What bad luck for the Mavs

[badfish22]

If Dirk can handle Pau he can probably handle Bosh.

[DPG21920]

Already wrong, DPG.
"The Mavs were better last year than they are this year"

Do you remember this argument?

Yes. I do. Do you remember the actual argument? I said with Caron they were. I argued from a talent perspective that losing Caron while adding Tyson was a wash at best.

I clearly said that with everyone healthy, they were better than last year. Look it up.

Congratulations Heat on your second championship in 6 years.

ghazSTRODAMUS: Mavs/Heat will be an epic Finals.

August 6th, 2010



meanwhile, DPG WRONG ABOUT THEM MAVS

Ghazi:

The Celtics will beat the Heat

[Ghazi]

DPG... just ing face it, you were wrong about them Mavs

[NewJerSpur]

Zone defense of the Mavs can play a big factor in containing Wade and Lebron.

I can see Marion playing a similar role as Deng in containing Lebron and forcing him to take the outside shot more often than not, but I don't see one player on the Mavs doing that to Wade 1 on 1.

Ppl may have this bad series of Wade in their recent memory but he was the best player against Boston when he was defended by Ray Allen and Delonte West. Now he's going to be defended primarily by Stevensson and Terry so stopping him should be a priority for the Mavs as a team, not to mention the historical reasons.

Dirk has to dominate offensively as he has been doing the whole playoffs. Looking at the matchups there is no reason to think that he won't.

Lebron will have his numbers and theres also not much that can be done about it.

If the Mavs can limit Wade they will win this.

Wade's lying in the weeds right now and it's a scary proposition imo.

If Dirk can handle Pau he can probably handle Bosh.

Bosh is a way better shooter than Pau. Pau was worthless this year. He has always gotten owned by Dirk. So no surprise he got owned again by Dirk. I remember Dallas struggling against Toronto when Bosh was there.

[badfish22]

Yes. I do. Do you remember the actual argument? I said with Caron they were. I argued from a talent perspective that losing Caron while adding Tyson was a wash at best.

I clearly said that with everyone healthy, they were better than last year. Look it up.

I fail to see how this helps your side at all. We didn't have Caron for these playoffs, so thats against you. Also, "losing Caron while adding Tyson was a wash at best" is clearly wrong since we are in the Finals instead of getting kicked out in the first round again.

How you coping with the loss tonight?

[badfish22]

So no surprise he got owned again by Dirk.

I'm sure that's what you were saying before the series started.

[Sean Cagney]

If Dirk can handle Pau he can probably handle Bosh.

Pau played like an abosolue though, he was not in it at all it seemed and he admitted it! I am thinking Bosh will play alot better than he did.

[Nathan89]

Then there goes Dallas's rebounding Bosh is a perimeter big man similar to Dirk. Is Dallas going to live with Bosh dragging Chandler outside he paint with his face up game leaving the boards vulnerable?

This. Dirk will guard Bosh because Mavs need Chandler to protect the paint and get rebounds.

That being said the pressure of the NBA finals by affect the shot of Bosh. The Mavs can live with Bosh shooting jumpers, they just need to keep Lebron and Wade out of the paint/off the ft line.

Dirk better not be guarding Bosh. He better guard Joel Anthony. Bosh could get him in foul trouble.

If Heat beat the Mavs I doubt it will be because Bosh hit an incredible amount of jumpers with high efficiency.

I'm not saying it helps my argument. I'm saying you didn't remember my argument and I at you acting like I was just hating or saying something outlandish.

I said it was a wash at best from a talent standpoint, which is true, but obviously how Tyson fits and what he adds is more conducive to winning.

Ultimately at the end of the day what I said was that the Mavs won't win a le and I'm not wrong about that yet. However, I was wrong to say that without being fully healthy they aren't true contenders.

[mavsfan1000]

Ture. It will be the combination of Bosh, James, and Wade making it impossible to defend them.

[badfish22]

I was wrong

finally...

[Nathan89]

Dirk better not be guarding Bosh. He better guard Joel Anthony. Bosh could get him in foul trouble.

I'm not worried about Bosh getting Dirk into foul trouble. It's not like he attacks the rim like Amare. Amare will attack through his opponents body and Bosh doesn't do that. Bosh goes to the rim sometimes on the roll but in that case Dirk just has to contest as best as possible without fouling.

[DPG21920]

finally...

Are you re ed? Do you want me to link to the numerous times I have said this

Maybe if you weren't jocking shticks all day you would have seen it.

[badfish22]

I'm just glad it finally came out tbh.

[DPG21920]

Hey BadFish, you are a very smart guy and a lot of people really enjoy your company.

[Ghazi]

hey DPG, you're a very smart guy and you were wrong about the Mavs.

[DPG21920]

Ghazi we gonna drink and watch the Mavs?

[mavsfan1000]

I can't imagine the massive suicide in Dallas if Miami wins it again. The world might as well be over. I guess we all gotta stick together through these hard times. There is always pain killers to help.
