Mr Nice Guy helps Dirk to the floor

[Kiddlovesnets]

Kidd needs to step up and stop CP3 again if the Mavs want to win this one.

Mr Nice Guy helps Dirk to the floor
lmao cp3 makes dirk look like his bittcchh

[baseketball4life]

Chandler's offensive game other than oops is hideous, threw up a ugly ass brick

[kentatm]

what the hell was West just thinking

[juju151111]

what the hell was West just thinking
yeah we need him this gm he better keep his composure

[shaoyut]

thisi s a close ball game

[ALBballer]

About time Terry is starting.

[konex]

Maybe Bass should be starting...

[indy]

What is dirk and these airball jumpers?The more he attacks the basket ,the more his jumpers gets crappy

[Killer_Instinct]

JT going off....

[shaoyut]

wow jason terry is doing good

[konex]

Kidd is beyond terrible..

[Hawker]

Kidd is beyond terrible..

Ya, you're right. :rolleyes:

[baseketball4life]

Dallas looking good again, they are over-conscious of CP3, but that is a good thing

[juju151111]

why dont the honets get this?? dont help off terry.let howard prove he can make a shot

[kentatm]

is Avery TRYING to get fired? why in the hell is JJB in?

[Hawker]

Barea and Co. sux

[juju151111]

finally we get some rebounds.

[indy]

dirk needs to shoot it.

[konex]

Terry and Howard can't be out of the game at the same time. No one else is a threat to drive..

[bigwebb5000]

i'm glad hornets were able to go on a strong run to tie it up. hornets need to wake up and play tougher. i don't know why our centers both insist on getting in foul trouble early.

[Killer_Instinct]

Pargo is carrying this team now.

[baseketball4life]

i really like this kid Bass, pogo stick type hops

[indy]

avery is one of the worst coach of this playoffs.

[leopoldstotch]

i'm just saying. knowing probably 25 of 30 nba teams want dirk, what would it take dallas to trade dirk for a quality point/shooting guard, and shift brandon bass to the starting power forward position? i would love to see bass get 30 to 35 minutes a game.

[juju151111]

pejaaaaaaa letsssssss goooo

[konex]

Howard stinks

[indy]

lol .Bass gets his points against Armstrong who is physically much smaller than him. That was also the story in game 2 because Chandler was in foul trouble.
Josh Howard is the best player for the Hornets there.

[ALBballer]

Howard does suck and he's getting outplayed by Stoyokovic.

Ouch.

[indy]

dark just shoot it :banghead:

[juju151111]

fing flopper

[indy]

:roll: howard is just ballhogging right there

[leopoldstotch]

howard must be thinking about his joint he left on top of his locker shelf ...........

[juju151111]

who so terry trying to pull a dirk?lol i guest he not has good of a actor like dirk

[shaoyut]

48-44 to the hornets at the half

[shaoyut]

howard must be thinking about his joint he left on top of his locker shelf ...........
its that stuff he smokes

[gyu]

Josh Howard just plain sucks. *SMH*

[slaman]

Josh Howard plays some strange defense
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDTsECHcCnM
Instead of going for the ball, Josh Howard goes for, well...just watch.

[macatak911]

It really is amazing what the Hornets can do when the refs don't call every litle ticky tack thing on them.

[kentatm]

whats amazing is Avery thought putting JJ Barea (who hasnt played in two months) and Stackhouse (who admits his hammy is bad and has been putrid) in at the same time was a good idea.

The dude astonishes with his stupidity.

[indy]

what's dirks problem?
shoot the damn ball

[gyu]

LOL after punching peja in the balls now howard kicks chandler in the balls.

[konex]

Hey Avery, Damp can't check West. Okthxbye..

[indy]

avery :roll: ridicoulus .Dmap can't guard west

[kentatm]

Avery makes me pine for Mike D'Antonis coaching acumen

[DuMa]

mavs just dirty players overall.... they flop and go for low blows. embarrassing

[juju151111]

Dirk can't D west from the FT line either.He too quicck for dirk.Remember in gm3 west wasn't agressive and he was missing wiiiide open jumpers.Today he hitting them.It's that simple actually.

[indy]

west isn't that talented. Good player but not great

[ALBballer]

Mavs need to run the offense through Dirk.

[juju151111]

west isn't that talented. Good player but not great
I have wathc him all year and he has gooten alot better.His show is water, but he still needs to improve his defense alot.

[indy]

dirk is a choker .There is no explanation .How on earth you let Howard and Bass shot these idiotic shots and watch there? I can't believe it. He is like their 5th option there

[ALBballer]

dirk is a choker .There is no explanation .How on earth you let Howard shot these idiotic shots and watch there?
Be agressive .

This ain't NBA 2k9, dirk can't make howard pass the ball.

