Game 25 December 15, 2010: Mavericks Vs. Blazers

[johnwall]

the play of barea and haywood are just unreal, they both suck and need to be out of here

Butler kept the Mavs up by a good margin in the 3rd, largely because he took the ball to the basket. More and more this season, I see Mavs secondary players (like Butler and Terry) taking the ball to the basket at points in the game when the outside shots don't seem to be falling. Good work from Butler in this one.

Jason Terry needs to attack the damn basket and stop settling for these 20 foot jumpers. At least DIRK is attempting to take his defender off the dribble.

[ahonui06]

DIRK taking over when the team needs him most. What's new.

[DDansby123]

Dirk's been terrible all game. It's about time he did something.

This is why DIRK is a superstar.

I agree with the conclusion, but not the reaasoning.

DIRK carrying the Mavs to victory yet again. Why doesn't this moron RC run the offense through DIRK all game?

Dirk was a beast in the 4th. Glad he had that kinda quarter after the first 3 quarters he had.


Hubbie Brown did the game in his Blazers Jersey.


Pick n Roll defense was awful tonight.

[DDansby123]

And I'm glad they showed the replay of the Aldridge putback dunk. Dirk didn't bother blocking him out, and it cost the Mavs 2 points. (As I type this, Dirk almost did it again on the inbound to Batum.) Dirk came back and hit the 2, which is great, but his defense is really bothering me. (And as I type this, Dirk plays poor defense again and leaves Batum open for 3.) Dirk MUST be better defensively. I love the guy, but it's getting annoying.

I love the guy more than you do, but you can't run the offense thru a guy standing in the corner. They way were playing right now I'll take the win.

Thank god Terry didn't end up on Miller in the 4th.

Aldridge was a beast tonight.

[dyukcs]

I love how he got aggressive after a bad start, he's normally a lot more passive about finding his shots. He has to carry some of the blame for Aldrige's 35 points though.

That's because RC has a stupid zone offense that puts 4 shooters on the perimeter and a defensive center in the middle. Mavs should play a high-low game to beat the zone.

Carlisle has some flaws, but the players like him. I've wanted him to play Roddy last year and Dojo and Mahinmi this year but he refuses.

What a game. Dirk and Aldridge made it fun. I like that RC pulled JJ earlier in the 4th. Even though he was the only Mav getting to the rim.

This whole year has been great to watch with Chandler. The guy is one of my favorite Mavs. I love his quotes after games. He talks defense and staying tough. Love it.

No.
