Mavs 2011-2012 Thread

[Juiced4v]

Yea, and after these next 5 games, look at this schedule:

SA
at Denver
LAL
at SA
at Houston
Houston
at Miami
at Orlando
LAC
Memphis
Portland
at Memphis

Damn, that is a hard next 12 games after these easier 5. they really need to win the next 5 games before heading into SA.

Cant wait for the Spurs and Mavs match-up...

Spurs ftw!

Haven't been able to watch games this year but the Mavs need to come on with it, they have a tough schedule coming up.

[DeddRekoning]

fuck man...stop shooting jumpers and go to the basket

[mstng86]

this team is really hard to get.

They are like 3rd to last in points in the paint. IN other words, they don't go to the basket. The only slashers are roddy b and Vince. Dirk isn't going to the basket like he did in the playoffs last year.

I didn't watch the game last night, and probably won't tonight/tomorrow either. I hate staying up for West Coast games unless it's the Lakers. I see Dallas had a big lead and blew it. Dallas seems to have lost some intensity/toughness since Delonte West went down. Terry wasn't in on the final play last night and his comment after the game scares me. It tells me there's something going on with this team...because it seems as though the player is questioning the coach.

---One player who wondered why he wasn't in the game at the end was sharpshooter Jason Terry.

"I can't check myself in and out of the game," he said. "You got to ask the person who didn't have me in the game. Ask him his thoughts on why I wasn't in the game. What I think doesn't matter."

Asked why Terry wasn't in the game Carlisle simply said "coach's decision."---

I get the feeling the Mavs are in trouble.

I am not pushing the panic button yet. Dirk is back to form and there are alot of positives on this team right now. They just need to put it all together. Even Odom seemed to be playing with some passion last night. When west gets back, the rotation is locked again and they will make a run. Get Haywood and West back, start getting these guys to get to drive the ball, and let Terry and Kidd drop the 3's. That should be the game plan on offense.

If you say so, with the stretch of games they have coming up and they way they are playing its possible they wont even make the playoffs!

Yea, hopefully the next 4 games give them time to get some stuff worked out. Besides a tough schedule like that could just bring them to playing better with each other.

Mr.Pope......OKC will not make it to the finals again this year...S.A or Mavs will take them out....Hopefully Spurs take them out....but OKC is a regular season team.

I'm not a Mavs fan but I know they will be ok and in the mix when playoffs come around.

[Pope]

We owned Dallas this season, I'm not worried about them. The Spurs are a good team so we will have to see how things go in the post season. If anything is to be said about us this season its that we find ways to win and don't give up even when we are counted out. I hope that the Mavs and Spurs come in thinking they will roll us. We are 17-1 at home so as long as we can get ahead in any series we will have a huge advantage there. It's hard for other teams to win in Loud City.

[mustang_marc]

Mavs laid another egg at Sac-town tonight. Lost by 13.

[DeddRekoning]

i seriously think that if we get everyone healthy and stay in the playoff hunt, we can make a good run

[06S197GT]

Everyone is inconsistent right now minus Dirk as far as scoring goes. But it really pisses me off that Egg head Terry runs his mouth all year long and doesn't back it up. Being a veteran in the league and in this team you would think he would be more consistent. It really irks me when he feels like he earned the privilege to shoot the final shots of the game when he has been cold all night. Another thing I don't understand is why the hell are they always settling for jump shots? They need a quick guy like say Rodrigue B. or Marion to penetrate the paint. They just don't have, or do that enough.

This coupled with horrible perimeter shooting is what is losing games. Not to mention the stupid fouls they commit in the 4th quarter and overall bad defense.

End of 1st Q and Mavs are down 26-15. Looks like another long night in the making. Not gonna even bother...

[DeddRekoning]

this is fucking pitiful...I think the schedule is taking a big toll on this old ass team and the Odom controversy hasn't helped over the last couple of weeks
