[stretch]

mavs are going to FUCK the hornets UP

Mavs 104

Hornets 92

[clambake]

mavs get rattled by the noise in game 1.

[mavs>spurs2]

This game is gonna be wild..

[Findog]

Hornets 137
Mavs 65

[Findog]

Son Volt is playing at the Main Street Arts Festival at 9:15 tonight. Do I tivo the entire game, watch the first and tivo the second, or hope like hell the game is over no later than 8:45?

[mavsfan1000]

1 and done my friend. Jason Kidd is the reason.

[Holmes_Fans]

mavs get rattled by the noise in game 1.
The noise? You know they are playing New Orleans, not Golden State. There might be 17000 people at the game.

[Findog]

1 and done my friend. Jason Kidd is the reason.

That being the case, you won't watch the games and post, right? We'd appreciate it.

[mavsfan1000]

That being the case, you won't watch the games and post, right? We'd appreciate it.
Alright than. See you in the offseason. That's right. We don't have an offseason when we traded our picks. We're totally fucked.

[Findog]

Alright than. See you in the offseason. That's right. We don't have an offseason when we traded our picks. We're totally fucked.

Hey, the season's over according to you. What are you still doing here? Why don't you go get caught up on your netflix queue?

[Findog]

lol, a mid-twenties pick. I'll never post at SpursTalk again if that pick becomes an All-Star for New Jersey.

[mavsfan1000]

You seriously think we would win a championship this year despite all the great teams right now? :rollin

[Findog]

You seriously think we would win a championship this year despite all the great teams right now? :rollin

I didn't say anything about winning a title. If you want to claim a title team as your own, there's plenty of room on the Celtics bandwagon.

I'm a Mavericks fan. That's the difference between me and you.

[E20]

Let's go Mavs. :clap

So based your opinion, you think it worth all that risk to trade our future for Jason Kidd? Unless we win a championship this year, I don't think it is worth the risk.

[Findog]

I love the Suns and Spurs going to double OT. Let them beat the crap out of each other for 7 games.

[Findog]

So based your opinion, you think it worth all that risk to trade our future for Jason Kidd? Unless we win a championship this year, I don't think it is worth the risk.

I'm not even talking about the Kidd trade. But since you're just as obsessed as DaDakota, if Devin Harris and two picks late in the first round = future, then I'm more than willing to part with it for Jason Kidd.

I'm just not throwing in the towel on their ability to beat the Hornets. There's no need for you to watch the games or post since you know how it's gonna go. Have you seen The Wire or Battlestar Galactica? Put that in your netflix queue since the Mavs have already gone fishing.

[Findog]

Alright, I'm going to Main Street Arts Festival and watching the game on Tivo later. I'm out.

Yep since we traded for a player 10 years older, you would think we would be better. Oh well. Fuck it.

[Allanon]

If "David" can't hit those shots, the Hornets are done for.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I don't think the Mavs have a chance in this series. I'm just hoping for some exciting games to watch.

[mavs>spurs2]

I don't think the Mavs have a chance in this series. I'm just hoping for some exciting games to watch.

Same thing with the Pistons/Sixers series. I'm just hoping AI doesn't destroy you guys too badly so I have some entertaining games to watch.

[Allanon]

I don't think the Mavs have a chance in this series. I'm just hoping for some exciting games to watch.

Hahah, I have it in reverse, I don't think the Hornets have a chance this series, I'm just hoping for some exciting games to watch :D

[TampaDude]

Mavs in 6...book it...

[Allanon]

Mavs in 6...book it...

...or less :D

[mavs>spurs2]

OMG that Bass dunk was sick

[Pistons < Spurs]

OMG that Bass dunk was sick

yeah, that was pretty nasty!

[Amare_32]

I don't see much of a fight from the Hornets. The Mavs are a big run away from putting this game away.

[Phil Hellmuth]

hornets just seem to be an easy of a team to figure out in a 7 game series. dallas wins this series in 6.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Nice to see Josh Howard going strong. We all know this shit wont be happening in the 4th quarter so we gotta take what we can get from a 1st-3rd quarter low iq player like him.

[mavsfan1000]

Hornets will come back to win this game just like what the Spurs did to the Suns. Book it.

[mavs>spurs2]

Hornets will come back to win this game just like what the Spurs did to the Suns. Book it.

Shut the fuck up douche

[mavsfan1000]

Shut the fuck up douche
I will when the mavs prove me wrong.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

With all the respect and love I have for Dirk, Id suck an old mans cock in front of hot chicks and then let him take a big ole shit right in my mouth where id fucking chew it down and swollow it if it meant getting Tim Duncan on our team. I'd throw Dirk also in that deal. God damn the things id do to have a legend like that.:pctoss:madrun

[mavs>spurs2]

I will tonight.