[kentatm]

Stackhouse back in. watch NOs lead grow

[juju151111]

why does dirk have to fall so far back.He got foul before he shot it.

[steve]

Well, there's Dirk getting bullied by Paul again.

[kentatm]

Terry seems to be the only one that understands they need to drive to the damn hoop

[indy]

why does dirk have to fall so far back.He got foul before he shot it.
because he fade-aways.

[Younggrease]

This is the perfect example for why CP3 should not be on Team USA.

[Remix]

AIR BALL by west.

[kentatm]

Stack STOP SHOOTING JUMPERS!

[indy]

stack is so useless

WTF Josh Howard?

[Remix]

Wow Dirk just made a huge leaner 3.

[Denali]

wtf was Skirt just attempting to do?

[indy]

nowitzki is playing awasome defense right now. But he should have scored in the last possesison.

[juju151111]

west bites on his humpers wayyy too much.

[slaman]

Josh Howard plays some strange defense 2.0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1CmgqfBSPU
Josh Howard continues to stealthfully ping the jewels of his opponents.

[baseketball4life]

on that pull up three by dirk, you could so tell he wanted it even when it got covered he forced and drained it

[Allstar24]

Dirk is carrying this team (and covering up for Howard) again. NO is still gonna win this game.

[indy]

george what an idiot. Giving free throws

[juju151111]

Dirk Floped

[indy]

Chris Paul is ahorrible defender. J. Terry is eating him

[ALBballer]

I would go pick and roll with Terry and Dirk.

[RandomBalla55]

Utoh..

CP3 rolled ankle.

[indy]

dallas stopped their rally by giving free throws

[Coolaak]

hopefully its not to bad...

[indy]

knowing Avery ,he will start stack,howard,jones and bench dirk in the fourth quarter .

[juju151111]

Chris Paul is ahorrible defender. J. Terry is eating him
LOL he is going under the pick and someone surpiose to pick up terry, but noone does.He gets to the line easy.

[kentatm]

no, i bet its

George
Stack
JHo
Malik Allen
Bass

[juju151111]

hopefully its not to bad...
He can play off today, but it will swell after the gm.That always happens.I hate sprains man.

[konex]

lmao Kidd doesn't wanna shoot

[ALBballer]

Dirk needs to be aggressive right now. Can't let Stackhouse and Howard shoot you out of this game.

[indy]

dallas is freezing out Dirk in the offense :roll:

[~LA's fine$t~]

That Kidd trade is sure paying dividends.
My sentiment is pretty much complete now, Kidd is one of the most overrated players in league history.

[Hawker]

Josh Howard is just playing terrible tonight...Reason why we are losing.

[indy]

dallas is losing it

[dnyk1337]

It's kind of sad seeing Kidd like this. He can't handle the speedy players anymore.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

geezz. are the Mavs really going out like this?

[juju151111]

That Kidd trade is sure paying dividends.
My sentiment is pretty much complete now, Kidd is one of the most overrated players in league history.
he is like 36 wayy pass his prime.

[Younggrease]

The Mavs just arent a very good team, that Kidd trade was horrible for them. They are old and have no shooters to space for Dirk. This isnt Dirk's fault, these guys around him suck.

[ALBballer]

Jason Kidd should be traded next year for Charlie Bell and Micheal Redd.

[Denali]

http://sportswrap.berecruited.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/fulljgetty73920296rw070_warriors_ma.jpg

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

Jason Terry has been carrying his weight.
Dirk has been doing his thing.
...that leaves....Josh Howard and Kidd.

[ALBballer]

I still can't find Josh howard:

http://www2.worldvillage.com/wv/school/images/scrnshot/waldo6.gif

[Allstar24]

Jason Kidd is completely useless right now. He won't take open shots, he has only 2 assists...why is he on the floor? Dallas messed up big time with this trade.

[Laker4Lyfe]

Josh Howard is just playing terrible tonight...Reason why we are losing.

Why in the world does Avery leave him in?

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

Jason Kidd should be traded next year for Charlie Bell and Micheal Redd.

dont think the Bucks are THAT stupid.

[DuMa]

josh howard sure aint the same since he stopped smoking weed during games

[RandomBalla55]

Wright having a breakout party..

[ALBballer]

dont think the Bucks are THAT stupid.

Kidd is an expirer.........

[baseketball4life]

Julian Wright providing a nice spark for NOH

[ALBballer]

Holy ****.......

[baseketball4life]

that should be a suspension, Kidd pulled him by his neck

[Allstar24]

Kidd deserved to get ejected.

[Remix]

Jason...

