Mavs vs. Hornets Game 2

[Flight3107]

Howard off to a quick start again, just a matter of minutes until he completely disappears.

[Flight3107]

West is quietly becoming the biggest whiner in the NBA

[Kobayagi]

To me it looks like there's only one play in the Hornets playbook. Paul tries to get in the paint dribbling and then passes it out to West for a outside jumper. I mean...how hard can it be to stop that? If mavs can somehow stop that one play, they can cruise to 2nd round.

[san antonio spurs]

Where are mavs fans?

[Kriz-Maxima]

NO looks confident.

[armand0]

avery johnson maybe the worst coach in the playoff teams

[Flight3107]

Dallas playing nice defense

10 straight buckets for the Hornets

[clambake]

what is the deal with avery? they go straight to the basket. adjust.

[Kriz-Maxima]

Oh Chris!

[clambake]

damn, this is ugly. mavs don't seem to have a heartbeat. wheres damp?

[kingsfan]

Love the end of 1st Q buzzer beaters by Cp, 2 games in a row

[resistanze]

LOL @ 8 assists in the first Q.

[mavs>spurs2]

Love the end of 1st Q buzzer beaters by Cp, 2 games in a row

Fuck off slut

[clambake]

paul running alone, mavs don't seem to care.

[jack sommerset]

reminds me of gs vs mavs last year.

[fitzgerald]

Avery is a great coach. Way to make good adjustments. We are doomed.

[kingsfan]

Fuck off slut
you mad? :lol

[boutons_]

Mavs FG 58% vs 70%

[clambake]

fucking stack sucks.

[DazedAndConfused]

DAL is playing like complete crap. No defense, settling for shitty jumpshots, no offensive rebounds. They aren't playing like they want to win this series.

[clambake]

long jumpers = long night. did they learn anything from game 1?

[Flight3107]

Avery and Josh make me want to kick my dog.

[clambake]

they aren't playing like they want to be in dallas.

[td4mvp21]

What is up with the Mavs?

[clambake]

this is a joke.

[clambake]

why couldn't they tank before the playoffs?

[clambake]

where's damp? i didn't catch the first 10 minutes.

[sribb43]

thats been the motto since the playoffs last year..i dont know why you would expect anything else but that

[Findog]

What is up with the Mavs?

Can't defend the pick and roll. It's almost like an overreaction to Game 1. Now they're trapping Paul a ton and other Hornets are getting easy shots because he keeps his dribble alive long enough to get it to the open guy before Dallas can rotate.

[Flight3107]

2 fouls

[Allanon]

Mavs starting to show some life but I seriously can't believe they've been outplayed so far this game.

[sribb43]

avery over coaches.....now he thinks he must trap every possession

[td4mvp21]

Yeah well they're pissing me off, why can't they play like this against the Spurs?

[clambake]

somebody cut the legs off of stack.

[Elraptor]

Hornets will win this game, and they'll stay in front the rest of the game :D

Dallas is already in huge trouble.

[kingsfan]

CP on the bench and they still can't get the lead down. This is awesome. :lmao

[Flight3107]

I seriously can't believe they've been outplayed so far this game.


I can

[kingsfan]

GO PEJA!!! :downspin:

[Allanon]

Nice catch JET.

These announcers are horrible...worst group I've heard on TNT.

[clambake]

doesn't matter. they'll just send in paul for the kill.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

these commentators suck

[jack sommerset]

Hornets r going for the throat. They just keep throwing up shots.

[Allanon]

I can

If the Mavs don't wake up, they better start breaking out their tackle boxes and fishing rods.

[clambake]

what makes you think these guys can fish?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

nice pass

[Elraptor]

these commentators suckYea, hopefully we get Miller and the other guy like last time. The ones for the game right now suck badly. :lol

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

what makes you think these guys can fish?

:lol

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

has walton done a game yet?

[Elraptor]

has walton done a game yet?That would be good to. :D

[Allanon]

Walton had that at home injury and I haven't seen him since on any of the broadcasts...anybody seen him? Where's Walton?

[clambake]

i pity the announcers having work this game.

[Elraptor]

Walton had that at home injury and I haven't seen him since on any of the broadcasts...anybody seen him? Where's Walton?Nope i haven't.

[san antonio spurs]

despite the pretty basketball from NOH, DAL is still in it. Maybe the second half will be better for them.

[mavsfan1000]

Summary of todays game.
Kidd can't shoot
Stackhouse can't shoot
Dampier is getting killed on the pick and roll
Bass can't do anything.
Kidd can't stay in front of Paul
Paul loves that Kidd passes so much (more steals)
Dirk's help defense is pathetic
Feels like Golden State all over again.

