I agree with this. He's been shooting it, passing it or driving it. Quick decisions make for good basketball teams. Carlisle will start working a little harder on his consistent defensive intensity now. Good move by mayo to come play under rc, bill ups was right.

The eyes from Dirk are hilarious and so is Carter. Crowder/Harris together are "solid".

Feel sorry for Larkin, though.

What do the Mavs fans say? They say WTH

NorwegianMavsFan · 10-31-2013, 05:30 PM

Wow, this song must be the biggest Norwegian export since oil & gas. Man it gets on your nerves. The duo (Ylvis) is actually rather funny.

They have a pretty good song about the Stonehenge (explicit)

And this elevator prank is pretty funny:

I still watch this, and it is funny every time.

DavidDaMonkey · 10-31-2013, 02:01 PM

I haven't seen Ellis is any silly Mavs videos yet. It's still early, but I wonder if he avoids those things. Or maybe I just haven't noticed. I think he's in the Monster Mash one, but that only required a normal picture of his face.

I've always wondered if some participation is "mandatory" or if the players volunteer to do it.

Though I'd share a season preview in which somebody actually predicted us to be better than last year.

That website is awesome! They really put thought into their articles and don't regurgitate what other media outlets are putting out. Impressive, most impressive.

Larkin hopes to be back in around 2 weeks: http://www.mavs.com/mavs-rookie-shan...ankle-surgery/

Excellent. I'd like to see the kid get a chance to battle Mekel for the backup PG spot before Devin gets back... Otherwise, I don't see Larkin getting much burn this season unless there's another injury.

EricaLubarsky · 11-04-2013, 05:18 PM

Ill be glad to have Larkin back, but this team already has plenty of depth. I don't think we'll see much of him unless we have a blowout or an injury.

I'll be surprised if he doesn't get a turn at the backup PG minutes. Even with Gal's head start and his quality outing against the Rockets, the bar for the backup point guard minutes really isn't all that high right now.

dude1394 · 11-04-2013, 08:02 PM

I expect he will beat out gal pretty quickly IMO. It is important for basketball players to be able to shoot.

oilfieldtrash · 11-04-2013, 08:13 PM

Yeah I rarely see guys out at the local park with as bad a shot as Mekel. I don't know what Harris has left in the tank but it's really his job unless Larkin can really impress Carlisle.

Longtime Mavs fan. One of my all time favorite players in the franchises history is Marquis Daniels. I scooped up some rare footage of his Mavs days and put together a small highlight video. The site wouldn't let me post my own thread so I put it here for you guys to see!

Always loved Zach Lowe, miss The Two Man Game... Great to see him writing about the Mavs again!

In short: Carlisle and Dirk are BAMFs, Durant to Dallas in 2016.

TNT · 02-02-2014, 02:29 PM

I was just looking for an article from google but didn't find it. Mybe you guys know where it is. It talked about a guy who bet his salary start of the season on the mavs becoming a champions in the 2010-2011 season and won big.

Underdog · 02-11-2014, 05:39 PM

Silver: Cuban is 'good' for NBA

Not sure where to put this (tried to find a specific Caron Butler thread but couldnt) so im gonna leave it here.

Always liked and respected the guy but had never heard about this before, great story. Still feel bad for his injury in the championship season and really wish he couldve stayed in Dallas for more time, but oh well.

Jason Gallagher: It’s a rare thing for me to perk up when a coach sends in the backup squad, but I’ve become enchanted by the Mavs bench and I don’t care who knows it. Over the last 12 games, Dallas has gone 10-2, as it has continued its ascent up the Western Conference mountain of hell. It goes without saying that Dirk, Carlisle, and Mississippi Missile-Ball have had a lot to do with it, but let’s not leave out the little people who are doing not-so-little things: Vince Carter, Brandan Wright, and Devin Harris. Take one of those guys out of the equation and the other two suffer. But as a unit, this group is a flowing river of Carlisle genius. The Harris-Wright pick-and-roll combo is the belle of the bench. It always seems to lead to some sort of open shot, layup, or alley between the two. In other cases, it creates all the space for Vince Carter — 17 last night — to drop bombs on the defense when they cheat on the other two. Since Dallas has gone on its 10-2 tear, the bench is fourth in the league in points, third in rebounds, first in assists, and first in plus/minus.

great find skywalker + rep
(I couldn't find my "Ron Burgendy excited pants" pic so this one will have to suffice)

DevinHarriswillstart · 02-27-2014, 03:35 PM

^Mississippi Missile-Ball. Great nickname for Monta. What a difference Carlisle can make for players who need another shot to prove themselves.

j0Shi · 02-27-2014, 07:24 PM

At the start of the season bench was atrocious, Wright and DH were missing and VC looked even older than he is. The bench has always been key for us and it's nice they found a way to step up.

dude1394 · 02-27-2014, 07:38 PM

FRISCO - Rookie point guard Shane Larkin, second-year forward Jae Crowder and second-year center Bernard James are coming to Frisco for a one-game assignment with the Texas Legends ... and DallasBasketball.com will be there with the telecast on Channel 47 and the reasoning why here:

yahyes · 02-27-2014, 11:11 PM

Wow. Sarge scored 38 points with 18 rebounds!?

James 38pts 18reb 4blk 2stl
Crowder 23pts, 18reb, 10ast

Maybe they'll come back more confident after trashing the little league.

Yeah it's the official one too. Live games are available as well I think.

Holy crap, James with a DoJo-like D-League game!

Crowder with another Triple Double (against same opponent) 22 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks. Also 7 Turnovers.
