**Mavs vs Suns Gamethread**

[Ozzman]

MAN the Mavs choked harder than Monica Lewinsky on Bill Clinton.....

[pking]

Dirk's tech was a true indicator of his inability to lead his team.

BS. Dude had a terrible game but that's bullshit. Before tonight, the majority of smart NBA fans were picking him as MVP...He's lead is team to a 52-11 record which while it isn't a pretty as 53-10 would've been, it's still pretty fucking nice. If this were the playoffs, I might agree with that...but one fucking technical foul because he felt he was fouled does not show that Dirk can't lead a team.

[Purple & Gold]

If Dirk would have jumped into him, he would have gotten the call.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

amare does need to chill out cuz he's gonna tech his suns out of games.


while the spurs dont draw techs they still bitch way way too much


if anything i'd probably be more inclined to call fouls on the spurs because they don't stop crying. I love the team to death and while it does feel like we've calmed down with the bitching this year to a degree, I just hope we can nut up and play ball and not worry about the officiating.


Also, to be honest, I wouldn't mind one of our players getting a tech here or there to fire up the team. The only person who gets techs for us to motivate us is pop and sometimes I'd like to see one of our players take charge.

Not to say I want us to get thrown out of games, but just a little bit of fiery emotion would be nice to get everyone pumped.

[Don Quixote]

Dang. Dallas had that game won. They choked pretty hard.

I was pulling for them too.

Yep, the Dallas Chokers, everybody.

[ponky]

Dirk's tech was a true indicator of his inability to lead his team.

i don't think the mavs have a true leader, they never have. they've got guys like stack and jet to pump them up but even dirk will shy away from questions about being the leader of the team.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

But they don't get Technicals. You know why? Because they can get their point across but still be professionals by not swearing at the refs. Something the Mavs, Suns and especially certain Pistons would be wise to learn. You're allowed to argue with a ref, but you have to treat him with respect.




Amare's a hell of player, but a complete dope. He came off REALLY poorly in that McCallum book. Dude is dumber than a brick. And throwing the ball at Carroll that other game was weak.
Aside from Amare being stupid. I don't think the Spurs are the only classy team. I think a lot of the players on the Suns, and a few on the Mavs are pretty respectful.

I think Dirk has anger management problems, but for the most part the Mavs aren't "not" classy. They have a few questionable players like Terry the ballbuster, and Dirk's temper tantrums, but eh. I don't think Spurs fans should take exception to the class of their players. Duncan is prone to being a big fat whiner. Pop had to tell him to cut it out a couple months ago.

[Ozzman]

The Mavs choked harder than Dirk Nowitzki on Steve Nash Dick......

[mardigan]

Man
i know Tim whines alot, but Dirk was just out of control tonight

[aaronstampler]

Man, I dont know if Ive ever seen a team look better in a loss than the Mavs did tonight

You're kidding, right? Their defense was fucking awful.

[RonMexico]

BS. Dude had a terrible game but that's bullshit. Before tonight, the majority of smart NBA fans were picking him as MVP...He's lead is team to a 52-11 record which while it isn't a pretty as 53-10 would've been, it's still pretty fucking nice. If this were the playoffs, I might agree with that...but one fucking technical foul because he felt he was fouled does not show that Dirk can't lead a team.

I'll say it again - the indicator was when he wouldn't let up and almost got a 2nd tech after Amare knocked the ball out bounds and Dirk thought it should have been a foul... Buckner saved him from that shit

good god, kids in the 'burbs are nutz :lol :lol :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

All I'm saying is this


if there's less than 5 seconds left


I'd still want either Dirk or Kobe taking that shot if I got to pick out of the entire league

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Cuban once again shines as the biggest baby involved with the NBA.

I second the notion. :lol I missed it. But he's so lame for a public figure.

[cornbread]

I know his game won't get much attention but Stack was amazing tonight.

[Ozzman]

Dirk was weaker than MTV's The Real Wrold: Road Rules Challenge......

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Any GIFs available of him pushing the camera yet?i thought i saw that. i wonder is stu jackson's mailbox will be filled with a tape of "questionable" calls.

[dirk4mvp]

Funny how nobody says shit when Dirk hit the game winner last time they played, but are all over him when he misses it tonight.

[RonMexico]

As evidence of tonight. I'd rather have Nash.

By the way Cornbread, you like the new sig?

