The refs did not give the mavs the fair shake tonight. All these things going against Dallas a loss is not a surpriseadmit it the reason was this : BUGOT :lmao

:blah :blah :blah

Yeah, those lousy refs are giving the breaks to rookies over all-stars every chance they get. :rolleyes

So Dirk had a lousy game tonight, and the Bucks were the better team for the night. Last Friday, the Spurs got outrebounded and outshot by the Bulls and lost that one. Sometimes you just get beaten -- it's a long season, and it happens.

Making excuses and blaming the refs are for teams that aren't good enough to win on their own. If you're the Hornets, you need every break you can get, and you understandably get pissed when you don't get them. If the Mavs are really ready to make a run deep into the playoffs again, then they're responsible for dealing with whatever happens and making their own luck. On the nights when they don't, suck it up and take it like a man.

[Leetonidas]

Did anyone else see Dirk trying to act Mr. Big Shit by yelling at Devin Harris?

[leemajors]

you have to drive to the rim to get foul calls. you can't expect foul calls shooting jump shots.

[milkyway21]

Did anyone else see Dirk trying to act Mr. Big Shit by yelling at Devin Harris?really!


has Tim Duncan yelled at Manu or Tony before? Esp when he keeps missing all those shots?

[Obstructed_View]

Dirk took 2 shots inside the paint, yet he still went to the line 7 times.

Taunting the Mavs when Josh Howard is out is ridiculous.

You better hope the Spurs win on Thursday or this thread is going to look incredibly stupid.

[Solid D]

The question is...how soon will Howard be back? He twisted that thing pretty badly.

[mavsfan1000]

I hear it is 3 weeks.
