Today: Suns @ Mavs, 2:30 PM Central, ABC

[boutons_]

Suns take their 9-game W streak in to AA Arena.

Can the Suns repeat the Lakers helpful gesture vs Pistons, and put the Spurs one L better than the Mavs?

[AZLouis]

Probably not. The Suns as well talked about now are "hurting" right now for help down low.

Tim Thomas isn't that answer, although his 20pt debut was impressive. Though he had no other stats.

The Suns struggled against the Magic in the last game and have yet to beat Dallas this season. The Suns improved "defense" has taken a back seat in the past month save for the Houston blowout before the break.

It's going to be a pretty good game, but I've got a feeling the Mavs are gonna take this one.

[Brutalis]

Go Suns. Beat the living shit out of the most crybaby team in America.

[1Parker1]

I think Mavs got this one.

[Old School Chic]

I think Mavs got this one.
:nope

Go Suns! :elephant

[leemajors]

should be an entertaining game! can't wait.

[Peter]

A Suns win today would move the Spurs into 2nd place for the league's best record. With one more game against the Mavs in SA on the schedule, that would be significant.

They're playing the Mavs, not the Heat.

[T.F. Storm]

I'm gonna say Suns win this one, just because.

[CubanMustGo]

Damn, do the Mavs ever hit the road again?

[thispego]

[Peter]

I thought the Mavs had more road than home games left.

[jochhejaam]

I thought the Mavs had more road than home games left.
14 Road and 10 Home after today.

[mavsfan1000]

Mavs are owning the suns right now 62-51. The suns have really improved their defense. :rolleyes

[pking]

March is full of road games for Dallas.


How are Mavs the most crybaby team? I'm not trying to start anything, just curious.

[infinite styles]

I didn't think that it would be possible for Tim Thomas' Defense to look any worse. Boy was I wrong.

[Kori Ellis]

Great job by Griffin and Marquis today (so far).

[SequSpur]

Is this an allstar game?

I haven't seen a legit defensive stop yet.

And Tiger Woods is kicking everyone's ass again.

[ShoogarBear]

Is this an allstar game?

I haven't seen a legit defensive stop yet.

And Tiger Woods is kicking everyone's ass again.There was bowling on ESPN earlier.

[mavsfan1000]

The suns are playing Diaw at center. That alone would force a high scoring game both ways.

[SequSpur]

There was bowling on ESPN earlier.

I was golfing at shitty ass Willow Springs.

[ShoogarBear]

I see Dirk still hasn't learned about the low post yet.

[ShoogarBear]

I was golfing at shitty ass Willow Springs.I hadn't watched bowling in like 20 years. Earl Anthony is still the all-time career winner? :lol

[SequSpur]

I hadn't watched bowling in like 20 years. Earl Anthony is still the all-time career winner? :lol

Didn't Walter Ray Williams pass him up?

[Peter]

Clearly the refs are giving this game to the Suns.

[FreshPrince22]

Boris Diaw makes that team extra scary this year. So many great passers and finishers on that team. With Amare.... Wow!

[yeahone]

the MAvs excuses in 3 2 1

[Willinsa]

It looks like Dallas home win streak might be over.

[Sec24Row7]

lol @ dallas

[SenorSpur]

Diaw with two FTs to put Suns up by six.

Mavs miss off the inbounds. Phx rebound with 11.0 secs.

This ones history

[N4th4n]

Mavs are owning the suns right now 62-51. The suns have really improved their defense. :rolleyes

bwahahahahahHAHA

Wow the mavs have totaly improved on defense

[ginobme]

Best record in the west!! :king

[timvp]

Game over.

Watching Nash beat Cuban and the Mavs is priceless.

[ShoogarBear]

Didn't Walter Ray Williams pass him up?Walter Ray would have tied him if he won today.

[SenorSpur]

Diaw has a "bleeping" amazing game.

24 pts. 10 rebs 11 assts

[Bruno]

Boris Diaw : 24pts, 10 ast, 10 rbds : 2nd triple double of the year.
Who have said "Diaw sucks" this summer ?

[Peter]

Time for Cuban to send another tape to the league.

[boutons_]

If PHX wins @NO/OKC tomorrow night, it will be on the Spurs Thurs to break PHX's 11-game streak.

Mavs got out-hustled and out-shot in the 4th qtr.

[yeahone]

yeah spurs have the best resord in the west

[ShoogarBear]

i wonder if cuban yelling and bitching at the grammysThat would be funny, because he's supposed to be going to the Oscars.

[SenorSpur]

Time for Cuban to send another tape to the league.

it's clear the officials wanted the Suns to win this one too.... :rolleyes

[timvp]

Maybe Cuban can get a player suspended.

[Peter]

Time to suspend Nash for being too good.

[Spurologist]

Cubie should ship away J Howard next

[SequSpur]

Dallas just got fucked by Joey Crawford.