[Allanon]

Dirk is starting to turn it on, I think this game is starting to turn around for the Mavs.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

damn

[clambake]

didn't take long for josh to implode.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

avery cannot be happy with the first half defense of the mavs

[Elraptor]

MVP MVP MVP.....................no.

[Elraptor]

avery cannot be happy with the first half defense of the mavsChris Paul can. :lol

[Don Quixote]

I'm torn. I don't know who to pull for.

I grew up in San Antonio, so I'm of course a Spurs fan. If the Mavs win, the Silver & Black get homecourt against the Mavs, assuming of course they survive the Ringless Wonders of Phoenix. On the other hand, a big fat help homecourt was against Dallas in 06!

However, if the Hornets win, the Spurs don't get homecourt. But I would get to see TWO Spurs road playoffs games. And it does feel kind of good to see my adopted home city of New Orleans get behind the Hornets.

I guess I just want to see a good series.

[clambake]

this is too easy.

[clambake]

can we borrow Horry?

[mavsfan1000]

Btw brilliant coaching done by Avery. :rolleyes

[clambake]

yikes! time for some alcohol consumption.

[mVp]

LOL Mavs are done.

[Allanon]

Oops, I spoke to soon.

Just some serious boneheaded plays by the Mavs. Maybe they're throwing the game to make it a more exciting series? Maybe not :D

BTW, I can't say much cuz the Lakers defense ain't great but the Mavs today are downright horrible on D.

Want to lob to Chandler? Yes sir Mr. Paul, here you go. Want to get a wide open 3 pointer, ok Mr. Peja, here you go.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

can we borrow Horry?


you need some D !

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

on a side note, i like the quotation box kori and friends came up with

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

wtf is wrong with Dallas?

[clambake]

you need some D !

yeah, like in Demerol.

[Findog]

To me it looks like there's only one play in the Hornets playbook. Paul tries to get in the paint dribbling and then passes it out to West for a outside jumper. I mean...how hard can it be to stop that? If mavs can somehow stop that one play, they can cruise to 2nd round.

I honestly do not understand why they don't put Josh on Paul and have Kidd on Peja. Kidd is 6'4, he can body up Peja and get a hand in his face just fine since he's pretty much just a spot-up shooter.

And I'd stay home on everybody else and turn Paul into strictly a scorer. Just go under him on the screen -- if he beats us by hitting jumpers, then tip your cap to him and wish him luck in Round Two. Because letting him getting into the lane, or trapping the hell out of him and letting the Hornets swing it to the open guy is a recipe for defeat.

[spurs2012]

The Mavericks are terrible.

So many problems and it's not Dirk’s fault.

It's true he has no inside game but hey, they know that...
they could have tried to correct it. instead they went and traded for Jason Kidd. Another guard? I always thought Mavs had great guards.

I used to think JKidd was awesome but... he looks very average in this series. Maybe I am missing things but he seems not to be having much of an impact.

It seems to me the MAVS are content to be swept and are just "going through the motions"...

I think Dirk knows this about his team and he is angry...
I think he does want to win.

I don't know about Avery.

what do you guys think? Are the Hornets that good?

[mavsfan1000]

wtf is wrong with Dallas?
It's Golden State all over again. New Orleans is too quick.

:toast

The Hornets are very good, but there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to make this a series. Avery sucks.

[Crookshanks]

can we borrow Horry?

you need some D !

No - they need him to hipcheck Chris Paul into the scorer's table - and then maybe some Hornet's players will pull an Amare and leave the bench!

That's the only chance they'll have to win this series...:lmao

[boutons_]

Mavs look finished, bad body language, esp Dirk walking off at the half.

Out in the first round again?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

sad but, D Harris could keep up with CP3

[GuerillaBlack]

This series is going to seven. Mavs will win their next two at home.

[lrrr]

can we borrow Horry?

Don't you have enough goons on your squad?

Look for Terry to clothesline CP3 sometime during the 3rd quarter!

[td4mvp21]

And I'd stay home on everybody else and turn Paul into strictly a scorer. Just go under him on the screen -- if he beats us by hitting jumpers, then tip your cap to him and wish him luck in Round Two. Because letting him getting into the lane, or trapping the hell out of him and letting the Hornets swing it to the open guy is a recipe for defeat.

