  1. I can't decide who looks like the biggest dork

    ReplyDelete
  2. That answer is always Cuban.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Looks Like J-Ho is out tonight and tomorrow for sure...and maybe the rest of the month

    ReplyDelete
  4. I say you let Damp play Shaq straight up for the 1st few minutes and see if he can hang...thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  5. I already know the answer Metta, he can't. I double Shaq every step of the way.

    BTW - that telecast news is crap. I think Cuban is hiding the obvious problem...the Mavs aren't playing well, that's why ratings are down. It's been a popular topic around here...most seem to agree that Cuban is reaching. Though if they canned Skin that would be a good start.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I think your jealous of Skin.

    I understand why you say that Damp can't do it. I don't necessarily agree but I say give Damp a chance to earn his money the 1st few trips down the floor.

  7. I will admit I have a sentimental attachment to Big Bob (and maybe more to Fake Ortegel...the nickname bit was one of the most underrated Ticket bits of all time)

    ReplyDelete
  8. Nice set play to open the game for PHX.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Damn. Game blacked out on League Pass and I'm not at home... I'll follow the comments and watch the gamecast

    ReplyDelete
  10. Barnes guarded Dirk in the GS series...i thought it was Barnes and two other Warriors

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm surprised that they don't put Kidd on Nash.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ammanuel, its your favorite player Matt Barnes

    ReplyDelete
  13. Jan - www.channelsurfing.net

    ReplyDelete
  14. I don't think they want Ki playing Nash..I think the last 20 games against fast guards has proven that.

    ReplyDelete
  15. JJB is on fire...good call on the start

    ReplyDelete
  16. Dirk needs to take Barnes to the hole...quit shooting Js...he's beneath you....beat his ass up.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Jan you coming up to Dallas for St Pattys?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Cool. Got it. Thx. Do you have to download that uStream thing?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  20. Dirk...and 1 on your boy Barnes

    ReplyDelete
  21. Jan - works okay with FF, but maybe.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I hope Cuban is listening to these guys....makes Followill and Bob look like Emmy winners

    ReplyDelete
  23. Who added the "who we follow" pics? Those are money...nice work.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Metta - are you getting the PHX feed?

    ReplyDelete
  25. If JJB dunks the ball, I might have Glenlevit come out of my nose.

    ReplyDelete
  26. One guy sounds like a cross between Jim Rome and the Hulkster

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'm getting my slingbox fixed this weekend.

    I guess Singleton is infront of Bass now in the rotation.

    I like it. Motivate Bass...he needs to play pissed.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Shiff...your favorite Mav of all time just checked in...DG.

    ReplyDelete
  29. BTW..new Anquan Boldin trade scenario.

    ReplyDelete
  30. That's it...I am buying a Big City Sliders station. I am SOLD.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm getting the Phoenix feed. The announcer just said "We hope its another loss tonight" for the Mavs. Way to not hide your bias at all.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Or maybe this is the NBA tv feed. Still...

    ReplyDelete
  33. NBA TV is usually has the home team feed

    ReplyDelete
  34. Geez. Terry and Nash are doing whatever they want.

    ReplyDelete
  35. The announcers are so pro phoenix

    ReplyDelete
  36. Well, that foul kinda F's everything up now.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm looking for 45 shots b/w Dirk and Jet. What are we at now?

    ReplyDelete
  38. nice first quarter offense. crappy first quarter defense.

    ReplyDelete
  39. My highlight of Q1: DG standing on the perimeter waving furiously for the ball while Bass knocks down the J

    ReplyDelete
  40. Pretty good 1st. Dirk needs to be a little punishing on his defenders.

    These announcers are ridiculous.

    ReplyDelete
  41. LOL...when was the DG thing...I want to rewind.

    ReplyDelete
  42. right before the end of the Qtr..about 20 seconds

    ReplyDelete
  43. Just found it...its at the 10 sec mark...great find Shiff

    ReplyDelete
  44. Anyone checked the Wickipedia on Barnes lately? Or do you both read it daily?

    ReplyDelete
  45. who added the "who we follow pics?" I like 'em.

    ReplyDelete
  46. ha ha... George dribbles out of bounds

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wouldn't you rather see anyone else getting minutes that DG? I'm gonna check his PER.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yeah...you, shif, JB, Jason...should I go on.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I don't care if DG is in the game, as long as he plays D and does not touch the ball

    ReplyDelete
  50. This guy should be a shooting coach...f announcing.

    ReplyDelete
  51. As I suspected, of all the players who get even a few minutes per game, only Carroll has a lower PER than DG.

    ReplyDelete
  52. The Damp experiment is over.

