That is what I am thinking we were all hoping to see this season.

The Mavs really have no front court at all right now. We were ready to take advantage.

Tough one next though. Get ready for a letdown.

Mavs were 7-2 their last nine before we stormed in.  Our defense was simply suffocatingin the first half.

We can beat any team, any night, with any lineup

And that's coaching.

And we can lose to any team, any night, with any lineup.

And that's coaching too. Following your logic, right now 11 out of 15 coaches in the Eastern Conference have coached better than Thibs.

Not always - you surely know better.  What I am speaking to is having your teaam

a)  prepared 
b)  together
c)  confident

Individualy smarts can sometimes wain (doesnt often with us, I dont think) and  shooting skill can come and go.  And honestly luck does also enter the picture.  I think we haave been on the less lucky side this year in several close contests and even some blowouts.  Last yera may have been PEAK lucky - I dont know.  Maybe next year is an in between

Cheers.  Dont give up the ship just yet like Fac.

Evan Fournier: [C+/B-]: The Frenchman has heart, an offensive skill set and character enough to own his failings, but has been plagued by inconsistency.  When locked in, he is a deadly three point sniper, and is surprisingly nimble in going to the hoop, but has had a tendency to fade demonstrably in the fourth as he did against Phoenix, when Thibs inexplicably subbed him back in for Reddish, who was having and excellent run, and EF proceeded to launch a couple of dying quail.  Thibs did NOT repeat that mistake against the Clips and Kings.  While a game defender, it is surely not his forte, and with two guaranteed years remaining at aroughly 18-19 million, it will take some creativity and likely the sacrifice of some assets to explore offloading him.  Likley he remains, but will find himself in more of a sixth man/second team role with the emergence of RJ, Cam and Quentin.  DeMar DeRozan we hardly knew ye.  Rose and WWW made a serious miscalculation in overestimating the value of Kemba, and underestimating the value and leadership of DeMar.

No.  To all of it.

That is the equivalent of a heh, whithout actually heh-ing.

Chamaco, if you were hoping for a picture of Thibs saying you were right, you aint gettin it. You just jumped ship right now.

Mike Woodson defensive specialist - and shout out of course to Coach Knight)

Indiana down SEVENTEEN to Michigan today and then the swarm came.
Hear on the radiocast - a player got his third foul a minute into second half and implored. Woody to keep him in.

60-43.  Michigan led

Final was Hoosiers 74 Mich 69

Incredible.

Be better, CS.

Whatever you feel politically , this is a US veteran who sadly lost her life. 

And I have enough respect for your mind to KNOW you feel the entire day was handled poorly by Pelosi and whoever else had a hand in decisions on  Capitol police and Guard presence/non presence that day

[lesterluv]

Nice try, when the President himself is trying to overthrow the government ya' can't put the blame on nobody else. Pelosi..lol, back into your hole!

Ain't nothing sad about racist scum losing their lives. For the ones who weren't racist scum just low IQ or poorly inclined, well, blame it on the Donald, don't even think about trying to point elsewhere.

Meanwhile, to complete a completely non-basketball post, this &^%ish is not ending well, at all.

Nonetheless, I firmly believe Little Mao Zizzley will rejoin this forum once he is no longer inconvenienced by his police app and sequestration.

Fixed.

Chamaco, please do not EVER leave this forum, like your friend BoZizzley, AKA Mao Zizzley. You just provide sooooooooo much fun.

Good effort from the boys last night.


Morant made a play that had to be top 5 for me in the last ten years.  If  you didnt see it (I will try to find a link), he skies frm left side for a too-high alley opp pass - almost flushes it anyway, then scrambles for the rebound ahead of 3 Knicks, drives and lays off a sweet behind the back dish for a deuce.  5 seconds of insane level athleticism/basketball smarts and  unselfish leadership.

And of course Ja soared in the end to lead his mates - erasing 99-92 deficit with the final 26-15 Grizzlies run.  (Julius had a chance to hit 2 free throws and get us back up 9 but missed both - still a real good outing for Randle)

The complete Ja kit:

(play I referenced is at 2:45)

[lesterluv]

Yeah, a real good one for three quarters. Impressive coaching and playing.
Not unexpected to run out of gas for the last 12 minutes of the road trip.

That said, it ended in pure regression.

A lazy, contested and completely expected Randall clanker from three becoming a Grizzly break, the momentum-killing turning point after our lead reached its apex.

Repetitive isos and futile forays into the extremely well-protected lane as the lead disappeared.

Fournier on the bench as all this occurred, after a fine game, and we needed that shooting.

Nonetheless, we are who we are and that's better than who we were a few weeks ago.

Future Knickerbocker KEEGAN MURRAY with 32 as Iowa comes back on Indiana - down 9 with under 5 to play - Murray, his brother Chris and mates head to the Big Ten final 80-77.  Congrats Coach Fran McCaffrey - and great job, losing coach (today) Mike Woodson - your guys play HARD, man.  Unfortunate to lose on a heave 3 ball.

Hey Les, BoZizzley, AKA Mao Zizzley, is still missing. He aint gonna see your post. Well, he would not see it anyway, it is probably bocked in China by now.

Maybe you should send your friends in Zach-s Posse on a rescue mission to liberate BoZ.
