Sunday Roundup

PrintI really wish Dirk's 44 point performance was the story this morning, but it's not -- at all. Jason Terry broke the fouth metacarpal on his left (non-shooting) hand. He's having it reexamined today, but for now there is no timetable for a return. Earlier this season, Carmelo Anthony broke the third metacarpal on his shooting hand and missed three weeks. I have no idea if the injuries are really comparable though.
I also have no idea what to expect without Terry. He never misses games. He's played every game but one since the 06/07 season. And he only missed that game because Avery was resting players before the postseason. Dallas lost the game by the way, 89-104 against Utah.
We'll definitely be seeing more JJ Barea, and we have to hope he plays like he did last night. Despite the Kidd love-fest on the Mavs postgame show, I thought Barea (20 points, 6 assists) was easily the Mavs second best player yesterday. Who else will see more minutes? Green? Carroll? George? *Gulp*, Stackhouse? I don't know. Carlisle probably doesn't know yet either.
Sefko says Kidd will have to step it up with Terry out, and blog favorite Gerald Green is always ready.
"They're making decisions, and I'm staying with it. I could be here complaining and moaning and griping every day. I choose to still smile. I don't want to do anything to jeopardize my future. I don't want to get a bad rep, saying I have a bad attitude. That's never been me. And I've always had problems [getting to play]."

Moore has a random article looking at players whose names keep coming up in trade rumors.

Dirk had 14 points in overtime, and until Ben Gordon hit a meaningless three at the buzzer so did the entire Bulls roster.
Check out this quote about Dirk from Joakim Noah.
---------------
1996 Jason Kidd had a 20-20 with 20 points and 25 assists. It was the 12th time a Mavs player had a 20-20, the only 20-20 with assists, and the only time Kidd had a 20-20 with Dallas. 25 assists is the most in team history. It was only time a Mavs player had 20+ assists and the 7th of 17 times Kidd had 15+ assists with Dallas.

According to DB.com
Terry also thinks he’ll miss three weeks. But this was after the game last night, so we won’t know for sure until he sees the specialist and gets evaluated.
Up up down down left right left right B A start
No question
For example, their +/-:
Kidd: -9
Barea: +11
Also, not only was Barea scoring a whole bunch, but he had 6 dimes and 3 steals as well.
+/-
Means absolutely nothing.
Barea scored more. Yep. That was huge—no doubt. He took up the scoring to keep them in the game.
Kidd single-handedly kept Chicago from winning in regulation.
Completely disagree.
To illustrate my disagreement, I was referring to his ball denial and defense on the last play. You were referring to his shot. They were both pivotal.
That shot block was one of the more impressive i've seen.

I hope Carroll gets a big chunk of those minutes.
seems worth at least seeing if he can contribute. And we’ll need a three point threat with Terry sidelined.

I hope not

Yuck...
He’s not good…
Just force those minutes down Gerald Green’s throat and see what he can do with consistent minutes… You’ve gotta use this time do see if you can get any kind of production from your younger guys…
That is, unless they make a move to bring in somebody that can be in the rotation after Terry returns… And frankly, that’s what they should do if there’s something out there…
he's having a crappy year
but he used to be a pretty serviceable 3 pt specialist. I think we know what we’re going to get from Green … flashes of offense and the occasional mental lapse. I really don’t think giving Carroll at least an audition would be so bad.
Put it to you this way, best case scenario, wouldn’t last year’s Carroll stat-line of 43% from 3 and 9 ppg be preferable to whatever Green could give you?
