Yes time for a celebration.

*Pops the champainge*

I agree, he needs to stop with all the fouls man.

He just started fouling like crazy trust me once he stops doing that I'd rather have him start over Dyess.

 

[RipCity32]

I'm actully really starting to like seeing Dyess starting, he makes almost every shot he takes, and he can rebound, I don't see why he should be benched right now.

Your right but wait untill he starts going into a slump.
Maxxy won't go into a slump he can only get better.
I mean his stats off the bench aren't fantastic but if he just gets a little more minutes and starts his confidence will raise and he'll get better.

And how everyone thinks that Amir will be our starting PF in a couple yrs and Maxiell will just be our great 6th man...I see it the other way around.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah, we are going to have a strong frontcourt it years to come.

But, if Dyess does into a slump, that is so bad we need to bench him, I say start Amir, Maxiell seems to fit the role of the bench player a lot better than a starter. Give him one more year and he will start, I just want his spark off the bench, like what he did in the ECF vs. Cleveland last season.

Yea our frontcourt will be solid but I still think Maxiell will be our future starter over Amir.

 

[RipCity32]

I'm sure he will be, and I want him to be, but you never know. I won't care, I just want to win. lol.

 

[DJT]

Woohoo! 27-26 Boise State!

Granger had a good game today.

 

[RipCity32]

Mavericks loseing FTW!

 

[DJT]

Mavericks loseing FTW!

yep, they just couldn't get going, plus the whole ref thing that Maple was talking about.

 

[RipCity32]

What exactly happened?

 

[DJT]

What exactly happened?

Something about the ref that last year in the playoffs (game 5) made some bad calls, and he made some more tonight, and Avery got mad and was running after him and got ejected....I'm not sure though, haven't seen SportsCenter yet, watching BSU v Hawai'i.

 

[Mexi]

losing to an O'Neal-less Pacers = pathetic

 

[RipCity32]

Isn't it though? Even if there was bad calls, you should be able to win by like 12-20. Ecspecially if your the Mavericks.

 

[DJT]

Granger > O'Neal.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Hey, we're still 9-3. And for the video and stuff here it is:

[MapleLeaf]

Also, you guys are overrating Jermaine O'Neal. Only putting up 13 and 7 this year.

 

[Mexi]

Granger > O'Neal.

oh fo'sho

 

[RipCity32]

I dont' know if your trying to argue the point of him getting tossed from the game, cause if you are he should of for sure, and he should get a fine...

 

[MapleLeaf]

I know he should have been tossed and probably get a fine. I'm pissed at the ref and how he can't even call a simple call. And this is the same ref who in one of the games, I'm not being a poor sport but "handed" the game to the Heat.

Salvatore famously made a key call against Dirk Nowitzki in Game 5 of the 2006 NBA Finals after which Dallas owner Mark Cuban held one of the angriest press conferences in history. ESPN's Bill Simmons has named Salvatore the second worst referee in the NBA, and a review of every call of Game 5 by 82games.com found that of the ten debatable calls Salvatore made in that game, an astonishing eight (I'm no math whiz, but that's 80%) favored the Heat -- who ultimately won that game and the championship.