K.

Seriously I don't think the Mavericks are winning the championship either, but damn at least they've given us the smallest bit of hope these last couple weeks. I at least want to wait untill we're losing the series to go into panic mode.

[1Parker1]

This is like the Mavs dream first round matchup. A playoff team with no experience facing a Mavericks team who's core has played together for 3 years now (minus kidd).

[Phil Hellmuth]

This is like the Mavs dream first round matchup. A playoff team with no experience facing a Mavericks team who's core has played together for 3 years now (minus kidd).

Experience? what's that?

sincerely,

2007 Golden State Warriors

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, I agree. I think the Hornets' lack of experience is going to do them in. I think it will go 7, though.

[Pistons < Spurs]

:clap Go Hornets!!!

[LakeShow]

:vomit:

[Pistons < Spurs]

Big German Flopper.

[01Snake]

Nice flop

[Shaolin-Style]

Dirk is such a wimp.

[Amare_32]

Oscar worthy flop that was Manu like

[ShoogarBear]

A pitiful attempt to get into somebody's sig.

[SAtown]

Hornets PA announcer sucks harder than the Mavs guy. How fucking annoying

And yes, Stan Kelly is the worst, but at least he doesn't sound like Ric Flair.

[ShoogarBear]

Holy crap!!!!!!!!

[Phil Hellmuth]

paul storming back, but I think Dallas makes another run shortly.

[1Parker1]

Wow. Chris Paul's competitive will is pretty high up there for a guy playing in his first playoff game.

[Pistons < Spurs]

New Orleans +9 in this qtr.

Looks like they're finally starting to settle down.

[boutons_]

CP is sucking air, grabbing his shorts.
ain't he in shape at this point?

3rd great Game1 today.

[StylisticS]

We have such stupid players with a clueless coach at times. Why Jones and Juwan Howard was on the court at the same time for so long is beyond me. And Stack and Howard shooting stupid jumpers when they had wide open lanes just adds to the stupidity.

[Amare_32]

Hornets PA announcer sucks harder than the Mavs guy. How fucking annoying

And yes, Stan Kelly is the worst, but at least he doesn't sound like Ric Flair.

Thats actually a recorded WOO from Flair they play. Kelly has nothing on the Heat's PA. Wow I am thankful I won't have to hear him screeching Wade's name.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

A pitiful attempt to get into somebody's sig.

Fuck yourself. That an attempt to get into somebodys sig. That's how fucking great I think Duncan. Go get a basketball and shove it straight up your candyass fucko!

[boutons_]

Hornets 34% vs 46%, only -3 pts

[ShoogarBear]

Somebody forgot their meds today.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Maverick meltdown in effect....

[ShoogarBear]

CP is sucking air, grabbing his shorts.
ain't he in shape at this point?

3rd great Game1 today.

Yeah, Paul really looks like crap out there. :lol

[mavsfan1000]

What a surprise. I called this at halftime. Mavs are a bunch of pussies that will choke a lead.

[Phil Hellmuth]

yep, same old mavs LOL giving up big leads!

[Spuradicator]

Good game so far. Go Dallas.

[mavsfan1000]

Suns got screwed by the refs. Mavs getting screwed by choking.

[Pistons < Spurs]

:clap

36-20 in the 3rd.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I don't think he beat the buzzer.

[SAtown]

Thats actually a recorded WOO from Flair they play. Kelly has nothing on the Heat's PA. Wow I am thankful I won't have to hear him screeching Wade's name.

Gotcha, thanks :tu

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Mavs just in a funk. Comon you fucking champions lets get down for our fucking crown!:lobt::lobt:

[Indazone]

haha, Jason Kidds stat line so far tonight. Not far off what I predicted. 7 pts 7 rebounds 7 assists. Very Raferlike numbers lol

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Not worried. They are just being tested.

[StylisticS]

Avery pulls Dirk and puts in George?:rollin:rollin

[ShoogarBear]

WTF, Howard?

[1Parker1]

Ohhh Shit. Mavs were up 12 at halftime. Now they're down 8 with 8 left in the 4th.

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, Howard almost did it again!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Looks like I can go cook some food now. This one's over.

[Amare_32]

Well so much for this being a dream series for the Mavs.

[1Parker1]

Well so much for this being a dream series for the Mavs.

:lol Oops, did I jinx it?

