Pretty much how I looked at the end of that game. It felt like a morgue in the AAA.
If the Warriors were winning by shooting 3s and contested jump shots, I wouldn't be worried, but they are winning with a lot of easy baskets. That's troubling. It's game 3, and that stuff isn't supposed to happen. The mavs just can't stop penetration against them.
On the offensive end, I thought they played well in game 2. They attacked the basket A LOT. In game 3, nothing was open. They had to work for every point. That's troubling too.
Mavs have to beat GSW two times in a row at some point in this series. They haven't shown they can even beat the Warriors twice in the last two years. Against the Rockets, I still felt the Mavs could win 2 years ago. I don't really have the same feeling this year.
This hasn't been a good year for Dallas sports fans...

PG play...this is why they bitch and moan in the college game people!
Baron is just owning the Mavs backcourt
lol, I understand you may not like the road rims, but my gosh, the Ws count the same...Dallas has to up their intensity...give Avery a jersey

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
You can see "fear" in Cuban's eyes,dont look at the tongue,those eyes are crying out....
"Mavericks owner Mark Cuban sticks out his tongue as he looks at photographers as his team falls behind the Golden State Warriors during the second half of an NBA basketball Western Conference first-round playoff game"

Bring on Detroit! Miami is done.
Sigh..I knew the Raptors were in trouble after we lost at home because I very much doubt this teams ability to win on the road. But at the very least I expected them to put up some sort of fight. Other than Ford and sometimes Calderon and Parker no one has showed up for the playoffs
I don't know why Bosh has been such a non factor this series. I won't put it all on him because for the most part they've all been playing like crap, but he's getting manhandled by Mikki ****ing Moore..this ain't Rasheed Wallace. The next game being on a sunday will mean my week will either start out really great or really really awful.

Is that why the Spurs beat the Warriors three times by an average win margin of around 30 points, with two of those wins coming at the end of the season when the Ws were playing their best basketball and chasing the 8th seed?
It´s something called defense, which the Mavs have improved quite a bit, but are still nowhere near what the Spurs are capable of doing when they´re clicking.

the difference is that if the Warriors tried going to this small ball lineup against the spurs, San Antonio could make them pay by posting up Duncan at will. Who's going to guard them in GS's small lineup? Jackson? Barnes? Dallas' only 7 footer with offensive game is softer than a box of pillows and prefers to camp out on the perimeter even if he has a SF guarding him.

That could change in game 4 once avery's done kicking his ass in practice today..
I don't think i can even stand to watch game 4, even if they win and blow chicago out. it almost feels like a waste of my time, considering no team has ever come back from down 0-3..
Not as sad as if it was just us going out round 1.Branduil said:
Yup, I fully intend on going out in a blaze of sour grapes and misdirected vitriol if/when we inevitably bite the bullet. We can't go down alone. If the Mavs get wiped by the Warriors. it will just look like the once a millenium fluke that this ultimately is. PEACE.LOL! Cerrius is in counseling right now. This hasn't been easy on any of us. :lol But I'll admit that I was really brash two seasons ago, and we lost to Detroit. So it was kind of a fluke that I woofed the Heat through the playoffs last year and didn't jinx them. The law of averages says that after a championship, you need a first round ouster to balance the universe. Looks like that time is now.Branduil said:
But no point in running and hiding. How else can I be an ungraceful loser? 
PEACE.Tamanon said:It's just not a good playoffs for us Florida teams. At least the Mavs might take coverage off the Heat losing by doing something that almost never happens
And the last time it happened.....
Was to the Heat

The Florida Marlins have more championships than any pro miami team in the last decade. wtf. seriously though. This is worse than losing to detroit in game 7. I thought that heat team was the best I've ever seen (We zipped right through everyone till game 6 of ECF), but detroit was clearly pretty damn good too. I haven't accepted all season long that chicago was a good team. I mean, if chicago wins this series in 6 or 7, I'm not surprised cause their style of play is what we don't go well against, but to lose three in a row? I never thought it'd happen.

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
I tried to tell you Heat Fanboys that Chicago is too young for the Heat. They would push the ball up the floor and they have great D. You better blame your losses on the Nets because they didn't job to the Bulls in the last game of the season which made the Cavs the 2nd seed.
Wow. Mavs got their balls handed to them on a plate last night. The Mavs need to lose whatever mental block they have against GS and wake the **** up. Dirk needs to be more selfish and quit passing so much on the block. He has the size advantage, finish! That crowd was awesome too. Ugh, I don't even know if I can watch tomorrow's train wreck.
And Baron Davis is a BMF.
Now...
HOW 'BOUT THEM BULLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've found it amusing how the media up here went to town on VC's struggles in the first two games (and to be fair, he was shit), and stroked up Bosh's balls even though he was just as invisible in game one. Well VC went off like a mother****er while Bosh got his head squashed last night. I don't remember him doing ANYTHING of impact. But somehow I doubt anyone gets on Bosh for it. Which is why I despite the Raptors coverage in this town...it's so ridiculously bi-partisan it's sickening. Which is why rooting for VC and the Nets has been a pleasure so far.
Now I know how Incognito feels...
