I read that Josh is out
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
That cracked me up
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
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?

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.
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
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 know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Yay
I have the Dallas guys…I’ve missed them.
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
We better beat these guys tonight
It still bugs me how the Clippers’ first win was at our expense
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Wow
The George is starting tonight
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Not a bad move by Dirk
Just need for it to go in
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Oh geez
After a timeout, too
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Finally
On the board
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Camby blocked
Was that by Green?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Did Dirk just attempt a hook shot
It’s so rare for him to do that
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Terry is now in the game
Hopefully he’ll give us some points
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Steal by The George!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Geez, Diop
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I hope we don't think we can just coast
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Diop can't even tip the ball in
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Good job by Shawne Williams
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Nice drive by JJ
Probably got fouled, too
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Shawne Willias doing well so far
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Williams, I mean
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
This game is ugly
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Great job by Bass
And 1
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk got clubbed during the jumpball
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
We're down 11
To the Clippers
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Single digits now.
Ain’t worried yet.

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.
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
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
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I think so too
I think Lee was bleeding after
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I think they left their game in the hotel at Sacramento
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
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)?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Wright and Josh are out
George started the game
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Yeah, I don't know why they're like this at home
On the road it seems like they have more energy
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Stop with the jumpshots
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I hope the bench will provide the same spark it did earlier in the game
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
He tried to posterize
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I think we need to get to the line more
Since the shots aren’t falling
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I like to think outside of the box :)
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I wonder if Dirk's elbow is bothering him
It’s wrapped
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Down to 8!
And Dirk is yanking the jersey, hahaha
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Defense, guys
Come on
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
That must not be on the scouting report
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
That should be on any gameday note including him :)
Good offense – cover. Bad defense – shoot and drive.
Maybe Terry should come back in
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I'm going to pull my hair out!
The damn jumpshots!
"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
Dirk!
Great job there
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I guess Dirk didn't get fouled there
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
The crowd woke up
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
YES!
Attacking the basket!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I'm freaking out over here!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Yeah, he should have
One too many passes
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Damn it
Don’t let them hit a three or get an and 1 play
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Oh man
How the hell did we pull this off?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
He seems to like having JJ and Kidd on the floor together
JJ is the shooting guard, I think
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Barea.
Fear him.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45 given up in the 1st quarter. Wow. But still we're better than Washington! Oh and, SUCK IT WESTERN KENTUCKY! 1-10 baby!
He did a good job against Gordon
It’s just that I didn’t have a very high opinion of him, much less to take final shots.
The Lakers blew a lead in the 4th as well
So the two LA teams suffered a similar fate
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
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!!
Kidd had some key defensive plays and rebounds as well
I think Dirk had a steal or deflection in there somewhere
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
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!!!
In total agreement
Though I think we have a #3: get a huge lead, nearly blow it or lose it completely, yet somehow win
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Phoenix is next, right?
Maybe it’ll be Shaq’s rest day
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I just saw the recap of the game
LOL @ Kidd jumping and group-hugging with Dirk and JJ after the buzzer.
Yeah, I noticed that at the end, haha
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I wish I could see the post-game
Oh well…I’m off. Good night, everyone…still can’t believe we won, but I’m glad we found a way.
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