    Anyone want to trade for Dragich?

    ReplyDelete
  53. "We're not going to see a lot of ticky tack fouls" when talking about Barnes push off on JJB. But JJB just got called for the same thing... maybe cuban should fire these guys.

    ReplyDelete
  54. damp almost stole that... whoa... go stone hands

    ReplyDelete
  55. Barnes has answered the defensive bell....wtf? Dirk had 9 in the 1st

    ReplyDelete
  56. I wish they had AI follow up that little girl in this NBA Cares commercial

    ReplyDelete
  57. maybe when Dragic stops looking like he's 12.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Suns just got fd on that shot clock.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Can we change the comments so that every other is a different shade? I'm gonna look into that.

    ReplyDelete
  60. We should look into a "live chat" html program that we could post

    ReplyDelete
  61. JJ Pepes will be popn' this week for the JJB Show.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Has Dirk been out the entire 2nd qtr?

    ReplyDelete
  63. Yea, Dirk got a nice rest there

    ReplyDelete
  64. I need a Dirk post dunk to shut these announcers up...its really grinding how they say Barnes has nullified Dirk.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I'm surprised that Kidd didn't lean into Nash on that 3 a second ago...looked like an easy 3 FTs.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Dirk can pull that move every time on that punk.

    ReplyDelete
  67. The Phx announcer keeps on saying that Barnes does a good job of not going for those "Dirty Pump Fakes" by Dirk. No bias...none at all.

    ReplyDelete
  68. glad it's not only me that hears it... these guys are ridiculous

    ReplyDelete
  69. Are Jabbawockeez something Shiffler should like? I want to hate them, but for some reason I can't. Maybe they are just something Shiffler is indifferent on

    ReplyDelete
  70. No Jabbawockeez are cool...anything w/a Jedi type name is ok to like.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Say what you want...Wright steps up when we are someone is out of the line up.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I like Wright...he has really grown this season.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I feel pretty good about the 2nd half. This game is very manageable

    ReplyDelete
  74. There you go Dirk...nice shot and the foul

    ReplyDelete
  75. Ryan Hollins is playing much better than Ericka Dampier

    ReplyDelete
  76. I think the athletic play is a good change. You got to changed the temp against shaq

    ReplyDelete
  77. Nice tip by Hollins...his energy has been great.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I don't know if it was DGs comments last week but this team seems to be doing a better job of communinicating on defense.

    ReplyDelete
  79. What are those jholes saying about Barnes now?

    ReplyDelete
  80. I think Barnes has fallen for the pump fake every time

    ReplyDelete
  81. They're saying that Dirk is starting to get in a groove even though Barnes has played superb d

    ReplyDelete
  82. 29 shots so far by Dirk and Jet, I need another 16 over the final 12+

    ReplyDelete
  83. If they put up a "text the booth" # let me know.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Dirk was just a little off on his shot in the first half. Just b/c Barnes was standing in front of him while he was missing doesn't make it superb d

    ReplyDelete
  85. Well, I'm gonna have to say that there is virtually no way to defend that last one.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Although in hindsight they must be grading on a curve...after all superb d in PHX is like the Rangers get a Quality Start and calling it Superb Pitching

    ReplyDelete
  87. Barnes pulled that same sh*t v. JJB in the first qtr. WOW! Did you see that replay? Man, F Barnes.

    ReplyDelete
  88. you think Barnes pushed off a bit there?

    ReplyDelete
  89. I'm sure Cuban will send it in to the league.

    ReplyDelete
  90. That's Dirk only real flaw, the slap D. He's gotta let him have that, or get a hard foul.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I hope Dirk goes Chris Brown on Barnes

    ReplyDelete
  92. Kevin, are Shoppa and Kristen coming up for St Patty's

    ReplyDelete
  93. I'm not going to make it up for St. Patty's.

    ReplyDelete
  94. WTF....how is that an offensive foul?

    ReplyDelete
  95. Ammanuel - Kristin is in Philly shooting a new pilot, but Shoppa and I think Paige will be there. Also, I'm gonna ask Rachel Callahan to join us. Layla will be in Houston Sat morning, she'll fly back and meet us on L Greenville.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Is I'm on a Boat the theme this year?

    ReplyDelete
  97. I'm not going to make it up. Hope's BDay weekend. Her actual bday is tomorrow btw.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Dirk has to quit pikcing his nose during games.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Kevin Vela-If it going to rain Sat...I'm not running.

    If that happens, can I stay w/you on Friday night.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I like this 2nd unit...all athletic and quick

    ReplyDelete
  101. I wanted "I'm on a boat" but I have very little input since most of the materials, construction location and manpower is not coming from me.

