After Craw started off 3-3, he's given us nothing tonight...

Crawful is garbage. When are people going to realize that?

Never.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Dirk has really taken over the game. Who will for us?

Since the second quarter they have slowly gotten closer and closer to us. We should've won in regulation. Now its an 8 o run, terrible way to start over time when you've had problems stopping the other team.

Cant come back if you keep allowing them to answer your points

It's easy to do that when...

*You can take 5 or 6 steps after you stop dribbling.
*You get sent to the line even when you're barely touched.
*You're allowed to smash into the opposing players and not get called for fouls.


......had this ref crew called the NBA finals against the Heat the Mavs would have been champs.

Now Craw decides to take it to the rim......and misses. Where was that throughout the game Jamal??? Either Howard or Terry right up on him TAKING AWAY HIS JUMPER yet he he kept forcing it. Jesus Christ, the boy just DOES NOT like taking the ball to rim... Tough to get on him because he's been red hot lately but he really played poorly tonight...

Does Nate always take the shot at the end to pad his stats or to make the score look better? I can't tell.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

LMAO

0-13FG to end the game.
Mavs: 19-2 run.

bah.... reality check I guess?
We battled until about 2 minutes to go in the game. We were toast physically.
So...if that's our excuse why wasn't Dallas tired?

bleh....

Some seriously BS reffing in this game. I hope D'Antoni complains or something.
Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?

This is a classic case of us being out-manned. Aswell as we have played thus far, and as good a job as D'Antoni has done with what he has, we just dont have the horses to beat the really talented teams. This was also an example of what an allstar can do for your team. Dirk won it down the stretch.

This was a poorly officiated game (both ways) but wow, we let this one slip away. 15 in the first half, 9 late in the 4th. We really need to learn how to "close the deal". We blow leads WAY to often. 0 for 13 to end the game is not going to get it done.

This is still the same team that wins 23-33 games a year, I'm not surprised one bit about this loss.

Ahhh this one really, really hurts a LOT. WE HAD this game. Had control of it! And we just let them back in the game. This is the Thunder game only that the Mavs have Dirk, who is still a superstar like it or not, and is clearly the best player in the game.

Horrible. Simply horrible.

We should be 7-3 now. Instead we go 6-4 into the Boston game. Great! Thats exactly how a season goes down in a hurry. We play like this in Boston and we get blown out. Suddenly is 6-5 and let the turmoil begin again.

Horrible game. Still believe we are a shot blocker away from contention? Wake up, we need a star.

Dallas is a more talented team than we are and they are much deeper and bigger in the paint. It can get tiring battling bigger bodies in the paint all night. Style of play had nothing to do with this loss. In fact without the this style of play, we never play from ahead in the first place.

Even if we had won this game, we wouldn't be a shot blocker away from contention.

That was a crushing loss. Dallas is talented- but not nearly as talented as they used to be. I think we just got tired as a team, and hopefully over the course of the year our conditioning will improve.

The way we play, every team will always be in the game unless we become a strong defensive team. We can always run the score up, but the way we play, so fast, teams are two or three of our misses away from coming back. We start strong, build a big lead and slowly see it disappear. In the final minutes if we hold the lead we become a half court team praying everything goes right and we end with a win. But when other teams don't give up and have good players to score when it matters, they will come back.

Dirk, good or bad calls, took over the game scoring 39 points. We even let Howard score 31. They knew down the road we would let them back in the game and were right. In the end, they had Dirk and we had missed layups.

This game for me is still a huge improvement cuz Dallas is such a deep and talented team and I think we can play with them!!! Just remember how small and outgunned we are in comparison and yet if we make some VERY makeable shots we beat that team. Even in a loss I see good things.

I guess you can see it like that and be happy or see the Mavs have struggled a lot recently, aren't as good as they were before and we failed, yet again, to finish off a team when we had them.

Im not happy

I must say that Violet Palmer is the Sarah Palin of referees.

That is all.
