~Fear The Choke Job~

[trueD]

Of course there are still four games left to play, but if even one game--Game 4, 5, 6 or (if Mavs' fans are lucky) 7--resembles this ass-whipping, Mavs will be the first #1 seed to get knocked out of the first round in how many years, anyone know?

The sound of silence from [whiney arrogant] Mavs fans opens this weekend at your favorite Sports Board.

Enjoy.

[ponky]

meh, you don't really choke if you were never in the game to begin with, use proper terminology when you start mav-hate threads.

oh, and why should we be silent when fans from a team that didn't even make the playoffs are still blathering away because they've jumped onto another team's back like true bandwagon fans?

don't you have lottery talk to attend to?

[Chris Childs]

I've been saying it all through the regular season, when playoff time comes, the mavs will choke once again as usual because their history is to powerful to overcome.

[TheSanityAnnex]

meh, you don't really choke if you were never in the game to begin with, use proper terminology when you start mav-hate threads.

I believe she meant the series stupid fuck, and if you do lose it, would be a choke job. This isn't a mav hate thread, this is a :lol @ mavs thread.

[TheSanityAnnex]

don't you have lottery talk to attend to?You'll be joining soon, just with a worse pick than us.

Why should I be silent just because my team isn't in the PO's? Some here would call that true homerism. Is that what you would do? I guess we may see...

And, I submit that choking is EXACTLY what is happening here. :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

The last time a 1 lost to an 8 was 99, but should the Mavs lose(which they won;t) They'd be the first since it went to 7 game series

[loveThe23]

Just because your team is out of the playoffs, we can't watch or root for other teams? that's wrong. and as you can see True isn't dissing your team, she's just saying, fear the choke job.. GS did it tonight.

[ponky]

lol at these poor kings fans...next time you wanna hire a coach who likes to drink make sure and get the right one...nellie can drink and hold court, look at that impressive keg on him...musselman can just fuck over your team and then get bumped and take your team down with him

[trueD]

This isn't about hate, it's about competition, pure and simple.

The Spurs aren't likely to disappoint against Nugs tomorrow.

No mention of the game tonight? Our seasons done, yours is soon to follow.

[mardigan]

Ahahahahahahahahhahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kermit]

i'm expecting hawks fan to chime in here any second now, along with grizzlies fan telling the mavericks how bad they suck.

[trueD]

you're cool, trueD's just always been a mavs-hater...oh, and a stalker which is kind of weird but whatever
I'm not a Mav's hater. And if you're looking over your shoulder it ain't on me.

What did the Mavs miss tonight? They were totally and utterly dominated, yet the stat lines were simlilar (at least in the 3rd quarter) except for those extra 20 points.

What is your analysis?

[ponky]

:lol

No mention of the game tonight? Our seasons done, yours is soon to follow.

who me? i mentioned the game in the appropriate thread....all seasons come to an end, doesn't mean i'll stop watching. anyway, i watch like 5-6 sports, there's always something else to go nutz over

[sribb43]

How are you 7ft and cant post up a guy 6'7 and allow him to push you out to the 3pt line in order to catch the ball. Dirk for KG at least he would punish SJAX down on the block

[trueD]

Oh, so Mav's season comes to an end and ponky will still be entertained. Thanks GAWD.

I :lol at your calling me a bandwaggoner!

The Mavs played terribly, the bigs contributed a whopping three points when they could be schooling smaller guys like Biedrins and Harrington but instead they're playing hot potato with the ball. JHO played alright, but then maybe I'm biased because he's my favorite guy on the court. Dirk was alright, not great, but then he didn't have help from anyone early on and lots of players sucked it up, afraid to drive in and get the calls. Rolling out the red carpet for Baron whenever he desired to go to the hole didn't help either. Unfortunate matchup with the Warriors who have mentally screwed with the Mavericks so props to them.

I :lol and you calling me a bandwaggoner!

umm, let me clarify. what i won't do is go and talk smack to all the teams i dislike when they get bumped in the playoffs. yes, i will continue to watch the nba playoffs to their finale but i'm not going to sit there and make fun of other teams where my team isn't concerned. i don't do that now with the spurs/nuggets game, i don't do that with the suns/lakers games, the bulls/heat games, even though i dislike several teams and their fans. my concern is with my team, the rest is just an exercise in mostly silent observation for me.