    Next year we'll have a much cooler theme.

    Metta - no prob on Fri night. Shoppa and I are planning on taking it easy so we can be fully rested for Sat.

    ReplyDelete
  102. minus DG...put Singleton back in

    ReplyDelete
  103. I've noticed that Nash just can't get around opposing guards like he used to.

    ReplyDelete
  104. what was it you were saying about this second team...

    ReplyDelete
  105. I'm bying a Bass shirt this weekend. We need to pick it up on D...just need a 4 minute push here of good defense and good offensive ball movement.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Sorry, I spoke too soon...but I like Hollins and Bass in the frontcourt together as long as its not for too long.

    ReplyDelete
  107. shot count at 37 for Dirk and Terry

    ReplyDelete
  108. That was a cheapie...I'll take it. We deserve one after Barnes all game.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Nice D Hollins!

    T up Barnes...

    ReplyDelete
  110. there's barnes great D again... geez...

    ReplyDelete
  111. I like it Dirk...way to be physical.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Dirk just got like 4 shots for you Kevin

    ReplyDelete
  113. HOLY SH*T. Are you kidding me DIRK???

    ReplyDelete
  114. Who is the Suns color guy...he said he played w/Dirk in Dallas?

    ReplyDelete
  115. Shiff aka points guru..will Dirk hit 40?

    ReplyDelete
  116. Look at the CYA by the Suns sideline reporter. They're now saying that a 5 game defecit is not insurmountable. Comparing the GS team that beat Dallas and went 16-5 down the stretch.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Lets go boys...one more push here...good offensive decisions and defense.

    ReplyDelete
  118. good- took them a while to score.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Double Dirk, pass to Kidd for the 3...I love it

    ReplyDelete
  120. I think the balding kidd w/no shaven head is better shooter than the completely shaven head kidd

    ReplyDelete
  121. YES!!!

    If the Suns lose, they are out of it. Even if they did go 16-5 and make the playoffs, they are in a worse position personnel-wise than Dallas is. They are trying to play run and gun basketball with an aging point guard and their 3 fastest players injured/traded/gone.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Its not over yet...Nash can still hit a couple 3's and make it interesting

    ReplyDelete
  123. Get a fn stop. Quit playing like some bitches....play how you have for the entire fourth quarter.

    ReplyDelete
  124. We might have slept on Shiff's comment earlier about JJB.

    Starting him was really a key part of how this team started and played throughout.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Now they are talking about college bb

    ReplyDelete
  126. Who do you hate worse? Bowen/Barnes

    ReplyDelete
  127. Right at 45 shots for Jet and Dirk...

    ReplyDelete
  128. and the answer to who is the Suns color guy who claimed to play with Dirk...Scott Williams who played a whopping 27 games for Dallas in 2003-2004:

    ReplyDelete
  129. Oooh, nice Jan. I don't think I can choose...but I can't think of any sports figure that like less than either of those guys.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Not to be confused with the great Dennis Scott. Shiff, can we get an 8th grade pic of you in a DScott jersey?

    ReplyDelete
  131. I got Bowen...hands down. He's way dirtier

    ReplyDelete
  132. I don't think I have any pictures of me in my D Scott jersey...I think I always hid from the camera because I was too embarassed

    ReplyDelete
  133. Virtual handshake boys...way to get off the snide and get a road win.

    Even if it was agains the lowly suns.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Wow, what a give up by the Suns. Nice win boys.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Agreed that Bowen is dirtier but Barnes can inspire more dislike

    ReplyDelete
  136. nice win...this pretty much puts the Mavs in the playoffs. Time to put together a little run and get to the 4 seed

    ReplyDelete
  137. Yeah, I think I'm with Jan there. At least Bowen has game. He's a great defender and he's dirty to make his team better. Barnes is just flat out dirty. I hate Barnes more.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Tomorrow night is the NO game redux...on the road against a tough team coming off a back to back. Let's see if the boys have grown since last week.

    ReplyDelete
  139. I'd rather have Bowens on my team any day over Matt Vela Barnes

    ReplyDelete
  140. Bowen plays for SA...therefore I hate him more. If it were flipped I might go Barnes. I still hate Antoine Walker more than both of them combined

    ReplyDelete
  141. alright Gents, good work tonight. I's gonna be in and out tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Chris Webber giving Dirk props...he said he's seen big change in Dirk's leadership and assertieness

    ReplyDelete
  143. You had to go there, huh Metta. I'd watch his and YOUR wikipedia page over the next few days...

    See you boys tomorrow night.
