I agree, the Mavs fan forum looks atrocious.

 

That's how you scrape & claw out a win.

 

Love this comment:

So happy about this one, we needed it too after blowing what should have been a win vs. the Lakers. Glad I was wrong, Mavs had a tough shooting night which I'd like to think our defense was a part of. We couldn't miss a three in the first half and that was just enough separation for us to sneak out a win at the end.

James Harden... wow. The man has literally single handedly won us a game for the third time already this season. He's shot over 50% the last couple of games so hopefully he is breaking out of his slump.

I told y'all regression would be a b**** with Ariza. Give him a few more games and his shooting should get better. His defense is so valuable it's hard to get too frustrated with him.

Boy, do we need Dwight and Terrence back though. Mavs were killing us with layups and dunks. Although DMo did play well tonight, he plays hard and I like that.

Kostas has gotta start making his layups man!

And I still have no clue why Canaan isn't playing over Garcia, but whatever. Hopefully once Terrence and Dwight gets back Kostas can play the 3 again and hopefully there'll be more time for Canaan.

 

Wow, so much Jason Terry hate from Mavs fans.

 

really ? even though most of the supporters bag the hell out of our own players and coach ?

 

He did that to himself when he started talking bad about Houston

 

They'd take him back in a quick second.

(See: Barea, J.J.; Chandler, Tyson)

Never seen such offensive ineptitude from a professional basketball team as I have from the Rockets over the past 5-6 games or so. A total turnaround from our start this season. All my expectations that I had after our first 8 games have been demolished. I hope Dwight and Jones coming back can fix this, but I don't think there is a quick fix. Our defense is keeping us competitve, but it is mind boggling how we go from playing our way to an 18 point lead against the Mavs to not scoring for over 6 minutes. Wide open 3's clanking, and then when we actually wise up and make a move toward the basket, our layups roll out. All that said, I am stoked we were able to pull out this hard fought win. Harden was clutch on BOTH ends of the court down the stretch.

 

Fans have the right to be frustrated at times. Stop pretending like we are all suppose be happy when our team is struggling at times.

 

Mavs fans salty as hell on the Dallas mavs forum:

Houston really isn't better than us from what I can tell. Parsons may be rattled versus his old team, but no way Dirk ever shoots that poorly again. Talk about an anomaly.

Parsons is right. In fact, the defensive intensity was higher last year. But it's better this year. Intensity doesn't mean good. Look up Carlos Boozer.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA, So much salt

 

i didn't hear any fans cheer. maybe there were a few 12yr old girls that got lost in the chorus of boos though

 

Anyone has the video?
