Phoenix @ Dallas Gameday Thread

[orangedays]

I think the AA crowd will give Nash a standing ovation, no booing.

I hope our perimeter defense is able to hold the freakin' Suns' four player backcourt. I agree that Jet is going to have a big game, and maybe Damp too.

We'll see how it turns out but I'm thinking the Mavs defend their home turf with panache. Not alot of defense tonight though I'll tell you that.

Mavs 124 - Suns 120

Don't forget the game is on HDnet tonight!

And Booth got his ass chewed by dirk.

[cheesestar]

three steals already..

[MavsFanFinley]

Is there a shot Harris and Daniels don't like?

[Mandyahl]

where is everyone?? at the game, i guess...but it sure is quiet around here.

[MavsFanFinley]

Maybe someone can come down from the stands and hit a basket because the Mavs sure can't.

[cheesestar]

its unpleasant that nash has more rebounds than damp

[MavsFanFinley]

Mavs lead 24-22 after 1st quarter:

Howard (8) 1-3, 2pts, 2rbs

Dirk (12) 1-5, 4-4, 6pts, 5rbs, 1as, 1blk

Dampier (5) 1-1, 2pts, 1rb, 2tos, 1blk

Daniels (11) 1-3, 0-1, 2pts, 1stl

Harris (6) 1-5, 0-1, 2pts, 2stls

Booth (7) 1-3, 2pts, 3rbs, 1blk

Terry (6) 1-1, 2pts, 1rb, 1stl

Stackhouse (5) 2-4, 2-2, 6pts

SOMEONE GET JASON KIDD ON THE PHONE!!!!!!!

[Bayliss]

Mandy... I just got the game. Storm is affecting the satellite signal. It will probably been in and out all night.

The Mavs need to "suck it up" literally, and defend and rebound. The shots will fall at some point.

[MavsFanFinley]

It doesn't sound good about Terry's ankle. He wasn't putting any pressure on it??

[Phil Helmuth]

whats up with JET?

[MavsFanFinley]

Terry sprained his ankle and won't return.

Sounds like Dampier won't return with his injury. Hip Flexor.

[Bookit]

Terry, Finley, and Dampier all Injured. Great. Harris needs to step up offensively, same as Howard.

[Mandyahl]

good to see that nash has 9 assists and the mavs as a team have 5. [img]i/expressions/moon.gif[/img]

[Phil Helmuth]

Man this sucks. At least Harris is getting some steals from Nash. Come on Damp don't wimp out!

[Big_Dog]

damn, nash's got 9 assists already...

[cheesestar]

grab some rebounds!!!

[Bayliss]

Daniels has a fastbreak and instead of giving it up gets called for the foul.

[Mandyahl]

nash's assist total now doubles that of the mavs.

i guess on the bright side nash has as many turnovers as the whole team as well.

[Bookit]

Shawn Marion and Stoudmire are just killing the Mavs with their rebounding. Does Josh even have a rebound?

[MavsFanFinley]

Maybe the injuries to Damp and Terry are blessings in disguise.

[Mandyahl]

seriously, the lack of defensive rebounding is becoming a huge concern...as is the lack of assists.

somebody's a bit cynical today... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

[Dirkenstien]

Nash already with 10 assists with 3 1/2 minutes to go in the second period. sheesh

[cheesestar]

what a dagger by nash

we need to step it up big time if we want to win

[Phil Helmuth]

Put the mantis in for a change of pace.

[cheesestar]

is damp hurt?

[Mandyahl]

so, uhhhh this really sucks.

[MavsFanFinley]

Go Stackhouse !!

[Bayliss]

Nellie has decided to go small and it is killing them.

[Phil Helmuth]

Why is our team made of pussies? Play through injuries. Damp you are soft!

[Murphy3]

I love watching Henderson not giving the ball to Dirk and deciding to take the ball on his own...
Dirk's not even getting touches for the most part now..
Freaking idiots out there on the court.

[cheesestar]

this is sick, what happened to our D and rebounding?

You have no idea what the severity of the injury is....chill out

[aexchange]

F YOU STACKHOUSE!!!!

YOU MORON! PASS THE ASFKSJAFKASFJqrjr3214r213 4124 BALLLLL

[aexchange]

i've never been so frustrated to see an idiot hog the ball for 15 seconds on the shot clock and throw up brick after brick.

wait i saw walker do that all of last year. PASS THE $!@#$!@#$!@ BALL YOU AHOLE!!!

[Bayliss]

Oh... btw, Daniels blew another wide open layup in this game. It's becoming habit. A really bad habit.

It's going to be hard to rebound if Nellie stays "small" all game. At some pount he has got to let DJ, Booth, and Bradley be the centers.
