NY at Dal 7:30 01/05 Game Thread

[niko]

Knicks need this. Win this, go 2-1 on the Texas swing, and things look a lot different. There is a culture that is poisonous around the Knicks including the fans. A culture of blame, of negativity, that revels in the losing. Knicks are playing well. Nope, can't talk about that. Have to talk about JR. From the people outside, i get it because it's hilarious. From the Knick fan perspective, shouldn't we move past it? No, must bash, must blame, must pick at the negatives. The team too. Coach Woodson always looking for new scapegoats. The media, having a field day.

That can change with consistent winning. 2 of 3, 3 of 5. That can change with a game like tonight against a good team, but not an unbeatable one.

:cheers: Go Knicks!

BTW, a big FU to Bleacher Report for their article saying the Knicks need to stop leaking trade rumors. Um, ****tards - stop printing shit people are making up. It's not leaks, it's fan fiction, and you print it.

players like JR are the exact symptoms of the poisonous culture you speak off.

Knicks fans shouldn't get any grief, one of the most diehard and loyal fanbase around

[It's A VC3!!!]

knicks have surprisingly competed in the last two games but that's primarily because shumpert has had two career games in those games. he's playing off momentum right now because no way in hell shumpert is a 20 ppg player. anyways, this might be a close game but the mavs will prevail.

You really have no clue about anything. You talk about Shump in terms of points in his performance. And he's playing off momentum? From what? The entire season being awful? Is that a made up definition like dominate? (As In Brook Lopez will dominate).

Shoo..

Then he should sit. not be shot. Not be the subject of 10,000 word essays. That's ridiculous. People would rather wallow in that then watch today's game. It's silly. This is (in theory) supposed to be fun.

[Clutch]

It would be nice if we could finish this Texas road trip with a win.

[kurple]

this made me think about the nuggets - mavs 2nd round series in 09. man what a duell that was, between melo and dirk

[kurple]

i'm thinking monta will have a good game, if he doesnt settle for jumpers

[DirkNowitzki41]

big game for both teams

go mavs

Going of memory Shumpert probably had 55 or so points in his last two games. That's probably more points than he's had in the combined 20 or so games before that. His offensive spike in these last two games has really helped the Knicks out, especially with JR struggling. Anyways, can't wait for the Knicks to lose so I can come back in this thread and do a little dance. Hopefully Vince Carter can do well against the Knicks, he usually does.

[DirkNowitzki41]

crap. blair is starting. tyson may get 20 boards tonight

[kurple]

[It's A VC3!!!]

The Mavs are getting killed off the first pass and it's leading to easy interior baskets by the Knicks. Then on offense everything is a forced late shot clock shot.

[kurple]

why is the mavs playing their offense trough marion??

and vc looks slow as hell

[Clutch]

C'mon Melo,you gotta finish that.

[DirkNowitzki41]

wow :facepalm

too much jumpshots

[It's A VC3!!!]

wow :facepalm

too much jumpshots
I know right. why the hell are the mavericks chucking jump shots with tyson chandler out? not being aggressive at all on either end of the floor.

[DMAVS41]

Went to the game on Friday...we just don't have the same energy I saw earlier this year defensively.

And it's really troubling...teams score too easily on us and it seems to wear us down over the course of a game.

[DirkNowitzki41]

Mavs shooting a lot of tough shots early in the shot clock.

[It's A VC3!!!]

i don't watch much of the mavs but why the **** is larkin shooting so much? the guy seems like a damn scrub yet he's shooting like he's kobe.

[Blue&Orange]

K-mart is absolute trash, i cringe every time i see him in the court.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Dirk needs to touch the ball a bit more right now. The main problem is on defense for the Mavericks though. They are not defending the interior and it's making their offense more difficult. I don't want to see Larscrub shoot any more either.

[kurple]

lol why are the mavs only shooting jumpers?

[DirkNowitzki41]

lol why are the mavs only shooting jumpers?

Amare and Andrea are too intimidating down low

[DirkNowitzki41]

I really wish we trade carter to a contender. good for both sides

[It's A VC3!!!]

Wow, Mavs are missing everything. No threes made right now and that's because none of those threes have been anything remotely close to good shots, especially Vince's shot. Down by 16 to the third worst team in the league.

[DirkNowitzki41]

wow. even our FTs arent dropping.

[WhySoInsecure?]

