Mavs are favored to win this one by 7 points. We need this W tonight!

The other key game:

Milwaukee at San Antonio

No excuse tonight. Better handle business tonight.

who can explain to me why we have 4 losses at home and only 1 away loss so far? Does it have anything to do with inability of handling home crowd pressure?

I won't be surprised if we lose another game at home against a tough-minded team tonight.

Hope i am wrong. :oops:

All four games have been different. The Memphis game bothers because we allowed them to have too many free throw attempts. Denver made 13 3-pointers to our 4 and made 61.9% of them. Chicago dominated on us the boards and in the paint, but they still turned the ball over 16 times to our 8. Poor effort against Milwaukee after being up by 20 points, but they still dominated us inside the paint.

Memphis L 90-91
Denver L 92-103
Chicago L 83-88
Milwaukee L 99-103

We've been awful the past 9 quarters except for the first quarter against the bucks.

Dirks playing soft and too perimeter.

NO ONE is rebounding.

Chandler isn't having the same impact he was.

JJ is still terrible. Haywood is worthless.

This thing is sucking in a hurry. Dirk needs to do something about it fast.

Well, the Bucks put up a fight, but the Spurs ended up winning by 2 points.

LaMarcus Aldridge is getting Dwyane Wade treatment. Chandler and DIRK can't even touch him down there on the block. That's 3 fouls drawn in 2 minutes and DIRK and Chandler had their hands straight up in the air.

Dirks playing like a little bitch. Sit his ass down and put Marion in.

DIRK's worst game of the season by far.

Never though I would see the day when Butler actually plays well.

Has soon as they did we got more aggressive and took the ball to the rim and got the lead back up. He can stay there tonight as far as I'm concerned.

Be serious. DIRK always shows up in the 4th quarter.

DIRK needs to stop shooting 3s. This is getting embarrassing.

Dirk back in and the Blazers quickly go on a run after the Mavs just stand around shooting jumpers.

Well, I really don't understand RC's zone offense. DIRK should rotate from block to FT line as the ball swings. It's a pretty common zone offense. DIRK shouldn't be standing at the 3 point line.

DIRK isn't settling for jumpers now. He is looking to attack Cunningham and take him to the rim.