Pop did that in the Spurs' 98-89 win against the Hornets. Paul hit a lot of his jumpers but they forced him into being the scorer (I believe he took a team high 23 shots but I'll have to double check) and then the Spurs neutralized/shut down everyone else.

[Findog]

It's Golden State all over again. New Orleans is too quick.

Yep, once again Avery is getting outcoached and Dallas is overmatched. At least this time you can't put it on Dirk. He showed up.

[sribb43]

Avery...Eddie Jones on Chris Paul is comical

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

No - they need him to hipcheck Chris Paul into the scorer's table - and then maybe some Hornet's players will pull an Amare and leave the bench!

That's the only chance they'll have to win this series...:lmao

:lmao ah . ok , i follow now

[mavsfan1000]

Avery has never figured out how to deal with the pick and roll. Trapping Paul with Erick Dampier all the way to halfcourt? WTF?

[sribb43]

This series is going to seven. Mavs will win their next two at home.


your probably right...the home team will win every game in this series. honestly i say get the series over a quick as possible so mavs fans dont have to deal with coach Avery anymore

[san antonio spurs]

Don't you have enough goons on your squad?

Look for Terry to clothesline CP3 sometime during the 3rd quarter!

Lol was he implying to borrow Horry to clothesline CP3 or because he might have bigger balls than the whole mavs team.
I'm stupid, I thought he wanted to borrow him for his clutchness

[monosylab1k]

Yep, once again Avery is getting outcoached and Dallas is overmatched. At least this time you can't put it on Dirk. He showed up.

Findog, are you going to Game 3 or 4? I'll be going to one of them, not sure which one yet, but I think we need to try and get some Fire Avery chants going when they get run out of their own gym.

[Findog]

Pop did that in the Spurs' 98-89 win against the Hornets. Paul hit a lot of his jumpers but they forced him into being the scorer (I believe he took a team high 23 shots but I'll have to double check) and then the Spurs neutralized/shut down everyone else.

He's not Kobe from outside. He's missed a few in this game. Trapping is fine as far as mixing it up and giving him a few different looks, but that's all they're doing. Anyways, going under is how I would play the p'n'r between him and Chandler. You switch and Chandler is going to get a lob dunk over your PG. You fight through the screen and Paul gets into the lane. There's no perfect solution but that would be my strategy.

The silver lining is that Mark Cuban is FINALLY going to fire Avery's sorry ass and get rid of some of the roster deadweight in the off season.

[Findog]

Findog, are you going to Game 3 or 4? I'll be going to one of them, but I think we need to try and get some Fire Avery chants going when they get run out their own gym.

I have tickets to G3. Which one are you going to?

[sribb43]

Avery has never figured out how to deal with the pick and roll. Trapping Paul with Erick Dampier all the way to halfcourt? WTF?

hey thats how he thought you stop Kobe by trapping with your slowest and best post defender 50 ft from the basket:madrun

[fitzgerald]

I honestly do not understand why they don't put Josh on Paul and have Kidd on Peja. Kidd is 6'4, he can body up Peja and get a hand in his face just fine since he's pretty much just a spot-up shooter.

Because letting him getting into the lane, or trapping the hell out of him and letting the Hornets swing it to the open guy is a recipe for defeat.

You are thinking exactly what I was thinking. Why doesn't Avery see this? Why is Stackhouse in the game at all? He is horrible. He is throwing the ball away and missing wide open shots. We are being outcoached again. On the flip side, maybe this is one of the last games for Avery. We need him gone alongwith his pet players.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

i forget the details, but on saturday i heard one of the talking heads say somethin like " phx needs to put seatbelts on the bench to aviod a replay of last year"

hilarious

[ducks]

gotto give credit to avery trying something to get the ball out of paul's hand

[Allanon]

I agree that probably both teams will win at home BUT

Dallas is the Veteran team...they have Dirk & Jason Kidd. That's two HoF'ers right there. They're getting outplayed by some 20 year old Playoff Virgins? This is just embarrassing.

Mavs seriously have to go into the locker room and slap each other upside the head and ask "WTF is wrong with you?"

That said, I still say Mavs will win this series, they just have to realize they need to pull their heads out of their *ss.

[clambake]

and take donnie with you!

[Findog]

I am by no means qualified to be an NBA head coach, so WTF is Avery's problem?

Yes, Paul had a great game on Saturday, he had 35 points and 10 assists and his team won. Dirk had 31 points and 10 rebounds, but nobody is talking about how the fuck is NOLA going to stop Dirk. The Hornets won G1 because Chandler played well, Peja played well, West played well, whereas nobody besides Dirk really did anything for us. You can't overreact to a guy doing what Paul did, and that's what they're doing with the traps. The Hornets anticipated that adjustment, and they're attacking it just fine.

