Game #4 - Toronto Raptors 102 - Dallas Mavericks 91

[Axel]

No Biz?

Normally I would be against Biz-JV on the court together, but this matchup might be the one to try it.

Concern would be how would Biz impact JVs space down low. Dirk would be free to double off Biz but the 38 year old isn't built for running around on D at this stage of his career.

PP should be able to stay with Dirk and is less of a rebounding liability vs Dirk. Dirk will score, PP just needs to try and make it uncomfortable for him and make him work on D.

The Joey streak continues!

Joey the real MVP!!

MASAI - PAY THE MAN

Biyombo will jump at every pump fake Dirk throws at him. It would be a disaster.

Well of all the choices we have: Scola, PP, Biz - all of them would be disasters.

JJ or Bennett might actually be the better choices lol

[DanH]

Well, JJ for sure.

[Axel]

Well, JJ for sure.

Who we know won't get 1st, 2nd or 3rd crack at it.

So of all the options that Casey is willing to use....I expect to see Carroll

This is the kind of matchup that makes one hope Bruno turns into a real player. Bruno would be perfect to guard Dirk.

This is a game the Raptors got to win, because a day after they are facing OKC and it will be a much tougher match.

Yes. And at Orlando and at Miami. If they don't win tonight could go 1-3 on this road trip. Even at Orlando will not be easy as they are desperate for wins believing this year they could contend for 8th seed. Traditionally early season road games at Miami we lose so beating Dallas and Orlando will be necessary to go 2-2. It irks me that Wed night ESPN game is Knicks at CAVS. Raptors vs Thunder is a better game imo.

[psrs1]

Well, JJ for sure.

JJ seems to have been lost at the end of the bench so far.

This Game we are going to Need to go to Valy Aka Tha Instigator.

Tha Instigator has the tools to dominate and Lead the Team this Game......Gotta Watch out For Disco Dirk aka Noah's Arc Though. Disco Still Got the Ability to be a scary Brotha out there, even though he Is still getting double Teamed and some times three man on him and He is around the Age of the Greatest PF Ever Timmy Duncan aka Tha Elevator.

Disco Dirk Ze German, is no Joke Still as Clutch as Ever and Still Having Fun Out There. Rained 3 treys last game...Disco's Jumpshot is still unblockable, and He Does Not Stop, cause Dirk can go fast and slow basically at the same time, the reason Disco Dirk dominates, he moves Purposely....Slow..Never seen a Brotha Like Disco Dirk, Ze German, One of the Smiling Assassins Is Just Lethal, will post you Up spin and Jump Into the Sky and will look like he is shooting the Ball on his way back to the ground and the guy trying to stop him will be jumping and lose patience and foul him every time...I mean Look at this Shot from One of Tim Duncans Main Rivals from time:

That's Discos Shot Fam, Dilberately Goes Slow so you trying to stop him get angry and foul him, then he is laughing all the way to The FT line.

Nowitzki, the Unguardable German was One of the Shooting Assassin of the Association some of the most dangerous Brothas of the Association, you never knew where you stood with Dirk, cause He was Intense yet Calm the whole time. That's why he developed His Disco Dancing Moves when He drove, the Game came so easy to this German that he developed a Way to Dance all the Way to the Basket on his Drives Possibly the reason why....Dirk was Chillin on the Court, and His Game was Built to make the opponent angry. After Dirk dropped 14 points straight on his opponent, he Would Smirk at the Brotha who was yelling at his teammates and say "Youngsta, Why You Salty Fo?" Bahahahahah Dirk naw Easy. Just Don't get to physical with Disco, or he would demand the ball and next thing he is going to the FreeThrow line 18+ times Check this Game from Disco:

Dirk is Just one of The Greats The Game Has Seen.

Here is An Example Of Disco Dirk Drives:

As The Brotha Disco, Drives He always Rocks Left and Right Movements so you have a hard time knowing when to time your Jump to Block him

This Song Really Represents Disco Dirk and What He does Out on the Court....

Dirk was Partying Out Therr on the Court


Tha Instigator is another Young and upcoming Unguardable Brothas that Toronto has on there Team.....Big Valy Can't get stopped on the Court and When His Mates see to It that he gets the ball the Big Lithuanian, has Moves for days...Tha Instigators opponents is secretly begging Vals Team not pass the ball Here is an Example

Opponent of Jonas: please Please Don't give the Ball to Vally

Opponent of Jonas: Awww Man they swinging the ball, WHY THEY SWINGING THE BALL???

Opponent of Jonas: NAW MAN STOP! (ball swings around the perimeter and Demar has the Ball staring at Jonas), WHAT THE?? Says the Guy defending Jonas

Opponent of Jonas: Come on Demar Shoot the Ball, don't pass to Jonas(Jonas man starts to sweat buckets)

Opponent of Jonas: WHAT IS DEMAR DOING??? STOP!!! NAW MAN(Demar passes the Ball To Jonas and clears out)

Opponent of Jonas: HELP! HELP!! DOUBLE TEAM!!!

Jonas: "Ball into Basket" Says Jonas

Jonas makes a Move and drives on his opponent, pumps and then Hooks the ball Into the Net his Opponent Is Yelling at his Own Teammates "HEY!!, I CALLED FOR A DOUBLE TEAM!!! "

Why He so Mad you ask, Cause Jonas Is 22-23year old Center dominating when Centers are not supposed to Be Good until they are 27+!!! Wow

Tha Instigator Is The Next Big Thing Inside the NBA when talking about Big Men. So To See him going Against A Legend Like Disco Dirk, Tha Instigator Will Relish Dominating Inside Dallas

So One Legend To a Rising Star inside the Association

Dirk Nowitzki aka Disco Dirk aka Noahs Arc VS Jonas Valanciunas Aka Tha Instigator Should Be a Good Game

Blessings

Biyombo will jump at every pump fake Dirk throws at him. It would be a disaster.

I like Biyombo, but for some reason his fouls and missed bunnies make me laugh. For everything positive he does, all of a sudden he'll clank a put back or foul 3 guys in 2 minutes and you remember why he'll only be able to play 15-20 mpg. But it'll be a good 15-20 minutes. And he'll make use of most of his fouls. (He's averaging 5 per game so far in 17 mpg.)

Let's pull a W out of the big D.

I was really hoping Bismack would be the 1st player in NBA history to foul out of 82 consecutive games.

But his poor shooting has got to be a "head" thing, hasn't it? He's just so close to the basket! So it's too much like learning to put the peanut-butter back in the cupboard, isn't it??

I'd sign this guy to some term, A.S.A.P., Before those little put-backs, lay-ups and short jumpers begin to fall. And I'd put up with a lot of misses until they do. A lot.

He's career 30.7% shooter from 3-10 ft (as per Basketball Reference). I wouldn't get your hopes up
