I can´t believe what i´m seeing . I thought the Paralympics were over....

* GD says sorry *

Thespiralgoeson · 03-22-2010, 08:09 PM

So when was the last time the Mavs built a lead and didn't blow it? Seriously, I can't remember.

Sportstudi · 03-22-2010, 08:09 PM

If there's no improvement in the 3rd quarter, I'm off. Sorry, but I have no need to ruin my nights for watching such a crap.

twistaeffect2004 · 03-22-2010, 08:09 PM

Don't worry, we'll come back in the third. Take a 8-12 point lead. Which will be gone with 5 minutes or so to go in the fourth. It'll be a back and forth affair from that point on.. we'll probably win it by 2.

We've seen this script a thousand times. I'm really starting to wonder about this team. I'm not panicking.. I'm just wondering if their as good as we think.

LSMF · 03-22-2010, 08:10 PM

Dallas Mavericks: Where inconsistent basketball, defensive breakdowns, lack of effort and terrible coaching happens. I don't even think im gunna bother watching the 2nd half, I have homework to do anyway.

badfish22 · 03-22-2010, 08:10 PM

The Mavs are so soft.

Kante · 03-22-2010, 08:10 PM

Just to make sure: We are the worst Rebounding Team in the NBA?

It's always the same with West. Due to some strange reason, he's allowed to bearhug and foul Dirk constantly without getting any call. Just ridicuolus. And this is called good defense by Hornets homers.

Dirkgreatness · 03-22-2010, 08:11 PM

Why do I even bother watching? This team loves to disappoint it's fans, ugh!

Robillion · 03-22-2010, 08:11 PM

Everytime I see a game like this I think... my god, this team is just plain weird. We really are never consistently anything.

dalger · 03-22-2010, 08:11 PM

Wow, just unbelievable. Worst quarter of the year? I don't want to be all pessimistic because of one quarter, but it's almost impossible to expect anything from this team. No 2nd seed, no first round win in the playoffs, much less a ring. Our record has been great after the trade, but there's still something about this team that leaves me quite uncomfortable--especially considering that we're finally healthy now. Quarters like this shouldn't happen under the given circumstances.

You could be right. If this shit (excuse me mods) continues, I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone in summer.

CadBane · 03-22-2010, 08:12 PM

I know people like to defend him. But RC has been a shit coach all year. We aren't making it past the 2nd round with that man.

+1. Not sure why people are surprised by this. Usual mavs, early leads don't excite me.

xrobx · 03-22-2010, 08:16 PM

0-2 free throw shooting in the first half. either that's a misprint or we're still a soft team too scared to drive to the basket, just like every year

just about to post that. Incredibly sad.

Hi guys. What did I miss?

Not much. Just the usual meltdown after having a 15-point lead during the first quarter.

NoTnERb · 03-22-2010, 08:20 PM

The "let-other-players-shoot-the-first-three-quarters-and-just-let-Dirk-carry-us-on-the-4th" strategy really isn't working...I loathe it!

badfish22 · 03-22-2010, 08:20 PM

Only two free throws?

The Mavs look like world beaters in the first quarter.

Then the Mavs look like the New Jersey Nets in thw second quarter. Blew a 15 point lead or so in about 5 minutes time.. now down by 7.

Yep. Junk coaching.

bernardos70 · 03-22-2010, 08:23 PM

I'm loving that veetle feed with the portuguese commentators. The game? Not so much.

The shooting is fine. They're at about 50%. Same as NO. Strangely, they've got 2 less makes than NO, but 8 less shots. Two fewer rebounds explains only some . . . OH! 10 effing turnovers in a half???? Thank you to every lazy ass Mav on the team! Pay attention!

Usually Lurkin · 03-22-2010, 08:24 PM

40 seconds into the half and we give up 2 more turnovers.

That comes from not caring.

CadBane · 03-22-2010, 08:24 PM

Good lord these refs are a joke.

twistaeffect2004 · 03-22-2010, 08:25 PM

Jesus Christ.. 3 turnovers to come out of the half.

The Mavs should be ashamed of themselves. This is bullshit.

Now down 15. This team sucks.

Usually Lurkin · 03-22-2010, 08:26 PM

and another

EricaLubarsky · 03-22-2010, 08:26 PM

three turnovers in 2:03 and not a single FGA or FTA

edit: 5 in the last 3 minutes of play and only 1 FGA in that span.

xrobx · 03-22-2010, 08:26 PM

will a mod please just delete my account

CadBane · 03-22-2010, 08:26 PM

Fuck these refs. What a fucking joke. You CANT put both hands on a player! That's an AUTOMATIC foul. It was bad enough 5 on 5, now it's straight up 8 on 5.

LetsGoMavs · 03-22-2010, 08:27 PM

wtf? down 15...

Kante · 03-22-2010, 08:27 PM

That´s what is called a great Start.

Let the Bench enter or Stevenson just knock out Thornton/Collison/West!

Time to go small and steal a win without any assurance the main lineups can do shit in the playoffs.

GermanDunk · 03-22-2010, 08:29 PM

I have no prob with a lost game. But i have a problem with the fact that the best scorrer has just overcome a surgery.

Salvator didn´t turn over 10 balls within 2 minutes.

LetsGoMavs · 03-22-2010, 08:31 PM

David West has his two freakin hands wrapped around Dirk on every Mavs play!