[Denali]

oh boy

suspension on the way

[konex]

Damn Kidd could have cracked his skull open :roll:

[KeylessEntry]

Damn that was some kind of takedown

[DatZNasty]

Going back to the first half before I left and the Mavs were up 7 and Jose Barea came in, I said to myself this is going to be the point from which everything goes downhill. I know it's unfair to him, because he didn't particularly cause it. He had a possession where he overdribbled and gave the ball to Stack with only time enough to force up a hail mary, and Pargo scored like all their points in that run but most of them were with George on him or in transition, but still, it just felt like a move that would lose the game.

And Julian Wright is still my favorite player. I think he's getting avy time. :lol Anybody see TyLue in the suit watching the replay on the jumbo tron and nod his head and say something like, "yea, that's a good call on that."

Speaking of which, why are TyLue and Antoine Wright in suits anyways?

And shame on Mavs fans for booing Josh Howard

[DuMa]

wow pargo is lucky he was able to land with those hands.

[kingsfan]

That trade looks great now.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

Kidd is an expirer.........

oh.
do the Bucks wanna give up on Redd so bad that they trade him for an expirer?

[RandomBalla55]

That was pretty vicious man.. wtf.

[juju151111]

If pargo held the ball in his hands his skull would be ripped open.

[Kingwillball]

The Kidd deal has proved to be fruitless for the Mavs. The Nets if they draft well will rape the Mavs for all intents and purposes.

[baseketball4life]

ouch Jho and Kidd blew ass today

[ALBballer]

oh.
do the Mavs wanna give up on Redd so bad that they trade him for an expirer?

Who knows? But a 19 million dollar expiring contract should be enough to land them a legit number 2 option.

[Gevz2kX]

the Kidd and Shaq trades are busts, the Gasol and Garnett trades are not.

[RandomBalla55]

JHo can't do ANYTHING right now.

[DuMa]

mavs owned again in the first round

[Allstar24]

LOL @ Cuban's expression :roll:

[Laker4Lyfe]

JHo can't do ANYTHING right now.

Doesn't Avery have anyone else he can put in?

[Younggrease]

Maybe Dirk did deserve the MVP last year....he got these bums to 67 Wins with Avery as head coach!!!

His supporting cast is way worst then CP3s, Kobe's, Garnett's, Deron's and he got them to 67 wins...

[juju151111]

clean strip while dirk fflops.

[mjbulls23]

:banghead: :banghead: at these shooting percentages for the series so far

Josh Howard = 15/57= 26% FG
Jerry Stackhouse = 7/26= 27% FG

[juju151111]

Maybe Dirk did deserve the MVP last year....he got these bums to 67 Wins with Avery as head coach!!!
haaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaaa LMAO

[DatZNasty]

Doesn't Avery have anyone else he can put in?
Tyronn Lue and Antoine Wright, both of whom I see in nice suits, would look nice right now in there. Hell at this point I wouldn't even mind Jamal Magloire's bum ass, who I haven't seen but I assume also has on some kind of suit. Eddie Jones? Jose Barea? Yea, we're not going to win.

[RandomBalla55]

Cubes truly has a WTF look on his face right now.

Dirk is the only guy who can score on Dallas..

[Denali]

It's official. The transformation is complete. We are now looking at the Dallas Maveriques.

[Durantula]

I feel bad for Cuban, he's a great owner, but I think this series has shown what a blunder the Kidd trade was. Harris would have done much Much better on Paul. Harris could have made Paul work on D too cuz he's so fast. Not to mention losing a good defensive big and a pick too, I think. Ouch.

[dnyk1337]

Wow@the Paul walk.

[ALBballer]

**** the Mavericks. Team is filled with a bunch of *******.

[Lebron23]

Hornets will probably end the series in Game 5.

[baseketball4life]

R.I.P Dallas

[IBLEEDGREEN20]

chris pauls amazing....

[SoCalMike]

Hornets will probably end the series in Game 5.

Way to go out on a limb... :oldlol:




:pimp:

[Howard Schits]

Avery got to go. Small ball don't win big game.

[Silverbullit]

Josh Howard again 3-16, Kidd 1-6, Stackhouse 1-5....crap!

[BryantGasol89]

See you next season Dallas.

[Laker4Lyfe]

Why are the fans mad at Cuban? He's a pretty good owner, and you KNOW that he would do anything to help his team win.

He should take away some of that fancy stuff in the locker room (do they still have all that?).

Do you guys think it's safe to say that Howard wont be in a Mavs uniform next season?

Tough loss. :(

[yobore]

what was up w/ that fan

[jody]

clearly the kidd trade was a bust. at least the mavericks tried.

dampier sucks and offers nothing. the mavericks have to get rid of this guy.

[shaoyut]

hornets have won this game and the series

He shot 15-58 this series, thats 0.259% :banghead:

Play Jose Barea in the next game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly Barea is the only player in the NBA i've said to myself "I think I'm better"

Jason Kidd causes the most dangerous plays in the post-season to date. Kidd was (rightfully) ejected with a flagrant (2).

