Oh my god....WALKER MADE A MID-RANGE JUMPER!!!

IT'S HISTORY IN THE MAKING!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

[PubaNWO]

I love the energy and I love the shot selection.

And I absolutely love the solid defense so far......also helps that the Kings aren't looking good with their jumpers.

[Murphy3]

Luckily, the Kings have played bad enough in this series for Mavs players and fans alike to hold out a little hope.

[DubOverdose]

The guns are workin tonight!!! This is a great sight to see!!!

[dude1394]

Nellie's coaching philosophies are enough for me to be totally out on him returning as the coach.

Boy is it frustrating however. I don't think he has to have a bang it inside big man guy (there just aren't that many out there) but he's got to stress defense as it seemed they did last year and play a center.

[Bookit]

Walker is playing like a beast!!

Give him some credit... at least he made it.

Mike missed the shot that he took from about a foot and half behind the backboard.

Aggressiveness is one thing but throwing up an unintelligent shot is another...

Yea but he had a lane on his last possession and looked tentative.

[DubOverdose]

I have a feeling Walker will be a big part of this game...he's asserted himself quickly

[dude1394]

He was talking about finley "i think".

[PubaNWO]

YES!!!!

NASSSSSSSSSH!!!

[MavsFanFinley]

It doesn't matter if Finley gives effort and is aggressive, if he can't make a shot around the basket, he's no good to us.

Nash for another 3.

Dirk very easily could have been a guy that he could post up 15 times a game if Nellie would have chosen to do so.

[Bookit]

Finley looks like he is playing in slow motion.

MFF, I loved his initial aggressiveness. However, once he grabbed the o-board, he should have passed out to reset the offense.

[PubaNWO]

GREAT PASS!!!!

Nash is the man!

[PubaNWO]

Finley no need for double pump layups!

Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about Walker's midrange shot.

[PubaNWO]

Did not like that Dirk shot ><

No problem no problem......

that Nash floater was risky too....

FINLEY! DAMN!

[Murphy3]

Fin has missed 4 shots from within 3 feet. He has Dirkitis

Daniels shouldn't take another three all season regardless of how open he is. He isn't a good outside shooter.

[PubaNWO]

OMG.....come on guys!

Walker you pass too much! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

[mavsman55]

Dunk Finley! Dunk!

[Murphy3]

damn, dirk,...be patient on offense..no reason to force up a shot

[Bookit]

Nash is the man!!

[PubaNWO]

I meant Jamison not Finely...

DAMN!

Great charge Nash....way to sacrafice the body!

[MavsFanFinley]

Finley might as well shoot 3's cause he can't make a layup. 0-4 will not cut it in an elimination game. Or better yet, leave him on the bench.

[PubaNWO]

What a bail out call!

Webber is a joke!

Call 3 seconds!

[Murphy3]

damn..2 fouls..put in najera i guess.

[dirno2000]

I continue to be amazed at how bad Dirk perimeter defensive stance it. Holger did him a disservice at that end of the floor.

[Murphy3]

horrible shot, dirk..damn, what are you thinking?

[PubaNWO]

Good D Walk....

Bad D Walk....lucky Peja missed that 3!

[dude1394]

Unbelievable, a lay-up that rollled IN not OUT.

[PubaNWO]

Dirk jipped on a 3 point play....

LOL@ WEBBER!

[Murphy3]

there's no reason to risk dirk getting his third foul..take him out and sit him for the first 4 minutes or so of the 2nd... he can't afford to be aggressive on defense right now. the mavs need to keep their foot on the kings throat on that end of the court..

[PubaNWO]

NELLIE!!!!

WHY did you CALL TIMEOUT!!

You NEVER CALL time....wftn? (why the f now?)

[dirno2000]

Nellie decided early that he can't wait for Fin to get hot...that's encouraging.

Steve Nash, where have you been.

Daniels needs to pick up his defensive intensity. I'm hope Nellie's not ruining him.

[Murphy3]

Nash, Daniels, Walker, and Jamison have really come to play tonight...great job of finally stepping up.

[EricaLubarsky]

Walker played perfectly in the first half of the quarter. Perfectly.

[PubaNWO]

IF we do not come out up 10 or more....

I blame Nellie!

[Mavs Rule]

Jamison brings too much to the table to trade him over the summer unless we got an unbelievable deal for him. Nash is really bringing his "A" game tonight. Fin has to be more agressive. Walk is surprisingly good so far.
