The Dallas Mavericks v. Memphis Grizzlies

[Dunc]

Anybody else think the Mavs are primed for a fall here? Those Grizzlies are fucking tough as hell.

[BigVee]

grizzlies seem to always let you down when you need them

I see how that's true from your perspective... they should have beaten us twice this year only to drop it very late.

[midgetonadonkey]

It will be a good one to watch tonight. I'm also looking forward to the Pacers-Pistons game.

[mrose31]

I hope Dallas does lose this game because If I remember correctly their schedule is pretty easy next few weeks.

[cheguevara]

yeah those easy spurs coming up next thursday I think

[Dunc]

It will be a good one to watch tonight. I'm also looking forward to the Pacers-Pistons game.

Anybody else find Jermaine O'neal's comments about the Pistons to be odd? Nothing against the Pacers, but I dunno how you can hope to have the Pistons in the first round. As my dad used to say, he's cruisin' for a bruisin'.

It's dirt simple. If they beat the Pistons then good for them. And if they lose, then it's that much better to lose in the first round as it leaves more time for fishing.

[SoCalSpursFan]

Grizz or Indiana wins tonight, and Kobe goes for 50+

Book It!

Valid point. If you've gotta lose, get it over with early. Why not just miss the playoffs entirely? For what it's worth, I hope Jermaine's dream comes true :lol

[mavsfan1000]

I think this will be a tough game since Pau will be rejuvenated after the all-star break. I think the mavs win this game 94-89.

[himat]

I want the pistons to have a very comfortable lead again over spurs, and mavs. memphis isn't as good as they were earlier in the season though.

[SoCalSpursFan]

Memphis up 7.

I smell upset.

*ignores the fact that it is still the 1st quarter*

[Leetonidas]

I can easily see Memphis winning.

[boutons_]

Dallas several times trailed for most of the game this season and then pulled it out in the 4th.
Mavs finish much better than the Grizz.

[Dunc]

45-31 Grizz. 46-41 Pistons. Things are good in Piston-land :D

[Leetonidas]

Let's go Grizzlies! Chucky Atkins owns! :lol

[boutons_]

Grizz extremely hot shooting 61%, but Mavs had a very hot 2nd qtr and now at 50%.

The Grizz will cool off and lose.

[Dunc]

Somebody wanna tell me why Diop is starting over Dampier? 11 min at half, 1-2, 3 PF. No rebounds.

[Leetonidas]

For shot blocking I guess. Dampier is a douche bag.

[Kori Ellis]

Is Josh Howard injured? (I'm not watching it)

[ro_50]

I just turned it on and they said he's not returning to tonight's game. I didnt see it go down.

[Dunc]

61-58 Mavs. Mad props if they can pull this one out. Btw, Pistons up 67-59 after 3. Ben Wallace has absolutely gone off. 11 pts in the 3rd alone, lol.

[boutons_]

Mavs 14 -2 in 3rd qtr, now lead 61 - 58.

[Dunc]

For shot blocking I guess. Dampier is a douche bag.

True. 3 blocks for Diop.

[Pandaemonaeon]

What the hell happened? I left to go to class with Memphis leading by 20 something points only to return (country's declared on State of Emergency) and I see the Mavs up by 2?

[boutons_]

what I said above.

[Dunc]

I know you guys hate Mason (Pistons PA guy), but how can you hate any PA more than that dumbfuck for the Mavs? He's a fucking cheerleader with an expensive public address system. That's retarded. That's Cuban :D

[infinite styles]

WTH is up with Memphis they give up leads more than anybody since the Spurs during the 2000-2002 seasons.

[Duncanfan]

Shit.. the mavs pulled out this win with an injured Josh Howard.
He only played 19 mins then sprained his ankle.
Grizz will be worn out against the Spurs tomorrow.
For whatever it's worth.. thanks Mavs! hehehe

[ABDENOUR POWER]

The mavs need to stop winning so much. Its getting annoying. :lol

[mavsfan1000]

At least no one made any comments about the poor mavs defense. :lol. They totally shutout Memphis in the 4th quarter.

[Dunc]

Nice comeback. Quite disappointing.

[Dunc]

Yeah. Outscored them 16-11. What do the Grizz average on offense? 89? Oh yes, and on a team 10-deep, why does Dirk play 39 min and Terry play 38? They should easily be playing stackhouse 30+ (he's on my fantasy team :)) too, right?

[Pandaemonaeon]

I know you guys hate Mason (Pistons PA guy), but how can you hate any PA more than that dumbfuck for the Mavs?

