sure, if we are blowing them out they'll put the starters on the pine. i would love to get them to quit early so we could rest our guys as well. damn i can't wait, this sucks.
They should, but probably won't. From what I saw their game on monday, they looked very tired. They had a good run recently, but it seems they have peaked already. I think the rockets have a good chance to win tonight.
I don't think they rest and they'll try to win. But, I don't seem them trying as hard as the Rockets. Mavs gain a bit by winning. We gain a whole lot by winning.
The Mavs fans I hear from say they want no part of Denver, and will try to win to avoid that mathup, apparently Denver swept em. DD
I wasn't talking about us "blowing them out", I was talking about this being a slugfest and the Dallas coaches thinking "who needs this right now?". It seems plausible to me.
There is no way Dallas rests their starters. If they win: - they most likely avoid a potential match-up with the Nuggets, who swept them this year - they could possibly match-up with the Spurs, who nobody is scared of since Ginobili is out - they are at home, and fans who paid money to see the game would be pissed if the stars didn't play (much like LA last night) - they hate us, and would love nothing more than screw up our dreams of avoiding the Lakers until the WCF - they're the Mavpricks....since when do they do anything to help Houston?
I think they can not afford resting somebody and beaten by us in a Home game let's help them by tagging everybody with two fouls in two minutes though
The Mavs will come at us hard all night as long as it is close. I don't see them resting their starters until the game is completely out of reach.
I sure hope so. I'm in my fantasy bball league final and my opponent has both Dirk and Terry on his team.
Houston wasn't trying to avoid Utah, a couple of fans on a message board wanted Houston to avoid Utah. Big difference.
