This is a scheduled win
because Detroit played yesterday at 7. pm ET in Washington and had to fly home for the second game on a back to back.[ I like the short term SEGABABA, too.]
And Dallas already waits one day there…. If you look around the league, almost every good team struggles with that. Boston at Indy, L.A. at Denver, Mavs at Clips Spurs, Cle at Tor etc pp. That’s why it’s a scheduled win. Just follow the schedule, Mavs.
Detroit OffEff 104.5 (14th in the League) DefEff 101.7(13th)
Dallas OffEff 103.8 (16th) DefEff 96.3 (6th, tied with OKC)
The Pistons are without Hamilton and Prince (injuries & lost friends) under fresh Coach John Kuester(former offensive ass. coach in CLE) and operate at a very slow pace > 89.6, barely beating -the life out off the ball charlotte in that category. I think they are just fine without their injured wings. Watch out for the Swede, Jonas Jerebko, R.
Ben Wallace once again is worse on offense than Dampier, but at least better than sidekick Kwame Brown. But just like the Mavs, they do not depend on those guys to score. They shall play D and that’s enough.
You heard that, Damp? It won’t be that easy to outscore your guy again in a looooooong time, big fella.
The Pistons are coming of a 3 game-win-streak against phi and cha at home with the wizards on the road as the last victim of the Bynumite.
Beside, Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva both confused Chuck lit up the Mavs for 32 Point-games last year.
I could go deeper into detail, but neither am i paid nor capable interested. So this has to be enough.
Fakequote Rick Carlisle:
They have a nice team, but we are better and it should show. OR ELSE!!
(He would actually never say something like that. Instead, he would warn the team about undoings and buttkickings in the wane of effortlacking complacency, which happens to be the stubborn kid that refuses to move out of your house, even at the age of 29)
And now for something completely different, Dirk Nowitzki has 0.8 Defensive Win Shares, which puts him at fourthbest in the NBA. There are only 5 players who have a better defensive rating than him, and they are all centers.

"There were arms coming from everywhere, and I knew they weren’t going for the ball," Miller said. "I was just trying to get [the shot] up before they called some crap like ‘on the ground.’ "
"What do you want me to do?" Wright asked. "Do you want me to Derek Fisher him?"
"Give them some fucking credit, i mean for real." Jackson said.
"I just fell on my face for no reason," Bryant deadpanned. "I'm a klutz."
"Fucking right i'm preachin' it!" Carlisle replied.
"Rough life, isn't it. It's tough all over, isn't it." Smith chuckled.
Mutombo, Ewing and Yao at the restaurant...
MUTOMBO: "The chicken is the bomb."
EWING: [Rubbing belly] "I gotta go work out tonight. I'm full. You got a treadmill for me?"
YAO: " Leave your car keys here and run home. I'll give you the keys tomorrow."

After the game, Dirk jumped to rank #2 in Defensive Win Shares. DPOY, anyone? ;)

It's kind of weird that you can't curse over there since it's already a shitstorm of overreaction.
If they do lose then they super suck, FOREVER!!!!!

He was sick before the game started, so roddy started instead.
Then damp was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

JET with a 3!
Dirk had a nice WIDE open shot after trailing the play. The Jet 3 was possible because stuckey went down on the other end.
