Greg is mocking the mookie crew's w shtick where the ans will win and they'll argue Vince Young's 1 touchdown, 3 interception, 36.1 passer rating performance was the reason Tennessee won, not Chris Johnson's 242 rushing yards or Rob Bironas kicking multiple 45+ yard field goals, one of which being a game winner.
tbh I remember a few guys in the NFL forum saying the reason Young didn't have better stats is because he was playing in the wrong offense for his skill set. Unfortunately for VY though since Benny Friedman brought the forward pass into vogue in the 1930s, less and less teams have been running the Wing-T.

lol conveniently ignoring shawn marion's defense
no, because wallace was the one with 2 turnovers.
lol "wallace is going to curbstomp dallas!"
lol 11 points in first quarter, sandwich the next three
How does Marion's defense explain the drop off in offensive production for him in the playoffs compared to the regular season?
perhaps the fact that hes only getting 5 or 6 shots a game, because Dirk and Kidd (and last night Peja) is out there schoolin' z left and right. why force something else, rather than feed the hot hands?
either way, Marion has done nothing at all in these two games to detract from the teams solid performances. he has only helped by providing solid defense, not turning the ball over, and making the few open attempts thats given to him. exactly what should be expected from a role player like him.
Making the few open attempts? I specifically remember him shooting a wide open 10 footer in game 1 and not even catching rim.
Last night, no, he didn't do anything to detract from Dallas's solid performance. In game 1 he took a few shots he has no business taking (one of which being that bootleg fadeaway hook shot), and missed 1-2 shots he had no business missing.
We'll see how Marion steps up when Kidd, Peja and Terry are missing their shots and Dallas needs someone outside of Dirk to step up.
been trying to find fault on him but i only saw some solid performances from him tbh. nig played good D & protected the perimeter pretty well, though he didn't score/grab alot points/rebounds. dallas won 2 games at home now, a good start but it ain't nearly half done tbh. gonna be dogfights in da rose garden imho, just be prepared for some true bloody battles my z. series would be tied if dallas conceded the next 2 (which be very likely), and luck would start to bias for portland in game 5 and 6 since them s be younger. HCA ain't meanin nothing fo ya if you couldnt survive to game 7. nigs better stay focus until they win the series imo. the team winning 4 games first wins the series, not two games. u should never underestimate the choking abilities ef these chokers, however
I agree with this. He hasnt had the need to step up so far, so its kinda hard to knock on the guy. When he has the need and the chance to step up and fails a few times, then I think we have a legit complaint. But truth is, he shouldnt have to step up that frequently. It needs to be Kidd, Peja, Terry, and Barea taking that role, while Marion does clean-up work.
Unless & until Wallace sees the Lakers across center court he's pedestrian fare.
2-0 tbh
Marion's D is key for the Mavs against the blazers athletic wings but him shooting another 10th air ball was almost as bad as Haywood's scud missle free throw attempt last night
Let's go Blazers!
I'm sorry, I didn't know that was an individual achievement of Marion.
Prove he's hurting the Mavericks with his play. If he's not hurting them, only helping them, then it's pretty obvious he isn't choking like you say. Just cuz you're still asshurt about him sucking on a bunch of gimmick teams that couldn't win a le even if their dumb franchise player stayed on the bench doesn't mean you have to take it out on him forevermore.
Marion sucked in last year playoffs versus the Spurs.
Thanks for posting!

let us proceed...
Marion is a great role player, but not a guy you should be relying on for providing scoring punches on a nightly basis. If you want defense, hustle, and some easy buckets from time to time in transition, hes your man.