What happened to Chandler?

[DirkNowitzki41]

What happened to Chandler?

upper respiratory problem. out for game

[Clutch]

What happened to Chandler?
Tyson "Flu-like symptoms" Chandler

[DirkNowitzki41]

dirk missed 4 fts :eek:

[Clutch]

Hack-a-Dirk :roll: :roll: :roll:

[It's A VC3!!!]

dirk and vince missed a combined 7 free throws. this would be a 10 point game had they made their free throws like they are accustomed to making.

[niko]

Yes, they always shoot 100% in free throws every game. Vince Carter especially, 100% all the time.

Will you stop posting stupid shit? Is this your new shtick, Knick troll because you are aware the Nets are just awaiting their next reason to start quitting?

[niko]

The Mavs are an ok team, not a great team. If you look, they've been relying a lot of Monta Ellis being super efficient, and a lot of good shooting from the role players. That they'd have an off night is not exactly shocking.

I also don't get the shock the Knicks are playing better, we won 54 games last year. We shouldn't lose every night.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Will you stop posting stupid shit? Is this your new shtick, Knick troll because you are aware the Nets are just awaiting their next reason to start quitting?

you are the biggest nets troll in forum history. i do this for one game and it's my new plan? out of 100 things said about the nets by you, literally 2 have been something good about them and 998 bad nit-picking agenda statements about them.

[kurple]

mavs ****ing suck

and lol at dirk yelling at calderon (?)

[Clutch]

120 year-old K-Mart stylin' on Mavs :roll: :roll: :roll:

[kurple]

i never got the kmart hate. kinda miss him

[DirkNowitzki41]

i cant believe we are losing to the new york knicks by 20.

the new york knicks...

[Ai2death]

MELO with the D

[It's A VC3!!!]

can the mavs drive to the damn basket rather than chucking shots

[imdaman99]

Woodson needs to get JR the hell off the floor.
I swear this guy has been given the green light to do whatever the fck he wants.

Potatohead, you are a horrible coach.

[It's A VC3!!!]

monta ellisa has been complete utter trash this entire game. no defense and offense has cost the mavs the game.

[DirkNowitzki41]

wow. whats the point of getting a 2 for 1, if the first shot is absolutely terrible?

[Fudge]

:roll: Blair

[imdaman99]

Melo great 1st quarter and hes been ass since.

[Fudge]

Who was that Knick player that got his shit stuffed? That n!ggas confidence is fully shot now. :oldlol:

[Clutch]

Vince Carter amped up like his team is up 10,not down by 10 :facepalm

[DirkNowitzki41]

why is dalembert not playing?

He is our only center. :no:

[niko]

Vince Carter amped up like his team is up 10,not down by 10 :facepalm
VC is a waste. If he was focused all the time he'd be an all time great player with rings all over. Instead he's a compiler.

[DirkNowitzki41]

that is not a shooting foul :oldlol:

[It's A VC3!!!]

i ****ing hate larkin. he's getting killed by murray and sucking on offense too. biggest damn scrub in the league.

[It's A VC3!!!]

The Mavs had brought it to 6. Here's the sequences after that. Larkin has literally allowed the Knicks to balloon the lead back to 13. How did this ugly ass scrub ever get a job in this league. No offense and no defense. Holy ****, I actually get furious just watching him play....

Yes, Larkin. Not the Knicks defense or anything. I can see why the other Net fans hate you lately, you're just full of it. You pick one thing and ignore literally every other thing on the court, like nothing else matters. Like it's in a vacuum. Blair's bad shot, VC not even trying to defend, Hardaway pushing, none of that occured. just Larkin.

Larkin wasn't even in the game.

[It's A VC3!!!]

alright, mavs lost this game. knicks actually playing very good in this new year. same like the nets. it'll be good to see how long both teams can sustain this new found energy.

[Fudge]

Why don't they feed Dirk more? Instead of chucking up contested 3's...

[It's A VC3!!!]

Larkin wasn't even in the game.
Meckel meant to say.

vc is actually defending JR pretty well. forced him into some difficult shots.

[imdaman99]

I love this coaching. Timmy Hardaway Jr hits a 3 and then Woodson takes him out, leaves JR on the floor :bowdown:

[niko]

Nice play by Calderon, wrong sport, but nice play.

