Found a TVU stream

Go Mavs!

Ugh

two missed lay-ups already.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 7:43 PM CDT reply actions

Hmm

No iso by Dirk so far, I like this offence. Much more ball movement, opening up the court well.

Nasty stuff by Damp over Gooden.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 7:49 PM CDT up reply actions

Great

will I be talking to myself if I stay on here?

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 7:51 PM CDT up reply actions

33-19

Looking good so far. Shooting pretty well, getting off pretty good shots.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 8:03 PM CDT reply actions

Dirk went down

got up a little slowly, but appears to be nothing.

Kidd with a bunch of assists already, Wright has 11 points.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 8:05 PM CDT up reply actions

Kidd booms, sinks a three

Gooden “carrying” them, but getting his points off jumpers, which isn’t really him.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 8:07 PM CDT up reply actions

End of first quarter

36-22.

Kidd’s three was lucky, think he meant to lob it over to Damp but managed to get it in…

Start of second quarter

George and Bass heave up a couple of bad shots each, then Jet gets a steal and fast-break layup. Bass gets a Jet miss, puts it back with a dunk and the foul.

Been missing basketball too long I guess: JJ and Jet seem to be moving faster than normal.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 8:17 PM CDT reply actions

Bass with a nasty reverse slam

44-29.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 8:20 PM CDT up reply actions

JJ sinks the three

after a couple of baskets by Jet and Bass.

51-34.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 8:27 PM CDT up reply actions

Holy cow

A helluva facial by Bass, two-handed dunk, over about three guys.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 8:30 PM CDT reply actions

Microwave on from Jet

making those jumpers now after starting a little cold.

Barea makes a nice contested layup.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 8:35 PM CDT up reply actions

Bass follows a missed JJ layup

beating the buzzer.

So far our entire offence looks rolling. The starters played the first quarter, then our second unit of Terry, Barea, Diop, Bass and George logged the entire second quarter. Shooting over 50%, 6 players with 7 to 11 points at the half. A lot of positives so far, apart from the 21 free throws the Bulls have shot.

You like talking to yourself?

I still spell Dirk, MVP.

by srdmad on Oct 9, 2008 8:37 PM CDT reply actions

Guess I do.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 8:48 PM CDT up reply actions

Whatever makes you happy I guess.

I still spell Dirk, MVP.

by srdmad on Oct 9, 2008 8:49 PM CDT up reply actions

Well

doesn’t seem like anyone else is watching this game.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 8:51 PM CDT up reply actions

Oh really.

I still spell Dirk, MVP.

by srdmad on Oct 9, 2008 8:52 PM CDT up reply actions

Hmm

I wouldn’t even be watching this game if it weren’t for the fact that I live overseas and can’t seem to get a stream of the baseball.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 8:54 PM CDT up reply actions

2-0 Dodgers.

I still spell Dirk, MVP.

Stopped watching

and what happens? 12-1 run by Bulls to start the third quarter. Gotta got eat lunch now though (time: 1:06pm).

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 9:06 PM CDT reply actions

So what's the score of the game?

I still spell Dirk, MVP.

by srdmad on Oct 9, 2008 9:07 PM CDT reply actions

And now I'm alone.

I still spell Dirk, MVP.

Pat the bat Burrell ties the game at 2.

I still spell Dirk, MVP.

by srdmad on Oct 9, 2008 9:09 PM CDT reply actions

You mean Utley

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 9:10 PM CDT up reply actions

Now Burrell

gives em the lead.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 9:12 PM CDT up reply actions

I saw someone hit a homerun and assumed it was Burrell, because he hits in front of Howard usually.

And Howard was next.

I still spell Dirk, MVP.

by srdmad on Oct 9, 2008 9:13 PM CDT up reply actions

Actually...

Think Phils lineup’s always been something like Rollins, Victorino, Utley, Howard, Burrell, whatever RF they have, Feliz, Ruiz, pitcher.

Mavs have steadied, 12 point lead now.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 9:16 PM CDT up reply actions

Against the Brewers in game 4 it was Rollins, Werth, Burrell, Howard.

I still spell Dirk, MVP.

by srdmad on Oct 9, 2008 9:21 PM CDT up reply actions

Ah well

doesn’t matter.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 9:31 PM CDT up reply actions

70-58

according to ESPN, Mavs holding solid.

by jonthefon on Oct 9, 2008 9:11 PM CDT reply actions

Actually that was Chase Utley.

I still spell Dirk, MVP.

MAVS ON TV

Hey guys……Just wanted everybody to know that some (not all) of the games are being shown on the NBA League Pass channels on Dish Network. Both the Tuesday game and tonights game were on there. And apparently you don’t have to be signed up for League Pass to get them, since (so far) I haven’t been able to sign up…(Dish Network says it’s unavailable to purchase until Oct 30). The game tomorrow night does not seem to be showing up on these channels, but I suggest you check these channels the day of all the pre-season games to see if they are available as not all are. Just thought I’d pass the word!
GO MAVS!!!!

by Cynthia56 on Oct 9, 2008 11:19 PM CDT reply actions

2-0

Good pre-season start against the Wizards and Bulls. I’m especially happy that Wright and Green seem to be clicking. That SG spot doesn’t look so bad anymore, with Terry as the first guard off the bench that might work quite well against most teams.