[trueD]

Cowboys suck.

i've never lived in dallas. i was referring to summer sports like tennis, soccer and cycling. i root for the raiders thanks to my brother, the titans because of young, the yankees from living in brooklyn and UT/A&M don't belong in the same sentence. you should learn to read other posts before making dumb comments. i've already stated my position in the other threads about where the mavs stand as far as this series goes. oh, btw, take care of your own spurs cliffjumpers before worrying about what mav fan is doing.

[J.T.]

Since I know I don't have the balls to follow up on a bet to ban myself from SpursTalk like SpursDynasty did, I'll bet that I won't shave my facial hair until the Finals are over if the Warriors win this series.

[Ronaldo McDonald]

Watching the Mavs choke should be mandatory tutelage for any to be pornstar

[ponky]

and post a pic? c'mon you have to post a pic if they win!

[Ronaldo McDonald]

Their regular season record was pretty much a fluke I guess

I've been saying they just don't have the leadership qualities you need on a championship team. In fact Golden State has more leadership and experience (BD and S-JAX and Nelly) and I think that's where they have a major psychological advantage.

Golden State in 6

Who on the Mavs has shown the ability, other than Dirk, to consistently (more than 1 year) prove that he/she can show up and play when it really matters?

Jason Terry was on the hawks, stackhouse was a nobody before Dallas who was on losing teams, Dampier was on terrible teams. the list goes on and on. These players played well together for ONE fucking year.

This team is overrated

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Hmm....that may be an overstatement. I think AJ's a good leader. But the tech's the Mavs got in this game, weren't exactly good marks for a team that's supposed to have the mental advantage. (As evidenced in last year's finals)

[trueD]

Biedrins is 6'11" and good for 1.7 BPG. Kinda far-fetched to mention the matchup with Biedrins when he is predominately a defensive post player. He scored 2 at the line and had 4 buckets, most were dunks, at least one was a putback. Not much your bigs can do about that, being that Dampier is the same height and about 100 pounds heavier :lol

Baron powered his way into the paint and yes, exposed Mav's lack of post defense, which is ritical when you get deep into the playoffs.

I'm not too keen on defensive matchups, I lose my place watching them. Who was Dirk guarding most of the night, did you notice? Well, I guess it doesn't matter, your whole team lost on the defensive end. Hopefully watching the tape will tell a story.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I think Dirk was guarding Pietrus??

[Ronaldo McDonald]

The Mavs are too hyped. Every Spurs fan knows how long it took for the spurs to actually gain some repsect. Why is everyone sucking the mavs cock after they had one good year? Let them win a championship...until then they haven't done SHIT.

Biedrins is alright if you let him just play his game and don't play and D on him. I had him on my fantasy team for a long time but dropped him due to his inconsistent play. The reason he was inconsistent was because there are teams out there who take him out of his game and play hard...the Mavs are obviously not doing that. I think Damp could easily outmatch Biedrins with a good feed. He's not going to be quicker than Biedrins but under the basket, he could easily outpower him for some points and maybe even get him in foul trouble....same goes for Diop.

I don't remember about Dirk, I was too caught up listening to Bill Walton and getting more ticked off. Doesn't matter though, game over, next game's on Sunday and in between there are some good games tomorrow.

DIRK has shown the ability? Did you watch last years finals. If there 1 guy on that team who curls up into a ball in the highest pressure situations, it's Dirk.

Your underestimating Biedrins Ponky. The kid can play. He's been growing up all season. He doesn't have the mental toughness (yet) to bring it every night, but he's come a long way, and I think he might just end up pretty good.

