Did you write “The Devean George” on purpose?

That's whay I'm calling him from now on

Or at least I will try. It’s going to be real tough to stick with when I’m all fired up with his airballs, fouls, turnovers, etc that I might omit the “The” from his name. Whatever.

Looks like the Clips were almost victimized by the D-whistle Saturday night.

I didn’t catch the highlights, but saw this on Clips Nation. I suppose it’s good they won in spite of it….

What the hell is the deal with the officials and this guy?

by DitchThePlaybook on Dec 2, 2008 7:27 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I saw the Youtube video of that

I just had to laugh. Now he knows how it feels to be victimized, I guess, though this was a regular season game and not the Finals, where it really counts.

I just read...

this article on Yahoo. Surprisingly, it’s not a Harris vs. Kidd or Harris > Kidd article, though it is about the two of them.

We better beat these guys tonight

It still bugs me how the Clippers’ first win was at our expense

Not a bad move by Dirk

Just need for it to go in

Did Dirk just attempt a hook shot

It’s so rare for him to do that

Hopefully he’ll give us some points

We're down 11

To the Clippers

They're flat

And the Clippers started out hot…I think we cut the lead to four at one point. Good job by your Blazers tonight, by the way.

Not a nice game, but at least they manage to come away with wins this year for most of these

Rudy hit some big threes, Roy was unstoppable as usual, and we won the rebounding battle

I saw Przybilla's stuff on David Lee

As much as I like Lee, that was a great block

I think so too

I think Lee was bleeding after

I am starting to hate the AAC crowd

It’s almost like the have forgotten how to help the team when they are struggling.

Is it like that in the upper level(s)?

George started the game

Yeah, I don't know why they're like this at home

On the road it seems like they have more energy

The third scorer is missing

Dirk and Terry’s production looks solid, but Kidd and Damp have 0

That should be on any gameday note including him :)

Good offense – cover. Bad defense – shoot and drive.

The Lakers blew a lead in the 4th as well

So the two LA teams suffered a similar fate

Wow

Watching Dirk brick shot after shot early was really painful. I did not think the Mavs would win this one tonight. Fortunately, Dirk found his shot late, and Barea was the giant little man tonight.

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

by DerekSTheRed on Dec 2, 2008 9:54 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Kidd had some key defensive plays and rebounds as well

I think Dirk had a steal or deflection in there somewhere

Haha it seems we have two options when it comes to the Mavs.

1) We take the lead only to lose it, and eventually lose the game.

or

2) We never lead only to come back and win the game.

I will take number 2 all the time.

Good comeback, we need to work on some stuff but let’s celebrate for now. WHoooo MAVS!!!

by bruce182 on Dec 2, 2008 9:57 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

In total agreement

Though I think we have a #3: get a huge lead, nearly blow it or lose it completely, yet somehow win

they’re coming off a back-to-back with the Hornets, I think.
