Because we are all fans and it's all a popularity contest up until the end of the playoffs.

Don't you look at sitemeter?

It helps when you have big hairy cajones. It can deflect a lot of opponents' shots.

I'm VERY interested to see what throwing Roddy into the mix does to this team's mojo...

It comes and goes. We were on the lucky side when Chandler and Kidd made four of four down the stretch. And we gave it back when Barea missed his. No big deal. That wasn't what settled the game.

Barea was really, really good down the stretch there. Too bad about the free throws, but still.

They should never have swung the ball to him in the first place. As soon as he was fouled I didn't like him going to the line because clutch FTs aren't his thing.

But that was really the only obvious negative for him down the stretch so there's no need for people to harp on it.

Nope, I don't.

The only time I actually pay attention to the Hollinger stuff is when it's mentioned on here and when I see it...I usually divert somewhere else on the board.

Laugh your ass off at those who would demean the Hollinger rankings, when in the first half everybody here was chalking this up as a loss. Soooo uninformed.

NoTnERb · 12-05-2010, 01:29 AM

wasn't able to watch the game but a W is a W. can somebody also explain to me why dirk only had a few shots at the second half despite scoring 19 in the first and just missing two shots (if im not mistaken)? just watched the play by play at work so im sorry

couldn't miss the mavs 9th W especially after seeing how close the game was.

He got some rest and Butler was rolling in the third. Then in the fourth, they saw something with Jet being able to get to the baseline and get shots.

Underdog · 12-05-2010, 01:34 AM

Solid-C performance tonight.

Got 'er done, but just barely...

mac222b · 12-05-2010, 02:05 AM

Carlisle waited a long time to bring Chandler back in the 4th, though Haywood had some nice catch and dunks

9 points on 4-5 shooting and 3 blocks isn't a bad night...

thanks for the reply BGMaverick9, was just wondering. cause Dirk could have easily gone 40 tonight

but Dirk's not a stat wh*** like LeBron. that's what makes him special, feed the hot hand and don't be selfish

We haven't lost a single game this season when we score over 100 points (9 out of 16 wins so far...)

This is also just the 4th time we've allowed an opposing team to score over 100, but we've won 3/4 of those match-ups.

interesting facts, thanks for sharing

Just hope this team keeps realizing the impact of defense. Their fourth quarter d has been outstanding!

This x100000000000.

Everyone seems to care about Hollinger and his rankings.

I honestly could give a sh!t about his rankings.

They don't prove anything.

The defense the Mavs have shown so far this year gets me so giddy.

If we play defense in the playoffs the way we have up to date, I'll be ecstatic.

CapitanObvious · 12-05-2010, 07:00 AM

The mavs tried so hard to lose this game and yet failed. The team sucks at losing i tell ya.

deamon · 12-05-2010, 07:21 AM

Still a lot of work to do.
Kidd had one good season (2009-2010) in shooting from behind 3pt line, and now he back to old times. He need to work again with the same guy as year ago.
Mavs players (Haywood, Marion, Butler) have to finish with dunk so easy situations near rim.
Haywood 7' tall man and he try lay-up?
Marion a guy with one of the best vertical jump in NBA and can't finish it with dunk?
Butler, he isn't Tuff Juice, he's nickname is ,,one step closer". After pass from teammate he makes one step and try jumpshot, so predictable. We want drives to the rim, and he doesn't dunk too, it's so easy to make block on him. Best choice is to trade him for Iggy.
Barea, ehhh why Carlisle is in love with him? Hate this strategy with 3 PG.

Dirk and Chandler, sometimes Terry keeps this team alive.
It was good D in the 4qtr with fluky finish.

Jason Kidd say go away:

deamon · 12-05-2010, 07:58 AM

You don't need to show me it, he's the reason I'm Mavs fan now.
And look at sefant77 earlier post or go away.
,,Kidd is now 35.7% on 3s

He has to work on it..."

deamon · 12-05-2010, 08:20 AM

2009-2010 was very good, now ok?
It was his best in 3's:
2.2 5.2 with 42.5%
In 2007-2008 he had 46.1%, but only 1.2 2.6
Isn't it paradox you say me go away if I talk about Kidd 3's in compare to your earlier 2 posts? You have nothing better to do?

Lor20 · 12-05-2010, 08:33 AM

well... that was an ugly win but realistically if you move both teams to their normal 3 pt shooting stats we win this game by 26....

8th game in 11 days and it shows..... really important 2 days rest now and then 6 home games in 11 days. Just gt take 1 game at a time.

Isn´t it important he hits them come playoff time because RS means nothing?

Mavs won a game they had no buisness in to win...

Exactly, that's why he needs to work on it again, and he has 4 moths till PO to do it.

You say the regular season doesn't matter, but all you've done is bitch about stats from a 20-game regular season sample...

Why are you so negative amidst a 9-game winning streak? Do you have nothing better to do than troll a sports forum of a team you claim to be a fan of?

I'd like to buy a vowel...

Haywood is miles better than Damp could ever have been...yet when Chandler is in, Haywood looks like a complete scrub. Not to bash on Haywood, just Chandler is in a different category altogether
