GDT: Mavs vs Blazers

[AO41]

FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON

Dirk might be OUT
DWill might be OUT
Harris is OUT

Young guys will get to play and bring the energy to get the W.

JJ
Matthews
Anderson
Barnes
Mejri/ Bogut


MAVS 98
BLAZERS 93

[CGM]

Mavs get win # 1 against the Tail Blaze if:
Dirk plays
DWill plays
Anyone can hit Lil'Lard's with a baseball bat covered in barbed wire 20 minutes before the game begins...

...my faith is fading, but I still believe, because of Dirk's wise words, "It's frickin' four games in," Dirk Nowitzki said after Wednesday's 97-81 setback at Utah." Then,

Mavs - 105
Tail Blaze - 103

[EricaLubarsky]

Everything says that we'll be 0-5,

but something in me says that we'll go off. Curry and Anderson combine for 30. Barnes is solid on 18-9

[AO41]

I am concerned with Lillard but Matthew might be able to help out there a little.

A bigger concern is that Aminu will go of for like 40 pts and 10 3s

@ESPN

Deron Williams: "I feel great. I wish Coach would talk to me before he says these things." Rick Carlisle said Thursday that Williams was "questionable at best" due to right groin/adductor soreness. He had offseason surgery to repair a sports hernia on the other side.

Deron Williams: "Guys, I'm playing. I was always playing." He's listed as questionable due to right groin/adductor soreness.

Interesting stance from D-Will. In Brooklyn he seemed to sit as much as he could. He seems to be more focused this season but we will see how long it and/or his health lasts.

Hopefully Mavs will show some defense for a change. At the moment one can only ponder what shrooms was Carlisle taking when he said defense has improved over last season.

In terms of Bogut and his future, I find it hard to believe he gets 15 or more a year in his next season. Nobody wants to pay a center who plays ~20 minutes a game and especially during this fast pace small lineup era.

Rick might just be trying to light a fire under Derons ass or just going by what casey smith says.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking too, though it would be easier if he'd just come out and call hm a fatso, like he did with Parsons.

[DirkFTW]

Fifth time's a charm.

I don't think his conditioning is the problem though...just the effort. The lazy passing has to stop.

Honestly, Deron seems happy, and I don't mean this in a good way. He is... content. He likes to eat, he likes to make shots, but he is just not a very motivated NBA player at this point in his career. I mean, he had to be very driven at some point, otherwise he would have never made it to the league, but that fire is gone, that's for sure, otherwise he would be in shape. I do find thim incredibly fat for a point guard, but maybe that's just me. He is in good shape compared to an average Joe, but for an NBA point guard? Guy has no definition, whatsoever.

Bogut out for "personal reasons"

Dang, I still got hopes for him to mesh with Dirk.

[yahyes]

Mavs gotta get their first win dammit.

[EricaLubarsky]

Dirk starts st C. Yay?

[EricaLubarsky]

Ew

[EricaLubarsky]

There may literally not be a worse team on both sides of the floor

[EricaLubarsky]

I'll be happy if we're down less than 15 at the galf

[EricaLubarsky]

Good lord why is dirk even out there

[EricaLubarsky]

Ha! He can still dunk

[EricaLubarsky]

Well the Dirk dunk was worth the price of admission

[Bryan_Wilson]

We have a lead

[EricaLubarsky]

I hate to say but this team just isn't good when Dirk plays

[EricaLubarsky]

Dirk comes in, we give up an easy one

[EricaLubarsky]

Ha

[EricaLubarsky]

Most Mavs end to a quarter rver

[yahyes]

Team has to get motivated. Mavs need their fans out there. Cuban better be having tickets half off.

[Bryan_Wilson]

I just assume every single buzzer shot against Mavs is going in.

[EricaLubarsky]

26 is our best 1st quarter of the season and we're tied

[EricaLubarsky]

Get dirk out

[AO41]

smh...terrible by Dirk and Barea

The young guys fight to take the lead and it disappears like that.

[EricaLubarsky]

At 9 min in the second we've now lead for more of this game than we've lead an opponent in the first 4 games combined

[BPo001]

I'd like to see D Will post PG's up more with his size advantage.

[EricaLubarsky]

-5

[EricaLubarsky]

Fewer Plumlee dunks please

Also don't let them shoot 10/10

[EricaLubarsky]

We cannot defend for %#%+

[EricaLubarsky]

+7 to -7

Allowing them to shoot 10/10 last few min

[AO41]

The problem is that we kill out momentum every time and then expect to be able to regain it. If the guys are hot, let them play.

[EricaLubarsky]

-9

Problem is our starters suck. The bench is hungry.

[EricaLubarsky]

Dirk isn't an NBA player anymore