[ponky]

On the court? perhaps you're right.

assumptions based on one game are awesome...how quickly spurs fans forget about losing to the suns by 16 just last month after being up by five at the half...guess your spurs choked as well with 30% shooting from duncan

[aaronstampler]

I'm kinda curious to see how they'll handle the Pistons game on Sunday. Anyway, night everybody, I'm out.

[Fillmoe]

mavs fans do us all a favor and kill yourselves

If Dirk had the fire, and that leader's edge, MVP edge He would have had the Larry Bird Balls to just go for the win.

It may sound silly, but maybe it's true. You either are a clutch winner, or you aren't. It's something innate.

[lurker]

Man
i know Tim whines alot, but Dirk was just out of control tonight
Steve spent a lot of time whining, too. He just knows how to do it without cursing and yelling, unlike Dirk. :lol

[boutons_]

I wanted the Suns to lose to help the Spurs in the standings,
but it was great how the Mavs lost so painfully. Their fans and Cuban deserve it. :lol

The dilemma is that had the Suns lost, the Mavs would have been insufferably swaggering and confident.

So I guess it's better this way. The Spurs are fine in 3rd seed, with whatever 1st round opponent washes up from the depths of the WC.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ill take Ginobli


he's one of my favorite players but if it comes to shots at the buzzer at the end of games it's gotta be dirk or kobe


but ginobili is in the top 5 :)


also, when it comes to sports, all we can say is

"what have you done for me lately"

and lately dirk choked in a big time game.

i still think he's clutch as hell obviously but I wouldn't get mad at the naysayers

[G-Money]

Im starting to think all the winning is getting to the Mavs just like it got to the Pistons last year.

[polandprzem]

Aside from Amare being stupid. I don't think the Spurs are the only classy team. I think a lot of the players on the Suns, and a few on the Mavs are pretty respectful.

[aaronstampler]

How you played three months ago doesn't matter. It's all about how you're playing NOW. And the score was a lot closer than it appears, if you watched the game. The Suns ended it with like a 10-0 run in the final two minutes.

[pking]

I fucking thought he was gonna pull up and hit a 3 to win it in the 2nd OT... MVP will be won in Phoenix in 2 1/2 weeks

Seems like everyone thinks it was won tonight.


I see your point about the Technical situation, BTW. I just don't necessarily agree that what happened tonight means he can't lead a team. If it was a regular thing, I'd probably agree.

[Ozzman]

The game was poorly played by the Weak German, and the MAvs lost it, the suns did not beat them. But I will give the Suns credit for shooting OUTSTANDING tonight vs. the Mavs. Nobody has done that this season aside from the first four games.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

and yeah i thought dirk would go for three seeing how marion most likely would've kept running and dirk would've had an even more open shot

[ponky]

Cause he didnt just miss one tonight

i can remember a couple of games where manu didn't get that last shot in...and don't even think about going to duncan as the clutch guy at the end of the game...otherwise, show me the proof and i'll match up with a dirk clutch this season

at least dirk gets the ball and makes them half the time, it's easy to diss him when he doesn't make them...same goes for manu because the guy doesn't always make the shot...when they have the balls to take it, no need to diss, but if it makes you feel better, go right ahead

[mardigan]

No one thinks that, just pointing out that tonight on a big stage in a big game Dirk choked big time

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What are you getting all pissy about? Quit loooking at the Spurs fan under my name?

I wasn't taking a slight, I was just referring to Avery Johnson as their leader they look to.

Please. I wasn't even ragging on the Mavs play. I thought they were in it right there. I just referring to this game right here. And Dirk's behavior today. So all that smack talk about the Spurs, isn't really necessary in reply to my post.

Ease up a bit will ya?

[pking]

10-3 in the final 55 seconds :lol Ugly, man.. ugly.

I agree that it's all about how you're playing now (or recently, anyway), I'm just surprised to see someone on here say that. It's all about the past and whenever we've played poorly to a bunch of people on here.

[RonMexico]

Steve spent a lot of time whining, too. He just knows how to do it without cursing and yelling, unlike Dirk. :lol

He called out Javie once and said it was "bullshit"

His biggest beef was the play where he gets a pass stolen in the 4th quarter and it's obvious the ball went only 5 feet because Dirk slapped the hell out of his arm... I mean, he is Steve Nash - I'm sure he can make a quality pass back to the top of the key

[Fillmoe]

Im not dissing him overall, if the ball was in his hands in game 7 against the Spurs with time running out, I would be scared, just tonight he choked

[Viva Las Espuelas]

punky is going to be busy in here tonight.

