**Mavs vs Suns Gamethread**

[Ozzman]

MAN the Mavs choked harder than Monica Lewinsky on Bill Clinton.....

[pking]

Dirk's tech was a true indicator of his inability to lead his team.

BS. Dude had a terrible game but that's bull . Before tonight, the majority of smart NBA fans were picking him as MVP...He's lead is team to a 52-11 record which while it isn't a pretty as 53-10 would've been, it's still pretty ing nice. If this were the playoffs, I might agree with that...but one ing technical foul because he felt he was fouled does not show that Dirk can't lead a team.

[Purple & Gold]

If Dirk would have jumped into him, he would have gotten the call.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

amare does need to chill out cuz he's gonna tech his suns out of games.


while the spurs dont draw techs they still way way too much


if anything i'd probably be more inclined to call fouls on the spurs because they don't stop crying. I love the team to death and while it does feel like we've calmed down with the ing this year to a degree, I just hope we can nut up and play ball and not worry about the officiating.


Also, to be honest, I wouldn't mind one of our players getting a tech here or there to fire up the team. The only person who gets techs for us to motivate us is pop and sometimes I'd like to see one of our players take charge.

Not to say I want us to get thrown out of games, but just a little bit of fiery emotion would be nice to get everyone pumped.

Dang. Dallas had that game won. They choked pretty hard.

I was pulling for them too.

Yep, the Dallas Chokers, everybody.

i don't think the mavs have a true leader, they never have. they've got guys like stack and jet to pump them up but even dirk will shy away from questions about being the leader of the team.

But they don't get Technicals. You know why? Because they can get their point across but still be professionals by not swearing at the refs. Something the Mavs, Suns and especially certain Pistons would be wise to learn. You're allowed to argue with a ref, but you have to treat him with respect.

Amare's a of player, but a complete dope. He came off REALLY poorly in that McCallum book. Dude is dumber than a brick. And throwing the ball at Carroll that other game was weak.

Aside from Amare being stupid. I don't think the Spurs are the only classy team. I think a lot of the players on the Suns, and a few on the Mavs are pretty respectful.

I think Dirk has anger management problems, but for the most part the Mavs aren't "not" classy. They have a few questionable players like Terry the ballbuster, and Dirk's temper tantrums, but eh. I don't think Spurs fans should take exception to the class of their players. Duncan is prone to being a big fat whiner. Pop had to tell him to cut it out a couple months ago.

The Mavs choked harder than Dirk Nowitzki on Steve Nash ......

Man
i know Tim whines alot, but Dirk was just out of control tonight

[aaronstampler]

Man, I dont know if Ive ever seen a team look better in a loss than the Mavs did tonight

You're kidding, right? Their defense was ing awful.

I'll say it again - the indicator was when he wouldn't let up and almost got a 2nd tech after Amare knocked the ball out bounds and Dirk thought it should have been a foul... Buckner saved him from that

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Damn. you beat me to it.

On the court? perhaps you're right.

Cuban once again shines as the biggest baby involved with the NBA.

Any GIFs available of him pushing the camera yet?

[ponky]

good god, kids in the 'burbs are nutz

[Amuseddaysleeper]

All I'm saying is this


if there's less than 5 seconds left


I'd still want either Dirk or Kobe taking that shot if I got to pick out of the entire league

I second the notion. I missed it. But he's so lame for a public figure.

[cornbread]

I know his game won't get much attention but Stack was amazing tonight.

[Ozzman]

Dirk was weaker than MTV's The Real Wrold: Road Rules Challenge......

[Viva Las Espuelas]

i thought i saw that. i wonder is stu jackson's mailbox will be filled with a tape of "questionable" calls.

[dirk4mvp]

Funny how nobody says when Dirk hit the game winner last time they played, but are all over him when he misses it tonight.

I ing thought he was gonna pull up and hit a 3 to win it in the 2nd OT... MVP will be won in Phoenix in 2 1/2 weeks

It will probably end up on youtube with "OWNED" written on it.


It's not very often Mark doesn't want a camera on him.