[Gundress]

West traded is curse when they got Iverson, Shaq and Kidd. The only reason why they traded was because of Lakers got Pau Gasol and they're fearing Lakers.

Imo, Suns traded was much better than Mavs and Shaq was doing a better than job than Kidd was on Mavs.

Iverson was in Denver last season.:confusedshrug:

oh man. they have to pay dampier 9 million next year.

i think people are really overlooking how much this guy sucks. i mean he does nothing.

[DatZNasty]

Honestly Barea is the only player in the NBA i've said to myself "I think I'm better"
his jumpshot is wet though, I don't know. Now a Kevin Ollie, Michael Wilks, current Eric Snow, I'm right there with you.

Oh yeah, thats right....my bad

[leopoldstotch]

ok let's go back in time in dallas before the kidd trade, and the whole fiasco.

let's just say instead of trading away devin harris and some for kidd and some ..... dallas agrees to trade away dirk and crew for vince carter and crew. do you think new jersey would want to pull that trigger, especially since carter looked like he wanted out of new jersey? then the mavs would have vince, devin harris, howard, and bass as their base starting lineup.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Can't believe it's all over, poor Kidd. Good luck to Hornets and hopefully they will sweep the Spurs...

[Silverbullit]

I hope Dirk demands a trade. I want to see him on a team he deserves!

[Kiddlovesnets]

I hope Dirk demands a trade. I want to see him in a team he deserves!

The 2006-2007 Mavs are definitely the team he deserved but he led that team to a 2-4 upset over the Warriors...

[amfirst]

Lakers will take Dirk, that would complete our international team, well get him the ring he deserves. If u can't beat them y not join them.

[amfirst]

Can't believe it's all over, poor Kidd. Good luck to Hornets and hopefully they will sweep the Spurs...

Hornets will not sweep the Spurs. They run a similar offense to the Suns, which the Spurs are good at defending, especially a dominant ball handling point guard system.

That is one end of the floor. They have a similar structure on offense, but they don't push like the Suns. Most of their offense comes in the halfcourt. And they are much more reliable defensively. I think they can stretch the Spurs series to 6 or 7 but the Spurs are too good.

[nashisbest]

i was hoping the mavs can handle spurs. but doesnt seem like NO has an answer for duncan

[Showtime]

i was hoping the mavs can handle spurs. but doesnt seem like NO has an answer for duncan
Plus NO has not inside post presence. They don't have a Gasol or Duncan type player that can demand a double on the block, and you can see when Paul is denied penetration how much not having that post presence limits them. They turn into a jump shooting team which can easily be beaten.

[applejoe]

***** Foul from Jason Kidd. That is one of the dirtiest play in the playoffs.

Too bad that wasn't on Paul, then he'd find out how soft the Mavs really are

[Heretik32]

***** Foul from Jason Kidd. That is one of the dirtiest play in the playoffs.

Kidd just lost a TON of respect with me. What a cheap-ass foul, and ****ing dangerous to boot.

[bence23]

he must have thought it was joumana

[Heretik32]

Seriously, that **** about him beating his wife was bad enough. Visit some anger management course, Kidd.

[Brunch@Five]

Howard, Terry, Kidd, Stack and George combined for 13-49 from the field :wtf:

[picc84]

Jason kidd must have confused pargo with his wife.

[Kujo]

I've never seen Josh Howard play this bad. His mid range game is usually money. I think making those stupid comments about weed use might be affect his game.

Is there any doubt D. Harris would have been able to do a pretty job defending Paul? I'm not saying enough to make a huge difference in the series, but it would have definitely helped.

Avery Johnson needs to go. Mavs need a change in direction.

[ukplayer4]

seriously you guys thought that kidd foul was that bad? flagerant foul 2 and ejection? i thought it was nothing more than a hard foul, that sent pargo down, i only saw 1 angle but from what i saw he went for the ball and got arm but still he finished with the ball....to me that is just typical of what the nba has become these days, it was a hard foul sure but ejection?

[juju151111]

LOl the angle u saw must be stupid because he pulled him down from the neck.

[picc84]

If Kidd was even the slightest bit of a scoring threat, this series could be going differently.

Sometimes I wonder why the hell he's even out there. If you're gonna run isolations you may as well put Lue on the court. At least he can catch and shoot a jumper.

[ErhnamDjinn]

Kidd just lost a TON of respect with me. What a cheap-ass foul, and ****ing dangerous to boot.
Yup I agree that was really uncharacteristic of him he had the chance to let go of pargo's head but didnt, he must really be getting fustrated. :cry:

Except West has done a very good job against Duncan this season. Popovich has already said in games this season that West was the killer. He'll probably tell his guys to try to get West in foul trouble to get him out of games.