[sribb43]

Dont be surprised to see Stack on CP3 in thie 2nd half...per Avery

[Findog]

That said, I still say Mavs will win this series, they just have to realize they should win.

The problem is that there is no amount of HOFers that can make up for Avery. I think the players want him gone, they are giving up on him. I don't think they wanna be around him much more than this series.

[Findog]

That's the elephant in the room, the chemistry on this team is terrible, and that's RARELY been the case in the Cuban/Dirk era. This team is even worse on-court and chemistry-wise than the 03-04 Two Antawns year.

No, he isn't. He has a good jumper but he gets a lot of his points in the paint, no? The thing is the Hornets' offense thrives off of Paul being a playmaker and setting his teammates up. They don't do too many isolations (if they do it's either with Paul or West). Now that I think about it, that was a really smart strategy by Pop. I agree, the best way to defend the pic'n'roll between Paul and whoever is to go under.

[fitzgerald]

Stackhouse - the CP3 Stopper.

All we have left now is Gallows Humor.


I think Avery will put Damp on Paul up top. One on one. Then he will put Kidd on Chandler. Hell we had Terry on West once. Maybe this will confuse the Hornets and they will start missing their shots? :blah

[sribb43]

I think Avery will put Damp on Paul up top. One on one. Then he will put Kidd on Chandler. Hell we had Terry on West once. Maybe this will confuse the Hornets and they will start missing their shots? :blah

At least this time it's not something you can pin on Dirk. He's getting nothing from his teammates.

[td4mvp21]

Dirk looks like the only one interested. It's both really shocking and somewhat satisfying to see the Mavs break down like this.

[50 cent]

This is just total domination. This series won't go more than 5 games.

[sribb43]

Dirk looks like the only one interested. It's both really shocking and somewhat satisfying to see the Mavs break down like this.

Dirk will request a trade...Mark will sell the team bc Dirk wants out and then the mavs can go back to being a team that everyone forgets plays in the NBA like back in the 90's. that will keep the organization and fans from being embarrased each and every year

[O-Factor]

Wow

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Wow

I know. Dirk is simply fucking amazing.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

:lmao:lmao Mavs fucking around again.

[remingtonbo2001]

Dallas is better than this...What's the deal?

[Flight3107]

and josh will not be heard from for the rest of the game

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Looks like NO is moving on in the end

[boutons_]

Mavs got nothing. Hornets are out-classing them.

Mavs will be lucky to a split @DAL.

[Flight3107]

Dallas is better than this...What's the deal?

You were tricked

[Dirk Nowitzki]

:sleep:sleep:sleep Hornets think they actually have a chance in this series.

[DazedAndConfused]

This is fucking pathetic DAL. Just end the series now, I can't watch this bullshit. What a pathetic effort by the Mavericks. They need to blow up the team and start over.

[Findog]

Dirk will request a trade...Mark will sell the team bc Dirk wants out and then the mavs can go back to being a team that everyone forgets plays in the NBA like back in the 90's. that will keep the organization and fans from being embarrased each and every year

Mark Cuban needs to do everything in his power to keep Dirk happy. He's got 3 years of his prime left. I don't think Dirk is the kind of guy who would request a trade though.

[san antonio spurs]

for all the trash talk Cuban,Avery,Terry, Stackhouse and most of mavs fans did the last couple of seasons, karma is biaaaaatch.

On the other hand, I'd rather these series go to 7 for whoever wins it.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

unbelievable
i called the GS series win last year well before the series started(gotta lot of shit from the guys)

but damn, to tell me beforehand that NO wiould just straight dominate?
ssshhh
Dallas has more problems that we know of

ps- Cuban buys the cubs now

[Findog]

How do you not pick up Peja at the 3-point line?

[mVp]

Wow... the Mavs are getting owned big time :lol

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Devon George with the Dunk!!!!!!!!

[Don Quixote]

I thought Dallas was better than this.

Should I start trying to buy Hornets' 2d round playoff tickets?

[Holmes_Fans]

New Orleans has no fucking inside defense. Why the hell don't we just dunk the entire game?

