Ok..we're open for predictions and comments.
I'm still hoping to hold them under 90. I expect us to score around 108 and am hoping to see Fin step up. The best thing would be to see us put 4 sustained good quarters together. And to come out of this game HEALTHY.

There's a little bit of confusion here. On Espn, it already said the game had started, and Chicago was up 2 nothin. I thought it was a typo until I went on NBA.COM. It didn't have a score, but it said they was in the 1st quarter. Now I ask you, is this a coincidence, or something bigger?

Its 15-6 Dallas. Bradley closing down the lane, Dirk is abusing the babies. Nash and Finley are looking nice and active.

Bradley needs to get to Curry. He's doing a good job on help defense but not so good on the man-to-man.

Finley has started going to the basket which is what got him from 2-8 to 4-10. Hopefully he'll keep it up. Other than Fin's shot being off, I can't think of a single thing to complain about right now. Even with Nash sitting, the offense is running well, the defense is effective. It's all good.

I haven't really seen any bad shots he has tookin though I haven't watched the whole game so far though. Anyone mind tellin me who was the poster who said Walt will take the Danny Manning role of this team? Boy where they wrong this guy is lookin like he could take Nick's position as our 6th man. Not taking anything away from Nick I am pleased with our bench but I am a bit dissapoitned in Griffen. I am sure he is gonna come through just don't konw when.

Damn. Finley just flubbed an alley-oop. That was sad.

Oh and too be clear, Fin's shot selection hasn't been too bad. A couple that were not so good, but for the most part he just seems to be in a major shooting slump. For all his hot shooting from the field, Dirk is having problems at the line (2-4 so far)

Just looking at the game stats live, Williams and Bradley are looking good.
Not sure how Bradley misses those layups like he does, but what a relief to see him playing like he was 2 years ago.

Nice sign. Refs just called one of the most bogus fouls on Bradley I have ever seen and he didn't do anything that would give the refs the slightest excuse to T him up.

In that case there were about 5 guys jostling around the basket and it was more a missed tip than a lay up.

The refs ought to stop this game. The way the Mavs are abusing the Bulls ought to be illegal.

Bradley has a fair amount of rebounds but I swear he would have TWICE as many if he wasn't fumbling around so much. He IS trying and I like that.

What would be scary is if Bradley gets a triple-double.
8pts, 9rbs, 7blks Another double-double for Dirk. I'm glad to see that Fin has gotten to the ft line a couple times tonight since he's shooting so poorly again. PLUS, he's rebounding and assisting and that's what he needs to do when shooting poorly.

Commentators just brought up a problem. Bradley's at 28 minutes now. Dirk's at 24. Mavs have another game, against their toughest opponent yet tomorrow night. Nash and Finley will be well rested, but Nelson can't get both Bradley and Dirk rested since if he sits both, he's going to have Najera or Williams as Center. And Chicago has enough length that in that situation they could actually make a run.

I said Williams would be the Manning of this team I meant it cause is an older guy (33, I think, and obviously with more range than Manning) with a history of injury problems.
I just didn't think Nellie would give him many minutes on this team. He has a sweet stroke though. |

I'd think he could sit both Dirk and Bradley for a few minutes right now and see how it goes with Najera or Williams at center.
If they make a serious run, bring one of them in. What about Eschmeyer, he was listed as probable tonight, is he suited up at all? Figuring it was the Bulls, they could sit him another game and give the knee a rest.

Mavs are playing so small that I think Nájera is now the center.
The bench keeping the 30 points lead. Edit. 35 points now. It's a massacre.

Well. 25 mins for Dirk count as rested. 31 for Bradley is another story, but atleast it´s that early in the season he should be able to have another 20 quality minutes for next night.

Now Nájera is playing point guard and Avery as center.
Edit: 40 points lead and Hamilton (ups, Harrington)watching the game in tv. What a waste.

5 minutes to go, 106-73, Mavs in control.
Walt Williams is having a nice game, but is one foul away from fouling out. 13pts, 10rbs and a block in 23 minutes of play.

Sheesh, we're having out pockets picked out there right now.
Griffin has 3 turnovers now, AJ 2 in a row. Still a comfortable lead with under 4 minutes to play. Too bad it doesn't reflect how we really crushed the Bulls tonight.

Sorry Hoops...they haven't made a run at us.
Everyone has played well. Sorry for the 34-20 "halftime" post. There's a bit of a party on here and I was trying to post fast. great night (even if it was the bulls) Walt has definitely impressed me with this performance...Eddie too...and Avery...and on and on. Held em to 87 !

Then a back-handed compliment. He did a hell of a lot more than "try" today. He was a major, major defensive force in there. I don't mind calling bradley out when he stinks but tonight he was the 3rd of the big three.

Double-double for Dirk, double-double for Williams, and believe it or not, Bradley was on pace for his 7th career triple-double if not for needing to rest for tomorrow nite's game...
nice game, just what the doctor ordered... rest the starters for tough game vs Detroit... gotta flex my vocal chords, they're gonna need us fans to charge 'em up, I think [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] oh... on Fin blowing the alley-oop... I've counted 3 such plays this season... he just kinda lobs it up, doesn't catch & SLAM! like he should... gotta work on that! fun one tonite... 5-0... of course, with the sked, that was expected...

The ball would come right to him and he would drop it and it would either go out of bounds or to one of the Bulls. It is maddening to watch. He, seriously, should have had TWICE as many rebounds and the Bulls would have had less points and rebounds, if Bradley could hold onto the ball. Last year I didn't see much effort. This year, he is trying. That's a major improvement. Now they need to work on basic ballhandling drills to get him comfortable with the ball in his hands. He was clutzy tonight and still put up numbers. |