:angel

[resistanze]

Man, they're getting their SHIT pushed in.

[ShoogarBear]

Good gravy, Stackhouse blows.

[boutons_]

Mavs have gone dead cold, amazing.

[1Parker1]

If the Mavs lose this series, they really need to consider just blowing up the entire roster. Hornets are a good team, but very inexperienced. Things like that matter a lot in the playoffs, esp for a veteran team like the Mavs.

[picnroll]

Why does Dirk fall down on 90% of the plays?

[1Parker1]

Mavs have gone dead cold, amazing.

Kinda like the Spurs...:lol

[Phil Hellmuth]

why didn't avery do more of that double trap action on CP3 this game like the game several days back?

[lurker]

Another game, another choke.

[mavsfan1000]

Fuck you Avery for putting Stackhouse and no center out there so long. Fucking blow up this team including Kidd.

[ShoogarBear]

What a collapse.

Still think the Mavs will come back to win game 2. I can see the Hornets relaxing.

[1Parker1]

CP3 Deserves the MVP, I don't care if the lakers have the best record in the league or if Kobe is "the best player in the game" which after watching Duncan today we all know he's not.

What CP3 is doing right now is unheard of. Average 20,10, and 2 steals in the regular season. And now willing his team to a win in Game 1 after they were down 12 at halftime.

[Amare_32]

Could I be wrong? Can the Hornets actually win this series?

[mavsfan1000]

It's against grandpa Kidd. I wouldn't put too much into it.

[O-Factor]

CP3 is the MVP

[1Parker1]

33 points, 10 assists, 1 TO for CP3. Hornets up 13 with 3 minutes left.

[mavsfan1000]

Could I be wrong? Can the Hornets actually win this series?
Yep you are wrong. This team lost what made it great. Shotblocking, youth, rebounding, and points in the paint.

[Amare_32]

Mvp Kg

[1Parker1]

It's against grandpa Kidd. I would put too much into it.

I don't care who it's against. Defense is a team effort. Either way, CP3 has done this to numerous teams, including the Spurs, this season. It's nothing new. He seriously took his team to a whole new level and he's given new confidence to guys like West, Chandler, and Peja.

If Kobe hadn't gotten Pau Gasol gift wrapped to him, I bet he'd still be bitching about a trade right about now.

[mavsfan1000]

Mvp Kg
Wrong. Pierce and KG cancel each other out.

[monosylab1k]

Yep you are wrong. This team lost what made it great. Shotblocking, youth, rebounding, and points in the paint.

For the record this guy is a Bulls fan.

Blowing up the entire roster eh? Well, let's start at the coaching position. That part where he had Juwon Howard and Eddie Jones on the court at the same times for so long in the 2nd quarter makes me laugh. He makes stupid ass substitutions.

[monosylab1k]

Fire Avery, get a big 2-guard, and get Josh Howard the fuck out of town, and this team is back in the top 4 of the West next season.

[Amare_32]

Wrong. Pierce and KG cancel each other out.


I don't agree. I think KG's impact goes beyond numbers. Thats why I think he deserves to be MVP or at least Defensive player of the year.

[1Parker1]

I don't agree. I think KG's impact goes beyond numbers. Thats why I think he deserves to be MVP or at least Defensive player of the year.


He's going to get DPOY. Celtics managed just fine without KG when he went out with that abdomen strain.

[Phil Hellmuth]

mavs missing Diop for defense quickness/rebounding below?

[mavsfan1000]

For the record this guy is a Bulls fan.
I'm a Mavs fan. See my name?

[1Parker1]

:lmao What the hell was that exchange between West and Dirk about?

I actually almost feel bad for Dirk. Almost.

[monosylab1k]

I'm a Mavs fan. See my name?

What team were you rooting for a decade ago?

Not the Mavs.

[Phil Hellmuth]

:lmao What the hell was that exchange between West and Dirk about?

I actually almost feel bad for Dirk. Almost.

:lol:lol:lol:lol

Dirk looked SHOOK.

[monosylab1k]

Soft, mentally weak, and poorly coached is not a way to get through the NBA playoffs.

[01Snake]

Game over

[mavsfan1000]

What team were you rooting for a decade ago?

Not the Mavs.
What team am I rooting for now? Mavs. Nothing else needs to be said and I bet Findog $1000 that I wouldn't leave the mavs and become another teams fan. I can still criticize the mavs to death though. :D

[Indazone]

Jason Kidd 11 9 and 9

He's my hero a bona fide All-Star

[Jason_Terry]

Fuck everybody on this team except for Dirk.

