Those facial expressions on Z-bo and Dirk are awesome!

Please don't hurt us tonight. Just take your double-digit win and let us leave town intact. We still haven't beaten a quality West team this year and tonight isn't going to be the night I'm afraid.

We just don't match up well here at all.

Excited for this game. Should be great.

Chuck, I actually think the matchups here are perfect. This should come down to the wire. Both teams have a good chance to win

We need to make sure Chandler doesn't dominate the glass. That is going to be the key in this one.

Clearly a moving screen on Dirk before...

Filthy spin move by Marc for an And 1. Big time play.

The Mavs are 6-7 from three....can any team miss against the Grizz?

Refs have been horrible.

The Grizz offense have to get off to a strong start in the second half. Everybody not name Gasol got to step up. The Mavs are lightin it up from beyond the arc shooting 10-17 from 3 point range. It's time for the defense to step up and contest the perimeter and slow down the Mavs offense.

Somebody got to get a body on Chandler. :nonono:

Lee gets hit with his 4th foul. Pray that don't come with a cost.

Post #12 » by **SD2042** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 2:32 am

That move by Z-Bo should get him going. Grizz up 5pts.

Great pass from Gasol to Prince for the putdown in the faces of the Mavs.

Grizz still continuing the momentum from the third quarter. Need to stay on top of it.

Post #15 » by **SD2042** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 3:02 am

Might need to get the starters back out. Losing the lead and slacking on the defensive end.

Post #16 » by **SD2042** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 3:08 am

These Mavs won't go away. Grizz need to crank up the defense.

Post #17 » by **SD2042** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 3:13 am

Prince knocks down a well needed 3ball.

Big time finish at the end of this one. Gasol looks tremendous and Conley was special in this one as well - really hit almost everything he was given. Gasol, on the other hand, drew a lot of fouls and had a few tip ins.

Another Great Win, good to see that Marc Gasol would not let the last outing turn into a slump. T. Prince is becoming too valuable to move at the moment. Q-Pon on the other hand is lucky there is no market for him.

Missed Monta there at the end--but JJB was playing pretty well so I don't think him being able to play would have gotten us there.

Hard to beat such a good team with Dirk and Monta combining to go like 5-30 or whatever they did.

But even with that, we were killing it on 3 pointers making them at an unsustainable rate and we still couldn't hang with the Grizzlies.

Marc Gasol is a boss. Please lock him up for 5 years. He belongs in Memphis. I don't want to see him as a Knick or a Laker.

How can anyone not love Tony Allen? One of my favorite players in the Association. Would kill to have a guy like that for the Mavericks. Just goes so hard.

Great team you guys have. I'd love to see you guys make a move to add a scorer off the bench.
