good points

[MikeB]

Absolutely disgusting!

We played like Crap and the Refs aided the home team. Wjy do officials allow that thug ball. I saw 7 missed calls in the 4th alone...but only on one end. Sorry fing pieces.

[Chicago JK]

yeah. let Walker shoot a three at the end. Ugh.

[EricaLubarsky]

a couple of nice plays by Nash, Howard and Finley at least.

[Murphy3]

I'm sorry, but I don't want to see Walker taking 3's late in the game ever.

[bernardos70]

lol, and this is the guy you go to to hit a three for you? Great stuff

[Mandyahl]

why why why is it walker who shot the three??

[Chiwas]

The headline: Walker has made more three's than Nash, Dirk and Jamison.

[MavsFanFinley]

No need to foul, not enough time left to hit a bunch of 3's.

[Mandyahl]

haha, we all said it at once... i guess no one wants walker taking the three...

Finley tackled Crawford and hurt him.

[bernardos70]

OMG, finley misses a crucial free throw, shame on you finley!

MightyToine wanna.

[MightyToine]

Bad turnover by Walker(stepped out of bounds) but the game is over anyway. Doesn't make a difference at this point except make Walker's stats look even more FUGLY. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]




WE BETTER BLOW THE FUKING KNICKS OUT OF THE BUILDING...THAT'S ALL *I'VE* GOT TO SAY.





(WHY DO YOU GIVE THE BALL TO WALKER FOR A 3??? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] ]


AARRRRGH!! FINLEY!!! YOU MISSED A 4-POINT PLAY??????????



JUST END THIS INSANITY!!!

[EricaLubarsky]

I like how we are keeping it up in the last few minutes. Not too bad.

[MavsFanFinley]

Would have been nice if Finley could have made the ft. But, this was over before that.

[Mandyahl]

why are we still taking timeouts?? we're down by eight with less than 10 seconds left.

[Chicago JK]

Wow. Nash has really lost it since he turned 30.

Bad loss for the Mavs. Games like this are ones you look back at the end of the year and say....damn if only....

[Chiwas]

Why do we take a TO? This is over, 8 points and 9 secs. [img]i/expressions/rolleye.gif[/img]

[MavsFanFinley]

5 turnovers for both Nash and Walker. Dirk with 3.

[DNNF]

Nash has a horrible game tonight. Turnovers at very critical situations. Must be a year older....

[Kenny_01]

We are also missing the efficient scoring from Jamison. Get him more involved next game.

[Chicago JK]

The Hawks are in a playoff race. On the ATL station they showed the standings. They are 17-35 but only 6 games out of the 8th playoff spot. Disgusting.

[Chiwas]

FIRE NELSON!

NO I DON'T! I'm not THAT attached to Walker's rear-end, you know.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

[bernardos70]

This was over at the beginning of the 4th when they went on an 8-0 run. Yes, Hawks, on an 8-0 run.

[MikeB]

make that 18-35

[mercury_rev]

May this troglodyte of a game slither back to its hideous depths, never to show itself again.

[Murphy3]

The Mavs lose by 6 with three guys posting double-doubles..
I guess it's difficult for a team to win whenever they shoot that poorly.

[Chiwas]

Another career high for a player of a weak team against the Mavs. Jackson had 30 points.

Yeah, it's downhill fast after 30. Just ask KG and Doc.

Mavs offset the good, gutty efforts of three weeks ago against the NYKs and the Sixers. It's games like this one and the Denver game that make people question their vital organs (hearts, guts, 'nads, etc. ).

The changes will have to come from the top.

Hell yeah !! FIRE NELLIE !!!

[MikeB]

Lets see...career game for..?
Diaw & Jackson
Very nice

Dirk and Steve combine to go 0 for 9 from 3 and as a team we go 5 of 26...nice

[Bayliss]

And this is the perfect example of how stats are misleading:

Yahoo has Steve Nash as tonight's "top performer." Nash absolutely was horrendous tonight. He couldn't dribble worth a damn. He couldn't create any space. He constantly was out of control.

[EricaLubarsky]

Finley tackled Crawford and hurt him.

looks like we will be without Fin-dawg at MSG

[bernardos70]

All that is left now is to root for the rockets (ugh). If San Antonio wins this one, we'll really fall behind.

[sturm und drang]

The sad thing is that I've come to expect a game like tonight's from this year's crew. I mean, didn't we all kind of think it would end this way?

We've got real aptitude for following great games with... heartless, effortless slop.

And I'm just saying it again for good measure:

I have no idea why Antoine Walker thinks he can shoot threes. He can't, and never should. His bricked three towards the end - the one he took when we were actually making a run and were down by three or four (I think) - sucked the life right out of us.

Bleh.

What's happened to our rebounding, by the way?

Hey Murph, You see?

Walker is NOT tonight's "top performer". [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

[EricaLubarsky]

of course it was Nellie's fault [img]i/expressions/rolleye.gif[/img]

When will the opportunists stop? No one is proposing that the Wolves need a new coach after dropping a meaningless game to Memphis...

why do those with a chip on their shoulder just pop up after we lose. Its idiotic.
