Dallas vs Boston Gamethread!

[dallaskd]

Mavs- 109
Celtics- 81

[Armando]

Boston @ home in a big TNT game. I take Boston by 5 or 10. Especially with no Devin Harris.

[Armando]

Will Dirk guard KG?

[peskypesky]

Boston by 8

[peskypesky]

Then again, if Garnett and Ray Allen are questionable, you gotta give this one to Dallas.

True but if KG plays tomorrow the Celts should win the game. However given thier record if those guys are less then 100 percent I don't see Rivers risking more injuries. They don't gain anything if KG gets hurt again just to beat Dallas.

[Armando]

I can't wait for Boston's game on 2/22.

[ludda]

Boston wants to prove they can play a top West team and they're at home and on national TV.
Boston wins by 10+

-Mavs not too great on the road and are w/o Harris. And Brickhouse.
-KG is likely playing as is Rayella.

Shithouse is not playing?

[dallaskd]

Shithouse is not playing?

no hes being shipped out to new jersey in the kidd trade. :smokin

[endrity]

We win, whether KG or not plays we are still a better overall team. Josh goes off as they have nobody on him. Damp does a suprisingly good job on Garnett.

no you aren't. Josh will get shut down by Posey the mavs killer.......

[TDMVPDPOY]

hope the mavs win

KG and possy group are overrated with their overrated team record

I hope you are right, but I doubt it. This is a Boston win if KG and Ray play.

[Hemotivo]

Dallas 102
dirk (36pts)
Boston 97

[bostonguy]

It depends on how KG and Ray Allen are doing health wise and how aggressive Pierce is. Pierce is more than capable of going D-Wade/Baron Davis on the Mavs defense. If the big 3 are healthy and aggressive playing their game, Boston will win.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I'll be a mavs fan tonight.

[sribb43]

I'll be a mavs fan tonight.

and ill be a spurs fan on feb.10 when they visited boston..F' the C's and KG

[DubMcDub]

KG is out for sure according to the Boston Globe. Allen is a GT Decision.

I'll take the Mavs by single digits.

[shelshor]

Celtics--104
Motherless Calves--93

[J.T.]

I'll be a mavs fan tonight.

Me two.

[ludda]

Honestly, even with KG out, I could see the Mavs losing. Though I guess I will be rooting for the Mavs tonight.

That's not really a stretch. The Mavs have lost to teams this year that are worse than the Celtics minus KG.

Then again, so have the Spurs.

[sribb43]

KG must be afraid of the Dirkster....LOL the NBA switched this game to TNT after the trade. its was supposed to be Lakers @ Pistons


as for the game itself....


I can see it now, Pierce will have atleast 15 FTA against the Mavs

wouldnt surprise me if mavs dropped this one w/o KG...Mavs seem to feel sorry for other teams when there are missing a star player, i.e. Denver - Melo, Spurs - Parker, Indy - Oneal, Heat - Shaq/D-Wade,

[Tippecanoe]

watch out for number 9. hes about to get a triple double tonight

[Viva Las Espuelas]

and ill be a spurs fan on feb.10 when they visited boston..F' the C's and KGcome tomorrow, F' the mavs. always and forever, amen.

[DazedAndConfused]

Boston will lose this game big. Won't even be close

[nkdlunch]

KG is a pussy

but I'll be rooting for Celts, Mavs are in our conference

[crc21209]

DazedandConfused are you serious? Dallas is without Stackbricks and Devin "The Monkey" Harris. Even tho Boston is without KG i give them the edge, theyre at home. Boston up 27-20 after 1.

[td4mvp21]

I wish both teams were at full strength, it'd be a lot more interesting.

[Xylus]

I wish both teams could lose, but for seeding purposes, I'm going to root for Boston in this one. Even with Garnett out, their lineup is strong enough to take out the Mavs at home.

[ludda]

the mavs are cold tonight..aren't they a first quarter team? Loss.

[Tippecanoe]

I wish both teams were at full strength, it'd be a lot more interesting.

powe has been pretty hot during garnett's leave. but i know what you mean

[crc21209]

Man watchin Juwan Howard hack the hell out of Perkins and almost knock his head off reminds me of the whole Derek Anderson thing, I always hated that dirty fucker Howard.

