Kidd short on the layup
And Ortegal with a bad Koufos/goofus joke
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk with a not so sharp outlet to Josh
Who misses the shot
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Josh even misses a FT
Is there a lid on our basket or something
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Kidd with a steal
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Brewer trying to posterize
Damp challenges the dunk
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Bob sounds like he has a cold
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk blocked by AK
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I can't stand Howard
he shoots every single time he gets the ball. The Mavs are better when he doesn’t play.
The George misses an open three
What is he getting paid to do again?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Another timeout
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Singleton waited too long to pass that
Dirk was all alone under the hoop for a few seconds
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
i'm getting kind of sick
of singleton coming off the bench before bass…
Oh geez, haha
That was such a corny skit with Jason Kidd and a Santa, haha
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk blocked by Fesenko
Then a three on the other end
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Josh needs bionic ankles like Dirk
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Diop now in the game
Even he can’t make a mistake in 5.9 seconds
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
They are playing The Cure
Just Like Heaven
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
It's stuck in my head now
I think it’s one of the best love songs ever
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Lead is 7
It seems like all of the timeouts are being called by Carlisle
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
do we play
the clippers like 6 times this year or something
I think we're getting it all out of the way
Thankfully
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Like Hubie Brown used to do when he was in Memphis
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Ack
My league pass feed went to static!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Josh misses a jumper after the two Utah fouls
According to Yahoo
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Now we're back
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
And 1 for Kidd
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
All right, those green jerseys are going away
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Mark F. said something about color scheme changes
And Mavs are going to be “Los Mavs” a couple times this season
Yeah, I wonder what color they will be next year
He said the lettering will be the same
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I hate the lettering
If anything, I’d keep the typical white/blue jersey designs and make one in green. And have them read “Mavericks” instead of “Dallas”.
Surprised Damp didn't get a three seconds call there
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Damp with the awesome block
But the Jazz still score!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Kidd for 3!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I love AK, but he acted just a bit
Now Dirk gets a technical
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Or did he? Maybe that's a timeout whistle
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Yes, my mistake
That was a timeout whistle
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Wow
what a flop….
How can the official call a foul when the acting is so obvious. Even if there was contact the dive should negate it.
www.mavsmoneyball.com
Yeah, that was really horrible
Especially in slow motion
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
sorry guys
even we Jazz fans could tell that was an EPIC flop.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
Glad we can all concur
AK usually plays great defense
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Maybe that was the free giveaway
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
The lead was cut to six
Come on, guys
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
That shot doesn't count
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
yup
replay confirmed, no basket. good call.
y’all need to play some D on Brewer and Koufos though.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
Any word on when Boozer will be back?
Didn’t he get a third MRI or was it a fourth?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
third
still no timetable, but there have apparently been “setbacks.” How there can be “setbacks” when he’s supposed to be taking it easy and healing? Good question.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
I'm not personally
but lots of Jazz fans are. I just think Carlos has a fragile body that doesn’t heal quickly. But given his recent comments about opting out, coupled with the way he bailed on Cleveland… let’s just say there’s a reasonable doubt.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
Yeah, I thought about the Cleveland thing when he stated his intentions
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Who knows
Players can do silly things…I mean, look at Monta Ellis and his incident. I was really hoping his contract would be negated since he broke the rules
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Yeah, I think the Players Association is backing hiim up
Maybe they have to…?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Yeah, I like that ad
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Too bad he didn't have that look
When it was suggested that Diop get the full MLE…or maybe it was even his idea
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
LOL
Though he isn’t getting paid to shoot
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Come on guys
they wouldn’t be the Mavericks without overpaying a center to do nothing
He gets the occasional rebound
Though at his position, rebounding shouldn’t be occasional
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Koufos has a career high
Courtesy of us…yay
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Damp somehow loses the ball by himself
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Utah getting all the calls
I wish the Mavs can also get away with slaps, grabs, and flops like they do
And 1 for Josh
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
This is very quickly getting out of hand
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Time to try the 3-guard lineup
Anything. Losing to this undermanned Utah team is would be embarrassing, 2nd night of a b2b and all.
Yeah, we came out flat after the half instead of energized
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
We are making Koufos look like an All-Star
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Third team foul for the Jazz
Let’s get them in the penalty!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Josh hits that open 3
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Great he made a shot
now he will keep shooting
Why is that not an over the back foul?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Wow, we even blow fastbreak opportunities!
It was two on one!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
This is horrible
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Barea and Bass now in
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Josh somehow beats the shot clock
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Hey, he hit a shot
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Oh my God
What the hell happened there?!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Ha
They are playing Goin’ Back to Cali
Cali…
Cali…
I don’t think so
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
It's only 10 and there's a whole quarter left
You can do this, guys! Just show some semblance of defense!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk is ejected!
What is it with him and Utah
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
He was retaliating
Harpring pushed first
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Fesenko fouled him there, too
Over the back
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
It's been that way on both sides of the ball all night.
Dirk was just frustrated.

The call stands
Dirk is out…damn it! Someone really needs to step up now
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Harpring shoved Dirk
then Dirk nailed him with a fist to the face.