Who's doing the announcing this game? The color guy sounds familiar.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

I want the following to depart this summer after this ouster by New Orleans. These guys are stealing your money Cubes:

Avery Johnson
Josh Howard
Juwan Howard
Eddie Jones
Devean George
Malik Allen
JJ Barea
Jason Terry
Jamaal Magloire
Jerry Stackhouse

These guys can come back:

Dirk Nowitzki
Jason Kidd
Brandon Bass
Antoine Wright

Don't care either way:

Tyronn Lue

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Bass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Admidave50]

shit, Dallas is being murdered! Man up and try to compete!! Damnit

[Dirk Nowitzki]

:sleep:sleep:sleep bullshit charge foul called on Dirk

Avery is an assclown

[Crookshanks]

Hornets have 90 points and it's not even the 4th quarter yet?! :wow

[Dirk Nowitzki]

bass!!!!!!! HERE COME THE MAVERICKS BABY!

[Flight3107]

Just put Brandon Bass on the floor by himself, he is the only one that wants to play.

[Findog]

Sometimes it has to get worse before it can get better. Hopefully this is bottoming out.

The Mavs window is shut. They are pathetic and the Kidd experiment was just as idiotic as we all thought it would be.

Let's see what kind of roster they field in October. Nobody anticipated Boston retooling they way they did. They were going nowhere as is.

This is the playoffs and we have wright, george, and allen in the game at the same time.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

[jack sommerset]

Hahaha Kidd Starts The 4th On The Bench

[Crookshanks]

Hopefully this will finally shut up all the people who kept saying Hornets have no experience, they won't get out the 1st round.

Yeah - but who'dda thunk the Mavs would have another 1st round meltdown?

[remingtonbo2001]

Good game going on in Orlando. Toronto up 64-59.

[Allanon]

Seriously, you know you're getting your azz handed to you when your game gets switched to the "Scintilating" Raptors/Magic game in the 3rd quarter.

[kingsfan]

What's with the game 2 blowouts? At least the magic game looks close, maybe they'll switch
Well what do you know :lol

[Elraptor]

Hahaha Kidd Starts The 4th On The BenchI got a laugh out of that one. :lol

[Elraptor]

At least the Magic/Toronto game is a little more intersting :lol

[clambake]

[jack sommerset]

I'm serious. I feel bad for the Mavericks. I blame Avery for there entire downfall. No question about it.

The Hornets are laughing at them.

[Elraptor]

The Hornets are laughing at them.Agreed. Avery is the main problem. They just need to fire him! :toast

[Flight3107]

We need a PG that is quick and can get to the basket, someone like the young kid in New Jersey.

[The Nba Is Rigged]

Hey Mavs fans look at what we had in the 05-06 season and look what Avery has eventually turned us into at this point. I hope Avery gets mugged by some Mavs fans.

[21_Blessings]

The Mavs don't even belong in the playoffs. GS would have put up a better fight

What a worthless basketball team Dallas is

[Flight3107]

I hope we lose by 50 next game, then Avery has to get fired.

[Crookshanks]

:lmao seems like I saw him somewhere before - oh yeah - in Dallas!

[jack sommerset]

I ask myyself this question for the past 6-7 weeks.

Whats going to change? They could get swept. Does anyone think the Mavs can win 4 out of next 5, I don't and they gave up 2 1st round draft picks and a good guard in Devon Harris for a repeat of last playoffs, man Avery is sooooooo fired.

Thay whoooooooooo sound after Hornets hit a free throw is annoying

[Flight3107]

Nice timeout Avery, lets get back in this game.

[mavsfan1000]

Hey Mavs fans look at what we had in the 05-06 season and look what Avery has eventually turned us into at this point. I hope Avery gets mugged by some Mavs fans.
Harris, Daniels, and Diop. All quick for their positions. Stackhouse wasn't great back than but now he is horrible. I think we got to blame the Front Office as well. Who was the main person behind these roster decisions?

[jack sommerset]

The Mavs don't even belong in the playoffs. GS would have put up a better fight

Portland would have put up a better fight

[mVp]

Chris Paul
32pts
17 ast

WOW

[Crookshanks]

The Mavs don't even belong in the playoffs. GS would have put up a better fight

What a worthless basketball team Dallas is

Remember the 2005 finals? Spurs blew out the Pistons in game 1 and game 2 and everybody thought the series was over. Then we went to Detroit and the same thing happened to the Spurs in game 3 and 4.

Soooo - maybe the Mavs can turn this around once they get back to Dallas...
BUT - probably not

[21_Blessings]

Portland would have put up a better fight

Sacramento would have put up a better fight

[Holmes_Fans]

Since Paul got 5 fouls, he has played on ball defense 0 times.

This team is scared to take the game into their own hands.

