Mavericks @ Hotlanta Hawks

[pussyface]

This game apparently is nowhere to be found online.
Rumor has it, though, that the little Mavericks are giving a nice account of themselves.

[pussyface]

The good people in Atlanta are getting a first hand glimpse at what greatness looks like today

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

yeah looks like this one is gonna be over quickly.

people dont really get into the game or cheer in atlanta they just sit there and watch

I hope Zaza pwns their ass, he's been playing damn good ball lately but it looks like it's going to be a blowout http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smidepressed.gif

Doesn't look hopeful for Atlanta and yeah, no one is even THERE.

you would think some people would show up just to watch the road team in this case. i mean, if yr only going to go to a handful of hawks games you would think this would be one of them.

im an ex-Dallasite living in New Orleans. Before the faggy Hornets started playing in OK I used to take advantage of this shitty NBA city by buying 20 dollar scalped tickets when the Mavs came to town and moving up to the 5th row because no one was really there. ...it was the type of thing you could never do in Dallas, so I appreciated it a lot.

[kingsfan]

I was going to go but was told it was sold out so I dunno.
Hawks only down by 14, not too bad. GO ZAZA and SMOOVE!!

as shocked as you may be. not everyone is a Mavs fan

[kingsfan]

Hawks only down 4, they're coming back http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smielephant.gif

[trueD]

Seriously, a nail biter in the 4th!

Pachilia could tie the game here with a couple of FT's. 8:41 to go in the game.

[kingsfan]

true-you watching it? This is awesome, now don't let them come back.

[trueD]

Mavs announcer after a steal and fast break with a foul from Childress: "You don't back down, you drive it down their throat. Then when you get it back, you drive it down their throat again".

[trueD]

Yep. Where did the crowd come from? At 1:00 in the afternoon when the game started it was like a morgue...Atlanta fans all in church or something?

[kingsfan]

Yeap it is the Bible belt, can't miss church for hoops. I figured it would fill up but they always show up late anyway.

[trueD]

Dirk traveled twice in those two possessions...

[trueD]

Lots of chest beating and high fives for getting the lead back from the Hawks after being up by what, about 20? :lol

[kingsfan]

http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif yea they've earned those rings now http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smirolleyes.gif

[pussyface]

my point had less than 0 to do with being a fan. the point is, you expect that fans are more likely to watch their shitty team play when they know at least theat the opponent is noteworthy.

i was never a fan of jordan's bulls or the kobe/shaq lakers, but none the less when those teams played the mavs it was more interesting for me to watch/go to those games the when they played the typical also-rans of the league. as a fan, those are obviously the games you look forward to. this is what made the lack of attendance in atlanta in the first quarter puzzling to me.

...not sure where you got confused as to what I was trying to say and decided to come at me with your faggy snarkiness.

Hawks are an athletic young team. With a good PG and a nice pick they could make some noise in the near future.

well when you're up by 20 against the Hawks, you get bored, and the game lasts 48 minutes so you know they will eventually outplay the Mavericks sometime during the game. it just got out of hand

just sick of Mav fans trying to push their team on everyone and to notice their record etc... its an impressive record no doubt but only need to hear it a few times before it gets really old.

[atxrocker]

you seriously call that greatness?

[monosylab1k]

The Hawks are alot more talented than people know. They just have to figure out how to play more disciplined. And they desperately need a PG.

Mark my words - the Atlanta Hawks will be a title contender within 3 years.

It's our version of "We have three rings, you have zero."

It's something that must be endured.

[monosylab1k]

On another note, that Mavericks seriously need to start limiting the minutes of their heavy's. 41 minutes for Dirk, 39 for Howard and Terry. I realize the game got close at times, but do they really need to play that much? You'd figure in a game like this, they could afford to find time to play Pop, JJ, and Croshere for 8-10 minutes.

Dirk got 41 and Croshere got a DNP - WTF? Was their something wrong with Croshere where he couldn't play? Dirk getting 41 minutes against the Hawks is just an absolute waste of his energy.

yeah, pretty retarded comment.
being a playoff team would be a more reasonable and level-headed projection for this hawks squad. then again, Mono-man has that crystal ball working i guess...

