LOL he's still mad!

 

LOL. Funniest statement ever.

 

Dirk losing it on the mic during his post game presser.

 

Good win! Wth is Dirk doing with the mic. This damn thing on? Nobody is listening to me!!

Positives - won with Harden not shooting too well, D12 in foul trouble

Negatives - Rondo looking like he can shoot - wth? Dirk looking like dirk of 5 years ago - flops and all. Also, late shot clock shots dropping from Ariza and Brewer - seen them miss lots of those

On to game 2!

 

Dirk so frustrated he drops the mic.

 

Dirk threw the mic down lol.

 

James played a really good game today was great on D except for the 1 play he didn't challenge Rondos layup. He was brilliant facilitating the offense.

Sooner or later it may not be this round but he will need to shoot at his season avg 45% and 37%. This 30% won't cut it.

 

I am on "tape delay" but watching now.

 

Hey Mr. Cuban, next time Dwight won't be in foul trouble and Harden will explode sooner than you think. This not a good team, played better than yours.

 

suprising to say this but mchale actually out coached carlisle

 

Few notes from someone stuck at a ****ing Chuck E. Cheese's for most of the game:

1) Dwight Howard has to be one of the dumbest players in the NBA. How do you get 5 fouls in 17 minutes in a critical playoff game? The guy has relied on his athleticism more than his brain his entire career and hasn't become any more intelligent throughout the years. He's a damn fool, but at least he's still pretty productive when he does play. 4 blocks in the first 5 minutes is nice.

2) PLAYOFF CAPELA! Props to McHale for permabenching garbage Dorsey and giving Capela a chance. And props to Morey for finding this guy late in the draft.

3) Great game by most the bench. Terry, Brewer, and Ariza went 9-13 from three combined.

4) Prigioni absolutely sucks. Played almost half the game and gave us nothing besides ball handling. Not sure why he wasn't in late in the game just to make free throws for us.

5) Harden once again didn't shoot well but 15-17 from the line will do. What happened to the narrative that he won't shoot any free throws in the playoffs?

6) We have a Dirk problem (what a shock - TJones can't contain his man in the playoffs). I don't see us winning in Dallas if we can't stop Dirk at home since he'll get more calls when we're on the road and we'll shoot less free throws total.

7) Gotta love that max level money Chandler Parsons - 10 points on 15 shot attempts... LOL

 

GAME 1
Terrence Jones: 19 pts.... 9 rebs... 6 ast... 0 turnovers
Dirk Nowitzki: 24 pts... 8 rebs... 2 ast... 6 turnovers

 

Lmao NBA tv laughing at dirk

 

Dirk better be on Shaqtin a fool for the mic issues.

 

Harden - "Be greedy."

 

Shut up, Rookie.

 

F the Mavs. Lol at Cuban.

 

I hope Johnson will get some burn against JJ and Harris. Slowing them down will make a difference. Go Houston Rockets!
