being a fan of Dallas sports teams, you quickly (or slowly) come to realize that you shouldn't ever invest in anyone other than family and friends for a source of happiness because you'll be let down in the most a**-pounding of ways, time and time again.
disregard if you have family or friends on Dallas sports teams. lulz.

Im so sick of watching Barea dribbling in circles with his terrible passes.
Mavs have zero offense to count on other than dirk. And still he almost pulled the team out of the hole they were in.
Great defense after sucking in the first quarterish

Let's go Mavs!!!

I'll be honest... 14 turnovers against the Heat isn't that bad. What's costly is the absolutely unforced turnovers that lead to slams.. or the Marion just not paying attention turnover that ended up being a lebron throwdown.

What game were YOU watching?? I agree the Mavs got 2 calls ... maybe 3 at the most ... but they DID NOT get "almost all the questionable calls". The Heat got 2 or 3 TIMES the questionable calls that the Mavs got. And that is not that of me being a Mavs homer. It just is the truth.

xrobx, I'll be honest..part of me doesn't want to watch anymore.. That's just the way it is when you suffer through a heart wrenching loss such as this. However, you'll be glad that you watched when the Mavs win game 4 to even the series.

I think Haywood was missed in this game and I really hope he plays the next game.
I'm not giving up on the Mavs yet and would it kill RC to give Brewer a chance to see what he can do vs. the Heat because Peja hasn't be right since the Lakers series.

I recommend getting on both knees rather than bending over fully standing...
that's what I've learned over the years from getting continually ass fucked by these pussy ass Dallas teams I support.

First, this isn't Dirk's fault. The German did more then enough, all he asked for was a little help from his teammates. We cannot afford to turn the ball over so much, it's just unreal. When we turn the ball over they destroy us at the other end of the court because lets face it, we're not athletic as they are. Our beloved Mav's are a veteran team and we need to show that with ball handling or else we are going to lose, plain and simple. 2nd, we NEED someone else to step besides Dirk. Peja has been fucking awful this series and Terry is on and off. JJ needs to get his head straight and learn to pass and set his teammates up. If he drives, he CANNOT afford to miss at all or else no one will take him seriously when he drives.
I was counting on JJ being the xfactor for us since he can draw the defense to him but since he is not hitting his shots he becomes worthless.
Bottom line imo.. our bench needs to step the fuck up.

Since some people don't like new threads...
Reasons we lost:
1. The Heat continue to shoot out of their ass from three.
Chalmers: 4-6 (now 8-18 on the series) 35% beforehand for the playoffs
Wade: 2-4 (now 6-15 on the series) 20% beforehand for the playoffs
It's nothing short of bullshit luck, and I doubt it changes.
2. JJB. 2-8, 4 turnovers, yet somehow our clueless excuse of a "coach" plays him 19 minutes. How many wide open threes does he need to miss? How many times does he have to fail to get the ball to Dirk? How many times does he have to turn it over? How many times do guys have to shoot right over him? We win this game if that POS could hit just one WIDE OPEN shot.
3. Peja. I'm beyond done with him. I don't want to see that worthless POS play one more minute. It's one thing if he misses shots. It's another to play with ZERO effort. That's what he did. He demonstrated ZERO effort on defense and for a stretch it the 2nd half it KILLED us. He gave a WIDE OPEN three because his lazy ass didn't rotate. Guys were busting their ass on D...except for him.
4. Coach Dumbass. Overplaying JJB yet again. This POS has been a liability ALL series, yet you play him almost half the 4th? You go to him early in the third? Then, he waited WAY too late to start trapping Wade in the 4th. It was clear Wade was killing us, make someone else beat you.
5. Once again, it's Dirk and scrubs. Sad story of Dirk's life. There's just too many times where he gets NO help whatsoever. None. Even with constant double teams, 34 points. Next highest scorer, 15.
11-21. +12.
Rest of team, 17-69. That's 25% folks. 25%. Way to step up, boys.
Sad that in a game Dirk played so fantastically, his teammates let him down so hard. That's probably the ring right there. Pisses me off he and Kidd won't get a ring because of bitches like Peja and JJB.

Yea I said this in the GDT at halftime. The fact that the majority of our turnovers are by a general NBA consensus "unforced". It's not that their defense is pressuring us into all of these turnovers. The mental lapses and passes...blahhhhh

an illegal Chalmers 3 is the difference on the scoreline....
the tons of questionable calls we benefited from are embedded into our overall score as well...

xrobx, regardless of what whether or not what you say is true (and I do not doubt you), it is unquestionably not ok for you to take that type of abuse for what you said in this post game thread. I do apologize for the behavior of some.

The way the game was going early in the 4th I would have liked to see Kidd come back about a minute in. It's the finals and J.J. is awful. Would stretching him to 40 kill him? Rick knows his players better then I do so maybe 36 is the limit but it was tough to see the game get pissed away in the first 5 minutes of the quarter.

Yes, that was the deal before we entered the playoff´s. Players ( Bench ) stepping up, while the Heat focusses on Dirk. But i did not see them for most of the time.

Jjb and peja are losing this series. If peja isnt a dnp coaches decision in game 4, excluding situational subs like cardinal tonight, its a mistake.

You sir are a complete moron. People need to get off roddy's nuts, how many minutes does he have in the playoffs? I agree he will change the game...buy allowing 20 more pts.

I don't think the Mavs got all the calls by any stretch of the imagination.. there were some questionable calls that went both ways. The push in the back that Kidd was called for on Wade was a call in which a ref should be fined or fired. There were missed calls both ways. Overall, I just don't have a huge problem with the way the game was officiated.

The formula for Barea's minutes needs to be (48 minutes) - (Kidd's Minutes). Short of overtime, this should never be strayed from. It's beyond me why you would keep him on the court when Kidd is in the game.

Jason Terry is/will always be overrated. His defense is questionable at best and his shooting is something that no team should ever depend on. He always tries to play through bad shooting and in the Finals that is definitely not a possibility.
If Dallas loses this series it will always be looked at as the series that Jason Terry killed.

I'm the same way. I stopped watching after 2006 when we lost.. I could not handle the humiliation in high school. But don't worry man, I have faith in this quad and you should too. We are going to rebound in game 4, we will win this series, just watch. Now everyone wants to talk crap about the mavs being soft, just watch how we're going to destroy them in game 4. Just hang in it, trust me.

Exactly.
The true story: Mavs played like shit and they lost.
Just unacceptable play from the bench.
