mavericks should be ASHAMED of themselves

[mikea33]

What a lackluster effort.
kind of dispicable as a basketball fan. i dont care if i have money on them there effort is atrocious.put in your 3rd string guys, your backups are acting like there kobe bryant

b2b2b, gotta expect serious fatigue, especially with the age of their starters

Exactly. They just need to get into the playoffs and doesn't look like they are worrying about seeding. Got 2 days off after this too

[Speedy88]

What did you expect. They are old and on the last leg of a b2b2b. Not to mention they are playing a very rested Warriors team who is hungry for a win after a bad loss to Memphis at home on Wednesday.

[Sport_Fish]

Damn, are the Mavs really gonna get blown out by the two worst teams of the West B2B

[mikea33]

Records ATS on teams b2b2b is a lot better than you would think.

Emphasis on Wednesday. Mavs on b2b2b all on road and young Warriors team is at home on 2 days rest. Shouldn't be shocking

What about teams whose average starters age is in the mid 30's? Got stats for that lol

[Speedy88]

Mavs 9th game in 12 days! A lot of traveling as well, no 2 home games in a row in that stretch. Something like 8 plane flights in 12 days.

[Coming Back!]

B2b2b my ass. They just suck. They really do. I'm ashamed of myself for betting on them. Odom, Carter, these guys blow

There pros. This is there job, what there getting paid millions and millions to do.

[Darkside Magick]

too many excuses here for dallas....lamar odom need to be cut right now....no effort at all........vince carter .......just shooting bricks.....list goes on and on

[mikea33]

i know. but its frustrating to watch. not even clsoin out on shooters.

I get your upset you put $ on this game but i don't know what led you to believe they were worth playing in the first place against a young team, at home, and on 2 days rest.

[tb1984]

OK, but they are still human not robots.

[Les_Nuts]

Kidd - 38, Terry - 34, Nowitzki - 33, Marion - 33. Hayward out as well as Kidd. Guys of that age can't play at the tempo GS is playing tonight on 3rd night of a road B2B2B

[mikea33]

No shit sherlock.
But I mean a little effort wouldnt hurt.

[Darkside Magick]

the bet aint nothing to me....i will make that shyt back before morning on international basketball......just figure they would come out with more effort and not want to lose before they get home.

Also have Delonte out still. He was giving them a lot of quality minutes. Brendan Wright too

[mikea33]

The pace fit Mavericks tonight it was more of a half court game. They just turned the ball over and didnt get any defensive stops. What happened to Lamar Odom? Too much E-TV. Guy was the best 6th man in the league last year, one of the best assets in the league. Now just a slouch

[Les_Nuts]

They certainly have missed Delonte, Terry and Kidd have had to take on a huge workload recently

So now we have 3 players sitting out, a really old team, playing 3rd road game in as many nights, against a young team on 2 days rest, have lost 7 of their last 9, and this guy is complaining about them not playing well!!! LOL

The thing you are missing is these guys are pros. Its there job to perform night in and night out. Idk if you are watching this game, but if you were you would completely understand

This.

at least give a effort!!!!!!!

[Les_Nuts]

Point is this is a massive let down spot for the Mavs. They are the reigning champs but good teams do not perform well night in, night out - check OKC last night. Fatigue catches up with everyone, even pros and especially on an ageing squad with a lot of injuries. Also Mavs aren't good on the road

[dlunc3]

b2b2b, gotta expect serious fatigue, especially with the age of their starters

what was their excuse on their first and second games of the b2b2b2?

[PS3]

World Champions!

[Frisco]

what was their excuse on their first and second games of the b2b2b2?

Is winning on the road in the NBA supposed to be easy??

[Les_Nuts]

what was their excuse on their first and second games of the b2b2b2?

In bad form, injuries to some key squad members, terrible on the road and Lamar Odom got some minutes. What you expect me to say? Lose to Phoenix by 5, Lose to Sacramento by 13, Lose to GSW by 24. I'm sensing a pattern and as Phoenix are arguably the best of those teams, are you arguing that fatigue isn't a valid reason for this bad performance?

[play4win]

it has nothing to do with the starters! the bench players sucks major

[mikea33]

Thank you play4win. I mean read my original post. I said that these guys arent showing any EFFORT. Even the 3rd string guys who wouldnt get a lick if all these injuries werent taking place. Have fun bagging groceries in a year!

[sharkk]

What a lackluster effort.
kind of dispicable as a basketball fan. i dont care if i have money on them there effort is atrocious.put in your 3rd string guys, your backups are acting like there kobe bryant

What? You expect them to play 3 back to back games and then dominate a well rested team at home? :/

[M.W.]

What a lackluster effort.

Totally wrong. The effort was fine. They just went through the toughest scheduling situation any team has faced, and they did it without three to five players out for each of the nine games in 12 days.

[M.W.]

Records ATS on teams b2b2b is a lot better than you would think.

It wasn't just a b2b2b -- it was a 9-in-12, and there are no records for it, because it's never happened before.
