bad defense/incredible shooting. i was a bit shocked Jefferson did so well but the only Spur who really had a decent amount of trouble scoring was Duncan and that was only on the inside with Deandre guarding him. he hit most of his jumpers from the perimeter while the Clippers were missing most of their perimeter shots

Yes,Jefferson was playing well.James Anderson is going to be one of those key guys from the bench this year,that is if he stays healthy.I just wonder how the Spurs are going to do it when Gary Neal gets back.

Grizzlies would've won if they'd realised they were behind.

Bobcats suffered from poor clock management, too. 2.9 seconds, and they throw up a bad three immediately?

And how on earth is it that Randolph intentionally hammered Perkins, and the ref failed to call a foul?

He had an appendectomy during the pre-season.

Unbelievable shot by Durant. I've got to say he's the hardest player in the league to guard.

Durant is a killer :bowdown: :bowdown2:

I wish the Mavs would have won this, but it should give them confidence and finally win against the next Games.

And to take note that Durant is fading away to the right. :bowdown: :bowdown2:

Fuck that and1 layup by Lebron at the end. He mowed down Tolliver like a truck and no charging call. It doesnt matter Tolliver was slightly out of position. The fact that Lebron lowered his shoulder in his drive at the moment of impact should had been enough to warrant charge.
And fuck Tolliver too missed 2 clutch freethrows..

I want Minnesota to be good so Rubio will get more rep

Honestly, how do the refs justify that call? It was a disgrace, and everybody saw it. (N)

EDIT: Dear lord, is there any team more on fire than the Clippers right now? Who'd a thought it a couple years ago?

Refs went to work in that Mavs game. Can't let defending champs go 0-4

Some questionable calls there, too. But none as blatant and decisive as that LeFreightTrain bonus call. Although that alley-oop inbounds play to Wade was sweeeeet.

Tolliver was out of position. Arguable, but benefit of the doubt goes to the offensive player.

Out of everybody in the roster, Ian Mahinmi secured the Mavs the first victory of the season

Then, plays like that can not be defended. Not under today's rules. LeExploit can just tear shoulder first through Tolliver's sternum and it's fine. Benefit of the doubt my ass. :? No worries, mate. I just really wanted the Wolves to win. Inspiring game by Rubio. :applaud:

I liked him a lot tonight. But he always seems so nervous on defense. Also, Haywood had a bunch of great offensive boards. This was the first game I watched live this season and I was shocked how out of place Odom looked. If they can't integrate him, Dallas is in big trouble.

Plays like what? An offensive player driving past a defender when the defender is out of position? Of course they can't be defended, that's why it's called being out of position.
