Game Three, bitches: come get you some
The streets around American Airlines Center will run red with the blood of the infidels after this second-round meeting of NBA playoff foes. It will be known that the evil intruders from the north and west have not the physical prowess nor the moral rectitude to challenge our good and godly hometown squad.
The winner of this contest has been ordained, by a great god on high.
Let there be mercy on their fallen souls.

Your unorthodox naming convention of this thread may lead us to greatness.
Then again, we may blame it, and you for not putting "GDT" in the title
Only time, and Josh's ankle will tell.

In times like these, flaco, the last thing we are worried about is orthodoxy.
It's time to pull out all the stops, to go hell bent for leather, and to the Denver Nuggets up the at each and every available opportunity.
I laugh at the people who say we are dead. We're a damn sight from dead yet.

Forgive me, Evil, my brother, because we haven't seen you in a long time.
We need a jolt.

When the JET is through with them tomorrow as the sun sets, their very souls will cry out, and their weary legs will take them scurrying in fear, their pants soiled, and their entourages sullied with the bird #@$% of a thousand angry avian Maverick minions.

Yeah this is more or less the best GDT I've seen since I started here.

Anyways, this series is not over. Many times the opponent takes the early rounds only to come up like a dog later in the fight.
Make this series a series tomorrow, Mavs!

Hope Howard is good to go.
all I can say is LESS turnovers and MORE transition DEFENSE. the two basically go hand in hand. That has been the biggest story of the first 2 games and I feel it is something the Mavs can control!

Tough game, but the series ain't over yet. If we win this game, it would be huge. Hopefully Dirk will use the game to forget his personal problems for a while by dropping 40...

The sunset will be bloody red, the chicken nuggets already cowering in fear, vultures will feed upon them... After the dust has settled in AAC.

I literally crushed a couple of chicken Mcnuggets last night in my hands. That's how pumped I am.
And I was hungry too.
Come to think of it I'm sort of regretting the decision at the moment, but I just thought I'd do my part.
Go Mavs!

Nuggets - Mavericks Preview

DALLAS (AP) -- In their romp through the playoffs thus far, the Denver Nuggets have made only one mistake: blowing Game 3 of their first-round series.
Up 2-0 on the Hornets, and playing in New Orleans, the Nuggets jumped way ahead in the opening minutes -- then wound up losing. They bounced back in a big way the next game and haven't lost since.
On Saturday, Denver gets another Game 3 on the road, again while up 2-0. This time it's against the Dallas Mavericks.
Have the Nuggets learned their lesson? Do they now understand the difference between a playoff road game and a regular-season road game?
Denver coach George Karl is eager to find out.
"Game 3 always has a sort of home-court intensity that big-time pros know how to take advantage of, and I think Dallas is made up of big-time pros," Karl said. "They're going to have a home-court energy that's going to be more than New Orleans was. It's going to be hotter. It's going to be a hot building where we're going to have to keep 48 minutes of composure and focus and make sure we stay on track and on point to how to win the game."
The Nuggets haven't had many problem with the Mavericks so far, using their size and strength to bully their way to the basket seemingly at will. Both games have featured stretches when everything came easy for Denver and nothing was easy for Dallas.
Yet the Mavericks haven't been total bystanders. In both games, they led early and got close with about a quarter left. The difference has been Denver pulling away and Dallas unable to stop it.
Mavs coach Rick Carlisle and staff have had three days to come up with some new strategies and some backups in case those don't work. There's also been time for Josh Howard to rest his ailing ankles. And there's the twin comforts of being home (where Dallas is 17-1 since mid-February) and being out of Denver's high altitude.
"Coming home is something that can help you, but it doesn't guarantee anything," Carlisle said Friday. "Our whole game's got to get better. There are a lot of things we can do in the first three quarters that will help us be in better shape going into the fourth."
Dirk Nowitzki is always Dallas' main man, but perhaps especially so Saturday. He's spent the days since Game 2 dealing with the arrest of a woman who was living at his house and the fallout from it, including constant media attention. Having a game to play should be a great release, and fans are likely to show him plenty of support.
"Watching him prepare the last two days, he looks like he's focused, ready to go," guard Jason Terry said.
In going 6-1 this postseason, Denver has won by margins of 12 points to 58. No nail-biters -- well, except for that 97-95 loss to New Orleans in Game 3.
"It's easy while you're winning and you're in front," Terry said. "We'll see what happens if we put a little pressure on them, come out and handle our business in Game 3 and see what happens in the next one after that."
Then again, the Nuggets are 6-0 against the Mavericks this season. They have won twice in Dallas, including that lone home loss by the Mavs the last three months, a fact Denver's Chauncey Billups and Kenyon Martin insisted Friday they didn't know.
"We're just trying to be better than we were in Game 2," Martin said. "It's going to be rowdy in here. We played here late in the year and it was loud. I can only imagine what it's going to be like now. There's a lot more at stake, so we've just got to stay together knowing we're in enemy territory."
Billups said he expects a more conservative approach, as in fewer risk-reward plays because part of the risk is giving up easy baskets that would fire up the crowd.
"A 9-0, 9-2 run makes the visiting team feel like it's a lot worse when you've got good fans," Billups said. "So we just got to control the tempo and not take as many chances offensively."
Carmelo Anthony said the lessons from Game 3 against New Orleans should help, too.
"I just think the intensity and the energy that we started off that game with, and then we kind of let up, kind of got relaxed, kind of got complacent," he said. "I think we've learned from that mistake."

Based on Ron Artests flagrant 2 last night, KMart definitely should have gotten a flagrant 2, not a T (later upgraded). I don't even think Artest deserved a flagrant, period.

we come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow
the hammer of the gods
will drive our ships to new lands
to fight the hordes, sing and cry
valhalla I am coming
The Immigrant Song always gets me fired up.

Tonight is going to be brutal. I fear for all those watching that you may see something so horrific that it will be forever etched into the deepest recesses of your psyche. These Dallas Mavericks want blood, they want every last drop of it, and by all that has meaning, they will get it. This series may well reach its conclusion this very day, because the Nuggets will have to be swept off the floor by the AAC custodial crew.

As long as we stop letting nene destroy us, and getting costly turnovers, we should be fine.
We need josh's help, but weve kept it together and havent been destroyed as of yet, not by enough to feel like giving this series up.
especially after having semi lackluster efforts by damn near everyone.
we can definitely win tonight, especially with dirk pissed off about his woman.
Jet could also step it up.
Now that were outta the damn mountains of colorado and the altitude isnt screwing with people, we`ll see iff we can tie this thing up, and maybe be more acclimated to denver on our next go round.
anyway, GO MAVS!
