I agree, Avery blew it for game one.<BR/><BR/>It'll be interesting to see if Howard and Terry can burn the Warriors often enough the next couple of games that they have to give Dirk more freedom. He did have a lot of passion on defense on Wednesday, though.<BR/><BR/>Micah––I still love watching Stackhouse run the break. You never know what's going to happen…scootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648062432937107093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841361437254309340.post-82711689085820417392007-04-26T00:18:00.000-05:002007-04-26T00:18:00.000-05:00A couple of observations from the game:1 - I don't...A couple of observations from the game:<BR/><BR/>1 - I don't know how we got to a 20 point lead. It felt like we were losing most of the game when were actually winning.<BR/><BR/>2 - Dirk had a decent game statistically, but as someone else mentioned, he definitely looked confused and out of place on the court. It is disappointing to see Terry hit a shot when it felt like we really needed one and comment to my friend "Who else would it be?"<BR/><BR/>3 - We had way too many 24 second shot clock violations. Quit passing so much and shoot!<BR/><BR/>4 - Stackhouse should not be allowed to initiate the fast break. He seems so out of control and like he has lost a step to most of the Warriors. In fact, i'm not sure the fast break really is that helpful to us in this series. I would be fine if we just slowed it down unless it is just a one man fast break.<BR/><BR/>5 - Barkley is really making me feel good right now. That is a weird feeling.micahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08747261572899892609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841361437254309340.post-46510358453129193172007-04-26T00:09:00.000-05:002007-04-26T00:09:00.000-05:00I am sure glad that mvp is awarded based on regula...I am sure glad that mvp is awarded based on regular season performance...<BR/><BR/>Dirk had good stat lines in both games, but I seldom saw less meaningful stat line from him.<BR/><BR/>He fumbled passes, when he did catch the pass, he passed it back. True, he passed back bacause of double team. BUT, he always waited for a double team before he initiated anything.<BR/><BR/>By the way, why can't AJ just admitted "I made a mistake in game 1" and then moved on?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841361437254309340.post-28977386089929632902007-04-25T23:36:00.000-05:002007-04-25T23:36:00.000-05:00Connor-Glad to hear it.

With the semester winding down and papers coming due, I figured I better get my mavs writing done during the game, so I’m glad it gave you something to check on.scootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648062432937107093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841361437254309340.post-19139954331614788872007-04-25T23:30:00.000-05:002007-04-25T23:30:00.000-05:00Well, the Mavericks did improve on their three-poi...Well, the Mavericks did improve on their three-point shooting in the 2nd half: they went 1-for-8. This game was a relief, but we still didn't look convincing. One thing thoug, the scoring was pretty spread out for us. I don't feel that just one guy stepped up tonight. This may not be a series where Dirk, Terry or Howard can take over individually. <BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see what happens Friday in Oakland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841361437254309340.post-35540194062591959522007-04-25T22:54:00.000-05:002007-04-25T22:54:00.000-05:00Great!No cable or TV but at least I get some runni...Great!<BR/><BR/>No cable or TV but at least I get some running commentary along with my ESPN.com score updates.Mr. Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04266437585026544459noreply@blogger.com