[loveThe23]

you're cool, trueD's just always been a mavs-hater...oh, and a stalker which is kind of weird but whatever

thanks right back at you, but i don't think she's exactly hating on the team, nor is Sanity.... but i guess the thought to kings fans (who have no one else to rely on but the warriors, i think) having them beat the mavs is sort of nice. i don't hate the mavs one bit, nor am i a hater of anyone, but it's just that it sucks not being in the playoffs, so some of us get a little pissy and excited at times you know? it'd probably be different if they were in the playoffs. but anyways, this IS my favorite series, it's really exciting, as i love watching the mavs and how they play. it's hard to know who's yet gonna win, as both teams are great in their own way. i think it's going to be a close series though.

lol, i love your avatar...hey, i'm rooting for the bulls in the east as well. i understand what you're saying about not being in the playoffs too, i've been a knicks fan a lot longer than i've been a mavs fan, since i was a little kid! enjoy the series, whatever happens.

I agree Biedrins will be a very good player. He's a star in the making. He's just too young right now.

[LA24]

The series is only 3 games old and you're acting
like it's already over ? This is obviously your first year watching the nba playoffs.

I still think the Mavs have the best shot at winning the title this year.

no i'm not, i think he's going to be a very good baller, i just think because of his youth that he's still inconsistent from game to game. i followed him all the time early on because like i said, he was on my fantasy team so i'm not dissing him, i just don't think he's always consistent at this point in time. i look forward to seeing more of him in the future and i was pissed off as hell (haha, can i blame him?) when i heard that dirk's german coach, holger, was helping biedrins with his terrible ft shooting

[TheSanityAnnex]

thanks right back at you, but i don't think she's exactly hating on the team, nor is Sanity....
:bang

[himat]

GS completely owns at the guard position, and Nellie has the advantage over Avery because he knows the habits of the Mavs players. Dallas has a huge advantage inside, but there best player Dirk still shoots instead of taking it to the rim strong.

I thought that Dallas would win the series even though the Warriors would put up a heck of a fight. I hope I am wrong, I like GS more than the Mavs.

[trueD]

Dirk was on SJax most of the time.

Thank ya. Dirk is a mediocre defender at best, and was quite busy on that end of the court if he was guarding Jackson. No wonder Dirk wasn't worth shit in the 2nd half.

[bdictjames]

I've never seen Dallas jack up so many airballs until that Game 3.

[trueD]

Dallas was totally discombobulated, every Maverick was balking. That probably won't be so next time.

[Ronaldo McDonald]

The series is only 3 games old and you're acting
like it's already over ? This is obviously your first year watching the nba playoffs.

I still think the Mavs have the best shot at winning the title this year.

In relation to this series their regular season record isn't indicative of anything. Golden State creates problems on the defensive end for the Mavs.

Al Harington pretty much is able to counter with his offense what dirk is able to bring offensively. He drives right by him consistently. When dirk is the only offensive advantage the mavs have against GS then the rest of the load is left for everyone else. They aren't responding. And it's because of what I have been saying all season: They haven't gotten over the psychological inhibition that is: They haven't done SHIT.

They don't have a mountain of success that they can rely on to give them that boost of confidence that they are in dire need for. But this isn't only a problem for the unit. almost every individual player on that team has hasn't proven that they are capable of winning: Stack, terry, dampier, George, Diop, Howard have all proven to be losers or haven't played significant roles on championship caliber teams--george comes to mind when I think of the latter.

[loveThe23]

lol, i love your avatar...hey, i'm rooting for the bulls in the east as well. i understand what you're saying about not being in the playoffs too, i've been a knicks fan a lot longer than i've been a mavs fan, since i was a little kid! enjoy the series, whatever happens.

haha. thanks, i really like it too. :p:

yeah the bulls are really awesome... i really think they got a strong group this year, last year they couldn't beat the heat for crap, but now they got Wallace and they're (imo) top guns in the east. the east is pretty exciting this year, too. really? yeah same with me with the bulls, since i was born in chicago and stuff.

oh, the knicks aren't in the playoffs this year... well maybe next year, you can root for the bulls then ahha but i know it's not the same, but cherish the moments while the mavs are in it cause it sucks not having a team to root for that you really favor.

yeah i'm glad you understand what i mean about not being in the playoffs, but it's cool, i got used to it. i'm done with the whining, i look lame. :lol
