Mavs are currently 8th in the west. Mavs are 1-2 vs. Rockets Mavs went 2-2 vs. Spurs (Ginobili missed all but 1 game) Yet JJ Barea is calling out both teams and saying they're scared of the Mavs!! DMN Blog ESPN 103.3 Interview
LOL. Here's what he really meant "we really need to move up 1 spot so we can avoid getting swept by the lakers"
LOL nothing to be scared about anymore...just put the two headed monster of artest and battier to neutralize Dirk and its game over. Meanwhile, AB will run circles around Kidd while he is trying to thow alleyoops to Erik Dampier and Devin George. So in summary, yes we are extremely scared
I would lilke to see the Mavs and Rockets meet in the playoffs. It would be the 2004-2005 first round playoff series but with a role reversal. The Rockets would be the overwhelming favorite with the home court advantage. Despite the odds, the Mavs would win the first two games of the series and appear to be well on their way to a first round upset only to be screwed out of the series by consistently horrible calls in the Rockets favor and a few calls that can only be described as Donaughey-esque. Rick Carisle would even speak out regarding a conspiracy against Dirk Nowitski and ultimately receive a $100K fine and a threat of being banned from the NBA by Dictator Stern. In the end, the Rockets would prevail in a demoralizing beating of the Mavs in game 7 and with Dirk Nowitski saying "I'll have the last laugh" in the post game press conference.
The Rockets are scared of 2 teams. The Lakers and Jazz. Maybe the Spurs 3rd. If we had the choice of moving into 1st place so we could face Dallas in the first round, we would.
HAHAHAHAHAAHHA who is JJ Barbra anyway. lol. At least if it came from Dirk it would be from a good player.
This b*stard midget had one good game against us and all of the sudden he talks as if he himself can take the rockets in the playoffs. what with the mavs role players talking **** to the teams above them? first hollins taking on kobe and now this b**** talking about the spurs and rockets being scared of the mavs. I hope artest does to JJ UREA what kobe did to artest the last time the lakers were here. Considering he is such midget, i hope an artest forearm shiver sends UREA to 5th row. My most hated mavs: Jason Terry, josh howard, UREA and stackhouse. and YES I hate the mavs more than the jazz. That 40pt game 7 loss coupled with the last time Tmac was truly great still haunts me.
rofl if it wasn't for jj noob screwing around in the lineup, mavs could probably win a couple more games
Barea couldn't be more wrong. If anything, the Rockets should be hoping that somehow they get to play the Mavs. That would be the best possible first round opponent.
