Mavs 2011-2012 Thread

[DeddRekoning]

I think the whole team needs to just get in better physical shape and we'll be able to defend the championship better

Mavs laying it on the Thunda tonight. Mavs got a nice lead and OKC made their run and the Mavs pushed back. Going to the 4th up by 13.

Vincanity be happening tonight with Haywood trying to look like an actual center lol

Haywood has 6/6 (pts / reb), but look at Mahinmi with 10/9 so far.

Mavs with an impressive win tonight...knocking out OKC 100-87.

[mustang_marc]

W/o Durant's lucky shot last week, the Mavs would have beaten OKC both times and would be 3-3.
The Wolves who took us out hard last night, took out the Spurs tonight too.

[DeddRekoning]

yea...the T-Wolves could be dangerous. They have good rebounding and several shooters.

Not only did the Wolves win but Manu broke his had...Spurs will be 50% record this year.

I don't know how many of you watched the game, but OKC handed that game to Dallas. They had no rotation on offense and played 1 on 1 ball the entire second half. I don't think we have seen OKC's best game, but it is still a good win for Dallas.

What was Odoms stat line?

I know the broadcast commented early in the 4th how there was no rhythm on offense without Westbrook and Durant in there, but I don't know about them just handing it to us. We of course, almost gave it away with a couple minutes to go with 4 straight turnovers, of which I think they scored on everyone. Without that little letdown, it'd have likely been a 20 pt blowout.

Put the Suns away with no trouble. 3-4, need to keep building on this momentum.

And the Spurs are on tap tomorrow night. They held off Golden St tonight. Should be an interesting game. Gin-blo-me is out, but the Mavs of other seasons seemed to played down to the level of another team when they're missing a key player. Hopefully there's no let up for the Mavs tomorrow night.

I hear ya but I think they will take care of the spurs

I watched almost the entire game for the first time this season.

Things I took away from it:
Dirk is starting to get in shape
Terry still has the 3 in the 4th
Mahinmi is going to be a beast. I love his hustle and he has great hands.
Carter is enjoying himself. A happy carter is a good Carter for us. He may be enough to fill the Butler hole.
Still on the fence with West.
Odom looks to be getting back in shape.

I wish we had Gortot. That was impressive last night
Nash has lost his skills.

If this team stays motivated, and keeps progressing, they have a great shot at taking the West. They are deeper than I realized at first. They almost have 2 starting lineups.

I didn't expect much out of Mahinmi, but I definitely like what I see so far. He is hustling...and I think it's inspiring Haywood. The C spot combined for 9 pts, 17 reb, and 2 blocks last night. They had 16/17/2 against OKC. I'll take it.

It guys in the telecast were funny, talking about how much they liked Gortat and how much they wished the Mavs had been able to sign him and Orlando hadn't matched their offer last year...then quickly backtracked and talked their selves out of it by saying if they signed Gortat, then they wouldn't have gotten Chandler...and thus the NBA title.

I think Carter is at the point of his career where he will do what it takes to win the championship. That the pressure isnt on him like it was in Orlando. Most guys like Allen Iverson in the past would complain and cause a rift because of being moved from the starter to the bench. Carter hasn't. I dont think he is effective as a starter, but he can be for 20 mins off the bench.
