Mavs vs Clippers

Sorry this is late..  I am just starting the game on TiVo

BTW we signed Wright and Najera signed with the Nets (Thanks Marie!)

While I like the signing of Wright, it seems like we have quite a log-jam at this position of spare-part guys who are either really young or really old, offensive minded or defensive minded... I have a bad feeling we have been down this road a time or two before... and its not gonna be a smooth ride by any means.

Looking forward to the game

Maybe we’ll have a discovery like with Brandon Bass last year.

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:25 PM CDT   0 recs

I hope so

at least at the 2/3 position.

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:25 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

The game hasnt even started yet??

They must be really running behind

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:26 PM CDT   0 recs

Yeah, definitely

I got home at 8:30 and the Lakers/Pistons game had just started…and that was supposed to tip off at 8.

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:27 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

And to kill time

They’re showing stuff from last year’s draft.

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:28 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

who cares about this… get on with the game already!!

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:30 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I know, I'm impatient too

By the way, Toddy…great job with the blog updates!

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Thanks

I feel for WES after trying to stay on top of everything!

Luckily its a down time for me… but it leaves me too much time to complain about the moves we ARENT making. Lol!

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:33 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Forgot about Faz

Being with the Clippers.

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:33 PM CDT   0 recs

yeah

lets hope we dont regret letting him go after tonight

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:34 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Alrighty

finally we start

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:33 PM CDT   0 recs

Haha

There’s a Damp clone on the floor…long socks and headband, big guy.

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:34 PM CDT   0 recs

I wonder if he has

the tweety bird legs to go along with the overly-sized upper body

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He had a Damp-ish move

In which he didn’t finish at the rim at the first attempt, but got it to go the second time.

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Green

Im excited about him… WOW

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:36 PM CDT   0 recs

Maybe he's humbled by what happened last year

And will play better and be more committed to the game

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

is terry on the floor?

I really want to get a good look at him also…

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:38 PM CDT   0 recs

Damp clone's name is singleton...

and we signed him today... bleh. He even has hands like damp!

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:40 PM CDT   0 recs

Damn

And I was just saying over here that he won’t gain a spot on the team. And I don’t think I’ll be calling him Singleton when he’s eerily like Damp.

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

5:52 left

and dallas is down 6-14… Green looks good, though a little out of control at times. Kinda reminds me of Mo Shots

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:42 PM CDT   0 recs

Green with the foul again

Over-eager, perhaps? Rusty?

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:43 PM CDT   0 recs

yeah him and Mcleod both

seem to be a bit excited

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Faz looking good

but our defense (or lack there of) is making it easy for him

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:44 PM CDT   0 recs

I believe...

He’s in Greece with the Puerto Rico team for the Olympic qualifying. That tournament starts on the 14th.

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:47 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

wow

we are just throwing up crap and hoping it sticks

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:46 PM CDT   0 recs

Clippers

Are active at the rim

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:47 PM CDT   0 recs

Sow

has a nice little post up game, but is rushing his moves

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:47 PM CDT   0 recs

Damp clone

looking a little better

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:52 PM CDT   0 recs

Damp clone

Hit a 3

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:53 PM CDT   0 recs

down 3 at the half,

be back in a bit

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:55 PM CDT   0 recs

Whoo hoo

We have the lead, 22-21

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 9:57 PM CDT   0 recs

finally!

Terry and Shan helping out with that

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 9:58 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I like Thornton

Too bad he’s not on our team

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:01 PM CDT   0 recs

Phew

They missed an alley-oop…no D there from the Mavs

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:10 PM CDT   0 recs

Too many jumpshots

Kind of like the real team sometimes…

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:10 PM CDT   0 recs

That should have been a foul on Faz!

It was a moving screen…foul on Gerald Green instead (again)

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:14 PM CDT   0 recs

Im back

I hate my computer right now

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:15 PM CDT   0 recs

Is it time to get a new one?

I’m considering getting a new laptop, but can’t afford it right now.

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:18 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah

I cant decide between a dell or apple… not sure if Im ready to go mac yet

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:18 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I would love a Mac

But I can’t help but have doubts since I’m so used to Windows

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:19 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Anyone ever notice

that the coach with three first names looks like the guy on pringels cans?

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:16 PM CDT   0 recs

My brother and I call him Pringles

So yes, we’ve noticed, haha

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Rick-o IS there

but he is not coaching. I dont remember AJ being at the summer league games last year

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:16 PM CDT   0 recs

Clips had a nice

4 on 2 break… no defense from us

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:17 PM CDT   0 recs

Yeah

We’re all offensive-minded and that’s it

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:18 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

What is he up to, anyway

Probably just spending time with his family

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:20 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

me too

but Im kinda glad he didnt to a certain degree… makes me feel like we made a good decision.

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:21 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

and collecting

mark cuban checks

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:20 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Spurs mascot there

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:17 PM CDT   0 recs

Damn

Big lead again

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:18 PM CDT   0 recs

Damp clone

Can hit threes, but not free throws

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:21 PM CDT   0 recs

I betcha he is

our DJ this year

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:22 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Shan has been open

most of the game, yet they cant seem to get the ball to him

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:23 PM CDT   0 recs

Not impressed with Green so far

He just had that one dunk…still only two points, at the end of the day, no matter how fancy

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:23 PM CDT   0 recs

true,

he really got quiet after that dunk… just fouls

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:24 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

17 points down... wow

so much for not losing one summer league game like Rick said

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:24 PM CDT   0 recs

Maybe we can come back

We don’t look like a team out there…looks like five guys who happen to wear the same clothes and be on the floor at the same time. We have no game plan.

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:27 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Wow...

we are sucking big time right now…

Note to Pops: Get to Vegas FAST

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:25 PM CDT   0 recs

let us pray

to who ever it is that one might pray too, that he is not… at least for the summer league games.

I have always liked him, and thought he should have gotten a spot on the team last year… but no, we opted for herpes instead

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:28 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

That guy better not be back

Talk about a waste of space

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Green being more aggressive

And he’s not happy with how Faz wrapped him around the waist to stop the layup

by Marie on Jul 11, 2008 10:39 PM CDT   0 recs

faz

getting back at the mavs for letting him go

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Green hit a three

but it was another offensive foul by damp clone… ugh. seriously, is this damps brother?

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:42 PM CDT   0 recs

ha!

lets worry about 5 ft and in, then work our way out a little bit

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:44 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Miles seems most comfortable

in bringing up the ball out of everyone else…

by Toddy on Jul 11, 2008 10:42 PM CDT   0 recs

Green has some

HUGE shorts on
