I was about to say something about that, too

I just switched over to USA to watch House in the meantime

You know, I've never watched that show

Not that I don’t want to, and I like Hugh Laurie. I should try to catch it online.

Hi all

Too bad, the Suns rested Shaq in the last game when Nash went down with a cold, so he should be at the top now. Well, beating a depleted team wouldn’t be fun, would it ;-)

Yeah, I think both of them are playing tonight

Maybe Carlisle wants a quick start

Rather than a lethargic, slow one. These aren’t the same Suns, but they can still score in bunches.

I would say Rudy and Oden for the rookie game. They could also make the all-rookie first team. Nic maybe the all-rookie second team. Too bad the Mavs don’t have a rookie this year ;-)

The Magic give away a free donut after every win

And if the team hits 20 free throws in a game, then a free Chick-fil-a sandwich the next day

And, I just learned that if a player on the opposing team fouls out...

You can get a free shake at Chick-fil-A…but you have to claim a voucher at a Kanes furniture store

I was optimistic about this game

but i didn’t expect this

Now you're pleasantly surprised

We have early garbage time

Dirk only scored 2 in the 4th, ended with 39

Could’ve gone 50 but I’ll take the W

They wouldn't be up by this much if it wasn't for him

Besides, they started defending him better in the 4th

I agree

Chuck has no business in what LeBron wants to do.

Is Gerald Green hurt?

JJB is playing the whole game

Mark Cuban, you need a Spanish PG for a backup PF. Contact St. Kevin at 1 Center Court, Portland, OR.

Good luck with your season, Mavs fans…

Shawne Williams with a subtle 7 and 12(!)

And I like Damp getting at least 25 mins

by ptrck on Dec 4, 2008 9:57 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I was surprised by the 12 boards as well

Damp totally outplayed Shaq tonight…to think I was worried

A little thing I noticed

Two times did Doug Collins and Coach Carlisle had the same train of thought, almost simultaneously.

1. Carlisle calls a timeout when the Mavs are starting to lose steam; seconds before that happened, Collins called it.
2. Doug senses a Suns run and says the Mavs need Terry; then we see Terry enter the game very shortly.

I thought this was amusing.

yah i went tonight…. got a few tics from a mavs dancer.(not a joke and yes my wife knows!)… yet somehow their tics are still on the upper deck…

fun game… kinda boring… crowd sucked… there were plenty of open seats, though im sure they still announced it as a sell out … it was dead all night…

im sure it had to do with the blowout and the lack of energy in the crowd

obviously dirk was great in the 1st half… jj is still defying odds and playing really well… shawne williams 12 boards… wow… no lie it was hard to pay tons of attention to the game tonight since it never was close… the beer was good though…

 go mavs…. ill be there vs the spurs too… hate the spurs!

From what I understand, you get free food if they score 100+

Since it was a blowout, there was no need for you to hurl projectiles :) Hard to say sometimes if I prefer close games vs. blowouts…I think it depends on where I am watching. The crowd seemed lively on TV.

Good win.

Happy to see this Mavs victory. Normally I have nothing against Phoenix, but this year I’m just rooting against them!
