chill out dude. We are all upset over the performance of our Mavs.

Looked to me like the altitude might have gotten to our guys. In the 4th quarter they looked tired and sloppier than I've seen them in a long time.

Thomas86 · 05-03-2009, 06:34 PM

turnovers, turnovers, turnovers is why we lost and also the Nuggets playing bullie ball and getting away with.

Lor20 · 05-03-2009, 06:42 PM

denver got 28 fast break points - sure - we could have maybe stopped a few of them and made them earn them with a few FT's but then you end up having most of your guys in foul trouble and having to sit down. If dirk was making silly fouls like the one kidd committed (little holding of the arm during a layup attempt) he would get way to many fouls called on him. Dirk actually plays this very smart - he either doesn't foul or fouls hard enough so the basket doesnt go in.
And anyone who demands dirk to dunk over guys - he has a very low vertical leap - he gets barely any elevation (which is why he shoots the fadeaway so much rather than just straight up shoot over top of someone) and if he dunks he just barely gets the height to do it. Dirk dunking over people happens maybe once every 10 games or so and it'll be on a shorter (6' ish) guy, not over a 6'7 guy.

Like I thought before the series, barea wasn't of much use because he can't guart anyone on the team and is to short to get open jumpers on O. if the defender is 8 inches taller they really just have to put their arms up and you are screwed.

For once I wish some of our guys would not have had driven the ball to the hoop as much (especially our short guys) because the denver interior D is just too tall to make layups for terry or barea. They gave us the open jumper a LOT if there was any ball movement at all but we went to a lot of ISO's with very little player movement.

all our centers were completely ineffective today - the stats say everything:
combined 50 minutes from bass, hollins and damp -
11 points on 4-12 shooting, 14 rebounds, 2 Assists, 13 FOULS and they got blocked on 5 of those 12 attempts.
Terry + Kidd with a combined 12 Turnovers - that is more than the whole team should have during the game.
Game plan for game 2: Take better care of the ball on offense and start wright instead of barea (barea can play against carter and terry against smith).
If this game was officiated fairly the nuggets would have probably had about 8 less FT attempts and Dallas 10 more and I'm pretty sure we'd have won this game.

Murphy3 · 05-03-2009, 06:44 PM

The game was lost when the Mavs turned the ball over something like 7 times in 14 possessions.

The Mavs cannot run with the Nuggets. That's the end of the story. The Mavs cannot defend the Nuggets when they're constantly on the break or getting shots via the secondary break. The Mavs don't have the athleticism to do so.

LSMF · 05-03-2009, 06:44 PM

Here are my thoughts: ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE REFFING!!!. Dirk and Co were getting pounded with no calls all game long. Any time the Nuggets Drove they either got the layup, got the call or got both. It was infuriating from my standpoint, the Nuggets overall are better than us, they were at home and they got all the calls as well. How exactly were we supposed to win?

Any way though we need to play better, it was layup city out there. But I don't know if the D was bad or if guys were just moving out of the way because they were scared of fouling. Barea and Bass are going to be very limited in this series in my opinion, we need to see more Wright, Hollins and singleton to have a chance. And Kidd needs to watch his turnovers. But my main concern is : How the Hell are the Nuggets allowed to get away with sooo much contact?!

Lor20 · 05-03-2009, 06:55 PM

damp only got 22 minutes - thats why it was layup city. Damp basically IS our interior D - the rest of the team can help but the focal point is damp - and he got into foul trouble and had a bit of a bumped hip.

Murphy3 · 05-03-2009, 06:57 PM

Damp would have been 30 feet away for many of the layups... Too many TO's that turned into fast break points.

He was letting Nene go off as well very early in the game. Bass was no answer for Nene as well.

Usually Lurkin · 05-03-2009, 07:14 PM

The factors as I see it are:

Refs: They called touch fouls to start the 1st and 3rd. It set a tone that benefited the Mavs for a bit. Then they swallowed their whistles for the 2nd and 4th and it benefited the Nuggets. They shouldn't do that in Dallas, and we should be able to take a game under those conditions.

Kidd: He looked like he was shaving points the way he tossed so many lazy passes halfway across the court.

JHo: Was what we need him to be till he hurt his ankle. Disappeared for 2nd half. Scared or hurt, I don't care. We need him to produce.

Bench: Ours didn't show up like they did against SA (maybe because Denver is much better than SA). Denver's bench did what they were supposed to and more.

If Kidd screws his head back on, and JHo plays another series of games like he just did against SA (hello, 2nd half Josh!), then we'll win the series. We'll only need a bit from our bench. Kidd and Josh on top of their games will make up for the rest of the bench deficit.

horse900703 · 05-03-2009, 07:41 PM

I think our bench was a big reason.

particleman · 05-03-2009, 07:55 PM

Yeah, the refs sucked and turnovers killed us.

I think we can take some good things from this game though... I mean, if the fast break point differential isn't almost -30 then this game still goes down to the wire, despite the free throw differential. And I'd be willing to bet that Kidd won't turn the ball over like that again in this series.