With Joe Johnson their record should be better. There is no reason in the East they should not be the 7th or 8th seed. Is saying something with the SE division that Shaq has been on vacation half the season and Wade is out possibly the rest of the season and maybe the playoffs yet the Wiz are only a half game up for the division lead.

at least we didn't get swept by two eastern conference teams this season

[Viva Las Espuelas]

at least we didn't get swept by two eastern conference teams this seasonour starters probably played less minutes in those losses as well than yours in this 7 point win. either way i'm ready for the playoffs to get here. all the pressure is on you guys. don't screw it up................................................ .................................................. ...
.............................AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, i guess if you worry about such things considering your guys are older...anyway, it's funny how some spurs fans start talking shit about minutes when mavs/spurs both have about the same min per starter and the mavs will definitely be able to kick back in april with the leads they have over the *lesser* teams. i guess the spurs would know something about pressure considering how it got the better of them every year after they won a ring. no pressure on the mavs, they didn't win last season and many still predict the spurs to come out on top.

actually, i just checked some of the minutes of those games, 1 min difference for two guys and 2 min difference for the other...the only reason there's a disparity is because when the spurs lost those games they lost in a big way, of course pop's going to sit the starters when it looks like the spurs don't have a chance of making a comeback.

of course you wouldn't understand it, it's called denial. anyway, you're the one who has ruffled feathers, seems like more than any other spurs poster (except for spursdynasty) you can't seem to let a mavs thread go by without making a snide comment. i'm fine with it, but don't expect mavs fans to just sit by and let you talk smack without responding....especially when you don't even know what you're talking about regarding the minutes played. you should try nba.com sometime, they have all the stats.

btw, i don't live in dallas, never have.

1st Mavs game I've missed this season :cry

Freakin' noon game...somehow missed it while setting up recordings on the DVR...

Sounds like the Mavs got a little bored in the 2nd and 3rd and then stepped on the gas again late... :ihit

you've got no clue what the fuck you're talking about. do you watch the hawks? do you follow the hawks? how many hawks games do you catch each season? have you studied their roster? read any expert opinions about the team?

you're a clueless piece of shit. some arrogant dickhead Mavs fan that didn't give a fuck back in the day when the Mavs were as bad as the Hawks, but he wants to talk all kinds of shit now.

...again with the crystal ball.
you know everything about me.
Monoman recalls a young Sylvia Brown.

unfortunately, no matter what you say, it is not conventional wisdom in the basketball world that the Hawks will be contending for titles within three years. ...and you can "mark my words" on that one, tough guy. you were making a random and overly bold prediction and if you review this thread you will find ample examples of other posters taking issue with your overeager prediction as well.

ps...did you hear about your main man "leo"? i heard he is reuinting with ms. titanic winslet herself. you and all the other fangirls must be so excited.

i agree with you about the hawks, i've watched a lot of their games this season and in the east, it's totally possible for them to be in the playoffs within the next couple of years...aren't they only something like 5 games out right now?

[monosylab1k]

you and all the other fangirls must be so excited.

make fun of me for being a dicaprio fan all you want. i'll gladly take shit for that.

on the other hand, everyone gives you shit because you're an obtuse fuckhead. good luck with all that.

Yeah. In the Eastern Conference, is it really a stretch to say that they can be a title contender very quickly? look how quickly toronto's turned it around...and if orlando had any consistency they would be right up there too.

[pussyface]

2 of them were easily the worst Scorcese movies of all time. DiCaprio was way too much of a whiny bitch to play Howard Hughes and he looked like a high school age kid playing dress up.

to be totally honest though, "the departed" was the first movie I saw with him in it where he didn't annoy the shit out of me.

[pussyface]

Yeah. In the Eastern Conference, is it really a stretch to say that they can be a title contender very quickly? look how quickly toronto's turned it around...and if orlando had any consistency they would be right up there too.

it is a major stretch to say that anyone considers Toronto to be a legitimate "contender" this year here in 2007.

does anyone believe Toronto can win the title this year?
if you had said they can be a solid playoff team in the East within 3 years I would not have objected.

[leemajors]

wouldn't they need to can billy knight first?

I take it you haven't seen "Boxcar Bertha" or "Bringing Out The Dead" or "Kundun". But a shitty Scorsese movie is still good.

playoff team next year. contender within 3.

[DOMINATOR]

i wasnt being sarcastic at all :rolleyes

the parts of dallas ive been to a few times were really nice

[monosylab1k]

wouldn't they need to can billy knight first?

i don't know. i can't tell if he is just really horrible at his job, or if he's making the right moves, and the team just needs time to gel together....he's done alot of things right....building through the draft rather than free agency....and even though he overpaid for joe johnson, i think everyone agrees that JJ is alot better than anybody expected him to be. if this team is still failing next year and the year after, maybe he does need to be shitcanned.