[Tippecanoe]

this is actually turning into a great game

[mikejones99]

dirk is getting traded

[StylisticS]

I wish both teams could lose, but for seeding purposes, I'm going to root for Boston in this one. Even with Garnett out, their lineup is strong enough to take out the Mavs at home.

But according to Charles and Kenny, if we can't beat the Celtics w/o Kevin Garnett, we are not championship contenders. Nevermind that we are missing a key player in our offense. :rolleyes

[Kriz-Maxima]

Jason Terry sucks at PG

[td4mvp21]

But according to Charles and Kenny, if we can't beat the Celtics w/o Kevin Garnett, we are not championship contenders. Nevermind that we are missing a key player in our offense. :rolleyes

I don't think alot of announcers/analysts understand Harris' importance to the Mavs. He doesn't come close to equaling Kevin Garnett in terms of value to the team, but he is a very important part of their offense and defense.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

:tu


Having said that, I still think the Mavs should pull this game out.

If they don't, it's not the end of the world, but heading into this game they def. have the advantage

[ludda]

Charles is always ragging on the Mavs, its pretty funny but that statement was stupid. Mavs, Suns, Spurs, Pistons, Celtics have all lost to worst teams than the Cs without KG. Doesn't mean shit in the regular season.

[td4mvp21]

Do the Mavs shoot more threes than the Spurs? :lol It seems like they're doing that tonight!

[ShoogarBear]

Man, that was a beautiful fake by Pierce.

[BonnerDynasty]

How many layups is that guy going to miss tonight...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That blocking foul was the worst call of the night, wtf


I'd be pissed if I was a Mav fan


Great game.

[Behrooz24]

Dos minutos!

[Behrooz24]

Dirk the Defensive Specialist!

[Hank the Tank]

whats up with rondo doin that fake behind the back pass everytime?

GO CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously, it was cool the first 100 times but now it's just showboating.

plus, he never finishes the shot after the fake 90% of the time

[BonnerDynasty]

Wow. Now that was impressive. Hell of a rebound/putback.

[ClingingMars]

hell of a game

Rondo toying with the ponies

Wow...what a game!!!

[ClingingMars]

uh oh...boston has a chance to close it out...

[ducks]

dirk is choking
misses th erebound and shot

[Behrooz24]

Alls i want is no OT

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

This is a good game!

[ClingingMars]

this one ices it

[ducks]

dallas according to charles barkely are not contenders they can not beat boston without kg

[ClingingMars]

ITS OVAH!!!

-Mars

[hater]

Lmao

[TDfan2007]

nice choke job by Dirk at the end. Let a PG get a board over you, then miss a relatively easy layup over the smaller defender at the other end...

[monosylab1k]

there's no way Jason Kidd could have helped us this game.



nope, that Devean George guy is just far too valuable a bench player to give him up in a trade.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I love seeing the coverage of the Boston band wagon...seems like a real treat for them finally.

[Hank the Tank]

im hopin suns/spurs is just as exciting and close as pistons/lakers and mavs/celtics.

[Warlord23]

:lmao at Dirk getting owned by Rondo there and then blowing the layup

Rebounds: Dirk 11, Rondo 12

[milkyway21]

Mavs- 109
Celtics- 81didn't happen

10 sec left 90-94 Celtics :oops

[TampaDude]

Thanks, Boston! :toast

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lmao shot of the Dallas bench

The HEat should have never gotten rid of the lucky charm in James Posey.

that sucks, horrible execution down the stretch by Dallas, allowing a turnover.. Reminds me of our guys :depressed

[monosylab1k]

Thank goodness we still have Diop & George on the team. They were invaluable tonight. No way Jason Kidd would have helped us more than those guys.

[TDfan2007]

wow...total collapse by Dallas down the stretch there. And the Celts didn't even have KG...wow.

[TampaDude]

Celtics 96

Mavs 90

Fuck both teams... :lol

[ludda]

Nice fucking pass Terry.

[hater]

this makes SPurs loss tonight better

[monosylab1k]

Not having Devin Harris was obviously tougher on us than the Celtics not having Garnett. We were definitely at a bigger disadvantage.

What with Harris being 10000000000000000000000000x better than Jason Kidd and all. We were just really shorthanded tonight.

