PGT - Mavs toy with Golden State for their own amusement - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Dirk with 34 points on 10-22 shooting (2-3 3P, 12-12 FT), 13 rebounds (6 offensive), 2 assists and a block in 35 minutes... BAMF!

BGMaverick9 · 03-17-2011, 12:11 AM

Dirk's 6 offensive rebounds mark a new season-high in that category. The previous high of 5 was against DET on 11/23/10. Mavs won that game 88-84.

This season, the Mavs are now 7-3 when Dirk drops at least 30 points in a game.

Mavs are currently a perfect 11-0 when Nowitzki attempts 10-plus free throws in a game.

You have to go back to 12/6/08-12/11/08 to find three consecutive double-doubles in the regular season for Nowitzki.

18 points marks a new season-high in points for Beaubois.

Kidd's bucket was his first since the 8:29 mark of the 3rd quarter of the Lakers game.

Mavs are 14-1 when at least 6 guys record 10-plus points in a game.

Mavs are currently 37-4 when they score at least 100 points.

Don't forget, Roddy played a season and career high 37 minutes tonight.

He EARNED every minute.

That's how Carlisle rolls...

monty55555 · 03-17-2011, 12:22 AM

Nice win Mavs.

Dirk was spectacular. Roddy played his best game in a long long time. His decisions were great and his defense was impressive. Thank you Carlisle for rewarding him with minutes. He really deserved it tonight.

Well, it's almost 1:30am here and I have to wake up for work in a few hours. But the good guys won so it was worth it.

Go Mavs!!!!

That is a pretty sad commentary.

When did I say it did?

My point was that Dirk doesn't rebound like he used to = Duncan doesn't score like he used to.

If it's marking the end of an era, then yes, it's a at least a little bit sad.

I agree with you that Dirk has been rebounding like a badass. I hope you continue to be right and I continue to be wrong.

However, I don't think your example here is a great one. It's harder to get 20/10 than it is to get 10/10.

and basically everyone knows Duncan has regressed a lot in the last two years. Showing a stat like that isn't surprising. It is more surprising for someone like Dirk, who is very much in his prime.

As I said above...

Also, the stat is really not relevant. If the issue is solely Dirk's rebounding, why does it matter if he scored 20 points or not? Why not simply look for three straight 10+ rebound games? (Not an indictment on BG, he was just stating an interesting fact). That's why I noted the 20/10 for TD. Because when he gets 20 (like when Dirk gets 10), it's less likely he'll get the other.

clutch#41 · 03-17-2011, 12:12 AM

runner up player of the game....RoddyB!!!

Go Mavs!!

Rick41 · 03-17-2011, 12:12 AM

I love Dirk.

Roddy is finally being Roddy.

Lol @ GSW.

xrobx · 03-17-2011, 12:14 AM

we fought the law and.... dirk won

6 players in double digits.

was excited to see more brewer tonight... but oh well

Alykhan04 · 03-17-2011, 12:14 AM

For once, no bitching about minute dist. between Roddy and Jet. Only tonight though. No way we go that small for long stretches.

ghazi · 03-17-2011, 12:14 AM

WE STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKED

j0Shi · 03-17-2011, 12:15 AM

OffEff: 121.2
DefEff: 114.8

Somehow found our D in the second half, but we continue to struggle on the defensive end throughout the whole 48 minutes.
Roddy was outstanding defending Ellis.
I feel sorry for Brewer. He got his first start and was part of the Mavericks Unit that got overrun by the Warriors. Never had a chance tonight.

Sportstudi · 03-17-2011, 12:18 AM

Okay, I am just happy that I decided not to go to bed after work. It's 7.15 AM here in Finland, I haven't slept a single minute yet. But damn, it was f*cking worth to watch this show by Dirk! Btw, Dirk's FT-streak is now at 53. After the game against the Pacers he made 52 consecutive. In that game against Indiana he was 9-10, missing his 9th, but converting his 10th.