[lurker]

Why doesnt he just do it in German, he would get a lot less
shit if he did
If the refs hear him speaking in German, they'll probably just assume he was saying something bad and call the tech anyway. :lol


He needs to just keep his mouth shut.

[leemajors]

Where was this???? I still have the game taped... I want to go back and find it

every time i see that tossed salad goatee i recoil in horror. i still saw his weak camera shove though. even dirk could give him a lesson in lashing out.

ummm, i said LAST month, how is that 3 months ago? anyway, we always trade games by less than five points with the suns...i'd prefer that than a 16 point blowout anyday because it means that both teams played hard and the series could go either way

[mardigan]

Yeah, Kobe, Jordan, all of them have to miss every now and then.

Duncan is pretty clutch though. I think he has about 8 or 10 game winners than Manu, but Manu has done some clutch shots for his Argentine team, and is always either responsible for the game winning or tying play, for having the ball in his hands.

[dirk4mvp]

Yea, of course, but any Mav fan that doesnt think he choked tonight is lying to themselves


Oh he choked.... and shoulda had the balls to just take a pull up 3 running at full speed a la T-Mac, but he didn't. 2 starters were fouled out already, so if he hit the 2, they probably would've lost in the 3rd OT.

MK hasn't been good in a while.

[pking]

What defense?

Mavs played defense in the third quarter, that's about it.

Sucks to lose on your home court when you haven't lost there in what..three months? Sucks to lose to the Suns, sucks to lose the second game in a row...Sucks to lose in general. But this loss wasn't any more upsetting to me than Mondays in Oakland.

[mardigan]

MK hasn't been good in a while.
Yea, your right, but it takes me back to the good ol days

I just don't get why everybody is going apeshit over tonight.

probably because these last two games have taken some of the fear away from other teams' fans. mavs have been fairly dominant throughout the season and when teams slip up, like the suns the last month and the spurs up until just after the rodeo road trip, it's a comfort when the other good teams get brought back to earth. i never thought the mavs were going to roll over either of the other two teams so it's no big deal but they probably didn't see it that way. and also, it's probably because everyone was shitting themselves when the mavs came back froma 16 point deficit.

I actually also kinda like that this put 70 wins at bay -- not that they can't still do it, but with 19 games to go, I don't really see them losing only one more. I'm not all for 70, I want the hype to shut up. I mean, if they can do it, I'd be excited as hell. But I hate the hype for it.

no it isn't. it could've been painful had the mavs lost by a ridiculous amount of points and not clawed their way back into a real game. it would've been two straight horrific games of no effort. mavs didn't do that. if you look at the suns/mavs matchups, they are usually decided by less than five points, this game is no different. spurs fans like to note that despite our wins in the spurs/mavs matchups, the close nature of the games means that they are basically evenly matched up. no different with the suns/mavs, game could've gone either way and it's been that way for some time now. one mistake by jho in the regular season is a lot better than one mistake by manu in the playoffs

oh well, i have to go now, enjoy the win and once again, congrats suns fans, your team played very well tonight...even you nashfan!

[Fillmoe]

whatever you say popeye

[mardigan]

Its great that most of the smart Mav fans have been on this thread tonight, like a breath of fresh air

[RonMexico]

classy. i'll quote so as to bump when the suns are bumped in the playoffs...at least i don't bitch about the officiating when we lose the way you do

Or Dirk does!

You know I'm just razzing you - show me a complaint about officials from me tonight

[ponky]

:lol :lol :lol bye!

[pking]

I would love to watch the game over again. I missed most of the OTs because I'm too chicken shit to watch. Makes my stomach hurt too bad. Get too nervous. :lol

[RonMexico]

:lol :lol :lol bye!

Hey, I can grow and change... give some credit

[cornbread]

Did anybody hear what type of injury Harris had? Was that neck or head?

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Did anybody hear what type of injury Harris had? Was that neck or head?
I think they said he hit his head on the floor.

[mardigan]

Neck

[pking]

sprained neck.

[cornbread]

That sucks.

[Shank]

Hehe...it totally says invisible sandwich on that cat picture.

Good times.