I don't know, it was an extremely frustrating game to watch, but I still think we can beat 'em. [Edited to add:] Assuming Howard is healthy.

tbone27 · 05-03-2009, 07:58 PM

Yeah these refs today really blew the game for us. I mean that was ridiculous. Especially when they called Dirk for throwing the elbow in the 4th period. That was the stupidest call and just killed our chance to stop the Nugs momentum. I mean Dirk was throwing elbows all game and was not called for one of them until the 4th quarter! These Refs suck.

And no way are the Nugs this good. I mean they only beat the woeful Hornets by like an average of 25 points or something. Yeah these Nugs are a total fluke no way they are this good. That 58 point road playoff win against NO was like a total fluke.

I know if the refs would have just called this one better we could have overcome the Nugs defense. I mean there is no way they are good enough to cause us to make the 20 something turnovers we had. They just cannot be good enough. There is no way in hell that their defense is anywhere near tough enough to cause us to turn the ball over like that. I guess Kidd and the rest of the back court just got lazy cause there is no way Denver is that good.

Yeah if the Refs start calling it better and the back court stays focused I am sure we will win the next 4 games of this series. Cause there is just no way the Nugs are this good. I mean we are the stinking 6th seeded Dallas Mavericks. We are way better then those Nugs or better Thuggets. I mean can you you feel it or what?

peace

Pretty obvious you are a nuggets fan, not a bad troll attempt though, i will give you a c+.

tonyriceroni · 05-03-2009, 08:40 PM

We just had way to many turnovers. Horrible passing.

Lor20 · 05-03-2009, 08:42 PM

i will give him neg rep and answer this - if the nuggets are oh so good - why were the mavs right there for over three quarters despite being way behind in points in the paint and in fast break points- at Home.
We all know the mavs are sluggish on the road - but ew just need 1 on the road. The nuggets won't sniff at a win in Dallas.
and the hornets rolled over for you guys and have the smallest frontcourt of the entire playoff teams - out of all the teams the hornets were the easiest matchup for denver (much like the spurs were the easiest for Dallas) and on top of that a lot of their players were hobbeling more than running.

So you argument is the Nuggets aren't very good and as proof of that...the Mavericks were in the ballgame until the 4th quarter?

Um....what exactly does that say about the Mavericks then?

I'd say that the Nuggets, Rockets and Mavericks are a distant 2,3,4 best teams in the conference in no paticular order....all of them are pretty good teams. I don't think...though I hope....that one of them beats the Lakers...as I hate them so.

The Nuggets were fired up today...they were the more aggressive team...and I tend to think that the team that controls the pace, tends to get the calls (as opposed to a team that is back on their heals).

I think the Nuggets are content to let Dirk get his points and leave him covered by either Martin or Anderson. The Mavs are going to need to get another guy or two going in order to win this series.

I don't think either team will win every game on their home court....of the two...it would appear the Nuggets are a better road team...as they had more quality wins on the road (in Houston, San Antonio, Boston, Miami, Orlando, Dallas, etc).

I expect Tuesday night will be a tough game for the Nuggets to win. One thing we can agree on...is that Dallas wont roll over like the Hornets did.

CadBane · 05-03-2009, 09:08 PM

The Nuggets are a great team. That doesn't change the fact that the officiating was deplorable. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

So what's your gripe? That he consistently scored on plus 50% shooting despite getting no calls? I'm just confused as to where you think he failed? Because he had one lay-up blocked?

Well, if anything, its disappointing that he starts off strong and finished weak. But obviously, non-calls effected that.

Oh, and the lay-up hit the glass before Nene hit it, no doubt. Its possible Anderson touched it before it left Dirk's hand, but in the Coors Light Freeze Cam, it didn't look like it. Nene's block was CLEARLY as it hit the glass, though, and he just pinned it before it could finish moving into the hoop.

I would especially agree with one statement you made in there: Dirk was the only guy to show up.

1-13 last 14 playoff games Dan Crawford has officiated. 24 PF per game, 22.3 FTA per game for Mavs. 21.5 PF per game, 29.9 FTA per game for opponents.

Pullin out da ref card!

BGMaverick9 · 05-03-2009, 11:03 PM

Carlisle:
“It’s hard for me to believe that Dirk only shot four free throws, the way he was playing the game,’’ the coach said. “He’s being played very physically. … This is not meant to be a bitch session about the officials. But a minus-23 (in free throws) and a plus-10 (on foul calls) and … you’re gonna get taken out of a lot of opportunities to score and to make stops.’’

I like how Rick always stands up and protects the players, this is obviously correct, I know lots will say Mavs lose the game no matter what just look at the second half, but I truly believe if the game is reffed fairly Mavs are up around 10-12 points at the break, and the reason they stopped driving in the second half was the refs. Needless to say Nuggets actually weren't that impressive, there was only 1 guy I was very impressed with on Denver and that was Nene, Carmello got a ton of bailout calls.

I like the Mavs chances in game 2 if Crawford doesn't ref the game. Jet will finally show up.

Mavs have GOT to figure out a way to defend the paint better. That will kill us and wear us down faster than anything. We were hitting some jumpers tonight, but that wont keep up for 7 games and when that falls, we won't have anything else if we play like this.

