Yesssss. I missed this picture.

LetsGoMavs · 01-02-2012, 11:00 PM

LO...err...Lammy, VC and Delonte all looked pretty good tonight - let's hope they'll be able to continue this trend against the Suns.

crunchyfries · 01-02-2012, 11:01 PM

I think Haywood deserves to enter the squirrel pic ranks after tonight.

Underdog · 01-02-2012, 11:02 PM

Lamar Odom with 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in 20 minutes - looks like he's starting to get a little more comfortable...

clutch#41 · 01-02-2012, 11:02 PM

good overall game by everybody. best game of the season for the mavs by far

Rick41 · 01-02-2012, 11:05 PM

F the Thunder.

alby · 01-02-2012, 11:05 PM

Next 5:
v. Suns
@ Spurs
v. Hornets
@ Pistons
@ Celtics

I'll take the GDT for the Spurs and Celtics games as well. 1-0.

Great to see Vince being aggressive tonight. Also, we saw glimpses of what Lamar's versatility can bring to this team. Quality win for the good guys.

Russell Westbrook, the starting PG for the OKC Thunder:
29 assists
29 turnovers

j0Shi · 01-02-2012, 11:05 PM

So we lost to the Thunder by 2 on Thursday and now beat them by 13. If that's our 5-day progress I'll take it.

sefant77 · 01-02-2012, 11:07 PM

Today we had the first little outlook how it could look in april. Just much better.

Carter shredding some pounds, knowing the system and willing to make the best play (= also passing), he will be a great fit.

Might want to merge the postgame threads together

Should've swapped him for Paul when they had the chance.

Bullsh*t. You will create every game day thread until you lose.

Kante · 01-02-2012, 11:09 PM

The transition D needs some work still but it looks better overall. Odom needs a week or 2 until he shows what he can, Carter getting better. Those 4 TO in a row at the end were hilarious, can´t happen if the game is a bit closer!

Overall solid win!

agree completely. i was wrong with VC in the beginning. i thought he was done. proved me and other doubters wrong. VC and a TMAC Flashback Day? lol

nowhereman · 01-02-2012, 11:12 PM

Well done crew

CadBane · 01-02-2012, 11:13 PM

Man, Shawn Marion epitomized a tale of two halves. His first half was one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. He missed easy chippie after chippie. It's really frustrating when your teammates set you up for such easy shots and you miss them all. The second half he was making everything, including Jamison style shots. Weird.

Dirk was great. +24. Team needs to do a better job of maintaining leads when he's on the bench. I'd also like to see them go to Dirk a bit more often, especially earlier in the game. He makes life so easy on everyone with a simple post touch.

I wish Wood would play like this every game. This is what he's capable of. Loved his put-back dunk.

VC was playing very smart on the low-block, nice to see him get it going.

Lamar looked much better, but it's still a work in progress.

Jet continues to look fine playing the point, and he had his shot going.

West had a couple of really sick crossovers tonight.

Kidd was Kidd. Transition D a nightmare, but still savvy as ever.

Ian is looking good on offense, his D is still suspect, but at least he hit the D boards better.

Hopefully this will be the start of something.

Bhzrd543 · 01-02-2012, 11:18 PM

Dirk was dirk tonight....i just wish that west would turn his head sometimes after a pick and roll with dirk since hes wide open most of the time (at least in this game)

West was solid

Loving lammy and carter tonight! I cant wait until everyone starts clicking together

Haywood was great, but i would love to see Ian Mahinmi get a start sometime in the next few games...just to see what would happen

this game was a fantastic preview of what is to come and it put into perspective just how good this team can really be

im sure everyone will be fully fit within the next week or so

Dale4Saul2Red0 · 01-02-2012, 11:22 PM

LAMMMMMMMMY

haCORErdMav · 01-02-2012, 11:22 PM

Didn't see the game but could someone explain the major differences in this win vs the other losses.... other than points scored >.>

We played Mavs basketball.

Good team effort. Bench destroyed OKC.

Basically, the usual.

sure....its really simple...the bench was fantastic...rebounding was great...and fitness is coming together.....we can attribute the previous losses to lack of fitness and being out hustled by younger players

tonight however i think marks a turning point in this season...lets hope vince and lammy keep playing the way they played tonight

oh and RC finally gave Dirk his minutes...i think dirk had a word with him after he was substituted at one point in the game

CapitanObvious · 01-02-2012, 11:37 PM

How the Media sees the MAVS.

How MAVS FANS SEES the MAVS.

What the MAVS really are

clutch#41 · 01-02-2012, 11:38 PM

The box score looks good, Especially on assists.

Played Mavs basketball, Team effort, and Bench in Destroy mode.

I figured having such a deep bench would be a huge advantage this season. Im just turned off by possible trades.

So lammy is Lamar Odom? I like that nick but how about some Lamodium because Mitch has a stomach ache from that trade.

FYI:
Yi was in the building tonight. He's a legit 6-10.

Flacolaco · 01-03-2012, 12:49 AM

This is more like it. This gives me a little hope.

But mostly... still pretty happy about last year.

Presti also rejected Rondo+expiring for Westbrook+Perkins (bad contract), a huge mistake. Rondo would be able to give Durant open buckets all game long.

Now everyone knows that Westbrook not only chucks but he simply is a locker room cancer. Durant probably wants this guy gone as soon as possible.

Let's take it easy.

Are we looking at him?

He's good

completely missed when that happened lol. I'm excited about that, great move.

When was this trade proposed?

Is this issue with Marion really that bad?

Carter hasn't been here that long so i don't think rick really knows what he has to work with yet.

I say make him work! Pass it to him until he has an imprint that says spalding on his hands. The guy needs to earn his check. Not just be a non factor on offense