What the fuck did Howard, Terry, and Stackhouse even suit up for. Get rid of these goddamn no show scrubs and get Dirk some real help for next year.

[Crookshanks]

Hornets have scored 61 points so far in the 2nd half - I guess there's no D in _allas again!

[Kriz-Maxima]

New Orleans keeps impressing me.

[BonnerDynasty]

How you going to let West tap you on the chin like that.

Where's the nut puncher when you need him?

[VaSpursFan]

the mavs are so fragile its not even funny. they really needed this game to give them some confidence but they just got their asses handed to them.

[Stabbin' Cabin]

Dirk disappeared in the second half. I am absolutely shocked.

[monosylab1k]

If Dirk retaliates he faces a suspension. He was smart for letting West get away with it.

now WHEN elimination is imminent, I hope Dirk has the balls the go fuck West up for that shit. Start a big fucking brawl if you have to.

[Amare_32]

How you going to let West tap you on the chin like that.

Where's the nut puncher when you need him?

In all fairness who knows what Dirk said to him.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

What team am I rooting for now? Mavs. Nothing else needs to be said and I bet Findog $1000 that I wouldn't leave the mavs and become another teams fan. I can still criticize the mavs to death though. :D

Told you in the other forum your team was going to get their asses handed to them even while they were up in the first half. I still like them to win it in 7 but they are going to have to take the next one.

[Amare_32]

Dirk disappeared in the second half. I am absolutely shocked.

Yeah :lmao

[monosylab1k]

Dirk scored a shitload in the 2nd half what the fuck are you dumbfucks talking about

[Crookshanks]

What's funny is that even though NO was the #2 seed, they were NOT the favorites in this game! :nope I guess those young, inexperienced guys didn't know they were supposed to lose this game! :rollin

[lurker]

Remember when Tim Thomas called Dirk a pussy? I hope Dirk responds like that during game 2. And if the rest of the Mavs would stop being useless, that would be nice too.

[JK2]

What's funny is that even though NO was the #2 seed, they were NOT the favorites in this game! :nope I guess those young, inexperienced guys didn't know they were supposed to lose this game! :rollin
what the fuck are you talking about? the hornets were huge favorites in Vegas.

[DespЏrado]

Damn the Mavs are choking a little earlier every year...

[mavs>spurs2]

He's going to get DPOY. Celtics managed just fine without KG when he went out with that abdomen strain.

I'm sorry they may have pulled together and persevered without him for a short time, but they are still a lottery team without KG coming to town.

[Amare_32]

I'm sorry they may have pulled together and persevered without him for a short time, but they are still a lottery team without KG coming to town.


If it had been just Pierce and Jesus Shuttlesworth at best the Celts are one and done in the playoffs. With KG they are the favorites to win it all.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Josh Howard is a piece of shit. Might as well replace Howard with Antoine Wright. You literally get a different result...somekind of production in the 4th quarter rather than none. Josh Howard is a low iq scared choker! :flipoff:flipoff

[yeahone]

mavs are going to FUCK the hornets UP

Mavs 104

Hornets 92

score was rgiht teams were wrong

[angel_luv]

Hornets won????

Cherry on top of a sundae sweet day! :)

[1Parker1]

Hornets won????

Cherry on top of a sundae sweet day! :)


:lol

[ludda]

stand by my original prediction: Hornets in 6.

[Amare_32]

Devin Harris would have been a better matchup defensively on Paul then Kidd. I hope the trade was worth it. Anything short of the NBA Finals will make the trade a bust.

[Don Quixote]

I am so looking forward to the Hornets advancing! No offense to the Mavs -- they're still a very good team and could yet pull out this series.

But I want to be there in the Hive, wearing my Silver & Black, rooting on the Spurs. It is so gratifying watching them win on the road.

But I'm also really happy to see my adopted hometown warm up to the Hornets. Of course, winning helps.

[foodie2]

Can someone describe what happened between Dirk and West?

[Don Quixote]

New Orleans keeps impressing me.

I love it here!

For lunch today, I had a oyster sandwich on whole-wheat bread. The oysters were rolled in oats, and put in the sandwich with spinach, tomato, sauerkraut, and avocado. It was from some place in the French Quarter, off Bourbon St.

I eat great food like this every day! Like I said, I love it here.

[MavDynasty]

Can someone describe what happened between Dirk and West?

The thug got in Dirks face and started talking shit.Dirk being the Gentleman just watches him and they both get t'ed up.

