    What's T-Mac doing on the bench, nursing his knees? :( :confused:

    THE FIRST 6 MINS OF THE 4TH WILL DICTATE THE RESULT IN MY OPINION WE HAVE TO PLAY GREAT TO KEEP THEM AT BAY BECAUSE THEY WILL FIGHT WITH CLAWS IN THIS LAST QUARTER.

    I think with no time left, Dirk knew he was gonna shoot it and Sura thought he might have the right hand covered (esp. w/no angle because of him being so close to the baseline with momentum).. so lefty flip was his decision. We woulda cheered it like crazy if it went down ;)

    Watch the game, we're not taking it to the rack and we're taking alot of jump shots. You don't get alot of free throws if you settle for jumpers, luckily we're making them right now.

    Geez, Sam, why don't you just go ahead and slit your wrists and be done with this nonsense?!?

    After the playoffs, of course. ;)

    He got an extra minute of rest from JVG because he'll be going strong throughout the fourth quarter.

    the knee packs are standard.... whatever they've been doing, keep doing it, cause its working.

    is there anything wrong with Tmac's knee? I saw the trainer looked at it. Compared with first 2 games, Tmac is taking some extra rest tonight.

    BTW, the audience sucks. Most of them are so quiet. In dallas, most fans were standing all night. Common, make some noise!

    I didn't see any bad calls in the 3rd... I saw the Rockets shooting 3's and the Mavs taking it to the hole. That's what you'll get (the FT difference)

    Barry's really shaking the sign tonight!

    Does anyone else feel like that despite us not playing "great" like we did in the first 2 games, we are still leading after 3 Qs?:confused:

    I think our passing was poor in the first half, and finally in the 3Q the ball movement started and we got easy shots as a result...oh, and Wesley is knocking down his shots for a change.

    Despite Yao and T-Mac not being too aggressive or dominating offensively, I think we are in decent shape now. Still, I would REALLY like for our two stars to take over offensively mid-way or so through the 4th. So lets watch for that.

    I don't think Dallas are playing "all out" as I expected, and that really doesn't say much about their "heart", if they have one that is:rolleyes:

    Anyways, let's close this one out guys, kill them while they are down. (Gosh I luv saying that):cool:

    We have no home court advantage! why do they get all the calls? especially after we beat them in the first 2 games.
