So you're saying Damp can win that matchup? Have we been watching the same games with Nene and Birdman getting career highs almost everytime these two teams meet?
Not to mention, can Damp even stay on the floor long enough.
Also the game was close b/c Dirk was hot and Jason Kidd was actually passing the ball to the right team up until that point.
The Nuggets did force some of the turnovers and altered shots with Birdman's blocks. I think maybe after awhile that the Mavs started to get sloppy and make hasty decisions because they were expecting pressure and started "hurrying up" if that makes sense. They need to take their time and just take care of the ball better. The only thing that makes me feel good is that in the 4th Q when the game broke open, it was more just really bad Dallas execution than it was Denver pressure.
but the problem was that we tried to run with Denver when it turned into a track meet. Instead make it a defensive game. Use up like 20 seconds on the clock. Teams that are this undisciplined and aggressive will get frustrated without their easy points off turnovers.
We just started slinging the ball around playing into their hands. If we take up 21 seconds off the clock and miss off a quality look thats gonna be a good posession in this series, maybe even as good as a quick make
[QUOTE]I disagree. The Nuggets are not a great transition D like San Antonio. I agree you don't want to get into a trackmeet with all of the athletes they have, but the Mavs need to push the ball and get easy baskets when the opportunity is there.
Well, they are playing a healthy team this time.
What the was up with Kidd this game? He had a meltdown, it must be something in the Dallas air. He never had a playoff game like this in his life up until today. He looked like a scared 10th grade point guard playing his first game on varsity.
[QUOTE=Findog;3360103]Selective fastbreaking is one thing, but they were just playing out of control the entire 4th. And the problem is that Denver has so many shotblockers our fast breaks turn into quick jump shots. If it's a clear advantage like a 2 on 1 then you try and score otherwise pull it out there will probably be somebody open trailing anyway

5-0 during the season means the nuggets are clearly the better team so id be shocked to see this series go to six.
Mavs paid 5.5 mill for Diop
Nugs got Birdman for under 1 mill
And the Nightmare begins for the Dallas Mavettes. Once again we are all watching the Mavettes self destruct before our eyes. It must be pure to be a Mavette fan and have to continuously live through the agony of defeat and never experience the thrill of victory known as being the NBA/World Champions! It is good to be a Spurs fan as we ramp up this summer to win Trophy #5 next season. We'll have everyone healthy including the 4 or 5 new, young, athletic Spurs to play alongside studs like Tim, Tony & Manu.
I'd like to feel for you ladies but, since all of you have become such big mouth assholes I just can't. San Antonio and South Texas will root for anyone BUT, the Mavettes & Fakers!
Go Denver!!! bumpywumpy's new team now that he has jumped off of the good ship Dallas anic aka Dallas Mavettes!
Have fun and a good evening ladies!!! ROTFFLMFAO
Truth hurts ?

Don't ever question Big Poppa Donnie
What are you talking about guy?
Anderson = 3, 0, 15, 7 in the four meetings. 6.25 pgg, 6.4 in reg season.
Nene = 19, 12, 20, suspension. 17ppg, avg 14.6 in reg season
So ya dumbass. They perform right around where they usually do.
Somebody bust out the Donnie troll
The only dumbass is the one watching the games who can't plainly see that Damp has trouble guarding mobile, athletic centers like Nene. Expect him to average 20 points this series and/or get Erica in constant foul trouble.
Yeah get used to it because the Nuggets are a better team than the Spurs with a injured manu.
Oh great to top off this disappointing loss we have SouthTexas Bag to come through and put in his two cents (if we want to call that English anyway).
Anyway i'm already pissed off, time to go beat my wife!

Yep, bumpywumpy, we the good citizens that root for the SA Spurs have learned how to fight in the sewer from you Mavettes. There used to be some mutual respect between fans of both teams but, after seeing how childish you Mavette fans really are I thought hey, what the heck, I'll jump on that dirty bandwagon for the 4 game Denver series.
Go Denver and Cleveland...!
sweep.
Kidd has to play better. To me he is the number one reason why the Mavs lost today. He did play some good defense on Chauncey, however that also had a lot to do with Chauncey happily taking a step back and facilitating the game for the frontline who was dominating. Kidd was EXTREMELY sloppy all game long, in addition to the 8 turnover he could have easily have had more. In order for the Mavs to win game 2, Kidd has to play better.
Also:
1) let's hope Josh is healthy, he started of very well, attacking Kleiza at any opportunity, but after he turned his ankle he was not the same player.
2) the Mavs have to cope better with the physicality, I don't know what the chances of that are, but they have to learn to use that against the Nuggets, and get fouls out of them.
5 games each series then its Nuggets vs Lakers for the WCF.
and don't forget
