why is adthe so gay?
i can’t find a reliable stream for this game
Plus I get virus warnings when I click on the Mavs-Sixers link
I don’t care because my computer is full of viruses.
I wish we make gooden our permanent starting C
Too much hate?
I think they should rotate
based on matchups…really it’s the smart thing to do. with Damp in the game, I don’t think Shaq and Varajao would’ve muscled us up as bad the other night.
vs. a guy like Nene, you might go to Gooden to start off as he’s more athletic, but he’ll draw fouls and Damp will likely be needed.

Look at the numbers from last night
Dampier: 1 rebound, 3 points in 16 minutes
Gooden: 10 rebounds, 15 points in 29 minutes
Also, Shaq had 6 rebounds and 9 points (both below his average) on Saturday. Dampier gets too much credit for having a good center’s body that he doesn’t often know how to use.

you must be kidding me
you’re going to use Damp’s first game back from an issue that none of us know about and conclude that he’s useless?
Player A: 65% FG, 18.6 rebounds per 48 minutes, 2.2 blocks per game
Player B: 45% FG, 15 rebounds per 48 minutes, 1.36 blocks per game
Pick a player, any player…

The way the D is playing him I wouldn't shoot either
He can basically get down low at will versus the 6ers D.
I bet he's got a mantra
from Carlisle – “you’re not here to shoot the ball – you’re here to receive and slam it home at the hoop.”

I've been beginning to think that as well
I still think he is our 4th best guard so I don’t really have a problem with it, at the moment.
yeah ... i hope we see a big game from roddy soon ...
But i think that once Howard is back (if it ever happens) Roddy will go to the D league
D league?
Mavs don’t have an affiliate (until next year). He’d probably just practice and be in street clothes during games. I just wish Carlisle had a little foresight and realized we need our young guys to get as much experience as possible.
I think he will be, but in a contract year...
He sure isn’t giving the front office a lot to be faithful in.
I still think we have one of the top 3 benches in the league...
I think if the staff can figure out what combinations to use, and how to manage the minutes correctly they can make a run.
a big run ...
a team of Kidd, Josh, Marion, Dirk and Damp/Gooden is a really good one … having terry, hump, barea, roddy, singleton, thomas on the bench … that’s a very good team … I can’t think of better benches than ours but Orlando, maybe Boston
The Albuqurque Thunderbirds are the Mavs D-League Afiilate (Until next year)
So the Mavs may send Roddy down to them
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.-1984 George Orwell.
doubtful
Roddy is quite useful. like Singleton, just because he doesn’t play a lot for a while doesn’t mean we’re done with him. I think Carlisle was upset at him for a few defense lapses, and is teaching him a lesson.

we don't need Howard back at the moment
it’d be nice, but when we need him is down the stretch and perfectly healthy for the playoffs. I’m fine with the caution.

Yah, they just weren't profitable..Ft Worth isn't a big basketball town...
They will do well w/ Donnie owning the team in Frisco next year. Hell, I’m interested just to see the Nancy Lieberman experiment
I think we need as many athletic defenders as possible..
Though it wont happen, I’d love to see him on Kobe to see if he could step up to the plate.
After watching that game where going into the 4th..
he had outscored the entire Mav’s team 62-61, I welcome a new solution.
Wasn't that a long time ago?
I didn’t see this season’s Lakers game. Did he do much damage? Who guarded him?
Yah 06 i think?
The Lakers looked like shit when we beat them earlier this year, Ross Marion and Kidd rotated on him
that's a joke
without Kobe, they’d barely make the playoffs

it'd be nice to end up with him wouldn't it?

Where in the world is Tim Thomas?
Too much hate?
I am starting to think that he is injured or something
Too much hate?
yeah ... anyway, he shoots better than singleton ...
i hate when singleton thinks he is Reggie Miller, and starts bricking 3s … that brings me memory of Devean George
I had high hopes for singleton last season... sigh...
What a disappointment
Too much hate?
When he is playing like tonight, he is fantastic ... energy guy, defending, going to the hole ... that's the good singleton
when he thinks he can shoot, things get bad
something to think about...
going into this season replacing singleton, bass, and hollins w/ singleton, humphries, and gooden, I would have laughed at you to think the latter would be more productive…now bass can’t get off of the Magic bench, Hollins gets minutes but avgs like 4 and 4 and singleton still brings a lot of energy when he gets in
totally agree ...
I was really worried at who would produce Bass numbers … But hump, singleton and gooden are much better than him … Also, I never liked Bass’s defense … Hump and Singleton can score but play good D
and we're not really missing Gortat
not saying we couldn’t use him, especially in the future, but we’re not in dire need of post play

So, Kidd has 21 points, 11 assists, 5 boards, 4 steals, 3 blocks and just 2 TO
So, I’m happy with Kidd on our team
Agreed
Rick falls in love with the 3 guard lineup too much. I want the ball in Kidd, Dirk, or Jet’s hands at this point in the game.
pretty tough to say that
without Howard; with Howard available, I’d imagine you wouldn’t see that as much – more Kidd, Terry, Howard, Marion, Dirk

waaay tooo close
what happened to the 10 pt lead?
Wow! I went out for lunch and this much happened? So much drama and it is not playoffs yet. =))
Too much hate?
I can't wait to see a full roster play against one of the NBA elite...
Even with our good record, I still don’t feel like we have a ton of quality wins.
we're not a complete team
give it time

Why do I have a horrible, horrible feeling about that NJ game?
We’d be the laughing-stock of the NBA if something happens.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
I have the same feeling also...
Let’s have more faith! =)) Go Mavs!
Too much hate?
I missed most of the game since I was asleep but it was on and I would hear mark say Kidd hit some 3's.
I woke up with like 5 mins left in the 4th, and I was about to go off if they lost. But at least they won, Go Mavs!
In the second half, Dallas was outrebounded 31-12.

by one of the worst rebounding teams in the L. Well done.

"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.