He's more boring than annoying. I love the Grizzlies' PA better.

POWWWWWWW GAAAA-SOL

Anyway, Memphis: 1st quarter - 31 points; 2nd half total - 31 points :smokin

[Ozzman]

HAHAHAHAHA


I honestly thought the Mavs would lose.

[ptp39]

what happened was defense showed up 30% shooting in the 2nd half and the mavs just kept playing their game. Like I posted these are not the same mavs that you guys want to bash. I seriously hope that the spurs take the same opinion that this forum takes when they play.

[ptp39]

wtf is the vbookie thing????????

[Dunc]

wtf is the vbookie thing????????

I don't know. But send me your V$$ :D

[Kori Ellis]

wtf is the vbookie thing????????

Everybody starts out with $500. Everyday, I put some bets up about games, etc. (It can be like regular bets, who's going to win, or stuff like who will score the last basket, etc). You bet and win or lose money. If you lose all your money, you'll get another $25 and start again. It's just for fun - obviously not real money.

[spurs=bling]

wtf is the vbookie thing????????


vBookie is a SpursTalk.com feature that allows members to make bets on any number of events. From basketball to politics, there will be wagers on it all. Though the money might not be real, the bragging rights sure are.

[ptp39]

I'm cool with that then let me go on record that the next game between the mavs and spurs we win by 10. I just ryhmed does that count for double???????

[Mavtek]

Well the Spurs luck out, Howard is down likely with a sprain and will probably miss a week or 2. That sux! Why can't we face top tier teams with a healthy roster? Oh well still 7-1.

Damn that sucks.

Hopefully he's a fast healer. I want the teams to meet a full strength.

[Leetonidas]

We wouldn't be at full strength either way, but I do want Howard to play.

[mavsfan1000]

Dallas is never healthy when they play the spurs. It is such bad luck.

[Kori Ellis]

The Spurs are as close as their going to get to healthy. Duncan was looking spry the other night. He's not going to get much healthier during this season.

[queeniesuck]

Haha ... the Mavs win. Grizzlies are tough, but the Mavs are tougher than them. We keep fighting eventhough we're down by 19. The Mavs will be the champion this year.

You say "we".... are you a Mavs fan? Cuz it says your fav team is the Spurs.....

[queeniesuck]

I'm a mavs fan, I'll change my profile

[pking]

I was at the game tonight.. the energy there was great, man. Memphis is tough...It was a good game.

How bad did Howard's ankle injury look? Did he roll it all the way over?

[midgetonadonkey]

I heard this same shit in 2003.

[pking]

I actually missed when it happened...I think everybody did. Here comes Josh limpin down the court and you could hear everybody freak out lol Definently don't want to lose Josh. On the replay they showed on the screen...it looked bad but not horrible...definently didnt look as bad as his sprain earlier in the year when he stepped on Devin's foot...But he went in the tunnel right next to me and daaamn he was in some pain, you could tell.

Someone said that he could be out a couple weeks. I'm assuming that's pure speculation as he probably won't have an MRI until morning. Anyway, I hope he doesn't miss much time.

[pking]

Yea, me neither. This whole top half of Texas is hoping the same. :lol


I want to see another replay. He did come back in the 2nd quarter and tried to play some more. I can't imagine that it was all THAT drastic if he came back in the game.

We'll find out soon enough I guess.

"Why can't we face top tier teams with a healthy roster"

Why can't the Spurs have a healthy Duncan for a full season, esp in the playoffs?

Mavs are lucky Tim is struggling along at 50%.

[queeniesuck]

Injury is part of the game. The Mavs lost to the Spurs too because Ginobili injured Dirk knee in 2003 Western Conference Final playoff. And we also have our share of injuries too this season with Stack, Marqueis, Keith Van Horn, Josh, etc.

[Pandaemonaeon]

There's no way Dallas was going to beat the Spurs in 2003 even when Dirk was around. We could probably make it a little interesting (just like any other all-offense team) but eventually our luck would've ran out. This year we have a much better roster and a much more realistic shot.

I agree totally man. The mavs team was of 03 was a soft in the front court. Duncan could have his way with them. With Bradley, Lafrentz, Dirk, and Najera in the frontcourt maybe Najera could've done decent but the others would get abused by Duncan.

[Pandaemonaeon]

Duncan was having a Wilt Chamberlain-type playoff performance (to differentiate from his MVP-caliber seasons - something that's normal for him) during that year too, so I thought Najera's spunk and effort was commendable. I mean he managed to piss off Timmy and squeeze out an emotional response! That's got to be worth a king's ransom at EBay!
