Hornets-Mavs Game Thread

NO up 4 on the Mavs halfway thru the 1st.

[Pelicans78]

Looks like West hurt his shooting hand. Kidd drawing a good foul on CP3.

[crc21209]

So far the Mavs are hanging around with the Hornets...we'll see if they can keep it up.

[Pelicans78]

This game is gonna be close. We don't blow out teams anymore. Our pace is alot slower from last season. We don't run up and down the court.

Dirk Nowitzki. You've just been through

THE SEAN MARKS EXPERIENCE

[Pelicans78]

Posey's missed two layups.

[crc21209]

Don't know who I should go for being a Spurs fan lol. Both teams are in the division. But NO also only has 22 losses, while Dallas has 24.

[crc21209]

Wow that was a close-buzzer beater by Dirk to end the half but I dont think its going to count.

[Pelicans78]

That shouldn't have counted.

Mavs playing well so far considering its a roadie b2b and 4th in 5 nights.

But the defense looks tired and is doing too much switching for my tastes.

[Ghazi]

But that's more a reflection on the fact that the Hornets are garbage rather than the Mavs playing well.

A good team would've finished us by halftime already.

Tie game 45-45. Which team will be able to pull away coming outta the half?

We're a little sluggish from the layoff. Don't worry Ghazi. We're a 3rd quarte team anyway.

[Ghazi]

2 day layoff? Give me a break.

[crc21209]

lol Charles calling out the Mavs, saying theyre not that good.

[Pelicans78]

2 day layoff? Give me a break.

We were lulled to sleep by the early 12-3 lead. Dallas made a nice little run. Probably go down into the 4th unless Dallas wears out early.

Im betting the house that CP3 takes a on the Mavs in the 2nd half

[Pelicans78]

Mavs shot 56% in the 2nd quarter. CP3's shooting woes continue. Team continues to play its slow pace and not have any transition points.

[lefty]

That alley oop with CP3 and some guy was amazing

[sribb43]

Posey's missed two layups.

WTF were the Mavs double teaming Posey in the post leaving 3 point shooters open. if there going to run the offense through Posey, let him go 1 on 1...Jesus Christ, I dont understand NBA coaches sometimes

[Pelicans78]

Finally we get some transition points. Need to run more with Wright and Chandler.

[Ghazi]

Bleh mavs missin open looks leading to transition buckets.

[Pelicans78]

Bleh mavs missin open looks leading to transition buckets.

Both teams are just shooting perimeter shots and scoring off of misses.

[Pelicans78]

They really called a tech on that? what a joke.
