If somebody wants to make a “quick observations” fanpost after the game I’ll front page it.

Tivo is as valuabe as the cell phone. Technology rules.

Perhaps the most recognizable mascot in sports, and certainly the toughest looking, Bevo is a fixture

Still haven't found out if the new guys will get to play

I don’t have a pre-game show. Anyone know?

That's what I thought, too

They have to pass the physicals and everything. Hey, did you find a live stream link?

JJB already with two boards

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

I thought that was going to be a charge on Damp

Against Carroll

JJB going after that board again

Foul was called this time when he was mugged

Wes

I like it when the Game Day photo doesn’t show faces, only jerseys.

by ptrck on Dec 11, 2008 7:45 PM CST reply actions  

Kidd wasn't stepping on the line there

Though it looked like he did…maybe I just assume all the time that he’s stepping on it

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Big offensive board by The George

Dirk hits a three…where was that on Tuesday, dude?

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

I know, right

We do not look great out there

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 11, 2008 7:54 PM CST reply actions  

Hahaha, Kidd

Great pass, but what do you expect Dirk to do there…alley-oop? I’ve never seen Dirk alley-oop!

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 11, 2008 7:55 PM CST reply actions  

Yeah, he can barely hit layups

Sorry, Dirk

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Good job by Wright

Yes!

And 1 for Bass…great pass by JJB

Surprising stat at the end of the 1st

JJB leads the team in rebounds

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 11, 2008 8:03 PM CST reply actions  

Hah

his temporary Iverson imitation (scoring in bunches, undersized SG, overdribbling) has become a Kidd imitation.

JJB triple-double: you heard it here first.

by jonthefon on Dec 11, 2008 8:05 PM CST up reply actions  

Right now he is scoreless

He just got his 5th board and has three assists

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Lineup at the start of the 2nd

JJB
JET
Wright
Bass
Dirk

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 11, 2008 8:07 PM CST reply actions  

I like these outlets from JJB

And how Bass is sprinting to the basket, expecting them

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Reverse jam by Bass!

Shots aren't falling

Please draw fouls to earn it at the line…ah, JJB heard me

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 11, 2008 8:15 PM CST reply actions  

Terry not that effective right now

Kidd is back

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 11, 2008 8:17 PM CST reply actions  

Too many jumpshots, I think

They’re kind of flat, tired…the bench guys have more energy, like Wright and Bass, though JJB doesn’t look like he’s tired. We have four turnovers compared to the Bobcats’ one.

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Is Morrison crying on the bench?

Signature! I don't need no stinking signature!!

Ortegal said he's in agony,

but I swear it looks like he’s crying a river.

Signature! I don't need no stinking signature!!

It looked like it for a second

But I don’t think so…he’s actually playing well

They're making Okafor look like Dwight Howard out there

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

remember when that was actually a debate?

Signature! I don't need no stinking signature!!

by DerekSTheRed on Dec 11, 2008 8:29 PM CST up reply actions  

I do

I remember guys like Screamin’ A. Smith going off about how the Magic picked the wrong guy, choosing an untested kid over an experienced college player.

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

And Bill Simmons ;-)

He later said he wants his editors to erase that column from the archives forever

Viva la Rudylucion

by Norsktroll on Dec 11, 2008 8:31 PM CST up reply actions  

Okafor was slowed down by injuries

If he didn’t have that ankle problem, maybe he would have started out well

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 11, 2008 8:34 PM CST up reply actions  

Yes, he did

I'm really noticing it tonight

He’s not scoring in bunches, but he’s been at the right place at the right time on defense

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Diop in the game for the first time

Here in the third

Kidd!

nice pass by Wright

Not stepping on the line, either

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

He got it off in time

But it didn’t go in…so close!

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

We're tied at 74 at the end of the 3rd

But I don’t feel that same sense of excitement

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Okafor again

Geez

Great job by Bass there to get the offensive board and score

The small lineup is working again

Kidd, JJB, Terry, Bass, and Dirk

They're playing such good D in that possession

Carroll still drains it

With 2:54 to go

Now I am thinking that we can lose this game

JET with 26 strong off the bench

JJ wasn’t as explosive tonight but still finished with a Kidd-like 8-5-5 line
