[Baller 24]

Houston @ Dallas at 7 PM Thursday Night....

Houston Rockets Starting Lineup:


Rafer Alston


Tracy McGrady


Ron Artest


Luis Scola


Yao Ming



Dallas Mavricks Starting Lineup:




They used to be good right? what happened to them is what some people ask...lets get a brief history of each of the starters history...should clear up why the Mavs are breaking down!

Jason Kidd

Jason seems like a GREAT guy right? Wrong.

On January 9, 2007, Jason Kidd filed for divorce against his wife, citing "extreme cruelty" during their relationship. Kidd contended intense jealousy, paranoia, and the threat of "false domestic abuse claims" to the police as reasons for the divorce. On February 15, 2007 Joumana Kidd filed a counterclaim for divorce, claiming that the NBA star — among countless instances of abuse — "broke her rib and damaged her hearing by smashing her head into the console of a car".

Jason Terry


Do you think Jason Terry sucks? express your thoughts here at the Jason Terry sucks forum..

Josh Howard

Umm...

On April 25, 2008 before game 3 of his team's matchup with New Orleans in the playoffs, Howard publicly admitted to using marijuana during the NBA offseason. Howard said marijuana use is not uncommon among NBA players. Though he did not mention names, Howard said: "I think that everybody in the media world and in the sports world knows that NBA players do smoke marijuana."

Dirk

Dirk? well that MVP was given AFTER his 67 win team lost to a team that barely made the playoffs in the first round...I think that explains it


Eric Dampier

Thought he was the 2nd best center in the league..got his salad tossed by being benched...again if you want to show your expression of how much he sucks please don't hesitate and use the Eric Dampier sucks forum...http://www.talk-sports.net/nba/sucks.aspx/Erick_Dampier


Lets get our offensive scheme back in order and **** the mavs up!

Nice game thread !!!

Believe it or not but this is a statement game IMO... The Mavs believe they can win it all and Houston wants to prove they're the best team in Texas. I think we just took the Grizz too lightly as usual, but we know what Dallas is capable of so I think were going play much better !!

2-0 baby !!!

LETS GO ROCKETS !!!

I don't care if we go 5-77, as long as we beat the freaking Mavs every time we face them.

Well, actually I do care. But still, let's beat the Mavs.

[ShaY]

I hope we play better because if we don't we have no chance.

[Iggyemu]

Mavs have always given us trouble. But they are in a state of change much like we are. The last time we saw em we beat em pretty good but after seeing our offense tonight I just don't know if we are quite ready to beat a playoff team on their home court.

[RocketFan]

Yao looks very strange in that photo....

[kam_soluusar]

Yeah, we still owe them for beating us in a rigged series.

Speaking of which, didn't JVG say that there was something fishy about that series, and got fined for being "overly critical" of the reffing. I only ask, because I am interested to know if the NBA payed him back. (U know after the whole NBA ref's scandal.)

[aznkillabeezZz]

looking forward for Rafer to school wifebeater tomorrow. We should win this game, or its going to be a real close one. Its the first real test.

[Lebo13]

Lets Hope for some better offense tonight!!!

LETS GO ROCKETS!!!!!!

There was some site a while back that posted a long story about all that. Something to the tune of VG didn't really accuse the league of being rigged, but more he was complaining about the fact that the league changed up the way the series was officiated (obvious) after complaints by Cuban without informing him that there would be a change so he could adjust. Seems like they said the league remedied that issue over the last year, but didn't refund VG's money, since that would involve Stern admitting to doing something wrong or some whatnot like that, and also because Jeff worded his complaint rather badly (made it sound like a cheating scandal, especially to Houston fans).

Lol @ the Mavericks pics.

Let's put yesterday's game aside. We have to play better today. It's the Mavs home opener so you know the crowd is going to be in it. Our job is to spoil that. Lets go Rockets!

Nice gamethread

Hmm, got to execute better, take advantage of the mis-match, and not gamble as much defensively.

[Got em Coach]

[tha_rock220]

2 teams i absolutely cant stand

that dallas mavericks and utah jazz. i dont want to lose to them at all this season.

hopefully adelman makes the necessary defensive adjustment if terry starts to burn us as he usually does.

[MaxRider]

after last night game
i think it would be best for Scola and Artest coming off the bench
Scola is just not looking to score when he's playing with Yao and T-Mac
he's too good of an offensive player for not looking for his shots

[40Cal]

Any info if Shane will be playin 2nite?? Dat would help T-Mac alot.

[MaxRider]

Any info if Shane will be playin 2nite?? Dat would help T-Mac alot.

He's not even participate in full contact practice yet
Don't expect him to play before Nov 15

[Guy986]

If we play like we did last night. This is gonna be ugly...

[Iggyemu]

Any info if Shane will be playin 2nite?? Dat would help T-Mac alot.

Yea he is a ways off. Looking at the end of November for sure. Probably no later.

[ShaY]

Will the game be streamed on Sopcast?