[Tippecanoe]

rajon rondo
14 pts, 12 reb, 4 ast

not bad for a PG

[ludda]

Mavs problems:
-No one is clutch, Dirk had 31 and carried them after half, but Josh Howard was invisible as usual and Terry sucks haha
-No points in the paint

Another early playoff exit!

[bostonguy]

No KG...No problem! James Posey giving Dallas flashbacks of the Miami series. Paul Pierce is that fucking good when he is constantly aggressive. He was getting to the rim in the 4th. Pierce is more than capable of taking games over hence why this is his team. Great heart these guys showed tonight. Beating the Mavs without KG is impressive. :lmao :lmao :lmao Yeah Celtics have no bench.

[monosylab1k]

I'm just glad we don't have that over-the-hill fuck Jason Kidd. Trenton Hassell is a far better option on the court.

Can a San Antonio fan really justify talking shit right now?


Ah, I couldn't even watch the final 1:20 after Devean took that 3 when we were down 2.

I've watched a couple of Boston games on league pass and man, their local announcers don't even lick the players balls as much as the national media does. That shit got old - fast.

This was also a fun emotional win right before the superbowl. Celtics dont play until Tuesday @ Cleveland. Also if you want to talk about show boating, Jason Terry does that little retarded soaring act.

Spurs would be lucky to crack 70 against Boston.

Hard-fought game by the Mavs. Howard with his usual disappearing act. Harris and his speed would have helped against the Celtics fronting the PGs just past half-court. Dampier picked a hell of a night to suck balls. Looking forward to the next time they meet.

Oh, and sit the fuck down Scott Pollard. You're lucky to be collecting a paycheck anymore.

6 points 7 rebs in 14 minutes, not so much sucking balls there.....

mavs lost bc avery went to small ball and allowed a 6ft pg to lead the game in rebs, also Powe had a few key rebounds in the 4th...if Damp or Diop is in their, who knows what happens

[bostonguy]

I'm shipping off to Boston woahhhhhhhhhhh!

[ludda]

I wanted Mavs to win this one, but you guys have horrible ball movement especialy with Terry running the point. There were several possessions where he corner himself and then threw a desperation pass to someone for a contested outside shot with 1 sec left. And then big ole Dirk couldn't even secure a rebound over a midget. :lol And I was about to give him props for showing up in the 4th. Also Josh howard is not an allstar. And the Mavs will not win this year. :)

Proof once again that Terry doesn't need to be running the point.

Rondo had a great move and position for that rebound. It wasn't like he was underneath Dirk the whole time and outjumped him for it.

Josh Howard joins Manu Ginobili as a non-All Star. Big deal.

Ginobli doesnt score 17 in the first half and only 2 points after halftime. (A usual occurence) Thats a big difference.

All you said was that Howard wasn't an All-Star. Neither is Ginobili. Points, quarters, no matter. But you're right - Howard also wouldn't go 0-5 with 0 points in the first half against a mediocre defensive team like the Suns.

[ludda]

:rolleyes
God forbid someone say something bad about the precious Mavs. Maybe if Howard stepped it up for the Mavs in teh 2nd half, they wouldnt always collapse in the 4th. That was my point.

[BonnerDynasty]

I think our ball movement is so good that we have no use for a guy like Jason Kidd.

Yeah but at the same time, Dirk completely half-assed that rebound attempt. He thought he was all alone and didn't see Rondo until the last second. He got out-hustled big time.

LOL Dallas and PHX showing the world why they will never win a ring. Nowitzki getting out rebounded by freaking Rajon Rondo and Amare missing 3 crucial free throws down the stretch.

When your star players are mentally weak your team will never win a ring.

Pathetic ass game by the Mavs. Once again they choke in a big game towards the end.

No excuse for a little fucking 6'1 170 pound guy to get a rebound AND a lay up at the end.

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

They need to trade for somebody with a pair of balls in these types of games or they're going nowhere in the playoffs this year.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

wow, it's like all the west powerhouse fans have been going crazy lately

[dirk4mvp]

wow, it's like all the west powerhouse fans have been going crazy lately


Spur fan especially. Spurs have been sucking so much ass lately, when the Mavs lose you guys go batshit crazy.

