The transition defense is bad? What transition defense?

mercury_rev · 11-09-2004, 08:09 PM

Does anyone know the Mavs' record for lowest FG% in one game?

me too. we are playing so bad right now. what is nellie doing?

We just suck. Fatigue definitely looks likea factor. We just aren't executing offensively, we arent getting back defensively and we dont have the energy when it's half court.

Quetzalcoatl · 11-09-2004, 08:11 PM

It's 5-26!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

mary · 11-09-2004, 08:11 PM

good 5 point trip down the court...nice steal by Harris

rakesh.s · 11-09-2004, 08:11 PM

relax they'll be fine..this team reminds me a lot of the 2002 team that was winning on the road, winning games being behind..

they'll wake up in the 2nd half

I don't know if I buy the fatigue thing. I just feel like we aren't executing for whatever reason. We just don't seem to be in sync -- at all.

Bayliss · 11-09-2004, 08:14 PM

Marquis Daniels is definitely a shooting guard.

Not sure why Nellie goes away from the "elbow" on offense with Dirk.

three fouls, shooting 0-5?

Before the 3 fouls. Perhaps, Dirk should be at the elbow rto start the game.

Franchise record lows

FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE
Season........................................ .420 (3,124-7,431) 1995-96
Game ......................................... .274 at Detroit (22-81) 11/8/80
Half............................................ .181 at Utah (2nd) (6-33) 3/5/97
Period ........................................ .000 at L.A. Lakers (3rd) (0-15) 4/6/97
Overtime .................................... .000 at Sacramento (1st) (0-6) 2/27/03

EricaLubarsky · 11-09-2004, 08:24 PM

It would be historical (24 years in the making) if we kept shooting as poorly as we did in the first half. I highly doubt that we could end the game at 27.3% even if we put in M'Benga and demand that he takes shots.

Hitman · 11-09-2004, 08:24 PM

More troubling than the "0" is the "5".

Again...this team, 4 games in, is 4-0.

But on the flipside, the leading assist man is Devin Harris at....

Drumrolll please...

3.3

NOBODY on this team looks for the extra pass, with the exception of

Dirk

when he is touching the ball with regularity. And even he, starts to force shots when he goes 6+ minutes without touching the ball.

Everyone else on the main rotation: Terry, Stack, Howard, Damp, Danels, Howard and Fin

is thinking "I need to shoot" as soon as they touch the ball.

It is so obvious, and so destructive.

Yes, 4-0 is great, but personally the last 15 quarters have troubled me.

We need to learn the art of the pass.

HexNBA · 11-09-2004, 08:24 PM

"Half......................................... ... .181 at Utah (2nd) (6-33) 3/5/97"

ouch, brutal

Dirkenstien · 11-09-2004, 08:26 PM

its been a poor game for us so far but we'll pull it out in the second half...there should be no way we shoot as poorly as we did in the last half

EricaLubarsky · 11-09-2004, 08:26 PM

if we can score 5points in 6.4 seconds, then no game is out of reach.

acebball · 11-09-2004, 08:28 PM

Key is to get Dirk out of the blocks quickly here. Maybe it's time to put in Dickau for an outside threat and Booth to block some of those layups...can Pavel come in...just joking...this one worries me and I feel an L coming due to the late arrival and early start...tough combination...

EricaLubarsky · 11-09-2004, 08:30 PM

this just in: we are still playing in slo-mo.

Mandyahl · 11-09-2004, 08:30 PM

not a good start to the half.

Yeah, lets call the NBA offices and clear him to come off the IR. [img]i/expressions/anim_roller.gif[/img]

that's what I don't like so far. Maybe it is due to fatigue. They don't look like they're hustling as much as the other games.

samoan-maverick · 11-09-2004, 08:32 PM

If Dirk doesnt get into this game our first L will come from a Leastern Conference team. I'm not mad at Marquis cuz he is supposed to be our second go to guy. Dirk needs to get in it.

mary · 11-09-2004, 08:32 PM

Dirk....pass to the guy in blue....blue..

Murphy3 · 11-09-2004, 08:32 PM

the mavs need a couple of made shots...somethign to get them goign offensively

Mandyahl · 11-09-2004, 08:33 PM

this is getting ugly...if they don't show me something soon, i may have to go do something else so i don't throw my computer out the window...

Bayliss · 11-09-2004, 08:33 PM

Go ahead and take Dirk out if he doesn't want to play.

EricaLubarsky · 11-09-2004, 08:33 PM

WHAAAAAAAATTTTTTT?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?! ?

mary · 11-09-2004, 08:34 PM

no comeback tonight...this game is done folks

stick a fork in 'em

Mandyahl · 11-09-2004, 08:35 PM

ok, 20 points?? what is going on?

Dirkenstien · 11-09-2004, 08:35 PM

wow...this is looking terrible

EricaLubarsky · 11-09-2004, 08:36 PM

Dirk falls on his own volition, then he fails to even look up or jump for the rebound.

foglemann · 11-09-2004, 08:36 PM

Dirk needs to wake up quick

EricaLubarsky · 11-09-2004, 08:36 PM

Finley is now injured.....great.

If we are going to lose, play Booth, Benga and Bradley- guys that still have energy. When you are tired, your stabilizers arent there and ankles are sprained more easily.

edit he's back on the floor.

mary · 11-09-2004, 08:37 PM

Finley hurt F*(&(*

Mandyahl · 11-09-2004, 08:37 PM

oh no...what happened to fin??

Murphy3 · 11-09-2004, 08:38 PM

Dirk looks God awful...but, when you add in Harris, Stack, and Fin into the equation...it makes for a long night.

Dirk....are you going to nut up or are you going to call it a night?

MavsFanFinley · 11-09-2004, 08:38 PM

Just when I thought it couldn't get worse.

rakesh.s · 11-09-2004, 08:38 PM

that finley ankle roll did not look good considering he was going full speed

foglemann · 11-09-2004, 08:38 PM

Well, this could be a nasty start to this road trip. I really hoped we could compete and now Findog hits the deck, that will probably take Finley three weeks to get over. Dirk, come on, we need you, very badly now.