[foodie2]

Thanks for the recap. I'm sure it was totally unbiased. :-)

[Amare_32]

The thug got in Dirks face and started talking shit.Dirk being the Gentleman just watches him and they both get t'ed up.


Why does David West have to be a thug?

[MavDynasty]

Why does David West have to be a thug?

Same reason why Amares a bitch.:toast

[Amare_32]

Same reason why Amares a bitch.:toast


That thug comment is pretty offensive.

[Allanon]

WTF happened to the Mavs? You guys had a nice lead and then choked the hell up.

Disappointed in the Mavs today but I'm still thinking you will win the series. Stop with the chokejobs already, that shouldn't be the legacy for a player as good as Dirk.

Old teams tend to struggle more in the 2nd half.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!! Mavs lost! I love it.

Unfortunately he is the only one that showed up in the 2nd half, but he gets the blame for the team's mistakes. If people just woke up and realized that being 'tough' means shit in the NBA they would understand that having 'tough guys' Avery Johnson and Stackhouse on this team only hurts us.

[E20]

I think the Mavs will win this. The Mavs were playing pretty well until CP3 went ballistic, and often is that gonna happen now that the Mavs know he is capable of and will put forth a much better effort to contain him. Mavs in 6 or 7.

[peskypesky]

I don't think so. Hornets in 6.

I think the Mavs will win this. The Mavs were playing pretty well until CP3 went ballistic, and often is that gonna happen now that the Mavs know he is capable of and will put forth a much better effort to contain him. Mavs in 6 or 7.

The problem is that the Mavs have gotten the habbit of getting large leads only to squander them in the end. What went on today is not unusual with what has happened throughout the season. For some reason Avery is happy to let Kidd run the team to a lead, and then all of a sudden makes a 180 and decides to run his "slow it down, iso heavy system". And we always lose leads like this.

[ludda]

How you going to let West tap you on the chin like that.

Where's the nut puncher when you need him?

That was low on West's part. Then again, its playoff basketball.

For the Mavs sake, Dirk should take offense to that, the Mavs in general should get a bigger chip on their shoulder...something, b/c it was obvious that New Orleans wanted it more and played with a fuck-the-haters kind of attitude.

[kingsfan]

I haven't watched the game yet, was at work all day but yea Hornets!!! 1 down, 3 to go :elephant

[LakerMagic]

Nice win for the Hornets. I see them making it to the WCF.

[stretch]

Old teams tend to struggle more in the 2nd half.

The Spurs say hello.

[stretch]

score was rgiht teams were wrong

lol yea i just noticed that

[The Nba Is Rigged]

Its a shame the kind of luck the Mavs have lol, last year we had a skinny and quick point guard(Harris) that was getting bullied by a strong point guard(Baron Davis), so now we trade our quick point guard(harris) for a strong point guard(J-kidd) and now we are getting abused by quick Point guards. Boy does it suck to be a Mavs fan lol, I still believe though.

[Spider TX]

Mavs MIGHT win 1 game, but even then that's a stretch. Lead by double digits and lose by double digits, might become a theme of this series, most likely the losing part of that.

[boutons_]

I felt some sadness for Mavs, and the series, as Paul turned the game around. The Mavs had no response, and looked quite pathetic.


Will Mavs bounce back and get the split?

[dirk4mvp]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!! Mavs lost! I love it.


You are the worst poster on the board. Congrats.

[Obstructed_View]

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but what the fuck is that PA announcer saying every time Chris Paul makes a play? It is the most fucking annoying thing I've heard since that dude that made orgasm noises during game 4 of the finals last year?

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. And we thought DEE TROIT BAS KET BALL! was annoying.

God damn. I'm still rooting for the Mavs, just so I don't have to listen to that shit anymore.

[T Park]

That would be them playing one Ric Flair after everyone one of his buckets.

WOOOOOO

[Obstructed_View]

You're kidding, right?

[Allanon]

Yup, it's true...that's Ric Flair everytime CP3 makes a basket. I was thinking WTF as well.

Ric Flair did the introductions at the All Star game and some of the Hornet games.


WOOOO!!!!

[Amare_32]

The Hornets just beat a team they were suppose to beat.

[Elraptor]

I want to see the Hornets at least beat them and take the series.

[Findog]

I think the Mavs will win this. The Mavs were playing pretty well until CP3 went ballistic, and often is that gonna happen now that the Mavs know he is capable of and will put forth a much better effort to contain him. Mavs in 6 or 7.

I wish you were right, but the Mavs have previously gotten raped by Steve Nash, Dwyane Wade and Baron Davis, and CP3 is better than all of them.
