Yeah gotta give credit to the Grizzlies for their great defense in this game but Stackhouse seems to get shutdown on a regular basis. It almost seems hopeless that Stackhouse will have a big game. Right now the players I think are playing best are in this order.1. Nowitzki2. Terry3. Howard4. Dampier5. Griffin 6. Diop.

He was only 9-22.</div>Yeah, but i think about 7 of those shots made were in the 4th quarter and overtime. Terry has been clutch. Clutch doesnt just mean hitting the last shot. You have to been clutch when your down to get back into the game. Bottom line, ice water runs threw Dirk's and Terry's viens. They scored 42 points out of the 56 points scored in the 2nd half and OT.
Naw, man, Howard made some big mistakes coming down the stretch. I think #3 belongs to Adrian Griffin. His rebounding saved us in Game 3.1. Dirk Nowitzki (pretty obvious why)2. Jason Terry (made some big shots in the fourth and in Overtime)3. Adrian Griffin (6 offensive rebounds in Game 3 to save Dallas, an unsung hero)4. Erick Dampier (had a huge tip to Nowitzki in Game 3, had a huge double-double in Game 1)5. DeSagana Diop (though not filling up the stats sheet, he's helped limit Gasol and force him to jumpshoot)6. Marquis Daniels (has played like the regular Marquis, and he's improved defense and his passing)7. Josh Howard (had a really good chance to be at the 3rd spot, but has made some key mistakes in crunch time, as well as getting into foul trouble and going a bit undercover on defense)
Well, this is the first series of the playoffs thus far to be finished after Dallas swept Memphis tonight on the road..I was surprised at the outcome of this series, because I thought it would be one of the more contested series and I thought Memphis would cause some problems for Dallas, however, I was clearly wrong as Dallas steamrolled the Grizz to move into the second round and await the winner of the San Antonio/Sacramento series.
Man the mavs are getting some much needed rest, Van Horn could be back in Game 1/Game 2 of the Semifinals.
Yes, winning in the shortest amount of time in this series helps. Lots of time to rest and have prep time for Kings or Spurs

Diop.</div> Thank goodness you didn't put Daniels. And your talking about Stack still lol. Honestly least he's a healthy body out there and despite his shot selection is an asset to the team still. When your boy Daniels is just as inconsistent with his games, and add on he's freaken injury prone. He would be better if he could simply stay healthy and string a few games together. Like I said, both bring about the same, luckily if one's not on, the other is here. Definately need to address 2 guard in summer.
Stack did have a good night tonight...finally.Now only if he could save that for a game when we'll truly need it.I agree, the 2 guard position does need to be adressed this offseason, either in the draft or FA.
Stackhouse was on tonight and I give partial credit to Harris's passing and putting pressure on the defense which allowed Stackhouse some good looks. I think Stackhouse plays much better with Harris than Terry for that reason. Stackhouse is unable to create a good shot for himself and the offense gets stagnant sometimes but Harris forces the tempo and it helps sometimes. Especially players that are struggling.

I said a good shot. Not that he can't make tough shots but some of them aren't high percentaged shots and therefore why his shooting percentage is so low. I like using Harris the most when Dallas has a lead. I guess he doesn't feel the pressure as much that way. I like Terry in the 4th quarter but like to see Harris more early in the game to take pressure off of Terry. Harris's defense on Bobby Jackson was awesome also. That is a good sign.
good way to be close out the series. a 26 point loss. i watched game 3 and its too bad they lost that one. they could've won but dirk was clutch down the stretch and pau gasol kept missing his free throws.