LetsGoMavs · 03-17-2011, 12:15 AM

Helluva game by Roddy

jthig32 · 03-17-2011, 12:15 AM

Turned out to be a really fun game to watch. Really enjoyed seeing Roddy get extended minutes and playing very well on both sides of the court. Not really sure what you can glean from this moving forward, as it is pretty much a perfect match up for him, but I imagine that's a nice boost of confidence for him if nothing else. He even got to run point for a minute or two.

Dirk was a man-beast and I'm very encouraged by his little rebounding streak. Just doing tonight wouldn't really mean much as Golden State is a terrible rebounding team, but he's been trending upward for several games now. Very nice.

The usual suspects played well, and Kidd still can't hit the broad side of a barn. Very concerned by that.

Corey...yikes. I'd still like to see him get minutes but I'm going to shut up about it for a while based on tonight. He could not possibly have been worse in those few minutes he played.

I'm curious to see what Rick decides to do with the lineup Friday night. Haywood better be back by then.

43 rebounds in 4 games...

BEAST-MODE!!

NASA calibrates the flaws in a planetary body's solar gravitation by comparing it to Dirk's jumpshot.

great job!!!
Go Mavs!!!

Thomas86 · 03-17-2011, 12:20 AM

Props to the Mavs for not giving up, Dirk did his thing and Roddy also.

ribosoma · 03-17-2011, 12:23 AM

Barea made Acie Law look like Oscar Robertson tonight. Need a season or career high? Be an average bench point guard when they play the Mavs. Barea's indecisiveness on the pick-and-roll was staggering. If he can't go left, he'll wheel around and kill five seconds off the shot clock every time you send a big out his way.

CadBane · 03-17-2011, 12:24 AM

Dirk with three straight 20/10 + games.

43 rebounds in his past 4 games. Where are all the rebound complainers? Same place as those concerned about his FT shooting I guess.

Roddy played fantastic. Easily his best game of the year and his defense was very good. Nice to see him finally play in the 4th. Hope RC takes note.

Terry was great.

Marion continues to play very well.

Cardinal continues to be worthless.

JJB continues to be a massive liability. As much as I loathe him, I gave him his props in his good stretch, but he's reverted, and this is what I feared. Regardless of how he plays, RC WILL play him consistently. It's mind boggling, and I say this only half-joking...JJB has dirt on RC. Honestly, it's pretty inexplicable. RC has such a short lease with everyone except JJB, who seems to have carte blanche to screw up. We will not win in the playoffs if he continues to play 15 + MPG. I think we need to play Jet at the PG some, because JJB isn't cutting it.

Kidd continues to play poorly. 37% from the field and 36% from three. He just cannot score, and his three-point shot has been broke all year. He's also been making some uncharacteristic turnovers lately.

Chandler had a pretty good game, but I maintain his defense has been disappointing for a while now. Could be the ankle injury, but it's disconcerting. His rebounding has been down for the last week or two as well.

Brewer was lousy in his start...but he didn't get a chance to redeem himself. I don't know why RC started him, I really just want to see him off the bench to spell Marion.

Rick did give Roddy a few point minutes in the fourth though. Maybe that bodes well for JJ's minutes in the future?

good analysis. and yeah i think kidd needs some time off before the playoffs. call me an idiot but i think a week or 2 of rest is just what he needs. he seems worn out already and has had some rare turnovers lately. some in critical situations.

This is a confusing thing here. His rebounding being down has hurt the team, and it was a concern. Why the derision for people concerned about his rebounding?

No derision...I simply mean that I haven't heard the same complainers (yourself excluded) give credit now that he's been rebounding like crazy.

Ah, fair enough.

Everyone's been too consumed by Carlisle talk to notice Dirk's rebounding I guess.

Really? He's supposed to average over 10 RPG in 32 minutes, all while scoring 20 + points? You realize only three guys in the NBA do that, right?

True, Roddy surely made it easier for RC. But also, Roddy played well in the 4th once given minutes. My point being, I hope next time Roddy plays well early on, RC will trust him enough to play him in the 4th.