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE MOTHER FUCKING KIDDING ME!!! OH MY GOD I AM SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW THAT I JUST PUNCHED A FUCKING HOLE RIGHT THROUGH MY WALL. THAT SHIT IS GONNA COST ME MONEY NOW. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :madrun FUCKING MAVS PLAYING LIKE CHODES TONIGHT. FUCK THEM. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! :pctoss

[Ozzman]

The Mavs burn out too quickly; they peaked at the wrong time, and Avery pushed them at the wrong time. bUt they will bounce back.....they have so far this year....
I also think that the no-calls for stack, Dirk, Nash, and Barbosa were disgusting. Barbosa got FOULED on the last shot of the fourth.

[tempe85]

Ladies and gentlemen, exhibit #281,382,985,382 why a team coached by Mike D'Antoni will never win a fucking thing.

Iso for Barbosa? I could understand it if Nash had two broken legs.

Bull... it wasn't a bad call at all. Barbosa has averaged 32 points a game over the previous three games... shot over 50% from the field and from 3 and has a history of hitting big shots (Bulls game earlier this year). He's also considered the fastest player in the entire league... to top that off the Mavs thought they'd go to Amare or Nash.... sometimes misdirection works sometimes it doesn't. And for your information D'Antoni has already won a couple championships as a coach in the second hardest league in the world.

[Xylus]

Remember last year in Game 1 of the playoffs when Diaw hit the game winner?

I don't think it's absolutely fucking nuts to go with Barbosa, one of your best and most clutch scorers, in the waning seconds of the game. Do I think Nash would have had a better chance? Sure, but the Mavs were probably covering Nash like white on rice.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

You're an idiot.

:depressed :madrun My temper got the best of me last night!

[Findog]

I don't want to hear about the officiating. We choked it away with those three free throw misses. Total replay of Game 3 of the Finals. Makes you wonder.

[LEONARD]

Crazy game...can't wait for the Mavs - Suns finals...it's gonna be nuts...

Funny seeing all the Spurs fans in this thread rambling on about officiating :lol

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

the thing that everyone needs to take from last night is that with Stoudemire "back", there no longer is one super team that is miles ahead of everyone else. its now a two horse and probly a three horse race with the way San Antonio is playing. im glad we are still three games up but i would call these three teams even once again


no matter how Mavfans will deny it

[mavsfan1000]

That's what I've been saying for awhile. Mav fans keep saying the suns have no chance because they don't play defense. Well if Amare is that unstoppable they can get away with it partially.

[Clutch20]

I'm done. That's it. That's all I can stand and I can't stand no more. I'm sick to my stomach from nerves, my voice is gone due to me screaming at my television one week after a throat infection and my hands are raw rom viciously slapping my hands together. I can barely type. I can barely think.

I'm glad they got the win, but believe me, for many, many fans, this game has nearly killed them. Greatest regular season game I've ever seen. If I was to die tomorrow, I'd die happy. Anf with how I feel now, death may not be such a terrible fellow... OMG.

This thread was a great read. I'm sad I thought it was over with a minute left. Very sad. Impossible is nothing. Guess it's true afterall. Each team and its fans deserved the win. Hell of a game. Not that none have any questions with regards to such.

I'm out. Maybe indefinately...

JMarkJohns succintly paints the portrait of the psyche/makeup of the typical poster here at this great ST site, albeit, of one who still needs to undergo THE FINALS experience, but he gets it, allright...........

i still am not over it. i just keep telling myself were still #1 in the NBA and were 2-1 vs phenoix. i cant wait unill the 4th game.

I've gone through a Finals experience: 92-93. Unlike most of the Johnny Come Lately bandwagon fans of various teams, I've been a vocal Suns fan since the late 80's. Grew up in Phoenix and had the privelage of attending many, many games. Love the Suns. Some say too much. I've just one thing to experience and that's a Title. Maybe, hopefully, one day.

Life may not end with a loss, but sometimes, it feels as though it has. That's my reality for ya.

Yeah, you beat me to it - most fans out here (aka Mavs fans who started watching the NBA in 2001) don't realize the Suns have been to the Finals before... and had an MVP before Steve Nash.

your cool.

