Mavs up a TD

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!

I can't decide

if I want to Tivo the Cowboys game or the Mavs game.

This is a hard one.

Coming from a fellow Hardcore Mavs fan, tivo the Mavs.

They will play another game, Cowboys may not.

That 1st quarter

has pushed me towards watching the Cowboys game live.

J5 looking aggressive

Good sign

Wasn’t Josh averaging like 30+ when when Dirk was out with the ankle sprain last year? It’s frustrating that Dirk like has to be gone for Josh to be aggressive like that.

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 3:01 PM CST up reply actions

Only up by 9

feels like we should be up by more

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 2:58 PM CST reply actions

Josh really taking it to the hole

Shooting the 3 well too

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 3:12 PM CST reply actions

If anybody's still watching

the lead has evaporated. Down to just 2 now

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 3:21 PM CST reply actions

I'm here

And I see that Dirk is not…I checked this morning before going to the 12:30 mass and there was no announcement…when was it made? Like right before the game started?

around 11 am here

Outrageous. They had all Saturday to make the announcement.

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 3:29 PM CST up reply actions

I know!

I kept checking and checking…that’s f-ed up!

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Baron Davis with zero points

Let’s keep it that way!

Bass!

Awesome spinning pass by Kidd.

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 3:31 PM CST reply actions

So how has this game been?

I got home in time to watch, but I decided to watch something else to kill time and got caught up in it

by Marie on Dec 28, 2008 3:31 PM CST reply actions

Mavs have been leading since the beginning

Josh has been doing well

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 3:32 PM CST up reply actions

He usually steps up when Dirk is out

I wish both of them would be on their games at the same time

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 28, 2008 3:32 PM CST up reply actions

Exactly

I guess Josh needs to shoot more too, but unfortunately there’s only one ball.

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 3:34 PM CST up reply actions

Maybe that's why Josh is hot in the first half

And Dirk takes over the second half

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 28, 2008 3:35 PM CST up reply actions

Double digit lead

Yay

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Diop again with the garbage play

meant that in a good way

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 3:34 PM CST reply actions

Kidd hits the 3

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 28, 2008 3:35 PM CST reply actions

Aaaaaahhhhh

that was an easy 2 points, Bass

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 3:38 PM CST reply actions

I just now found out that Terry started today's game

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 28, 2008 3:38 PM CST reply actions

and no The George sighting yet

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 3:39 PM CST up reply actions

Good

Though I’m sure this is just temporary…unless Wright will get his minutes back

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 28, 2008 3:41 PM CST up reply actions

Hmm

a four-loss December is a pretty good record, I guess.

by jonthefon on Dec 28, 2008 3:48 PM CST reply actions

I read that Carlisle was surprisingly understanding about the late notification of the suspension

He said that since there was a day off between games, the late announcement wasn’t unlikely. I still think it could have been announced yesterday.

Singleton misses what would have been a great dunk

But Kidd hits for a long 2

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 28, 2008 3:57 PM CST reply actions

Uh oh

Josh looks like he might’ve tweaked that ankle yet again

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Baron Davis might be heating up

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 28, 2008 4:07 PM CST reply actions

Josh has been impressive

really

by ptrck on Dec 28, 2008 4:25 PM CST reply actions

He's a board and three assists away from a triple double

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 28, 2008 4:28 PM CST up reply actions

Funny how Terry only has 12 points today as a starter

I guess he’s more comfortable coming off the bench now

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

Well at least one Dallas team is winning/won.

Good job Mavs.

by bruce182 on Dec 28, 2008 4:52 PM CST reply actions

He seems to play really well everytime Dirk is out. Also, I couldn’t watch the game, but Josh played at SF? I don’t know if that’s a good idea to have him playing the SG position. With Terry staring, I think he played at the 3 and had a good game again.
