But you didn’t really change all that much so I can live with it. I’ll never understand while perfectly good websites will make unnecessary changes (Facebook, Yahoo!, etc.) but whatever.

And Drew Gooden’s a dumbass.

I am not wild about the new look. Thought what was already here was nice.

to be politely.

From Sefko:

Drew Gooden, under fire for allegedly saying a homophobic remark at a Los Angeles Clippers fan, was not the person who uttered the comments, according to a Mavericks’ source.
The comments in question came from somebody who was with Gooden, the source said.
Gooden was at the Mavericks’ shootaround this morning, but did not comment to media members. A team staff member said he possibly would talk before tonight’s game against Utah.

 and on the pop(ped)eye

There are those in the Mavericks’ organization who believe that the story could take a U-turn before it’s done.
The interesting part will come when the tape from the police car is released, if it is. Only then will we know how Richardson police handled Popeye and whether or not he resisted arrest, which he has not been charged for, by the way.

i would say he also is in the running for the dumbest mav… though not in the drew gooden calling people names sort of way… more in the i tweet like a 12 year old girl sort of way

13. A source close to the Mavs tells me that if the Clippers are in “sale” mode in December, he thinks Camby is a more likely target for the Mavs than Kaman, because Camby’s contract is much more favorable, and because the Mavs have been leery of Kaman’s medical issues.
 
Of added relevance, even though Camby would be an expiring contract, the Mavs would get him with full Bird rights intact; that means they could sign him to a new deal in the summer at any mutually agreeable amount, without having to use any of their annual cap exceptions or 2010 trade assets to do so, or could perhaps include him as an asset as part of a sign-and-trade.

Marcus Camby is one

The other would be if Roddy B showing well enough in practice and limited game opportunity to force his way into the rotation. Youthful exuberance is missing.
