Mavs Talk

[colleyvillesooner]

I liked this retweet by Bob:

Are the Mavs having a team 3 pt contest we don't know about?

[instigator]

Way too many threes last night, but I couldn't be happier about the position they are in. I would love to see a Dallas-OKC WCF.

If the Heat beat _allas again in the Finals will the _allas fans cry conspiracy again?

Only if Wade doesn't shoot more free throws than all the Mavs combined in a game.

And the Mavs actually hold onto a large lead in Game 3 already up 2-0.

[Collier11]

this Mavs team is def different than those in the past

[Ruf/Nek7]

Its obviously not conspiracy when Donaghy reveals it all in his book.

[soonerbub]

WOW

good luck against Memphis














THUNDER UP

[Ruf/Nek7]

I am numbed with shock and awe. What the Mavs did today was ungodly! Jerry 9-10, Peja 6-6, and BRIAN FREAKIN CARDINAL 1-1. Barea is lucky to make it out alive with the cheap shots he had to take.
After guarding Kobe this series, guarding westbrook should be an easier task for Kidd. Glad Mavs get some rest too...huge! GO MAVS

[Ruf/Nek7]

THUNDER UP

Is that a generic brand pop you get from wal-mart or something?

[Collier11]

as much as I dislike Dallas, it was really nice to see the Lakers get their azzes spanked, and it was nice to see the true character of the Lakers

I am unable to talk smack until we prove we can play 4 quarters in Memphis

but...Kidd on Westbrook = advantage Dallas?? really??

Yeah pretty sure i never said "advantage Dallas" i just said it should be an easier task for kidd, unless you think Westbrook is a better scorer than Kobe

WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!

Talk about running into an absolute buzzsaw....Game of Jet Terry's life for sure. The whole bench for the Mavs was outstanding, just like it had been all series. The Mavs hit them with a haymaker in the first half and Lakers never recovered.

As a Mavs fan, you can't help but be happy for Dirk and Jet who have suffered year after year. They both stepped up in this series and helped put and end to the defending champions run for a 3rd straight title.

The Mavs confidence is so high now, that I wish the Conference Finals started tomorrow, but some much deserved rest is in order. It will do wonders for Kidd. Also hoping the extra time off might increase the chances of Caron making a come back.

Kidd proved he can still D-up with the best of them in this series for sure. Kidd does struggle with having to guard the super-quick PGs like Westbrook, Paul, or Parker. He's had the benefit of matching up against old guys like Andre Miller and Derek Fisher in the first couple of rounds.

If the Mavs do play OKC, I wonder if Stevenson will get the nod to cover Westbrook starting out?

I understand your point here but Kobe has tremendous speed too. If kidd does get beat, chandler and dirk will be right there. OKC has to get past memphis right now and that has proven to be a real tough task. Especially if Durant keeps throwing up bricks....shorthorn.

[ouleaf]

I'm certainly pulling for OKC, b/c I think it's a better matchup for the Mavs....Marion typically plays Durant pretty well, Westbrook could pose some problems if Kidd has to chase him around for 30 minutes a night.

Memphis has proven they can beat up a veteran laden team in the Spurs, now they are taking it to a young, athletic OKC team.

[Bradz]

and there you go. now a week off. hope it doesn't disrupt the momentum.

[Ruf/Nek7]

So if OKC/Memphis goes only 6, next tip will be Sunday (5/15) afternoon. If the series goes 7 then first tip of Western Conf. finals will be Tuesday night. (5/17) Alot of rest and preparation for the Mavs. Hope it doesn't cool us down.

[ouleaf]

Yeah....i'm worried rust will accumulate with the extended time off, but it is certainly great for Kidd. If he can come out like he did at the beginning of the Portland series (after sitting out the last week or so of regular season games) that'll get us off to another great start.

[colleyvillesooner]

You can knock rust off in a quarter/half. Way better than what memphis and OKC are going through. They have basically played an extra game with all these OT's. Durant played something like 57 mins last night.
