Dirk needs to be the best player in the series for us to win, and I think he has it in him.

X Factor is Marion. He has the task of containing James and/or Wade. We need him to score 15+ and stay outta foul trouble.

If DS comes out flat, Im hoping to see Brewer for a few minutes - his energy is what we could really need.

probably the best crew out there, hope im not eating these words later

Steve Javie is my favorite ref since he seems to be the most unbiased of all the officials. Hopefully he doesn't disappoint.

Spoilestra is feeding us a big bag of bullsh. He aint putting James on Barea. Not for more than a few minutes.

absolutely its a wise decision. That was a huge misstake by LAL.
Team doesnt need to care about oppo. players individual stats too much (especially of PG), if team is winning for his presence. That PG should be called rather as an Advantage.
However many NBA analysts are evaluating about players based only on indivudual stats.
They believe Mavs is winning while Barea is on the court because of his great individual stats.
I just hope Spoelstra make the same misstake. It would be a huge advatage for Mavs.

Too many mistakes. Decent D but just nervous on the offensive end.

Has Marion forgotten its the Finals??? Dive for loose balls you idiot.

Marion seems so nervous i cant even really explain. I like the like we are playing on the defensive end but our defense seems a bit like without any kind of motion.

Oh my... how I wish Dirk wouldnt always hand out those weak fouls. Whack the **** out of him or stay away. But don't give players +1s on such weak fouls...

We gotta get our act together offensively. There's just nothing at all going on so far except for Dirk.

Good, start hitting those three's and you guys are right back in this :clap:

Ice32 · Post #35 » by **Ice32** » Wed Jun 1, 2011 1:28 am

Peja/Terry on defense are pathetic

It has been a difficult game thus far offensively. Let's hope Marion wakes up and Dirk gets some more touches.

dirkules_41 · Post #37 » by **dirkules_41** » Wed Jun 1, 2011 1:29 am

Defense isn't an issue so far. It's offensive flow and rebounding that we're missing.

Ice32 · Post #38 » by **Ice32** » Wed Jun 1, 2011 1:30 am

I love how Marion misses a point blank shot, claps his hands, looks around before realising he needs to get back on defense.

Mavs gotta put DIRK at the top of the key.

ahonui06 · Post #40 » by **ahonui06** » Wed Jun 1, 2011 1:33 am

The Mavs chuck up way too many 3s. They have luckily lived by the 3 this postseason and haven't died yet.