[Crookshanks]

the announcers just said that Brandon Bass was the ONLY help Dirk got tonight.

[dg7md]

Portland would have put up a better fight

Grizzlies would have... and I'm not kidding either.

[jack sommerset]

Sacramento would have put up a better fight


oh yea well seattle would have put up a better fight

[Crookshanks]

oh yea well seattle would have put up a better fight

maybe even Miami would've done better! :downspin:

[Flight3107]

I want a Ryan Bowen dunk to end the game !

[21_Blessings]

oh yea well seattle would have put up a better fight

No Seattle is terrible. Sacramento would have been in the playoff mix if Martin never went down

[Kobulingam]

Yeah I agree. I am starting to think you were right about this Kidd trade but I will still give it 1 more year before I officially decide if this trade was a bust or not.

[TampaDude]

Wow...what an asskicking...

[Allanon]

Mavs laid down on their stomach and spread their legs on that game.

[Flight3107]

:depressed

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao


If we could somehow pick him up, I think he might be able to give Tony Parker a little trouble, and help create mismatches on the floor. Until then, we suck.

[remingtonbo2001]

Td

[Elraptor]

Congrats to the Hornets for owning the Mavs. :lol

That was fun, bring on game 3 :hungry:

[BUMP]

i still wont give up. i never quit on them during the season and i wont quit on them until they are eliminated. i hope for their sake, that the fans quit on them before they quit on us.

all that being said it definitely isnt looking good. this team has never been the same since the Finals collapse:depressed

[ludda]

Mavs are being exposed again.
Double Dirk= automatic win.

Kidd is getting killed. Josh Howard has played like turd.

Like I said from the very beginning, Hornets in 6 :toast

[Samr]

I think this is appropriate. It's from an email I sent my friend, who is from Dallas:


But then I remembered how I recently saw the documentary "Murderball," about quadriplegic rugby players. The rules of quad rugby are basically that each quad is ranked on a scale of 1-4 based upon their mobility. For example, a quad who can move his arms, hands, neck, and fingers is a 4, whereas a quad with mobility only in the arms is a 1. You can have a maximum of 8 points on the floor at any one time, so a team can potentially have up to 8 players, or as few as two.

It got me thinking: maybe Stern can use this in the NBA. Dirk, who lacks leadership and defensive skills could be a 2. Kidd, who can't defend or shoot would be a two as well. Josh Howard would be a 3 because he can shoot, defend, and look coolwith a headband. I'll give Terry a break and call him a 4, but when push comes to shove, he is still a quad.

Hell, the way _allas is playing, there needs to some handicapping going on. I mean, the Spurs put me to sleep and all, but this shit is just pitiful.

I don't think he and I are on speaking terms anymore.

[Findog]

What a worthless team around Dirk Dallas has

Fixed.

[ludda]

Why would you trap Paul with two slow 7 footers (Dirk and Dampier)? :lmao That one had me laughing.

[Findog]

I honestly do not understand why they don't put Josh on Paul and have Kidd on Peja. Kidd is 6'4, he can body up Peja and get a hand in his face just fine since he's pretty much just a spot-up shooter.

And I'd stay home on everybody else and turn Paul into strictly a scorer. Just go under him on the screen -- if he beats us by hitting jumpers, then tip your cap to him and wish him luck in Round Two. Because letting him getting into the lane, or trapping the hell out of him and letting the Hornets swing it to the open guy is a recipe for defeat.

Even though Paul burned Mavs last game, I thought the game plan was better in making him shoot. And that the Mavs' offense just collapsed in the second half as the main reason for the loss.

Well tonight...the "adjustments" made it worse. They doubled him early, got the rest of the team going and well...you know the rest of the story.

[Indazone]

Not like the Rockets have any room to talk.

Read my previous posts. I said we were going down and that my only consolation was watching the Mav's go down right with us. lol.

We'll throw in Terry and Bass.

Just trade with the Spurs, they'll give you Mahimi and Splitter for nothing. Their front office loves giving up premium players for nada. lol

[VaSpursFan]

mavs are broken. fire avery and blow up the team.

[DAINTX]

The Hornets have made the Mavs their jailhouse bitches these first two games. Chris Paul pretty much does whatever he wants to do.

[Indazone]

mavs are broken. fire avery and blow up the team.


ah yes, shades of the 90's Mavs.

[Budkin]

I picked the Mavs to win this series but damn are they getting their asses handed to them.

[SpursDynasty]

All NOH has proven is that they can win in their own arena. BFD.

F*** Chris Paul. POS.
