Lets also remember the situation tonight, with Howard, Marion, and Damp out...Carlisle had to dig deep. And say what you will about the tiny 3 guard line (I can't stand it on principle), it had brought some big buckets this season thus far.

This is correct..the problem is that he's getting overexposed at times because of injuries. He's playing more minutes that I'm sure Carlisle would prefer..

Mark Jackson couldn't stop talking about it.

They didn't say anything because they where to busy talking about Lebron and how would he do if he played in the NFL, I changed the channel after that because I couldn't take the Lebron love from ESPN anymore.

huh?

From the beginning of the 4th to the end of OT, all Mark Jackson talked about was how unstoppable Dirk was and how Rick shouldn't go away from him at all.

I think he's talking about Sports Center.

My bad I thought that person was talking about what they said about Dirk on Sportscenter.

The first time I've agreed on a 100% with Mark Jackson's words... man usually I'm miffed because the Mavs never really get the national love when they play teams on ESPN, ABC, or TNT. But Mark Jackson was kissing Dirk's ass all night, especially in the 4th/OT practically begging Rick Carlisle to let Dirk take over.. which he did

ghazi · 11-19-2009, 01:06 AM

Very pleased with how the Mavs have played thus far... 9-3, basically 10-2... Dirk has been brilliant.

And yet you feel this team has a lot of room for improvement. I still see lots of inconsistency and of course injuries have been a concern with starters missing 13 combined games already.

Thomas86 · 11-19-2009, 01:06 AM

I don't know what's going on with Dirk because I never seen him show this much emotion and love for the game, Gooden get's alot of props from me for not backing down in the paint, I was on the edge of my seat the entire game but I'm happy the good guys won.

fluid.forty.one · 11-19-2009, 01:06 AM

AND Dirk completely shut down Duncan the two times he guarded him 1 on 1 in OT.

ahh such a good win

Murphy3 · 11-19-2009, 01:09 AM

Dirk can guard Duncan a bit.. Duncan could never guard Dirk at any point in his career.. well, maybe Dirk's rookie year. Also, Dirk was always better at guarding KG than KG was at guarding Dirk. I suppose that's an unfair comparison considering how much better of an offensive player Dirk is than KG has ever been at any point in his career.

I have always noted this. He can give them fits on both ends. I find it interesting since he is such a "bad" defensive player...etc, etc, etc.

Dirk is playing MVP style ball right now.

Totally agree with you... and people seem to forget how Dirk abused Garnett in the 02 playoffs when Dirk constantly frustrated KG with his quick shots and moves tot he basket.

DevinHarriswillstart · 11-19-2009, 01:23 AM

The Mavs are so insanely deep that no team looks unbeatable anymore. If you can beat the Spurs without Marion, Howard, and Damp then you can beat anyone. Oh and killing the Lakers at Staples is still win of the season.

Of course Ginflopli gets injured again....just in the nick of time not to get embarrassed.

There is absolutely nothing sports related like watching a Mavs game in person. The crowd is really into this season. I just love the new jumbotron.

I was there too

My voice is gonna be gone tomorrow. I yelled pretty much from 3 minutes of the 4th quarter on.

Dirk is a beast. That tip in was unfreaking real. When Jet missed that shot I was pissed but then out of the corner of my eye I see Dirk fly in for the tip.
What a hero

I find that I don't yell much at all...I do clap, but I mostly just intensely watch the game...I'm probably not much fun to sit next to.

sike · 11-19-2009, 01:30 AM

would have liked to See Kidd run the show a little more than JJ in the fourth...anyone know why JJ is allowed to dribble and dribble when we've got arguably one of the 5 greatest pgs of all time in the corner? *this is not a JJ hate post...just a JKidd love post*

monty55555 · 11-19-2009, 01:32 AM

Dirk was amazing! He was just unstoppable...

By the way, Dirk is a "trending" topic on Twitter. Everyone is talking about him.

Twitter has "trends" which basically tells the members which topic/person/event is being discussed the most by the members. Right now, he is on the list because everyone is talking about how great Dirk was and his 41 points.

You didn't extol JJB. Negative rep. And your license to watch basketball has been revoked.

Honestly, many of Kidd's assists are just throw the ball to Dirk. Sometimes, you need a PG that can break down the defense a little bit with the intent to score. That is not Kidd. But yeah, JJ can get carried away and sometimes make poor decisions. But, Kidd can be rendered rather useless offensively at times.. It really doesn't take much for a PG to just dump the ball to Dirk and rack up the assist totals. With that being said, it's nice having a PG that is smart enough to get the ball to dirk on a regular basis.

bingo.

I do wish Kidd could run a more effective PandR with Dirk...but just isn't enough of threat to score if he had to take a dribble.

I think they do it mostly to conserve his energy. Kidd was chasing RJ around screens and defending him in the post for much of his 45 minutes on the floor. JJB brought the ball up the floor and then they ran their half-court sets as usual.

I mean specifically in the 4th and at the key moments.

Because he cannot do much with it offensively. The defense knows he won't drive and kick, he can't make a layup or a tear-drop. JJB is a much,much better offensive point than jkiddo.

thank you ESPN360! i can watch the replay of this game! WOOOOO

Me to spur fans (there were plenty of them at the AAC) after Dirk hit the three:

did you make sure that "this house is clear" before stopping? Spurs fans who dare to live in Dallas and then have the insanity to come into our house need a good "exercising".

CadBane · 11-19-2009, 01:59 AM

I want the Hubie-JVG combo, it's like the ultimate odd couple. You can play a drinking game with how many times Hubie says "Now come on now...". But you'd died of alcohol poisoning after the first quarter.

sike · 11-19-2009, 02:08 AM

you boys play nice...I'm too sleepy to watch the train wreck that is sure to insue.
