Hell yeah, good work Hendu!

luckily the Mavs got the ball back on that out of bounds call....thought for sure it would be going to the lakers.

[PepperTheMavsFan41]

I like this lineup of

Quesy
Josh
KVH
Dirk
Hendu


Very tall, and playing much better D.

[FilthyFinMavs]

It's about time the Mavs decided to start playing D. I'm glad they didn't wait until the 2nd half to do so. Their bringing the Lakers back to reality.

i know marquis is a great scorer, but i just get the sense that he disrupts the flow of the mavs' offense. he rarely ever makes the right pass if he passes at all.

I think he might be the best option at the point for the moment. Terry rarely handles the ball, then when he goes in, he has a hard time finding others. And Harris seems to be looking to score more lately.

[Bayliss]

Daniels doesn't ever get anyone involved. Does he ever pass it to anyone besides Howard?

[Murphy3]

Why does Daniels shoot the three? He should be fined every time he shoots one.

[Murphy3]

KVH, get your sorry ass on the floor for the rebound. Your play cost the team a bucket. If you'll put a little effort in to secure the damn rebound, the Mavs don't give up the prayer to Walton. But no, you'd rather not do that.

[ocelot_ark]

give me a freaking break. luke walton.

Please call a timeout.

[chumdawg]

This is what happens when your offense goes inept. Ugh.

[ocelot_ark]

getting out worked right now...and the offense has absolutely no identity.

[PepperTheMavsFan41]

You wont find a bigger Quesey fan than me, but untill he mixes in a couple makes he needs to pass or sit on the bench.


WERENT we told KVH could shoot???????? Someday.

[Bayliss]

Dirk needs to start shooting.

I can remember earlier in the season when the Mavs offense would go stagnant they'd put Dirk in the post and feed it to him a few times in a row. I suppose that has gone out the window. I haven't seen that happen much at all in the past several games.

[ocelot_ark]

i like Quis much more as a SG than a PG.

[Murphy3]

Anyone want to mix in a rebound?

[Bayliss]

I hate merry go round shot selection.

Josh Howard: 2-6
Daniels: 2-7

They should not be shooting that much.

[Murphy3]

I can't stand Don Nelson as a coach. He has no control over what goes on ON the court. Here's the ball and go do whatever the f' you f'ing want to do.

[ocelot_ark]

Good move by KVh getting to the free throw line. I don't like the play, though. Out of a timeout the best we can do is run an isolation play? And Don Nelson is an offensive mastermind?

[chumdawg]

This will be an interesting lineup to watch: Bradley, KVH, Stack, Howard, and Terry.

[Charlie Brown]

terry is by far the best option at the point. he rarely forces shots. makes the shots he takes. and does a far better job finding open people than marquis or harris. armstrong might be a better passer, but that's only because that's all he thinks about. if you focus on doing one thing and one thing only, you should be pretty good at it. terry provides the best balance. i think terry's poor passing recently coincided with the loss of dampier. dampier provided an easy target whenever terry drove the lane. terry's a work-in-progress at point guard, but i think we should let him learn by giving him more minutes then letting marquis/armstrong take away his minutes at the point. i think it will pay great dividends in the playoffs.

[PepperTheMavsFan41]

Terry
Quesy
Stack
Josh
KVH


All I can say is Nellie.

[ocelot_ark]

It's a shame that so much god-given talent is wasted on such a god-less person as Kobe Bryant.

[Murphy3]

Wow, Daniels was abused by Luke freaking Walton.

[Bayliss]

Let's just lett everyone get a shot. Hey! That's the ticket.

[ocelot_ark]

Every loose ball finds its way to the lakers.

[Murphy3]

Daniels, secure the rebound AND THEN r;un the break.

[Murphy3]

Stack, great job stopping the penetration...way to just give them baseline.

[ocelot_ark]

KVH actually put really good pressure on that Kobe three.

[PepperTheMavsFan41]

QUESY MAKE A FRICKEN LAYUP.

[chumdawg]

I'm starting to think that Daniels has a little Antoine Walker in him.

Very true. OLE'

..and it's not because of effort by the Lakers and lack of effort by the Mavs...It's because of stupidity by the Mavs. They try and run with the ball before securing the rebound.

[Nash13]

Quis is a poor man's Wade. He's a natural 2, but can pass well for his position. He only played the point last year because of our depleted depth at that position

[ocelot_ark]

JETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! Nice shot!

[Murphy3]

I'm convinced that being within 6 feet on the outside jumper is considered good 'D' for KVH.

[Bayliss]

GET UP AND SECURE THAT SH%T DIRK!

[ocelot_ark]

Bought f'ing time they called an over the back

[PepperTheMavsFan41]

This is on ESPN how embarrising.


Grab a board. Get a loose ball. Act like you care.
