Kidd and Terry lead the team in timely TOs. That was some ugly going on there.
And just expect Nene and Birdman to emasculate Erika the entire series.
Well the beloved Mavs are getting blown out. The weird thing is it doesn't feel like a blowout, Mavs just got sloppy as at the end.
In the first half the Thuggets dominated the paint especially w/ Nene. I felt Dirk got shafted on a few calls this half but it was only a 4-PT game at half.
Our guys in blue came out scorching in 2nd half but it was primarily on jump shots. Then the sloppiness began.
At end of day, the guys in blue had 20 turnovers resulting in 29 fast break points too many. We can't help getting outscored in paint but that's something we can control. Kidd had 8-9 turnovers
Not much to say, on to next game!

I thought Dallas had the perfect start. Dirk was scoring at will and neither Melo nor Billups hit their stride. The problem is you don't match up well with the Nuggets athletic frontline, and they ran roughshod over you. Lol at Birdman shutting Dirk down.
outcoached and their bench is not nearly as great as denvers
Just want to punch J.R Smith, and carmelo in the face
A lot of those turnovers weren't even the result of Denver pressure, they just got real sloppy. There's some positives to take from this game, they kept Billups and Melo from really going off, Dirk had his game working, but their bench really stepped up while ours did not.
We do need to get G2. We have to protect HC and then we have four shots to take one there. I think if we go back to Dallas down 0-2, it will be extremely hard to turn around and win 4 out of 5. But if we get the split, we'll be in good shape. I'm disappointed that we unraveled in the 4th, but we still have an opportunity to get the split. I'll be despondent only if we come back home down 0-2. That would not bode well at all.
A few more thoughts:
I thought Dirk had a solid game, all things considered
J-Ho was invisible after the ankle injury
Terry was decent, but didn't really make an imprint
Perturbing that the Nuggets won despite quiet games from melo and Billups
Carter, Smith and Birdman all were great off the bench. Them picking up the slack and the Dallas turnover extravaganza in the 4th is the story of this game.
chauncy went off against hornets because his teamates were nervous
chauncy knows if he knows if he needs to score or pass
Agreed. Also agreed that the turnovers were primarily due to sloppiness rather than Nuggets pressure.
why they act better then the cavs bench when they score
got to love the mental state of the soft mavs huh
4-1 puta
Nene and Birdman ALWAYS have career games against the Erica. The Mavs should just take that into account. I've never seen Erica win that matchup.
And JR and Carter can neutralize and oftentimes outplay Terry.
The ONLY advantage the mavs have is Dirk and he can be roughed up with some physical play.
Again, bad matchup.
Excuse me, why are you in this thread? This thread is about the playoffs. I think there's a Spurs thinktank subfolder where you can discuss the offseason and any potential roster moves for your team that is no longer playing.
I hate to say this, but heygot.
29 points from Turnovers says it all, cut down on them = Game 2 win for Dallas.
Anyone who insinuates the Mavs lost this game cause of mentality is dumb.
Bottom line, 20 turnovers, 29 fast break points.
The domination in the paint was to be expected given regular season trends (Nugs 2nd, Mavs 30th).
But can't commit 20 turnovers and get outscored 29-2 in fast break.
What are you talking about?
The game didn't go to up until Damp went out with 4 fouls and stayed out because of the injury.
It was 63-63 when Damp went out.
Isn't this is a Spurs board?
BTW if you're so butthurt, Mavstalk is your destination (i'm kidding, that place is awful).
Is it me or does anybody else think that Denver put too much effort into this game. Do they always play like this? They may get blown out in game 2 (or maybe not)..

I think Denver always plays like this and ramped it up a notch.
to say Denver outplayed us is an understatement. They deserved this game
ducks is a dbag. He's not somebody that can be counted on to provide non-homer takes.