[1Parker1]

The biggest problem for the Mavs is they have no one who can create their own shot during clutch-time. Dirk can make clutch shots, I don't doubt that...but problem is more often than not the Mavs try to dump the ball into Dirk in the 4th quarter and try to have him create his own shot/or for others...a la what Duncan does for the Spurs. However, Dirk isn't that type of player. He's much more better at a catch and shoot.

Dallas desperately needs a playmaker...Howard for all his greatness is a 1/2 half type player..almost always disappears or slows down in the 2nd half. Terry constantly takes bad shots for them. The closest thing to a playmaker the Mavs have you can argue is Harris...as he can pass out after the defense collapses on him. But he's young, turnover prone, and not the greatest passer with good court vision.

This is why I argue that the Mavs would actually be instantly contenders and feared if they got Kidd. He is exactly the type of playmaker/pg the Mavs desperately need.

nah, he's old and sucks. His ability to see the floor & create shot opportunities for others is of no use to us. I'd much rather see Dirk make awkward attempts to back a guy down for 14 seconds and then spin & chunk the ball out of bounds.

/sarcasm

Great analysis. I thought the game was lost on Terry (obviously Dirk getting punked by Rondo was great) but wannabe punk ass Terry is so inept at running the point that I was laughing the whole time. Mavs would do good to get rid of him.

[Kriz-Maxima]

That Rondo rebound...Dirk should feel shame.

[monosylab1k]

That Rondo rebound...Dirk should feel shame.
Absolutely he should.

I understand that he probably thought he was all alone, but that's no excuse. In that situation, with what was on the line, you have to give max effort. it doesn't matter if nobody is within 20 feet of you, you give max effort.

Just another example of how the Mavs still have not learned one effing thing from their previous playoff & crunch-time failures.

[ShoogarBear]

I don't understand a lot of Spur fans...we have been playing horrible lately and we get a nice win..but as soon as Dallas loses a game..a ton of them come out and start talking shit, for no particular reason.

It would be like a lot of Dallas fans talking shit after the Seattle game.

Pretty pathetic if you ask me...it must be something about living in San Antonio that makes Spurs delusionalUh, seems you haven't been around long enough.

Some of us talk it about Dallas win or lose, 24/7.

:smokin

[mardigan]

That Rondo rebound...Dirk should feel shame.
No doubt, how the fuck are you going to let a 6-1 point guard out muscle the game winning rebound away when your a 7 footer, and then be so shocked by it that you let said point guard score an easy layup?

[The Nba Is Rigged]

Uh, seems you haven't been around long enough.

Some of us talk it about Dallas win or lose, 24/7.

:smokin

Dude I bet if the Mavs had won you would have said this game doesn't mean anything and it's only january. But since they lost its time for you to rub it in, well I can't blame you I also enjoyed it when you guys lost to the F'kn SUPERSONICS LMAO!

[lurker]

dallas according to charles barkely are not contenders they can not beat boston without kg
Congrats to the Spurs on joining the Mavericks as non-contenders. :toast

[LakeShow]

:lol

[gmanrulz]

did the mavs lose without dirk?

[lurker]

The Mavericks lost without their starting point guard and one of their most important guys off the bench.


Why does that sound familiar?

[gmanrulz]

mavs starting pg isnt their leading scorer

[lurker]

Unless the Spurs were playing without Timmy, they had their leading scorer.

[BonnerDynasty]

[dallaskd]

the spurs and mavs are both more legit contenders than Boston. as i discovered last year and it seems every year....the regular season is bullshit.

duncans the leading scorer by like .5 who cares.

[The_Game]

the spurs and mavs are both more legit contenders than Boston. as i discovered last year and it seems every year....the regular season is bullshit.

You base this on what exactly? Boston have everything a title team needs. Good guard play, great defense, a quailty big man and decent depth. they are legit contenders and may well win it all

[BonnerDynasty]

Honestly, I don't even think about Boston or Detroit. Not at all.

Spurs have a gigantic climb to the Western finals in itself. It's ridiculous how stacked this conference is.

[dallaskd]

Quote me, THE CELTICS WILL NOT WIN THE 2008 NBA TITLE. They may get there but i honestly dont see that happening either. The spurs(and most top west teams) would eat them alive in the playoffs