[niko]

I love this coaching. Timmy Hardaway Jr hits a 3 and then Woodson takes him out, leaves JR on the floor :bowdown:
Hardaway doesn't defend as well as JR. I get JR is a bonehead, but Hardaway needs to defend better before he should be out there end of game.

[WhySoInsecure?]

Hardaway doesn't defend as well as JR. I get JR is a bonehead, but Hardaway needs to defend better before he should be out there end of game.
JR has been awful on defense today (and most of the season)

[Fudge]

JR untying Marions shoes. :roll: :roll: Anybody catch this?

[Fudge]

I think its time to shave and get a haircut, Amare. Maybe lose the goggles too. I think that's what's holding you back.

[It's A VC3!!!]

damn vince, do you know what the hell a big shot is? that shot would've been the biggest of the game yet you miss.

[niko]

JR has been awful on defense today (and most of the season)
Hardaway isn't at the point I want him in there up 10 with 5 minutes left. Shump would be nice. Amare knowing where he is under the basket would be nice too.

[It's A VC3!!!]

good thing i don't watch a lot of maverick game because ellis would infuriate me.

[niko]

Do we need to start the offense at 7 every time?

[DirkNowitzki41]

good thing i don't watch a lot of maverick game because ellis would infuriate me.

ellis was amazing early in the season, and even recently he was good. but the past few games have been frustrating.

just a stupid shot

[imdaman99]

Hardaway isn't at the point I want him in there up 10 with 5 minutes left. Shump would be nice. Amare knowing where he is under the basket would be nice too.
Why do you trust JR so much down the stretch? Last year he was pretty good, but he's been so bad this year. Plays bad D, takes dumb shots. Compounded by Woodson calling timeout, to set up the worst offensive play of the game.
Woodson + JR would be tanking paradise. But they don't have their pick. I'd rather trust Hardaway going forward. But I ain't gonna get that, Woodson hates the rook.

[It's A VC3!!!]

ellis was amazing early in the season, and even recently he was good. but the past few games have been frustrating.

just a stupid shot
i know he started the season on a tear but like you said, last few games he's just went back to his bad shooting habits and tonight he's just been awful, but literally every mavs player has.

[imdaman99]

good thing i don't watch a lot of maverick game because ellis would infuriate me.
I think watching Nets games would infuriate me more :roll:

[imdaman99]

Shump loves Texas :rockon:

[Clutch]

Shump playing great on this Texas road trip :bowdown:

[Sarcastic]

Shumpert with the dagger

[DirkNowitzki41]

mavs cant be losing to shitty teams like the knicks. I know that first half was just terrible with everything missing, but still. :facepalm

[niko]

Stop fouling, let the ****ing game end.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Good job Knicks. They have been playing very well in this new year. Mavericks on the other hand have suffered bad back-to-back losses but the good thing is that the Mavs are not in danger of losing their 8th seed.

[It's A VC3!!!]

I think watching Nets games would infuriate me more :roll:
It infuriates me a lot, trust me.:lol
Hopefully the Nets can get on a nice little win streak to make me happier though.

[niko]

Told ya, everyone needed to calm down. We got this.

See ya next time.

[Scoooter]

2 and 2 and the trip, not bad. The Knicks are now officially "limping along".

[Blue&Orange]

mavs cant be losing to shitty teams like the knicks. I know that first half was just terrible with everything missing, but still. :facepalm
More like Knicks finally stopped losing to shitty teams like the mavs.

[ClutchOver9000]

Texas brings out the best in Shump. Dude did work on this trip :rockon:

[imdaman99]

mavs cant be losing to shitty teams like the knicks. I know that first half was just terrible with everything missing, but still. :facepalm
Knicks are not a shitty team, they are a good team off to a shitty start. You want proof? Spurs don't lose to shitty teams, and they lost to the Knicks. Knicks are capable of games like tonight, just need to get that consistency.

I don't care what seed they get in as, 8th for all I care (to become sacrificial lamb 1st round probably), as long as they get in.

[bluechox2]

JR tried his best to lose this game...

[Draz]

Looks like this New Years is better ball for the Knicks.

[iDunk]

Somebody seriously needs to look into JR Smith point shaving.

[Scoooter]

lol

[Element]

Lol @ Melo trying to get calls like hes Harden in the 3rd

Nikka should at least snap his head back

[Sarcastic]

JR Smith with his smartest play ever
