Mavs Fixing to win again!!

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Down by 8 at halftime but they are coming back! Just an early hangover loss to the Lakers. Be prepared to be amazed at the poise and heart of this team!

Hope you're right but not that optimistic. Utah will be a tough team to overcome in their building. Especially the way the Mavs are playing.

[Leetonidas]

Do you always have to do this?

Well its in the NBA forum and there has yet to be a game thread on the best team in the league for tonights game. :spin

Well why didn't you just make a thread at the beginning of the game? It just seems like you always make this kind of topic if the Mavs are losing at the half.

[Crookshanks]

Well, the Mavs are down by 5 right now - but that's nothing. C'mon Jazz!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I hope the Spurs can learn from this UTA-DAL game, even if dallas goes on to win

[theroc5]

i hate the jazz and the mavs but mavs have more wins so GO JAZZ

[FlyHigh07]

i hate the jazz and the mavs but mavs have more wins so GO JAZZ

Yeaaa boiiiiii.

[mabber]

Avery will have those boys practicing their zone defense on Thursday-lol You can tell the Mavs haven't played much zone defense lately as they have really sucked at it tonight.

[slayermin]

I hope the Spurs can learn from this UTA-DAL game, even if dallas goes on to win

Yeah, AK47 is an awesome three. Wish we had someone like him.

Mavs win. Hell yeah. Not an easy win in Utah. The mavs came out 2-1 on this tough road trip.

[FlyHigh07]

You all just keep celebrating.

[dirk4mvp]

You all just keep celebrating.


We will. Anything to celebrate about regarding the bulls?

[timvp]

Got some nice bail out calls there at the end. The Mavs winning from the free throw line?

That's a first.

[timvp]

Mav Fan is so sensitive it's amazing. Dirk got bailed out after a flop when Boozer stripped him. Devin Harris got to the line when there was minimal body contact.

I'm the one that said the Spurs got the upperhand in the calls in the Mavs contest. But for these Mavs fans who started watching basketball in 2004, they can't admit when they win games from the free throw line.

the jazz org have some fucked up names they use...they call Giricek "Gira" pronounced "gear-uh" and they have some commentator named "Booner"

Answer the question please.

[timvp]

I watched most of the second half.

Are you telling me the game wasn't won at the line? Did you watch it?

[FlyHigh07]

We will. Anything to celebrate about regarding the bulls?

Sure is. Why fucking not.

[ponky]

I watched most of the second half.

Are you telling me the game wasn't won at the line? Did you watch it?

Of course I watched it, I watch ALL the games. Anyway, watch the first half and get back to me. I suspected by your first comment that you hadn't watched the entire game, no need to discuss the officiating if you haven't even watched a game in its entirety. Just because a team gets a more calls in the fourth doesn't mean that they didn't get raped the rest of the game with the officiating. I could care less, my bf was bitching about the officiating and I told him that by the end of the game the calls would be within five of each other, and they were...jazz 40, mavs 35. Also, check out Stack's flagrant (ejection) and explain to me why that wasn't a bailout for the Jazz.

[anonymous coward]

:clap

legit win.
_irk amaze me more each game, i think no one will catch him in the mvp race this year.

[ponky]

Sure is. Why fucking not.

Bulls are getting it together and playing well, nice to see another team from the East starting to play well.

Fourth quarters are where games are won. There are rarely games that are horribly called in one team's favor the whole game (like Games 3 and 4 of last year's WCSF). It's always best to get calls late in games. And these Mavs are great at that.

Damn, it must be nice being a Mavs fan. If the Spurs could always count on the refs evening things up, they'd be going for championship number 5 this year.

Stern promised me i could go to any team i want to.

[slayermin]

What I don't get is why Sloan didn't use Kirilenko on Nowitzki. It's not like he has any low post game to speak of.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

AK47 sucks and belongs on the shelf

[mavsfan1000]

Kirilenko is Utah's best help defender. Dirk would take that away which allows everyone else to get better looks. Without Kirilenko Utah's defense is very weak.

[slayermin]

AK47 sucks and belongs on the shelf

He's the perfect anti-Nowitzki. I think he matches up very well with Dirk.

So this explains why we lost to the Lakers the other night when Kobe and the Lakers had three FTAs going into the second half and then got it even at the line in the fourth. I don't buy this, Lakers played well, they got more calls and that's fine because the Mavs did not play good D or play well in the fourth, too many mistakes.

You are correct that the game ends in the 4th quarters so yes, this is the quarter in which the game is won. :rolleyes In this game, the Jazz got the majority of the calls to go up double digits through the first three quarters so it's lame to say that we got "bailouts" in the fourth just because we got more calls in the fourth. I think it's a bailout to eject Stackhouse for a flagrant when he was playing well for the team when guys like Terry weren't. It's a bailout to call a tech on Avery when Sloan can jaw at Stack and use words like "bullshit"and "motherfucker" in front of the ref and get off with not even a warning. As for the Spurs, seems like they like to take jumpers when the game is on the line and they need a 2-3 to win or get even...as Spurs fans like to remind Mavs fans, fouls on jumpers should not get rewarded like drives to the lane. I'm done, thanks for the kudos on the win, only a Spurs fan would use a word like "bailout"...have fun playing the Jazz IN Utah.