This is very true, if the refs are going to let a lot of Denver fouls go uncalled, Dallas has to either keep driving to the hoop until the refs can't take the sheer number of missed Denver foul calls anymore, or else they have to get a lot more physical on defense, which will also eventually motivate the refs to take greater control over the game.

Or the Mavs should do both. Doing both would be the best.

I don't really remember cases where refs do a 180 from total blindness to calling it right for a team IN GAME. There were instances where the Mavs weren't even all that aggressive and they were still getting called for chippy fouls.

At what price do you try to force the issue with physical defense on Denver? How do you throw that to your players and still hope the refs don't go overboard? You can try but it's still out of your hands, it's still on the refs. In the Miami/Atlanta game today there was a pretty hard foul late in that game and the game was well out of reach. It wasn't a flagrant 2, it was a good hard foul...BUT to set the tone, the refs CALLED it a flagrant 2 and Haslem was tossed. A flagrant 2 would cause us an ejection and maybe even a suspension...how would you feel about that?

What are guys told usually or what do you hear:
If you aggressive you'll get rewarded or bailed out with the call. It's not supposed to be a cat and mouse game with the ref, It's not: "well, we are gonna test you, do it x amount times and THEN we'll give it to you."

What you see all the time is a performance like this and coaches and/or players will talk about it in the media and you can usually see a change in the foul dynamics in the next game. If you put the onus on the refs in the game and it didn't work...it seems the next natural step is to do it even more after the game with calling them out. It'll hurt the wallet that way but it doesn't potentially run you the risk of getting ejected.

tomly · 05-04-2009, 01:26 AM

I dont watch any more but it sure sounds like Howard Stern could manage the referring better than his morally challenged clone!

BGMaverick9 · 05-04-2009, 01:27 AM

Kidd and Turnovers:
This is definitely going to be an issue that needs a hard look to figure out what to do.

Kidd's highest average of turnovers this year vs an opponent is: Denver
Then you add today...there is a cause for concern. It's a scrappy, athletic, and aggressive defensive unit. Some of his usual stuff might not be able to work. Cross-court passes are going to be tough, and he's gotta be sure the receiver of the pass is ready. Denver is going to jump on passes like a Cornerback would do in football.

Everyone just needs to concentrate more on protecting the ball and maybe going a little safer or conventional.

But what I really don't understand is why all the posters here acknowledge the trolling. I mean, really, you think you're going to accomplish something by engaging in an argument with someone who has nothing better to do with his life than try to bait you into a pointless argument? How is it that you think you're helping the situation. I've been to a lot of internet forums, and I honestly can't remember one time that I saw a troll say "wow, thank you for showing me the error of my ways" or "hey! i didn't realize you were going to be mean and call me a homo, I'm never posting here again!"...

Well this may be a reach, but my latest theory is that Denver is a football town, but since the Broncos suck, the Colorado Sports Fathers (whoever they are, remember, this is just my wild theory to try to explain how the Nuggets are getting away with this) decided to remake the Nuggets in the football mode.

So at a secret meeting, they decided: "If the real football team sucks, then by God, we'll make the Nuggets a lot more like a football team!" "Nice thinking, Earl!"

Laugh out loud. But there is always some truth in humor, I warn you.

My brother told me years ago that he could not be a basketball fan because he thought the referees took sides, if not on purpose then by accident. I stubbornly didn't agree with him then, but his opinion is worth another look these days.

This Nuggets thing has become like one of those really bad and stupid movies that hardly anyone ever watches.

Tonights feature: Can a thuggish but well meaning basketball team keep routing teams with a simplistic, but very disruptive style of playing the game? A style which is way out on the far outer fringes of the rules?

I hate bad movies.

Captain Jack Sparrow · 05-04-2009, 02:19 AM

Denver will win this series in 5 if not 4! We started out slow today but we will get better in game 2! We are 8-1 against you guys in the last two years!

GO NUGGETS!

Make the right adjustments for Game 2, tweak the rotation a little, let some other referees officiate the game and stop turning the ball over so much and I think we have a good chance to take the next game.

Hopefully Josh will be healty and good to go, we need him in so many areas. He will also be a factor in transition, as good as our offense can be, you need fastbreak points.

We will be lucky to win a game!!! Our bench is TOO good! I hope we sweep you guys! MAVS SUCK!!!!

I know if the refs would have just called this one better we could have overcome the Nugs defense. I mean there is no way they are good enough to cause us to make the 20 something turnovers we had. They just cannot be good enough. There is no way in hell that their defense is anywhere near tough enough to cause us to turn the ball over like that. I guess Kidd and the rest of the back court just got lazy cause there is no way Denver is that good.

Yeah if the Refs start calling it better and the back court stays focused I am sure we will win the next 4 games of this series. Cause there is just no way the Nugs are this good. I mean we are the stinking 6th seeded Dallas Mavericks. We are way better then those Nugs or better Thuggets. I mean can you you feel it or what?

peace

WTF??? you lost by 14 pts?
