Mavs @ Suns 5/30/2006 game thread scouting report

[Sundance]

And the Mavs trolls scurry like cockroaches, heading back to their damp little cracks in the wall.

Wow, owned! I didn't watch the game but my twin bro called me. Nice.

 

[Billy Bob]

I didn't see it either. but Al McCoy calls a great game

I think they really energized the team even more and he and Marion should be going strong like that every time.

Or ever. Everytime Marion is supposed to finish on a 2-on-1 break and the pass isn't a lob right to the rim, I know he's going to put up a soft layup and blow it. It's so painful to watch, over and over.

I love this team.

I expect a BIG game out of Marion in Game 5 - he's due for a big offensive night.

Love this team.

2 WINS AWAY FROM THE FINALS!!!!!!

What did tnt say, Suns win or a Dallas loss?

Thats pretty much everybody on the team ... TT, Diaw (although he finally started dunking tonight), and Marion have all had free plays to the rim but refuse to play strong. If you finish strong you either get the points off the dunk or a foul.

This team plays soft way too often and that unfortunately is where we miss Amare

Suns win. Everybody but Howard was off for Dallas.

Raja and LB were huge. Thats about the gist of it

I hate Marion's floaters... never go in. Just stuff it.

So - TT had his off game again - which means he should be back for a good one on Thursday - gonna need him AND Marion to step up because I doubt we see a lot of Raja after he re-tweaked himself tonight.

Good lord - are we really looking at ANOTHER 7 game series? Is this team TRYING to kill us?

You've finally jumped on the "they're trying to kill me bandwagon". Like I said earlier we should just fast forward to game 7 because we'll probably lose in Dallas and then win at home then we'll play game 7 AGAIN.

What is the record for most post season games played in one season? We have to be close

it's got to be the 1988 Lakers - I know they went 7-7-7 in the last three rounds and had go at least 3 in the first round - so that's got to be it.
