The one Raptors commentator
Sounds especially annoying. Hope we have a good game tonight!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
We'll see how that works out for us
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I did not realize that we are second in the league in rebounding
That’s great
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I'll look it up
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Okay, I found it
Took a while since my %(*&#% laptop is acting like I have a dial up connection or something. At any rate, the Lakers are first.
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I wish
Not yet…not until after the new year, since I had to do holiday shopping and everything, and I spent like nearly 200 dollars on my hair without really meaning to
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
A turnover already!
Did the clock even start? Geez!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
And 1, dude
Josh hit the deck. I like how they are going to him early, so he can warm up and get in the flow
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Josh doing well so far
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Our defense sucks
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
So, which scrub is going to light us up tonight and get a career high?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I think it's going to be Graham
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
JJB in the game
I really liked that article of him that you linked to, Wes.
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
That's what I thought too
It had photos and everything, and it was lengthier than the usual article.
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Come on, Dirk
Take Bargs to school
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Well, that was a crappy quarter
But the Raptors won’t shoot like that all night…hopefully. We must play better defense
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Maybe that Ukic dude will be the scrub of the night
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
There is really no defense here
Like they’re allergic to contact
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
That's a nice pass by JJB
But the guy he passed it to can’t finish
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Yes, it makes sense because of who we're talking about
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Graham, Parker, and Ukic have combined for 19 points off the bench
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
These commentators keep saying Barera
At least they haven’t called him Mexican
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Ugh, disgusting
O’Neal getting the board when there were two or three Mavs under the hoop…they didn’t even jump
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
You called it
That’s a better way to end the quarter
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Maybe it'll be a bunch of scrubs who'll light us up
A collective effort
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Terry!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
That's not a charge!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Kidd for three!
No toes on the line…lead down to one
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
O'Neal drawing the charge again
I mean, come on
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I know right
I HATE IT. I mean the offensive player makes the moves first, therefore if contact as such happens, his path get BLOCKED. Ugh.
Not just that, but he's a big guy and he's falling down so easily
At least Dirk is his size so that charge is more legitimate, but The George?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Block by Damp...?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk!
Heating up
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
The boo birds are out
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Could have been a bigger lead
But it’s hard to complain, since they had to come back…better defense this time around
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
i hate when we dont attempt a shot at the end of quarter
even if there is less than a second ont he clock.. what if it goes in? damnit
JJB never came back
Anyone have an update? Or did he come back and I just didn’t notice?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Geez, never mind
He’s on the floor now
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Not a great shot by Josh
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Nice recovery
That was nearly a turnover…geez
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Back to back threes!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Damp with a jumper
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Ten point lead!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Freaking O'Neal!
This guy has no lift anymore!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I know, right
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Tim Gunn!
Make it work!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Damn it
Bargs actually hitting a shot
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
It was like how he had that sweet pass to Diop earlier
You know, the finisher
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I was waiting for Ortegal
to give his speech about passing too low to the big man..

Dirk!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Two for Kidd
Argh
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Oh well, points are points
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Off topic, but should I watch The Spirit
I never read the book(s), unlike Sin City…and I’m not into hot girls like ScarJo and Eva Mendes
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
O'Neal trying to posterize
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk bit on the fake
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Ha
You’re surprised he didn’t try go 360?
by DitchThePlaybook on Dec 17, 2008 8:07 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah, it was sweet
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
The ball going through the hoop
It’s probably perfectly centered. Knowing Dirk and his (Evil) Genius mentor Holger, I would bet it is.
Dirk has a double double
After that slow start
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
He just might do well in this league :)
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
JJB
Yahoo has him as not in the game but you guys keep talking about him…whats up?
Weird
He’s on the floor right now
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
even weirder
ESPN doesn’t even show him on their box score
Yahoo had him at 1:33 seconds or something
And the NBA.com boxscore
Has him listed as DNP
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
he's showing up in the box scores
as antoine wright for some reason. Wright was the DNP.
www.mavsmoneyball.com
Yay!
What a great win
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I don't care...
’s contract is…he is worth it…DON"T TRADE HIM
Josh
Again doing most of the damage in the first…business as usual. I guess his ankle is fine now. He attacked the basket a few times, too.
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
notice
coach had him out of the end of the game. Ankle or 4th quarter efficiency?
I think he needed a rest
Terry’s our guy in the 4th anyway, since he makes the big shots
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk also has 5 turnovers
Team and game high
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
