**Mavs vs Suns Gamethread**

[Ozzman]

And Stack stole Kobe's Left Nut for a game...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

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

As evidence of tonight. I'd rather have Nash.

[RonMexico]

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

Where was this???? I still have the game taped... I want to go back and find it

[mardigan]

Right when the game was over

[Ozzman]

And The Mavs grew a Collective Pussy

[Viva Las Espuelas]

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

(insert the common response whenever we bring up our rings)

[mardigan]

By the way Cornbread, you like the new sig?

[ponky]

On the court? perhaps you're right.

assumptions based on one game are awesome...how quickly spurs fans forget about losing to the suns by 16 just last month after being up by five at the half...guess your spurs choked as well with 30% shooting from duncan

[aaronstampler]

I'm kinda curious to see how they'll handle the Pistons game on Sunday. Anyway, night everybody, I'm out.

[Fillmoe]

mavs fans do us all a favor and kill yourselves

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

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

If Dirk had the fire, and that leader's edge, MVP edge He would have had the Larry Bird Balls to just go for the win.

It may sound silly, but maybe it's true. You either are a clutch winner, or you aren't. It's something innate.

[lurker]

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

Steve spent a lot of time whining, too. He just knows how to do it without cursing and yelling, unlike Dirk.

[boutons_]

I wanted the Suns to lose to help the Spurs in the standings,
but it was great how the Mavs lost so painfully. Their fans and Cuban deserve it.

The dilemma is that had the Suns lost, the Mavs would have been insufferably swaggering and confident.

So I guess it's better this way. The Spurs are fine in 3rd seed, with whatever 1st round opponent washes up from the depths of the WC.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ill take Ginobli

he's one of my favorite players but if it comes to shots at the buzzer at the end of games it's gotta be dirk or kobe


but ginobili is in the top 5


also, when it comes to sports, all we can say is

"what have you done for me lately"

and lately dirk choked in a big time game.

i still think he's clutch as obviously but I wouldn't get mad at the naysayers

[G-Money]

Im starting to think all the winning is getting to the Mavs just like it got to the Pistons last year.

[polandprzem]

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.

WTF Fat

That sig is the !

Why doesnt he just do it in German, he would get a lot less
if he did

How you played three months ago doesn't matter. It's all about how you're playing NOW. And the score was a lot closer than it appears, if you watched the game. The Suns ended it with like a 10-0 run in the final two minutes.

[pking]

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

Seems like everyone thinks it was won tonight.


I see your point about the Technical situation, BTW. I just don't necessarily agree that what happened tonight means he can't lead a team. If it was a regular thing, I'd probably agree.

[Ozzman]

The game was poorly played by the Weak German, and the MAvs lost it, the suns did not beat them. But I will give the Suns credit for shooting OUTSTANDING tonight vs. the Mavs. Nobody has done that this season aside from the first four games.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

and yeah i thought dirk would go for three seeing how marion most likely would've kept running and dirk would've had an even more open shot

[ponky]

Cause he didnt just miss one tonight

i can remember a couple of games where manu didn't get that last shot in...and don't even think about going to duncan as the clutch guy at the end of the game...otherwise, show me the proof and i'll match up with a dirk clutch this season

at least dirk gets the ball and makes them half the time, it's easy to diss him when he doesn't make them...same goes for manu because the guy doesn't always make the shot...when they have the balls to take it, no need to diss, but if it makes you feel better, go right ahead

No one thinks that, just pointing out that tonight on a big stage in a big game Dirk choked big time

What are you getting all pissy about? Quit loooking at the Spurs fan under my name?

I wasn't taking a slight, I was just referring to Avery Johnson as their leader they look to.

Please. I wasn't even ragging on the Mavs play. I thought they were in it right there. I just referring to this game right here. And Dirk's behavior today. So all that smack talk about the Spurs, isn't really necessary in reply to my post.

Ease up a bit will ya?