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

whats the point? i started really following the Mavericks and the NBA in 1999. i watched before then but i didnt really pay close attention cause i wasnt interested, but i still know very well about the history. does that make me a bandwagoning loser? besides what does the Suns 92-93 title run have anything to do with last night's game.

lets get back on topic

[ponky]

oh right, because most people don't know shit about sir charles and his games against mj. this is where you're definitely wrong. actually, most people will remember that finals series before they remember last night's game. most people will remember loudmouth charles and ALL his antics before they remember last night's game. thanks for helping me prove my point from earlier today :rolleyes

the homer in you is starting to show. you can stop frothing at the mouth now.

lol, there is no point, unless it's that ronmexico hates dallas, dallasites, mavsfans and all things mavs-related and will say anything to bash any of the above

I dont mind it.

[ponky]

I dont mind it.

i saw your post that you think he's cool...i think he's alright as well, one of the better suns fans along with amare_32. doesn't mean i'm not going to call him when the homer in him comes out. wait until the suns lose again, the *other* guy will show up and start whining about dirk and the officiating, blah blah blah

[mavsfan1000]

All mavs fans are idiots. They make excuses for every loss. Dirk is a choker. The refs give them every call or they would be the worst team.

[Shank]

I'd like to institute a 24-hour rule between us so we don't run shit into the ground like the Spursfolk do. Sooooo, shortly after 11:15pm CST tonight, this talk should start to die until we near April 1st.

But until then - fuck Ron Mexico and his bitch team.

how long is harris and george out?

[Shank]

Harris will play Friday night.
George won't see significant time until they're sure he's ready and he surely won't play on the 2nd night of any B2Bs.

I have no idea to what fued you're referencing, but I'll be honest, I figure close to half that post on this board probably were under six in 92-93, so therefore many probably don't remember, if know much of anything at all about Barkley's Suns getting trounced by Jordan's Bulls. It's nothing they could help, but I'm quite sure many here are under 20 years of age, including several Suns and Mavs posters.

What this has to do with this topic, or my original post mentioning 92-93? I have no idea. I was letting Clutch know I had experienced the NBA Finals (I was 14 at the time). Hell, I remember when the supremely talented Suns of 1990 finally beat the Lakers, advancing to the Western Conference Finals, only to lose to an injured and undermanned Portland team.

My point was harmless. Completely. Only to mention I do have a "Finals" history with the Suns. I wasn't trying to prove anyone wrong.

Still, I have no doubt that a significant number of posters (namely Suns/Mavs) are probably 20-and-under and therefore have very little memory of anything pre-1996 or so... Several of whom have posted within this thread. They may deny being so young, but I can gather differently from their overall post content and attitude towards basketball. Those who have a sense of history have a substance to their posts that some just lack.

Kind of like that Old Spice commercial. "If you want it, you must have it. To have it, you must have wanted it. To get more, you have to have had some in the first place, but if you have none, then you can't get that first bit to get started"... and whatnot. It's nonsense. See, I mentioned earlier in this thread I was fried... Now, can't I decompile in peace? :spin :dramaquee

Those who don't have "it", we just know.

"It" in this case being a sense of basketball pre-Jordan's 1st unretirement. Hell, there's some that post here I'm not certain have a sense of basketball pre-Jordan's 2nd unretirement.

don't worry about it, i mostly agree with what you wrote. my post was for ronmexico, in reference to a disagreement we had last night over how stained in the memory of nba fans that game would be a year from now, a couple of years from now, etc.

[JMarkJohns]

Finals are always remembered longer than regular season games, unless something tragic happens. Even then... I'm sure I've seen umteen "greatest regular season games ever" in my life. I couldn't tell you the previous past a few years ago. It's just how it is. You remember the stage and then the performance. In many ways, the stage defines the performance.

[dallaskd]

:blah lets talk in the playoffs.

I didn't say ponky, mavsfan1000, strech, and Shank didn't know about the early 90s Suns... I was just talking about those select few who thought Mark Cuban brought an NBA franchise to Dallas... and a Dairy Queen....

you misspelled my name, fuckface.

[RonMexico]

Trust me - there are just as many bandwagon Suns fans out there (aka on all the Suns message boards) that drive me completely nuts and wouldn't know Eddie from Kevin Johnson, Jeff Hornacek from Dan Majerle, Mark West from Andrew Lang, or Tim Kempton from Tim Perry (note how I included all 3 guys who were traded for Barkley in that list... I'm so witty)

In fact, that's why I post here because I'd feel sacreligious fighting with my own kind, so I might as well debate with fans of other teams... at length, I might add. Kind of same reason I don't post on Aggie message boards because they make me want to drive a stake through my eye.
