The Bucks earned that win, props to them.

Rick41 · 12-13-2010, 10:59 PM

F Dooling and Douglas-Roberts.

Lor20 · 12-13-2010, 10:59 PM

the 3 did it today.. bucks hitting lucky shots and mavs didnt and mavs not concentrated enough over stretches. oh well... shit happens... somehow the bucks games have been ugly the last few years.

haywood has to practice FT's... badly

Charles Foster Kane needs to express his opinion of the 12 game streak

Bayliss · 12-13-2010, 10:59 PM

You know what the good news is? I start the next gameday thread.

He shoots them short every time. It only takes simple adjustment to fix, but a short shot has almost no chance of going in.

I've gone from getting mad when Haywood misses to just straight laughing at him now. I can see the miss coming.

DMOC · 12-13-2010, 11:00 PM

Hack a haywood was the turning point ....

I invited him into a thread recently, so I'll have to leave this to someone else.

exactly. Its a gamble. It trades 3 pointers and paint defense for midrange/penetration defense.

The way to beat a zone is to
a) shoot and make the open 3s (Bucks did)
b) have an inside force (Bucks did)
c) penetrate faster than the zone can adjust for (Bucks did)

Thank you Haywood.
This lost is YOUR lost !!!

Um, no - the Mavs lost this as a team.

She_Growls · 12-13-2010, 11:02 PM

Well, Bucks deserved to win this one...Mavs will feel the sting of the loss and get ready to detroy Portland Wed and take out Phoenix on Fri......this wasn't our best defensive night and it happens...no worries here.

Once he missed the 1st pair, he has to come out of the game. But the game was lost way before than. Jennings was having a good time in the 2nd half on the Mavs backcourt.

Not really.

Bad players were hitting shots they usually dont hit and in the last minutes they played incredible stupid.

We shot ourself more in the foot than the "greatness" of the Bucks.

I think it can be annoying too. But it's not "braver" to call a win when you're down with some time left, too. It's just people's opinions and predictions. Sometimes you're right, sometimes you're wrong.

Everybody is still rooting for the Mavs, I would presume.

41mvp · 12-13-2010, 11:09 PM

0 for 4 on the free throws line!!!Sorry Brendan but you are real loser.After the game you should go to the gym and shots free throws all night.
Haywood this is your lost!!!
Anyway Dallas should trade him!!!

Giving up a 20-point second-quarter (like we all knew they would) is not Haywood's fault.

They got what they deserved.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Dirkadirkastan again.

MaverickGermany · 12-13-2010, 11:15 PM

Well. He was the game changing factor, but if the other teammates wouldn't have given away a 20 points lead, his fail wouldn't really matter.

Actually, it is braver. But beyond that, you're sorely mistaken if you think I'm "calling" a win, just as you are sorely mistaken if you think I'm being serious when I quote myself after "calling" a Mavs comeback.

What I'm doing is purposefully injecting positive energy into GDT's that are disgustingly full of negativity anytime sh*t is going even slightly wrong for the Mavs. And it's not even quirky, funny negativity in the vein of a Flaco. Instead, it's quitter-mentality whining that reeks of Spurs-fan like entitlement. It's embarrassing and pathetic.

Thank goodness. I am going to ban that other clown if he tries to hijack again.

xrobx · 12-14-2010, 12:10 AM

ever play a game of nba jam with the "cpu assistance" turned on? so when a team gets a big lead, the cpu steps in and cheats to keep the game close and makes the team with the lead miss everything and turn the ball over while the team that's losing hits everything they shoot? that's what watching the mavs is like, every game

Daaamn lol. I'm sad I missed the 2nd half of this one.

It happens when you lose to teams you shouldn't lose to.

NoTnERb · 12-14-2010, 01:34 AM

I wasn't able to watch the game, and I finished my finals early for the mavs cause I saw the score

depressing...

LonghornDub · 12-14-2010, 01:38 AM

I just want to be clear that my comment/diatribe wasn't directed at rabbit personally.

xrobx · 12-14-2010, 01:42 AM

i just hope this loss lights a fire under them and is a wake up call. the next two games are nationally televised games so i want the mavs to look sharp against the blazers and suns. then comes the @heat@magic and @thunder. talk about murderers row.

Longhorn, I think if you consistently call for the Mavs to lose/miss/fail, then yeah, it is a play-it-safe mentality Those who do that can take the boot.

I don't think the majority of the GDT posters are just protecting their weak little hearts though - perhaps I just scroll by those losers. I mostly see people recognizing a trend and calling it for what it is- such as seeing opposing teams come back from large deficits really quickly in prior games and assuming if that trend continues, the Mavs will get bit.

Trust me, I see nothing wrong with that whatsoever. That's the kind of intelligent analysis I hope for when I come around here.

But there are some people who can't stop themselves from going meltdown-mode anytime things are going even a little poorly. It doesn't have to be a 20-point lead blown.

Skiles is a tough coach, but he gets teams in position to win. Defense, hard work. They're probably one stud wing from competing for the division, let alone the conference. Sanders-Bogut combo is a tough one.

SMC0007 · 12-14-2010, 12:39 PM

You don't wanna lose to the Bucks, especially a 12 game streak. Regardless of how scrappy a team plays or how much a teams coach scowls.

The avalanche didn't start with Haywoods missed free throws fwiw... It started at exactly a 20pt lead and we had a stupid turnover on an inbound pass from Marion to JJB after a timeout. Boneheaded plays cause an epic loss of momentum time and time again. Seems like this team (as good as we can be), at times fails to match lesser teams intensity and aggression, luckily we have come out on top more often than not but it definitely shouldn't happen at home.
