you are really overrating the mavs, not even the spurs should expect to blowout the suns in phoenix.

1. No Amare
2. Vengeance
3. you're underrating Amare's importance to phoenix.

and you are underrating Nash's abilty to make guys around him better. suns would be in far worse state had nash gone down....

suns still have alot of weapons to beat you......they will be a handful all year for every team.

Nash, I've been "overrating" the Mavs every year since I've been a fan. Every year I pick them to win X amount of games while the rest of the basketball world is picking them to finish significantly worse. But you know what almost always happens? The Mavs either live up to, or surpass even my expectations and prove everyone else wrong. Last year, when Nash left, everyone had use finishing at the bottom of the playoffs, some had us not in the mix at all. I personally predicted 55 wins. What happened? They surpassed my prediction, despite being plagued by injuries, and had the second best regular season in franchise history. So yeah, Nash, I've gotten quite used to "overrating" the Mavs, because it usually turns out that even I underrate them.

BTW, you are aware that Amare's out until at least the all-star break, right? That might be at least one reason to think that the Mavs might win this game.

Steve13 · 11-01-2005, 07:23 PM

nothing wrong with thinking your team will win, my reply was in reponse to not being happy with not blowing the suns out..for godsake they aren't the hawks.

Bayliss · 11-01-2005, 07:38 PM

If ugly ball makes the Mavs win... I'm all for it.

dude1394 · 11-01-2005, 07:55 PM

Mavs 94-90

mavs413 · 11-01-2005, 08:11 PM

Spiral, word here in Phoenix is that Amare is actually done for the entire year.
The Suns are back to being a lottery team, at least for this season.

Big win to start the Season, 109-92

dude1394 · 11-01-2005, 08:18 PM

Amare is definitely done for the year imo. If they brought him back early they would be insane, especially after giving him a max contract, just insane.

XERXES · 11-01-2005, 08:39 PM

Mavs destroy Phx...115 to 95...put it in 3 inch headlines (U2...)

Misfit Mav · 11-01-2005, 08:50 PM

Mavs 103 - Sun 93

Can't wait!!!

mavs41fan · 11-01-2005, 08:57 PM

Mavs win 108-99. Daniels and Howard have big games.

Are you sure Nash makes players that much better? He left the Mavs, and I didn't see play drop off...actually players were just as good if not better. Nash definitely helps, but if you want to say how much better he makes players, look at the Mavs. He makes the team more efficient, but he doesn't make stars out of average players like Shaq.

nash/bell/jones/marion/thomas
johnson/childress/williams/harrington/pachulia

you're right. as its constituted right now, i like the upside of the hawks a lot more than i like anything about the suns.

nash is a great player, but hes not a miracle worker.

mavs win, but in sloppy fashion as they get used to each other.

basketball jonessss · 11-01-2005, 10:11 PM

Nelson never sent anyone to the hoop. Nash was passing to jumpshooters.

ames7 · 11-01-2005, 10:28 PM

They are just KILLING me with these late starts. Give me... 96-90 Dallas. Let's Go Mavs.

The Crippler · 11-01-2005, 10:55 PM

holy crap, our owner looks like such a tool...

DirkGoesNuclear · 11-01-2005, 10:55 PM

Cuban is wearing formal attire!!

The Crippler · 11-01-2005, 11:00 PM

that was a block...

That's because he IS a tool.

Thomas was moving on the Dirk charge. Questionable call.

BiggD · 11-01-2005, 11:05 PM

this sucks

Bayliss · 11-01-2005, 11:05 PM

Jason Terry has got to make Nash work on offense.

Drbio · 11-01-2005, 11:05 PM

Not much out of Christie yet.....no public displays of whipdom anyways.

rakesh.s · 11-01-2005, 11:06 PM

the offense looks horrible

Get Daniels in there..get christie out. Throw the ball into Dampier. The suns frontline consists of Kurt Thomas and Shawn Marion.

Aw come on...it's too early for this. We aren't even out of the first quarter yet.

Drbio · 11-01-2005, 11:08 PM

Nice pass Damp!

Damp is asserting himself well so far.

FilthyFinMavs · 11-01-2005, 11:10 PM

Shit can the Mavs get an open bucket? Everything is forced.

DeusDeOmini · 11-01-2005, 11:11 PM

um, Bell's foot was on the line.

The Crippler · 11-01-2005, 11:14 PM

yes it was.

MavsFanFinley · 11-01-2005, 11:14 PM

Cuban is an idiot.

Ugliest jacket in the world.

Drbio · 11-01-2005, 11:15 PM

Mavs are a little tentative but they are working into a comfort zone.

patience......patience......

FilthyFinMavs · 11-01-2005, 11:15 PM

Oh shit. Did Nash just get an offensive rebound on us? Harris looked good on that last possession. Sort of Tony Parkish with the pull up. Things could be worse. Raja seems to always kill us for some reason. Thus far I haven't seen much of a difference in our defense than last year. Damp and Josh are still getting fouls in the first quarter. Dirk still is getting those and 1 jumpshots he's so great at.

Drbio · 11-01-2005, 11:17 PM

Dirk is a badass.

ames7 · 11-01-2005, 11:19 PM

What happened to all the rebounding?

birdsanctuary · 11-01-2005, 11:19 PM

I cannot stand missed free throws out of swingmen and guards.

Comon JOHO!

Drbio · 11-01-2005, 11:20 PM

So Avery....where is this improved defense? The rebounding?

Ugh.

Still.....the Mavs will be fine.

what happened to over the back? these refs suck.

FilthyFinMavs · 11-01-2005, 11:22 PM

Its on the bench. I thoguht we got rid of KVH and Dirk in the game at the same time? We're still doing it? What happen to all the Diop hype? Get his ass in there.

Can't believe we are only down by 1. We've played horrible. Things can only go up from here.

The Crippler · 11-01-2005, 11:22 PM

i don't think devin has "it"
