Nice sequence there from Turiaf.

Start him over Joel!

 

[Black Mamba]

Odom has 5 points and 3 boards through nearly 3 quarters. If this is him getting back to par...

Dallas looks disinterested.

 

[Emwitus]

Odom kind of beastin.

Indeed. This is the type of game LO played for LA.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

It still blows my mind that the Mavericks let Barea and Chandler go and yet kept Jason Kidd. I can understand trying to stay under the cap, but surely Barea wouldn't have been that expensive to keep.

Wolves offered him the most so he went there

7 now

I'm convinced that Cuban's rationale was to keep max cap space available for this upcoming offseason to make a full run at two big time players.

Sure, the Dwight situation is different now, but unfortunately for BK, I just don't see Deron sticking around and fully expect him to be a Mav.

Convinced?

Cuban has said as much.

Oh. Wasn't aware he said so. :lol

 

[Black Mamba]

No, Cuban said he wasn't looking at 2 guys. He was looking at flexibility with the new CBA.

I've believed all along he's wanted to get Deron + good players to put around him, Dirk, and Marion.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Odom continues to beast.

 

[Mothman91]

Odom...bringing energy from the bench!!

 

[Emwitus]

LAMAR ODOM!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[ratcliffja]

I'm pretty sure Odom's just glad to be in an arena where he won't get booed. Silence is better than being booed at home.

 

[Shadow780]

The mole is gaining his trust inside enemy organization.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

LO for 3.

 

[Black Mamba]

Odom kept Dallas in the game in the 3rd. Wonder what happens here in the 4th.

 

[Puddles]

So many wasted possessions by the Mavs in that 3rd quarter.

Really hoping LeBron lives up to his reputations and allows the Mavs to steal this one in the 4th.

Better for Lakers for Dallas to lose.

^^ yea, Syphon...kind of tough for that to happen now that D12 opted in.

LOL, bron had all arm. please.

 

[PBY]

Refs are the Mavs' 6th man tonight.

Puddles irrational hate for all things Heat knows no bounds.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

this dallas team is trash trash trash.
go home. you're wasting my bf3 time.

 

[Puddles]

Heat losing >>>> Playoff seeding implications.

 

[Truphenom]

Some nice passing going on in this game.

 

[Emwitus]

What a useless bunch of role players!!! Wow. Easy looks and they miss em

 

[Black Mamba]

Heat losing >>>> Playoff seeding implications.

why? who fucking cares?

 

[Vire]

Dallas just isn't as good as they were last year, plain and simple.

We would have dominated them if this was the team we met up with in the Finals.

I'm being totally serious here: its the Barea factor.

Chandler alone makes this team alot better

No shit, they no longer have Chandler.

Some could argue Heat aren't as good this year, either. Hard to say.

No. Chandler was 2nd most important player after Dirk.


Cole can be so bad at times.

 

[PBY]

How the fuck could you argue this?

 

[Herpes Reasons]

wright is trash.

 

[aznpxdd]

Refs are the Mavs' 6th man tonight.

The irony.

 

[Branduil]

Forget Chandler, the Mavs don't even have Haywood tonight. Without Haywood their defense is trash.

 

[ratcliffja]

How the fuck could you argue this?

They definitely have more talent this year, but losing again really seemed to hurt the team's overall aura. They just seem more vulnerable this year than they did last year. There are now a lot of people who aren't even picking them to make the NBA Finals this year, whereas nearly every talking head proclaimed them to be a shoe-in for the title last year.

 

[Bishman]

Dallas will win this game by 3.

? People seriously have the worst fucking memories. Did you already forget last year? Nearly all the talking heads have us in the finals THIS year (which, for what its worth, means nothing), where that was def not the case last year. Some people had Boston over us, shit.

 

[Emwitus]

Agh! That fall

 

[dream]

Oh, here you guys are.

I don't think I like Syphon Filter being self-aware. :/

 

[Black Mamba]

How the fuck could you argue this?

They shoot worse, turn it over more, get to the line less and rebound worse than last season.

Why? I don't know. I wonder if they're just coasting til the playoffs. Like I said, and argument can be made.

 

[Branduil]

Enjoy that contract from one of the other 29 teams next year, JET.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this true for the the entire league?

 

[Emwitus]

Dirk is working harder than usual. And why is vince carter out?

 

[Branduil]

JET has the worst shot selection in basketball.

 

[Puddles]

Jesus Christ, can the Mavs make a goddamn 13 point run already?

 

[Vire]

Dirk is working harder than usual. And why is vince carter out?

Two words:

Shane Battier...

Would have been nice to have him last year.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

JET has the worst shot selection in basketball.

There's this team called the Lakers and this guy named K.......

 

[Vire]

Dallas will win this game by 3.

Sure about that?

 

[Emwitus]

Bring in vince and odom.....Gosh.

 

[Branduil]

Has there ever been a worse second option on a title team than JET?
