2012-13 Oct/Nov NBA Season |OT| Mavericks Attempt To Defend Title
- Thread starter reilo
- Start date
You've got to be fucking kidding me...
Mavs have really upped their defense in this quarter.
Well just take this offense and replace Elton Brand with the best offensive seven-footer in the league.
They'll probably get a little bit better.

Still got 3 minutes left for the game so it's not over. Never feel safe with a lead with rebounding like this.
What are you confused about? We were not a dynamite offensive team when we won the championship. We did not get a lot of those 20 plus point wins like we did with Nelson. This is more fun for me. Over the course of four games.

Dude we haven't had (in a long time) a team that has had this many people who can score. It was always Dirk and Jet and no one else.

LOL...wrong sport Brooks..
What games were you watching? Was it the offensive powerhouse of Dirk and Terry versus Lebron, Wade, and Bosh?

Just the deepest roster in the NBA
The games where the Mavs continuously came down from double-digit deficits and won it with abnormal three-point shooting? They averaged 10 three-pointers MADE during the first 4 games versus Portland, and something stupid like 15 three-pointers made versus the Lakers? The ones where they dropped 122 on the Lakers, 121 on the Thunder, 112 on the Thunder, and 112 on the Heat? The games where they had a Top 8 offensive rating in the league? That team? Yeah. I think so.
They really weren't anything amazing on offense, just really efficient... although they did explode in that lakers series.
Stupid coaching decision to leave LaMarcus out until the 7-something mark in the fourth while the Mavs were able to double/trap Damian up top with a big because they didn't have to respect Leonard or Freeland in the post.
The 2011 Mavs had a great, efficient offense, but it was different from this one. They were a veteran, well-oiled machine that relied on intelligence over speed and athleticism.
The reason a lot of Mavs fans are excited about this team is that for the first time in a really long time the Mavs have a backcourt with youth and athleticism. Also, what's impressive is that they're scoring like this without Dirk.

The Spurs' Big 3 barely played, Manu and Parker combined for 9 points, and they beat the Pacers by 22, lol.
Hibbert with more turnovers than points and assists combined.

All aboard! The Love train!
I feel like Sacramento's offense is designed to get them long jump shots.

Mayo playing like we knew he could finally
Yeah they are different but let's not pretend that they haven't been a powerhouse O for over a decade

Mayo shooting 70% from three isn't going to come close to happening going forward as he's an average shooter.
They have, but so much of that has been Dirk. Whenever Dirk's been out in the last few years the offense collapses because everything was built around Dirk's superstar skills. Right now this Mavs team is showing it can score without Dirk.
Obviously not. They'll have to improve on defense and rebounding as they go forward. Of course they did beat the Lakers without Mayo shooting well.
I mean they have always been top 10 over the last decade, but starting with Avery they became a lot slower. I would have to look it up but i bet that we were not top 5 that championship year.

Always good to beat Portland.
And man it is exciting watching this team. They might have scored the ball well over the years but it was always the same thing.. Dirk doing work and then JET or someone else would get hot shooting the ball. This is entirely different.. so many different elements from different players. Cannot wait to see what it looks like with Dirk in there.

Missed the knicks game. 3-0! And Nets lose, beautiful day[hi Morris]
I remember several NBA gaffers creaming over Griffin even saying they would take him over Dwight to start a team LOL.

That's always been because of Dirk and how durable he has been, hardly ever missing games. Dirk creates so many mismatches that he's never really had to have a second allstar to be a part of a high scoring team. But as we all saw last year, now that Dirk is starting to get old, he just can't handle the load anymore and it showed by the Mavs being one of the worst offensive teams. That's why we are excited to see this team, without Dirk, being able to score 100+ points a game specifically because of Mayo and Collison.