I can’t stand Harpring, but that’s exactly why he gets on the court: to piss off people that can’t control themselves. I don’t like it, though, even if the results are beneficial to the Jazz.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
You don't like Harpring?
I liked him when he was with the Magic…but he is injury prone
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
No, Dirk elbowed him in the arm
his hand just happened to extend into Harpring’s face, which was unfortunate
Most definitely
The refs always catch the retaliation…but they missed Harpring’s shove and Fesenko’s over the back
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Yeah, that's the thing
It was the other ref
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
it's not BS
when a guy swings a closed fist at another guy and hits him in the face. Harpring should have been called for a foul or a technical. And there was a push-off on Fesenko’s part beforehand. But a closed fist to the face is not something you can argue with.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
Dirk's fist was a jerk reaction (if you will) from the elbow to the Harpring's arm
which was the ONLY intentional hit. When did Dirk ever hit a guy in the face with his fist? Oh and did it help that Harping really sell that shot…
I don't believe it was intentional
I think you’re right, Dirk meant to elbow Harpring in the arm. But he closed his fist, and from the replays I saw, carried through to hit Harpring square on the nose. I don’t believe Dirk deliberately meant to hit him in the face. But that’s what ended up happening, from what I saw.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
It's like his hard foul on AK last year
That ended up in a suspension, though that was only a flagrant one call
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
nah, I don't dislike Dirk
or any of the Mavs, really. He just lets his temper get the best of him when he plays the Jazz. He’s not dirty or deliberate, it just happens.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
Don't unravel!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Come on, it's not a lost cause yet!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
What a pass by JJB!
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Remember the days when he used to be kind of like the mascot
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
So I missed Dirk getting ejected.
From reading y’alls posts it must have been pretty intense. That aside, we always have trouble with the refs when we play utah. Hmm.
Now it's looking a bit hopeless
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Waiting for the miracle ...
It’s hard to play against 8 players everytime down the court. Those refs are killing it … Harpring flopped a lot there, he reacted like he was shot by a sniper … 10 point, 4 min left … I don’t know …

And Josh
is playing the green role now?
by hugommorais on Dec 26, 2008 10:13 PM CST up reply actions
Koufos with a career game
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Hmm ...
The Jazz seem like the anti-mavs … Any Center (or PF turned Center) that enters this team plays well. Boozer is out, Millsap turn into Malone. Both are out, Koufos plays very well …
by hugommorais on Dec 26, 2008 10:15 PM CST up reply actions
How come almost always don't win
when the game’s on the local TXA 21?
Last year, we almost always never won on TNT.
Why did Barea pass it to Singleton for 3?
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Howard
in the dog house.
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!
Yeah
He is playing the Gerald Green role now
by hugommorais on Dec 26, 2008 10:20 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah, even though he scored all of those points in the 3rd
And yet I don’t disagree with him being benched like that
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
JJB is good and all
But i really think that Kidd must handle the ball like 80% of the time and Barea the other 20% … When JJ is on the floor, Kidd goes to the corner to shoot 3 pointers. The 2 times Kidd touched the ball he found guys open …
If Dirk was there
We could have won this thing … The Mavs D was really good on the 4th … We just couldn’t shoot well … Even singleton took a 3 …
thanks for a pleasant evening, all
I always like checking out the opposing view. Good luck to ya.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
Hopefully we take this out on the Clippers on Sunday
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
And Hope Randolph
Don’t go crazy again against the mavs
by hugommorais on Dec 26, 2008 10:25 PM CST up reply actions
Is Dirk going to be suspended for the next game?
I wasn’t sure if it’s automatic or if the league has to review it
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
I don't think ...
That was a penalty 2 … The league will review it but that isn’t like last years blow he gave to Kirilenko … He’ll not be suspended
by hugommorais on Dec 26, 2008 10:29 PM CST up reply actions
It was a flagrant 2
Since it’s an automatic ejection
Last year was a flagrant 1 and he didn’t get ejected, but after league review, it was upgraded to flagrant 2 and then he was suspended
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
For sure ...
I hope the league review it and don’t suspend him and he goes angry to drop 50 on the clippers
by hugommorais on Dec 26, 2008 10:42 PM CST up reply actions
This team is stilled owned by Mark Cuban and Stern will
do everything that he can to try and get Dirk suspended.
I have witnessed time and time again.
I'm pissed at this lost
First, on paper, we should have own.
Second, I hate that the Jazz can whack, hold, pull, flop without getting punished.
Third, Josh Howard sucks. (ship his ass out of here)
Fourth…that horrendous Kirilenko flop.
Fifth, Dirk gets ejected because the one ref wants in on the spotlight.
Otherwise, props to the Jazz for winning.
I couldn't say it better ...
I just want to add that Harpring made it look like he was hit by a sniper on the play … Not that was a flop
by hugommorais on Dec 26, 2008 10:43 PM CST up reply actions
We looked tired right from the beginning, though
It was going to be a tough game to win, after last night
"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki
Man ...
I haven’t seen that … He should be suspended!!