:lol

:lmao

:flipoff Cuban

[infinite styles]

That would be funny, because he's supposed to be going to the Oscars.
:lol :lol :lol

[yeahone]

go suns haha mavs suckers

[Samr]

where is our buddy mavsfan?

Exile.

[coopdogg3]

I see Dirk still hasn't learned about the low post yet.

yeah no kidding. I thought after getting humiliated by Bowen Dirk would have at least tried to do something in the low post, boy was I wrong. I love the term Avery Johnson used to describe Dirk's game against SA, he "was out of position." Meaning he refuses to use his size in the paint against much smaller defenders. It's kinda sad really.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

Thats What I'm Talkin Bout, Phoenix! Down With Dallas!

[N4th4n]

Nice to see the improved mavricks defense get out scored by 16 in the 4th on their home court!

[Pistonfan1]

What a last few days it has been for the Mav fans and the Mavs players watching former Suns own them in the 4th. First it was Finley on Thursday then it was Nash today. The race for the #1 seed makes things interesting for the next month.

[Frenchise player]

Can't wait till thursday. Diaw vs Parker should be entertaining!

[SequSpur]

Dirk is a shooter.

Dallas is going through 3-4 centers every year to find the right mix, just like every other team not named Detroit, Miami and San Antonio.

Dirk is not going to change. Dude can shoot it... no need in changing that...

Their time will come, but not this year.

[coopdogg3]

If all Dirk can do is shoot, then he won't be nearly as effective as he could be. If he just developed a basic low-post game, say good enough to where he could beat a guy who is 6" shorter than he is, than Dirk would be a far more productive player. But hey, here's to hoping that never happens.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Good!! Maybe this will help deflate those overgrown Mav egos! Mavs getting a reality check :lmao

[reader]

Did not see the game, was it the Phoenix offense that in the 4th put them up or poor defense by the Mavericks? Did Phoenix show any D in the 4th?

[mavsfan1000]

Hey fuck you all. Dallas was missing 2 of their top 5 players. Also Dallas relies a ton on their bench to come through. Josh Howard is possibly Dallas's MVP this year. Even though Dirk scores the most Howard is the best overall player Dallas has. Congrats to the Suns and they will be a handful to any team in the playoffs but Dallas beat them the prior 2 times. Wow has the hate for the mavs escalated on this site.

Most of the hate has been because of you.

Also, Cuban is a piece of shit.

True, but the Suns were missing more than the Mavs and have been since before Dallas won those first two games.

It was a great game that Phoenix won. They made shots, made plays late and did enough. True, with Howard, Dallas likely wins this game, but if you're wishing for 100% health for both teams, then you're crazy. Amare and Thomas make Phoenix's frontcourt one of the best in the League to go along with arguably the best backcourt rotation in the League.

Are the suns not missing Amare and Kurt Tomas?

Amare the guy who owned dampier for like 40 points

Kurt Tomas the guy who ancors out post defense , the place were you scored a good deal of your points

Please , shut the hell up!

[mavsfan1000]

Yeah the suns could be the best team if they get completely healthy. I knew that from the start of the season. Unfortunately that didn't happen. The suns sure took advantage of the mavs with Diaw at center. I think having him instead of Thomas was a good thing in the mismatch favored the suns. Eddie House is cold blooded also.

[jochhejaam]

Mavs are owning the suns right now 62-51. The suns have really improved their defense. :rolleyes
Mavsfan1000, please allow me to remind you of the quote you posted in the Pistons/Lakers game thread from yesterday.


Quote=mavsfan1000 Well the Pistons are losing their credibility by performances like this. They better wake the fuck up.
Who's got the credibility problem now?

[mavsfan1000]

Well now that I think about it I will use my jinxing ability in my favor :lol

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Well now that I think about it I will use my jinxing ability in my favor :lol
the problem here is you've talked a lot of shit these last few days and now you can't take shit yourself? give us a break! You got OWNED TWICE in the span of 3 games, shut up and take it like a man

[mavsfan1000]

so every game in the regular season the mavs lose I should take it like a man? I don't know how to deal with that. All the stress on losing one regular season game. I guess the mavs should've gone 82-0 so I won't have to deal with it.

well, it doesn't seem like you're dealing with it in this post now does it?

[mavsfan1000]

Hey I was pissed at all the taunting that was going on 1 regular season game. I'm just glad Dallas doesn't have to face the the Suns till the WCF because the matchups are terrible for Dallas. Dirk gets owned by Marion all the time and Dallas's weakness on offense is center. That means the mismatch of Diaw on Dampier favors Diaw big time.

[Parkersgirl9]

Well both Dallas and Phoenix, have bigger problems to worry about. Like my Spurs.

[Joepa]

What a great weekend.

[ducks]

mavs lossing and pistons lossing good weekend
now suns will also lose thursday

[mavsfan1000]

I fucking hated this weekend. Kill me now. :lol
