Dallas @Memphis

[Killakobe81]

Mavs are not tanking they are good. But are not true le contenders this year ...

[Venti Quattro]

In other games. Indiana lays a turd after beating OKC yesterday.

Is Memphis gonna blow this lead or is Dallas too old to finish the job?

[DPG21920]

Dirk with some good defense than a bonehead play.

[DPG21920]

Conley is such a thief.

Randolph still does well enough in the limited minutes he gets off the bench. He has another 3 or so weeks to get into form too.

How often/how many minutes do Duncan and Splitter get together though, b/c that's what it's going to take. You saw last year that either Gasol or Randolph would take turns dominating the turd towers--and as the series went on Duncan eventually tired out and got manhandled too.

If they don't already play significant minutes together then that could disrupt chemistry when they're forced too. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

The stupid thing is that Splitter's game isn't dramatically different from Blair's, who Duncan plays alongside frequently, so he should fit in nicely next to Tim.

Don't get Pop's aversion to playing those two significant minutes together.

as usual, Dirk putting up TOSB numbers 5-16, 17 points, Kobe would be proud, tbh

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Gasol steals it!

They were in prime shape to make a comeback with 3 mins left and just completely the bed.

Mav fan (is there one on ST?)
Mavs quitting

Dallas. They look done tbh. Memphis does look legit, but I really don't see them beating the Spurs again in a 7-game series.

[Killakobe81]

People expecting Dallas to "turn it on" because they are the defending champs are just as delusional as some Laker fans were last year. I didnt expect a 2nd round sweep ..who did?
But I knew last year's squad wasnt likely winning . Lakers aint winning it this year and neither are Mavs ...

[jeebus]

Lamar's picked up the tempo tbqh

Lakers probably won't win it, but they are contenders.

Killa gon' be wrong about dem Lakers!

Preach that , old man.

[Venti Quattro]

I thought he already played well. But he's only got 1 rebounds to show for.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Its a shame the spurs play the jazz so many times

Cuz that's just going to ensure Dallas makes the playoffs

[SpursIndonesia]

Well, Memphis is indeed rounding into form as a post season threat, though not so much of a championship contender. Another playoff victim tonite, the defending champ which played with so little urgency (tanking for the 8th spot ? They might tank into the lottery as well then).

[TheChillFactor]

WTF is wrong with these gots - they cant even inbound the ball or throw a simple ing outlet pass...
