Mavs VS Clippers....

[icem]

so jason kidd has 25 pts, and 1 assist right now and the mavs are winning....

he has officially become devin harris.... oh the irony

lol @ that trade

[mavsfan1000]

Avery wanted Harris to pass more and now Avery wants Kidd to shoot more. Fuck Avery.

[lurker]

We need Kidd to shoot more when Dirk comes back. Him being just a passer clearly isn't going to get them anywhere but the lottery.

[The Nba Is Rigged]

Fuck Avery Johnson. I just ordered my Fire Avery T-shirt from fireavery.com

[monosylab1k]

Congratulations to Josh Howard for showing up in the 2nd half. Lord knows it's tough to do that against the Clippers.

[mavsfan1000]

Fuck Avery Johnson. I just ordered my Fire Avery T-shirt from fireavery.com
Nice. I rather just mention it 100 times on the forums. :D

[monosylab1k]

It's always nice to squeak out a win against the Brand-less, Kaman-less, Tim Thomas-less, Cuttino Mobley-less Clippers.

Winning is deodorant.

[monosylab1k]

I wonder if the Mavs could keep it close against the Clippers if they lost Dirk, Damp, Howard, & Terry and the Clippers were only missing Brand.

Okay, I'll stop being a Negative Nancy now. seeing a W is nice.

[The Nba Is Rigged]

God if you are listening please show some love to the Dallas Mavericks

[monosylab1k]

If Dirk pulls a Willis Reed on Wednesday night, we're going to the Finals.

[JK2]

he has officially become devin harris.... oh the irony
and you have officially become a moron. Kidd played like he had to against the Clippers without Dirk, Stack and a poor shooting Jet.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

When does Dirk come back? Any word?

[mavsfan1000]

Bass with 0 Rebounds while Fazekas gets 10 rebounds. Whose great idea was to cut Fazekas?

I guess you missed where he got the ball stolen from him after all 10 rebounds.

[mavsfan1000]

Bass 3 to and Fazekas 3 to.

[Findog]

When does Dirk come back? Any word?

No idea. Some people are optimistically saying Wednesday against the Warriors, but I think that is really pie in the sky thinking. Most likely next week after we get stomped by the Lakers and Suns.

[monosylab1k]

Bass 3 to and Fazekas 3 to.
I can understand why you feel the need to dump on Bass every chance you get. After all, you're the one who said Michael Finley sucked.

[Findog]

If Dirk pulls a Willis Reed on Wednesday night, we're going to the Finals.

I wonder if he could get a needle, gut it out versus Golden State and then rest against the Suns and Lakers. We need him back for the homies against Seattle and Utah (terrible road team), and then we have a decent shot to sweep the Pacific Northwest doubleheader. And NOLA might have clinched their seed and have nothing to play for in the season finale.

[mavsfan1000]

What does Bass have to do with Finley and no I didn't say Finley sucked. We're not going there again.

[monosylab1k]

You certainly did say that. It proves your judgement on members of the Dallas Mavericks really can't ever be trusted. What kind of Mavs fan would talk shit about Michael Finley?

[Findog]

Bass is definitely a nice player and has plenty of upside. There's no need to dump on him. Problem is, with Dirk as our PF, we need to get those post points from the center position. And given how difficult it will be to resign him, it might be prudent to trade him now to get that post-scoring option at the 5.

jamaal magloire is the one you should be looking at not brandon bass... fazekas was cut to make room for magloire

and besides bass has been a contributor through out the season so one bad game doesnt make fazekas suddenly look like a good idea.

wtf? he was cut to sign and trade kvh.

Getting a 1 game lead on both GS & Denver, plus a tiebreaker over the Warriors would be crucial.

What worries me about the NOLA game is that it may decided who gets the 8-seed. I guess it depends on who the Hornets would rather face, Dallas or Denver/GS. If they want the Mavs they probably tank it, but if not they'll do whatever it takes to knock them out.

The problem with Bass is he can't rebound. You have to rebound well to be effective at Power Forward and especially Center. If he was playing Small Forward, it wouldn't be such a issue.

oh my mistake i thought we cut him to make room for magloire but my point is still vaild.

[mavsfan1000]

Yawn. I said Finley sucked in his last 2 years as a mav. Overall he was good to great player as a mav. Get that in your skull since you have such a selective memory.

[monosylab1k]

oh my mistake i thought we cut him to make room for magloire but my point is still vaild.
well swap out Magloire for Juwan Howard and you kinda have a point. But considering Keith Van Fazekas sucks anyways, it really doesn't matter.

I'm sure the Hornets would rather play GS/Den. Before this year, they hadn't beaten us since 1999, this team if it could ever put it together could be pretty stout and return to the form of the past two years, and we have way more playoff experience than they do. Right now, the Hornets are better than us, but you just never know once you get into a playoff series what will happen.

We can't lose a tiebreaker to GS, but off the top of my head, I think we'll have a better conference record, since we play them an even # of games.

