Mavs will win next four games

[monosylab1k]

So what you're telling me is Josh Howard has more heart than Jason Terry and Jason Kidd gotcha.

That's where you're ing re ed. Again.

Constantly attacking the basket means taking constant hits. You have to be tough as to attack the basket nonstop. It takes heart to do that, whether it's one person or an entire team.

It's taking the easy way out when you decide to jack up 30+ three pointers. It's easy to shoot a jumper. It's hard to attack the basket, take the punishment, then do it again. and again. and again.

I'm telling you that nobody on the Mavericks has any heart.

Define "help". Make us better. Sure, considering J-Ho's missed a bunch of games and is a black hole in the ones he plays.. Make us elite? no.

It very well could be "lateral" in that it wouldn't change the fact that we may be headed for a 1st round exit.

If only it was that easy. The acquisition of players who aren't even top 50 in the league can vault a team from a 1st round playoff exit to at least 10 playoff wins. You would think the Suns would be doing better w/ J-Rich if that was the case.

I didn't know you guys were tapping the wires though and know what deals the Mavs FO turned down or what was available to them.

No, you're right. Donnie and Mark are the bestest front office guys ever!

I couldn't have said it better myself. Son, you are well on your way to earning an internship with the Mavericks.

No butttt... Im gonna assume the best case scenario with a guy like John mutha in Salmons or G-Wallace is a 2nd round exit instead of 1st, and wouldn't change the fact that our future is gloomy. I'm pretty sure you personally wouldn't be content with that, so why complain?

But our guys in blue should look forward, not backward. Can't play the "what if" game. But Im gonna go ahead and safely assume that "if" we had one of those 2 mentioned players we wouldn't be in the class of elite teams.

hi bump

@ Hawks, @ Pacers, vs Warriors, vs Nuggets

and if they dont ill be pretty mad

I marvel at fans of other teams who love to post things in other boards about upcoming games of their respective teams such as this thread as if fans of other teams really care. Seriously, do Mavs fans really believe they will get out of the First round? What's next? Game to game prediction of Mavs' remaining games? The bigger question... do non-Mavs fans really care about how mediocre the Mavs are?

And yet you still find time to post in a lot of Mav-related threads.

It's OK, we're all Mavochists.

I'm just curious about today before I will start thinking about the rest. Hopefully the refs are better this time. Don't get me wrong, we had enough chances against the Hawks and our shooting was just terrible. Thus it was majorly our fault. But still...

To cite one post on a Mavs-board (sorry thurst for citing you here, but you wrote it perfectly):

Those refs were atrocious last night and Dirk was absolutely right when he got the T for screaming "And 1" at the ref. I rewinded and watched it in slow motion and Evans fouled Dirk at least three times on that play. He clearly pushed Dirk in the back with two hands, TWICE, and then hacked him on the arm during the shot.

And I don't care what anyone says with regard to our offensive attack in the first half not being aggressive enough to earn freethrows. With Dirk's offensive skill and the difficulty that poses to defenses, there's no way the Hawks committed ZERO shooting fouls in the first half. That is an absolute embarrassment to the ref squad to allow the Hawks to shoot so many more freethrows for such a long stretch of the game.

I know the refs aren't the reason the team lost and that they could have taken the game with some smarter play and better shooting down the stretch, but jeez it is hard to watch.

But of course, it's the second night of a B2B, it's away and guys like Dirk and Kidd played over, respectively almost 40 minutes yesterday. Thus it will be a tough one, no doubt about that.

Pussy changed the original post after the Mavs lost. Too bad so many people quoted the original which said s/he wouldn't post for two months if the Mavs didn't win all four games.

they have billups on their team, you know? The guy that was Finals MVP in 2004?