[ChumpDumper]

only a Spurs fan would use a word like "bailout"You used it twice, counselor.

[ponky]

You used it twice, counselor.

oh look, it's a tag team and mr. obvious has entered the room...i have nothing further to argue your honor but thanks for sitting up there on your throne and pointing out insignificant tibdits of fact

[ChumpDumper]

It's quite significant.

[mqywaaah]

Nothing

[Dirk Nowitzki]

God I love this team! They have such a chip on their shoulder it is fucking scary! These guys KNOW what needs to be done to be the best and they are fucking showing it!! :clap

[RonMexico]

Stackhouse is such a douche

Stackhouse is such a douche


“(After the 1st flagrant foul) everything I did after that was marginal was going to go against me. But we got the win . . . deal with that.”

(Confrontation between Stackhouse and Sloan)

“It’s personal. They don’t like me and I don’t like them.”

---Stackhouse post-game quotes


I FUCKING LOVE STACKHOUSE, THE GUY HAS HEART AND IS A TOUGH CAT! Jho and Stack don't take shit from no one, it's what this team lacked and I'm happy to see them talking like this, *clap clap clap*

i agree man. its nice to see someone stepping up nowadays, as opposed to in the past, when this team would take shit from anyone and everyone. now no one on this team takes shit, especially Howard and Stack. while Dirk is still a tad on the soft side, hes definitely gotten MUCH better. hes not afraid to shove someone and tell them to fuck off. i think the only chance Dirk has to shed his "soft" image is to win an NBA title, and be dominant in doing so, by not settling for jumpers when he needs to be driving.

[mabber]

I watched most of the second half.

Are you telling me the game wasn't won at the line? Did you watch it?

Dirk, Jet & Harris all made shots in the last 2 minutes so it wasn't entirely won on the line. You can't help but shoot a lot of free throws vs. the Jazz as they are incredible hacks. And yes, Dirk got bailed out on that one call vs. Boozer where Boozer got all ball but I love that he gets those calls now. He never got them prior to last season.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

When Dirk drives to the hoops he is flat out unguardable! BTW Stretch stop :jack Ponky. :lol :lol

[bdictjames]

Kirilenko's not as effective as last year..

Hey, look it's a civilized Mav Fan. All the rest just fly off the handle if even slightly questioned. Props for bringing more to the table.

"Bail out? !@#$ you, you @#$%^& piece of !@#$. Did you watch the whole game? The Jazz got bailed out in the first quarter when the ump threw the jump ball crookedly :madrun :madrun :madrun" --Average Mav Fan


but I love that he gets those calls now. He never got them prior to last season.

In the last year, Dirk has gotten enough of those calls to last a lifetime.

But props to the Mavs for having players who refs respect.

[Islymore]

well... as a MAVFAN i admit there are plenty of us who do fly off the handle and are foul-mouthed... but there are plenty who aren't as eruptive. I didn't get to watch this game, but i did catch the tailend of the "rewind" when i happened to wake up at 2 am... but... from what i did catch, i saw that the Mavs showed some emotion this game... so... i'm okay with that... i'll be back with more comments....

[mFFL03]

Wow the refs have tried to screw us over the last 3 games and we should have essentially won 3-3. That Terry drive to the hoop in LA was one of the biggest fouls I've ever seen.

Almost Ginobli like.

And Dirk's final drive to the basket in the final seconds.....if thats not a foul then I don't know what is. I think at halftime it was 28 FT for the Jazz to 13 for the Mavs. Wow.

Keep it up Stern, we can with or without you now.

[Mr Dio]

Maybe all this winning the mavs and cross-eyed cuban r doing can carryover to the NBA Finals???? :lol

Terry's drive was rejected cleanly...just cuz a guy falls down hard doesn't mean it's a foul :lol Also, Dirk was an idiot for even taking the ball to the hoop and it didn't look like a foul to me. Dirk nor Avery complained about it at the time. You know Dirk would have if he'd been fouled.

Keep the whining about the officiating out of here...it's really lame.

[ponky]

Oh that's right you were merely posing a query, my bad, I wonder why I missed that! :rolleyes


There's a reason you watch the entire game before making assumptions...it wasn't just about the fouls it was also about the disappearance of Terry/Harris until the 4th quarter. Now that someone's explained this to you, you congratulate him...even if he made your "bailout" reference look dumb.

No one's whining about the officiating...unless you mean the Spurs fan who brought up the officiating in the first place, see below:

It is amazing basketball has come to this. The Mavericks are the best the NBA has to offer? No wonder they can't win on the international level. There are quite a few people who believe that the whole thing is rigged and the way the Mav's are going adds evidence to this belief. There is a reason why this is the first season Cuban is not going nuts. He was told to shut up and it will be his turn. Don't look for any repeats though. The loss of revenue from unsold Maverick gear will send the NBA in another direction next year. Maybe, it will be Yao's and Houston's turn. You can sell alot of copycat Rocket gear in China.

For the last time the NBA is not rigged. Stern is not exactly fond of Cuban. The thought of handing the trophy to Cuban is enough to make Stern want to go in a corner lying in a fetal position. If it was truly rigged don't you think the LeBrons would have won the title already? I agree that some players get all the calls but there is no Oliver Stone conspiracy.
