Game 68 March 16, 2011: Mavs at Warriors

The key matchup is wrong because Monta will probably play double the minutes as Beaubois.

Mavs lose again while DIRK posts another impressive double-double. DIRK's teammates are rounding into playoff form early this year especially Tyson Chandler.

Let's see how close DIRK & Matrix can keep this 1.

This game concerns me.

Dallas is favored by 3.5 points, but I can see the Warriors winning.

Officially a troll.

He may disagree with you and me, but he is not trolling. He is just down on a team that is not performing well.

Mavs are regressing back to the mean. They were bound to lose some games that they should win. Mavs will end up in mid to high 50's in wins, but will need to have a massively improved defensive mind set make hay in the playoffs.

GO TEH MAVS!!

I have been trying to figure out why Mavs have regressed so much after the Nuggets loss, and I cannot come with a simple conclusion:

1) injuries
2) chemistry is hurt after we add Roddy and Brewer
3) tough schedule/stamina
4) thinking too much about keeping #2 seed/under pressure
5) certain individual not playing well
6) lack of confidence after some tough losses
etc

It has to be a mix of reasons, but I don't think 'bad coaching' is one of them since we have Rick as our coach for the entire year, and we looked so much better not too long ago. (I am not trying to defend Rick since his rotation decisions are terrible in most of the games, but I don't see him as main reason) So what really went wrong??? Ain't we expecting our team to be truly contending after Roddy is back from the injury???

Roddy going for 40 tonight.

Good luck guys, you'll crush us. The Warriors were all hungover the other night in our blow out loss to the Kings from Steph's birthday. The mood is dire, and the season is done, so you guys should cruise.

I'd be happy if he got 40 minutes for once

It's not trolling when I'm telling the truth. It's been DIRK & Marion hustling on both ends of the court the past few games, while the other teammates haven't done their jobs. Mavs backcourt can't defend anyone and therefore allow tons of penetration, and Tyson Chandler is soft against real post players.

Mavs will need a lineup of Marion/DIRK/Haywood frontcourt in the postseason and also only play guards that are willing to play defense, so that means no Barea & Terry.

Brewer starting at SF. Haywood still out tonight.

This is Brewers chance to show what he can do with 15-20 mins of play

Didn't realize David Lee had range that extended to 21 feet. Pretty impressive.

ahonui06 · Post #15 » by **ahonui06** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 2:51 am

Pretty sure DIRK was fouled there. No way he "misses" a layup.

Mavs starting pretty strong. Only down 8.

Ice32 · Post #16 » by **Ice32** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 2:51 am

Ugly start for the Mavs....wont take much to get back in it though

Awesome.

I missed the first few possessions, wtf happened?

Also I'm not a fan of Brewer starting, but oh well.

DIRK didn't make his first jumpshot and was fouled on the layup (no way he misses without getting hacked).

Chandler once again playing like a powderpuff.

RC is pretty stupid for pulling Marion from the starting lineup after how well he has been playing.

Just another glaring example of how terrible he is when it comes to rotations.
