If only Mahinmi were called up, then nail 20 & 10 against them. Then all my fantasies would come true...
It could be interesting to see what we can do against Dallas without Timmy.
Manu is playing like long-haired Manu, Tony has reached another level, and Cisco and Oberto are more familiar with Pop's system (but again, Cisco and Fab are better with Timmy)
It could be fun

I'm not, I have ing tiered tickets for that game..... Told you mofos!
This pretty much will sum up the game on Wed:
-Mavs will suck again on the road
-Avery will play small ball and play Bass/Dirk together in crunch time and give up crucial offensive rebounds
-J-Ho will not pass the ball
-Dirk will once again look like a roll player
-Stack will shoot 2-10
-Devin will pickup 6 fouls on block/charge calls
-JET will show up and score 30(only player on Mavs with some balls (Stack sometimes does))
-Oh ya, Spurs will win without Duncan and the city of Dallas will start chanting "FIRE AVERY" at home games
I don't know if I'm looking forward to it but, it is going to be interesting to see who steps up for the Spurs.
i wonder what the starting line up is gonna be..
i dont think the one tha Pop used for starting the 3rd quarter would work against Dallas.
My idea is that he may start with Oberto, Bonner, Bowen, Finley and Parker.
I had tickets to this game but gave them up due to finals
Finley is overdue for a big game, especially after those last two stinkers. Hopefully he goes off against the Mavs.
Never look forward to seeing the Spurs without Duncan on the court...
God, I hope not. That's a terrible lineup. Right now, at least start Barry, if not Manu. Who the is gonna get boards with this lineup? Terrible defensive lineup as well. I hope Pop doesn't go with this.
I'd prefer to have Oberto as a PF and Elson as C. The way Finley's playing, I'd almost say sit him if he doesn't make at least his first 2 outta 3 shots, coming off the bench.
Bonner backup PF, Horry backup C.
This is who I'd like to see start:
Parker
Manu
Bowen
Oberto
Elson
That lineup at least gives us some D and rebounding (comeon Elson, step up...and box out) as well as scoring.
Off the bench
Jacque (prefer washington)
Brent
Horry
Finley (only because I don't want him starting. I'd prefer he not play at all)
Udoka
Bonner
Hopefully we can get some scoring outta Finley and Brent. Horry's kinda an unknown right now.
Man, Duncan leaves a damn big hole. After him, seriously weak at PF slot.
Wow! A bit of dissent in Dallas, huh? Slamming J Ho and Dirk is not typical Mav fan behaviour!
I wonder if the Spurs will call up Mahinmi, and if they do how much actual game time he would get. This doesn't look good, because as is Elson, Oberto, and Bonner are going to log some mega minutes as Horry can't be expected to contribute much right now starting cold. With Mahinmi they would at least have some depth and another 7 footer to use his 6 fouls, but Pop probably doesn't want to re his growth over some December games. I just think Elson, Oberto, and Bonner are going to have to buck up and take the challenge on strong.
Well based on early trends in the season, its not to far fetched to see any of those come true. alsoWow! A bit of dissent in Dallas, huh? Slamming J Ho and Dirk is not typical Mav fan behaviour!
if mavs win w/o duncan playing - no one cares bc we should have beat them
if mavs win w/ duncan playing - its regular season and no one cares
if mavs lose w/o duncan playing - its the end of the world as we no it
It's just a regular season game in December.
i think Robert Horry should start and he will pick up the slack as he is a big time Mav hater...
The Spurs will get blown up.
Hopefully, my jinx is working.
Spurs will take this one. The Mavs are playing like right now, and being the mental midgets that they are, they'll show up expecting the Spurs to lay down without Duncan and give them an easy W.
Spurs could run out a lineup of.....
Pg: Vaughn
Sg: D-Wash
Sf: Udoka
PF: Mahinmi
C: Oberto
and they would still lose
I don't know, playing the Spurs seems to cure all the Mavs ills. They always get up against the Spurs and it's the Spurs worst matchup by far. But without Timmy that could mix things up a bit.
How about starting Horry? Seriously. He and Elson have the athleticism to keep up with the Mavs.
Parker
Barry
Bowen
Horry
Elson
to start the game. 4 of those players can drain the trey, keep the Mavs defense from relaxing.
Bring in Manu for his usual boost, play him and Parker for 35-38 minutes. Put Finley and Oberto as needed to guard the slower players on Dallas.
Mix it up! Go really small and run out Parker, Vaughn, Manu, Bowen, Elson. Let the guys have fun with the game.
Starting 3rd quarter vs Blazer. Parker Finley Bowen Bonner Elson. Again vs. Mavs? , no! Pop wouldn't do that, would he?
I agree. And the Mavs in turn seem to put the Spurs into a funk, even Pop.
Are we intimidated?
mavs always turn it up 4 notches when playing the spurs. dont be surprised if dallas blows out san antonio and then loses to denver the next day by 20
It's a win win situation.
It'll be interesting. Sadly I wont be able to see the damn game cause I live in Killeen.
