What The Was That?

[Ghazi]

The game was in Dallas, not houston, and the rockets aren't a contending teamand to get all happy beating a rockets team after being down 17 is absurd. This team is still terribly inconistent

Please! This team was basically on a 6 game win streak coming into the Spurs' game. Just because Barea/Terry couldn't hit their FT's doesn't mean the guys are inconsistent, it just means they missed some FT's.

Mavs have a top 5 margin of victory in the league right now as well.

There's not enough evidence yet to determine that this team will be just as inconsistent this year as last year. If we lose to the TWolves tonight maybe I'll concede that

[picc84]

Yeah, whatever. That would be more credible if mavs fans didnt spend every waking moment dissing that clown. I can count at least 3 other players outside Dirk better for that team, when Howard doesn't play you can barely ing tell, 18 empty ppg or not.

Will somebody please go DC Sniper on Ghazi for me?

[Ghazi]

I'm just tellin it like it is. Mavs winnin 55+ this year TAKE THAT TO THE BANK (unless we get injured).

[Chris Paul]

Speaking of es, I just got done plowing your wife. If you wanna go into the room and jerk off to the scent of our stank, go ahead.

Hey man, things are tough without you. I remember when everytime I was in trouble I could just throw the ball up there and you would dunk it. Okafor can't do that , he gets me ing pissed. But Tyson, you know you can't guard me though, right?

With no Smokey around mavs aren't winning 55 games plus...once again Dirk will have to carry the team on his back to get to 50 wins again

You're a ing dumbass. Just compare their winning % with and without him last year. It's no coincidence they were barely above .500 without him and went on a tear with him healthy for the stretch run last year.

I don't come to Lakersground and knock the out of your mouth. Try knowing what you're talking about before you start pecking with one finger on the keyboard. I've never seen such a pantywaist freak out over an early November loss.

I was in a really bad mood earlier today. It showed. Sorry bout that.

He's still not the Mavs Gasol though. And is this MavsTalk.com? I don't post at lakersground but if you did I wouldn't mind.

Smokey is an issue. The real question is wether you should ride Dirk now and let JHo heal, or play JHo now, hope you make the playoffs quickly and he can get some games to rest at the end of the season, but risk an even worse injury in the process.

Another issue, IMHO, is that the bench got worse. Bass brought a lot of energy. Gooden looks pissed half the time and he just ing sucks overall.

Yes. picc, just hitting it square.

Sorry for calling you a ing dumbass. No, he's not as good as Gasol, but he means as much to our team as Gasol does to yours. Your team is not elite without Gasol. Our team is not at the very good level without Josh. Since both teams were missing their #2 guys, I think that was a legit win. Of course the Lakers would prevail in a 7-game series. Just admit the Mavs were better that one night.

There's Bad Josh and Good Josh. Bad Josh chucks up jumpers and does nothing else. Good Josh slashes to the basket and wreaks havoc on both ends. Good Josh showed up around March last year and the Mavs were a much better team. Then Billups mangled his ankle in Game 1 of the Denver series and we were toast.

Jet, Tim Thomas, Humphries and Barea is a good bench.

If I were the Mavs, I'd let Josh take his time to heal. I have no idea what is going on with his ankle. He had surgery 5 months ago. In any event, they can package him, Dampier + Gooden in February if need be, since those are all expirings.

J-Ho out indefinitely...

Its all good, everything was pissing me off this morning. I've got other things to worry about anyway, like the Thuggets and making sure JR doesn't try to give any of our players a ride to the airport tonight.
