I love how the crowd reacted after Tyreke made the shot. If someone that didn't follow the NBA would've watched it, they would have probably said, "Nice playoff game. Who's winning the series?"

Great Game by Rose-Boozer-Deng Trio!!Hopefully 2011 will enter on a fancy way against Cleveland!

Nice. Still can't get over how Captain Jack shot a THREE instead going inside and shooting a two when the Bobcats were down by one at the end of the game.

DeRozan scored 37 pts. in a loss against the Rockets.

He's not exactly shooting horribly from three this year, and with 8.5 seconds on the clock you don't really want to pass up an open shot. I'd have to see video before deciding how good or bad a decision it was, though.

Warriors 7-8 from deep, including Monta's half-court shot. They're fuckin can't miss right now.

The ball was inbounded at half court with 8 1/2 seconds left. He had plenty of time to drive inside and put up a floater or a midrange jumper. Instead he almost walked to the three point line and jacked up a shot. I agree he's a good shooter this season, but he shouldn't rely on a three when he has time to take it inside.

Just when you thought interior defense wasn't up to par for the Heat this season, exterior defense tonight was awful during the first half. Down by 20 in late second quarter, every 3s that Warriors made were open shots.

Despite the win, this game was pure ugly.

Wright just stepped up big time tonight against his ex-team... at least in the first half.

Wish granted, George. They won against the Cavs, 100-91. They only gave up 9 points in the 3rd quarter, but they also let Cleveland score 21 points in the 4th. (Y)

3 straight for the Mavericks. Fuck that

Re: General game-day thoughts/comments

Uh oh! Looks like things are starting to crumble for the Mavericks after such a great start. It's still early into the season but if things do not go right this year, they should definitely look at other coaching options. Carlisle will have been given plenty of chances for a guy who hasn't taken a very talented team very far. I'm not a huge fan of him anyway.

3 straight losses and you guys are already hitting the panic button?

Not really, I just hate the Mavs losing especially without Dirk but I guess that expected.

Re: General game-day thoughts/comments

Sun Jan 02, 2011 6:44 pm

Even without Dirk, more should be expected. Getting manhandled by the Bucks who was 12-18? That shouldn't happen when you're a top team even without one of a superstar in the line-up. So much for #1 team in this week's power ranked #1 team.

This should make Dirk extremely sad that this team is just utter shit without him, especially after all those years of building around him.

Re: General game-day thoughts/comments

Sun Jan 02, 2011 7:00 pm

The people who power ranked the Mavs #1 are the same fools who have Derrick Blows as the top MVP candidate. Based on nothing but objective observation (and I've observed that Dallas isn't very good - the stats back up that they are good, but not elite)

But Milwaukee is a good team that is finally starting to find itself after a rough start. They were good last year and have the pieces - just haven't put it together this year. Losing to the Bucks in Milwaukee without your star is nothing to be ashamed of.

Re: General game-day thoughts/comments

I don't mind that the Mavs lose to the Bucks even against the Spurs but it is damn unacceptable to lose to the Craptors at home. I know you win and lose games but come on.

And it seems Caron Butler has been injured as well, Marion too. :(

Re: General game-day thoughts/comments

There's been talk of a torn patellar tendon for Butler (N)

Damn. Dirk, Marion, and Butler all injured. :shock:

JJ Barea had it going on last night though. (Y)

Re: General game-day thoughts/comments

Mon Jan 03, 2011 4:29 am

JJ Barea had it going, oh yeah, but Earl Boykins did just about as good in the winning cause. This small guy is still balling seriously. (Y)

Just wait til good ol Dirk comes back from injury and see how the mavericks start winning again, hopefully they don't need Caren Butler with him being out, as bad as they need Dirk.

Shawn Marion better step it up. Butler's injury could take some time.
