Surprised no one started a thread yet....
Twolves are slumping so they are due....and, can the mavs come out with more intensity than Tuesday?

It is a good game so far - the Mavs seem to be more intense to begin the game tonight.

amazing.
i know i'm going to be bitched out for this...but fin, make good decisions, please?..don't force it if you're surrounded underneath. hell, if there's three people on you..there has got to be a couple of shooters open somewhere

Ugly start. But it's expected when you are playing with new people again.

Bradley... here's a wild idea: get within a foot from Rasho. Geez.

i think it has more to do with the mavs giving rasho that shot. if he hits the deep jumper..he hits it..but when minnesota penetrates, bradley drops down to help out..well, this leads to open looks for rasho

Sweet run - the shot by Fin was BEAUTIFUL!
10-0 run to end the first to tie the game - GREAT!

If someone penetrates then I agree. However no one on the Wolves penetrated that required Bradley to be in the lane.....

Hubie just said Finley had the whole package- a great slasher, shooter...ok fine, I will give him that..BUT- then he also added, " a great ball handler" PLEASE...give me a break...

Dirk should've stopped a few dribbles sooner.
Playing a lot better D... and closing the rebounding gap.

BBL, i have the feeling that the only reason you would want to punch me in the stomach now would simply because it's what's expected from everyone. it's simply ingrained in your blood.
but, i'm sure you really don't hate me nearly as badly as you used to.
anyway, back to the game.. nice shot by nash... getting the mavs within three

it's definitely ingrained in my mind... but you're not so bad.
i'm itching to leave work so i can watch the rest of the game. good luck with the rest of the updates.

you know..NVE would be a major asset if he didn't have piss poor shot selection.
it's amazing how much ugly sh*t he throws up.. there's no reason to force anything on this team.
and now, the t-wolves are simply on fire..gotta ride it out..
damn nash, two stupid ass decisions in a row..get him out of the game

Our point guard play is a little ragged right now. I wish the Mavs would put in Johnson to settle things down.

well, dirk and fin are playing pretty well right now..and nve isn't playing badly..just taken a couple of dumb shots.
truthfully, minnesota has just hit shots.. it has something to do with some stupid turnovers but..it has alot to do with just hitting shots.. and alot to do with the mavs perimeter players not sticking a hand in the t-wolves faces when shooting.
