Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday

They gotta steal one tonight.
Lakers are freakishly good. The jumpers have to fall tonight for them to have a chance.

This might sound silly but,
I would like to be the arena voice for The Mavs once Billy Hayes retires. One day, Bruce, one day.

I'm stuck with the NBA TV pre-game crew
I don’t mind Ahmad and Gary Payton, but Chris Webber is there

The Pre-game Kobe worship is tiresome.
3 championships, an MVP, a gold medal, and no convictions.
What next, Kobe? What next?

NBA TV has Josh Howard starting
Are they incorrect?

Not according to the pre-game with Carlisle
He said JHo was making some progress, but wouldn’t go tonight.

Bad turnover by Kidd.
Otherwise, he now has 5-6-5. I smell a triple double.
by ptrck on Nov 11, 2008 8:10 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Please don't jinx him.
He had 9 assists with about six minutes left in Denver, then didn’t get anymore.

Probably because
he doesn’t seem to sell the contact like some other superstars. Or the verbal flop.

Another foul
called in Kobe’s favour.
Is it just me or Dirk doesn’t take enough shotclock-beating shots? It seems he’s always the guy who should aim to do that.

Isn't it frustrating

Granted, he was the focus of the other team’s defense, but I felt he could have done a lot more in the fourth quarter. Did he even get to the line in the second half?

i dont blame dirk for settling for jumpers
when he goeshard to the hole or tries to draw contact… they dont give him the call… makes sense hed rather take a shot with no one jumping on him since hes not gonna get to the line anyway

Yeah, Dirk had an off night, coupled with the Laker's precision strike approach on the opponents' best player
