Washington @ Dallas Gameday Thread

[Bayliss]

Dirk looks like a rec league puece of trash who you believe can't play a lick but does **everything** for his team.

[Murphy3]

Damn, the Wizards just aren't looking worth a....Damn!

[Murphy3]

Bottom line...Stack's more likely to draw my ire because he's the type of guy that, on a game by game basis, is more likely to make poor decisions than just about anyone else on the team.

If you have a problem with that, so be it. But I could really care less.

[Murphy3]

Don't pass up shots to get the ball to Hendu in the post.

Dirk.

[Bayliss]

Perhaps Dirk should keep the headband?

He's looking to swat everything near the hoop... and is holding his ground defensively well... and keeping his hands active for steals...

[DubOverdose]

"Jamison had the best seat in the house for that dunk" after Dirk fakes him outta the way and slams it home

Dirk and Fin both threw passes to Hendu in the paint when they had better looks.

[Bayliss]

Dirk has scored 10 points but how many times have you ever said Dirk is "dominating this game without his scoring."?

He is absolutely everywhere.

[Murphy3]

It'd be nice for the Pacers to knock off the rockets...

[WildArkieBoy]

Except for a couple of silly turnovers by Stack and one by Dirk, almost a perfect half. Josh looked good!

WAB

[Murphy3]

Come on...don't force Nellie to call a TO when you're up 29.

[MavsFanFinley]

What's with the ugly start?

[FilthyFinMavs]

Damn Dirk just got two back to back turnovers. Why is he just standing with the ball? This is probably Dirk's best defensive effort i've ever seen him play.

[DubOverdose]

WAAAY too many turnovers!

[WildArkieBoy]

stuck on 81

[WildArkieBoy]

get mad Dirk!!!


get damn mad!!!!!

[HexNBA]

I say its time to unleash The Benga!

[Bayliss]

Dirk needs to get incolved offensively.

[WildArkieBoy]

great full length pass by Dirk! Stack is fouled!

[endtroducing]

the Jack Johnson story is perhaps the most saddening thing I've ever heard.

[DubOverdose]

Fortson would be perfect in this second half. There's a lot of fighting and pushing for rebounds that he's great at.

[Murphy3]

I think this'll be Dirk's first game this month where he hasn't scored at leat 25.

[Bayliss]

Fortson would be perfect in this second half.

Only if it was a pie eatin' contest.

[Murphy3]

Someone needs to step up and grab some boards.

[DubOverdose]

There's no excuse for letting the Wizards grab more offensive boards than defensive.

[Bayliss]

Dallas needs to go on a run to open this game and let the starters rest.

It's hard to grab boards that aren't there that's why they have so many offensive. They are missing so many shots.

[MavsFanFinley]

Mavs lead 101-78 after 3 quarters:

Howard (16) 3-4, 4-5, 10pts, 1rb, 1stl

Dirk (33) 7-13, 0-1, 6-6, 20pts, 9rbs, 3as, 3tos, 3stls, 3blks

Dampier (13) 1-2, 4-4, 6pts, 2rbs, 1as

Finley (30) 5-12, 4-6, 4-4, 18pts, 3rbs, 4as, 2tos, 1blk

Terry (28) 5-7, 1-2, 1-2, 12pts, 4rbs, 5as, 1to, 3stls

Stackhouse (25) 7-11, 1-3, 7-9, 22pts, 2as, 3tos

..well, three excuses.

1. The Mavs are on fire so there's been fewer defensive rebounds to go around.
2. The Wizards have shot the ball poorly so more offensive rebounds to go around.
3. Nellie has gone much of the game without a center on the court.

But yeah, otherwise, I agree. The Mavs need someone to grab some boards other than Dirk and Hendu.

Fin has only 3 boards
Stack has 0.
Howard has only 2.
Damp and Bradley combined for only 4.

[Murphy3]

A weird game for Fin...
5 threes and 3 air balls.

[Murphy3]

...didn't know JET could get up like that.

[endtroducing]

you should've seen him in college. he was insane.

[mercury_rev]

Four Mavs with 20 or more points

[endtroducing]

Terry is partying like it's 1998

I definitely did.....but that's been several years ago.

[endtroducing]

[DubOverdose]