[monosylab1k]

You backtracked when every member of Mavericks Nation told you what an idiot you were for shitting on Finley's Mav career. That was when you changed it to his last 2 years.

[mavsfan1000]

No I said that Finley's good to great years didn't matter as the mavs were a horrible team and scoring points on a bad team isn't as impressive as scoring points on a championship level team. Somehow you got the idea that I thought he sucked but he just wasn't there when we needed him the most.

[monosylab1k]

No I said that Finley's good to great years didn't matter as the mavs were a horrible team
Spoken like someone who wasn't a fan back then.

[Findog]

It just all depends on how soon Dirk comes back. I think the GS game on Wednesday is going to go a long way towards sealing our playoff fate.

Denver remaining:

Sac
@ Sea
@ LAC
@ GS
@ Utah
vs Hou
vs Mem

GS:

@ SAS
@ Dal
@ Mem
@ NO
vs Sac
vs Den
vs LAC
@ Phx
vs Sea

Dal:

GS
@ LAL
@ PHX
Sea
Uta
@ Por
@ Sea
NO

Dirk really has to make it back I think by the homie against Seattle. Without him, I don't think we win the next three.

[mavsfan1000]

Spoken like someone who wasn't a fan back then.
Yes you are right about that. So what?

[monosylab1k]

If Dallas can beat Golden State, then win their last 5.....they should be in.

Pretty shaky odds even with Dirk, impossible without him.

[monosylab1k]

Yes you are right about that. So what?
So who did you root for back then?

[mavsfan1000]

So who did you root for back then?
Da Bulls. I was on the Jordan wagon back than. Kinda a letdown to go from the super clutch Bulls to the super choke mavs. :rolleyes

[monosylab1k]

GS has a really tough schedule looking at it. If Dirk can get back and they can nut up just a little bit, Dallas should be in with the 8 seed. If they actually figure some shit out, they'll have the 7.

[Findog]

I see Denver winning their next three, losing the two roadies to GS and Utah, then winning their last two. So they go 5-2 to finish.

Assuming Dirk comes back Wednesday against the Warriors, I say we beat GS, lose to LA and Phx, win the next four, and then it will come down to what NOLA does in the season finale. We'll be 5-2 going into the season finale.

I say GS loses to San Antonio, loses to the Dirk-fortified Mavs, beats Dirk-less Mavs, beats Memphis, loses to NOLA, wins their next three home games, loses at Phoenix, and then beats Seattle. So they finish 5-4 or 6-3.

Bottom line for us we need Dirk back no later than the home game against Seattle or we're done.

[Findog]

They'll be on the 2nd of a b2b, but I don't think we can do it without him.

Wow that's fucked up, I thought you were a mavs fan?

[mavsfan1000]

I am now and for awhile since Jordan and company are gone. I know I'm not the only one that rooted for the bulls in the 90's.

[monosylab1k]

I'm guessing Bulls fans did too.

[mavsfan1000]

I'm guessing Bulls fans did too.
I'm guessing fans from many other city's as well. So I guess you didn't root for them?

[monosylab1k]

I'm guessing fans from many other city's as well.
Those weren't Bulls fans.

[mavsfan1000]

Those weren't Bulls fans.
Well they rooted for them. That counts for something. I'm glad I don't have to live by the miserable rules that you can't root for multiple teams through the years. If it makes you feel better by doing so, go right ahead.

[monosylab1k]

Well they rooted for them. That counts for something.
Not really.

[monosylab1k]

Well they rooted for them. That counts for something. I'm glad I don't have to live by the miserable rules that you can't root for multiple teams through the years. If it makes you feel better by doing so, go right ahead.
So what team will you be rooting for when the Mavs fall back into mediocrity? Any potential teams on the radar yet?

[mavsfan1000]

The Celtics are my backup team if the Mavs fall but the mavs are by far my favorite team in the league right now. I can't tell you about 10 years down the road.

[monosylab1k]

Well it's a good thing Kori can change your name for you.

I'll be looking forward to seeing blazersfan1000 posting in 2011.

[mavsfan1000]

Maybe I'll stick with the Mavs through the hard times this time around. I don't know if my heart can leave the Mavs.

[monosylab1k]

yeah

[BUMP]

i think we can beat LAL with or without Dirk. if you guys have been paying close attention, you will have noticed how badly LAL has been struggling. losses to MEmphis and Charlotte at home, then an overtime win at home vs Washington. Dallas would probably sweep the three of them

They've been struggling bc Gasol is out, and he's due back this week. Without him or Bynum, they're the same crap-ass team they've been since Shaq left. Pity we couldn't get them when they were shorthanded.

not to mention that beating the mavs is one of kobe's pet projects.

[monosylab1k]

:lol

[clambake]

dirk or not, recent history suggests the mavs will lose 5 of 8.

[JamStone]

At least the Mavs are awesome against shitty teams

[san antonio spurs]

I'm glad to see mavs fans interested in their team's upcoming games and not crying or scouting the NCAA
