This is our chance to be over .500 for the FIRST time this season
Can you believe that?

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 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.

Why are the Mavs down again against the freaking Paperclips?

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

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!!!
