About a week ago I said that Van Exel was going to "shoot the Mavs outa these playoffs at some point......the man has NO conscience". I could look the thread up to prove it but I don't really think that's necessary.
-In the 2nd round playoff games with SAC, Van Exel's numbers look like this:
--> game 1 31 min....15 points and 7-15
--> game 2 35 min....19 points and 8-18
--> game 3 39 min....7 points and 3-11
--> game 4 STARTED THE GAME....4 points and 2-10
-Van Exel is 20 of 54 and suck'n air at 37% shooting for the SAC series! Why in the heck is Nellie STARTING him?? Doesn't make any sense to me!
-Combine that with Nash's 9 turnovers on Saturday and you've isolated the two huge reasons the Mavs are down 3-1 and facing elimination tonight.
-The SAC players are answering the call during adversity. Christie has got to be one of the toughest guys in the NBA. I still can't believe he came back from that "ugly" ankle sprain in game 3 and then that crash to the floor at the begining of 2H on Saturday.
-This SAC team has the WILL to win!!
-The Mavs have Van Exel!
-Tonight....the Mavs will need to take their TO's at mid-court to even hear Nellie "fart" before they smell it. Pay-back is a come'n in SAC tonight and the Mavs are on the ropes.
Therefore....what to do?
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
I think this 214 total is a bit dicey tonight. I've been on the right side of each total in all 4 Mavs/SAC games so far.....but this one is almost impossible to know. If you play this total over....your just guess'n and hope'n Nellie and/or Adelman aren't change their gameplans toward a "little" defensive effort.
TO ME.....IF EITHER COACH DECIDES TO GO DEFENSIVE (even if for just a little while during the game) this one falls under the 214 total. Defense at some point tonight is a HUGE possiblity!!
I still remember that defensive "gem" Dallas pulled out in the 2nd period of game 2 with the T-wolves. Dallas can play defense and so can the Kings (when they want too). Something tells me we will see some defense tonight as Dallas faces elimination!
Heck....Utah played the Kings a closer series than this.....because of their physical play on the defensive end of the court! Wake the "frick-up" Nellie....your team is done if ya don't get physical from here on out.
My lean (guess) is under 214. Also, a lean towards SAC...cause Van Exel's suppost to START AGAIN!
