GDT: Dallas at Detroit, January 17 2:30 p.m. central

[Underdog]

Wow, even a hobbled Dirk is unstoppable.

[deamon]

Just Carlisle, 3 PG line.

[Flacolaco]

What in the bloody hell is going on with this thing?

They aren't winning this game so its stupid to risk hurting Dirk again.

[Usually Lurkin]

lot of alley oops over Dirk

[EricaLubarsky]

take Dirk out

[mavErika]

Seriously, thanks Dirk!

[Kidd Karma]

geez hof entry pass, can't even get there, time to throw in the towel RC.

[Rick41]

At least this broadcast duo isn't a pair of bafoonic a$$holes like other teams.

[fluid.forty.one]

Do you think Pop would be playing Dirk/Kidd right now?

[#41]

Dirk is at ~80% and has 40% of our points, not a good sign...

[Dtownsfinest]

I don't know what to say. This has become a embarrassment.

[CadBane]

Kidd is pathetic. All our PG's have been owned by Greg Monroe.

[twistaeffect2004]

Boy oh boy this season is getting ugly.

[Kante]

Dirk just waived his hand, saying it´s over...

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Rest Dirk for LA...not that we have much of a chance in that game.....

It just shows what a fine line there is between winning and losing. It's talent but it's also confidence as we can easily see..

[Underdog]

[CadBane]

Dirk is -3. Every other starter is at least -14...

I've seen some games I think it was against the Mavs where the Spurs were down 18 in the 3rd quarter and he sat his starters the rest of the game even though a comeback was possible. So no, I don't think Pop would be playing Dirk and Kidd right now lol.

[Funkman]

Down to 16, Detroit scared and calling timeout.

[Bayliss]

Carlisle goes to the 3 guard lineup. God, he loves that gimmick.

[rabbitproof]

DM.com law is officially okaying the inclusion of Kidd in fantasy trades.

That's why I love RC...he's an outstanding coach according to some on this board. He's an @#$$%@(*&.!

I reluctantly co-sign this.

If you could get a good PG and SF for Kidd/Caron, you kinda have to.

[TNT]

clippers-pacers game is much more intresting. Griffin has allready scored 36 points

He needs to get his groove back/game shape.

And the best way to get back in the groove is playing when it matters.

In the beginning of the 4th quarter there was still a chance to close the gap. And to sit your best (and today only scorer) is silly IMO. Now the game is over and he should rest, no discussion here.

[Rick41]

Dirk really cant jump anymore, even with good knees.

[Dtownsfinest]

I forgot RIP even plays for them. Why is he sitting?

It's hard to say...it has as much to do with how the team is going as with the score of the game. If the mavs lose by 10 with a closeout and they battle the entire game...that's better than having a third blowout in a row.

Pop usually does that stuff when the team is going well but they have a bad night...This is a team that is going in the crapper and needs anything, something, good to happen. I'm not sure throwing in the towel is what they need.

[fluid.forty.one]

Rick is still riding his injured horse.

Now it's over and he should sit. That's for sure. But in the beginning of the 4th there was still a chance to come back. That's why I said he should have started the 4th.

No room in the rotation + trade rumors.

Trade protection.

I agree. I made that post with about 6 minutes left.

[Dirkules41]

Wow, Dirk!

I take back what I said.

Now that Dirk is STILL in this game is just plain horsecrap.

[Funkman]

Better an injured horse than a shetland pony.
