Dennis Scott in the house!
In the NBA TV studio…I’m sure that’s not exciting to you guys, but I’m thrilled!
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
He's a bit pudgey
"My mother always taught me that if the only thing you have to say is,
‘(Expletive) Dave Samson,’ then don’t say anything at all.
So I’m not going to say anything at all.
Is my mother the greatest or what?"
- Mariners GM Bill Bavasi, after signing Ichiro to a $90 million contract
I'm curious as to why he's here
He was the radio voice of the Hawks…I wonder if he got fired or maybe NBA TV offered him more money.

I already like him better than Webber and Payton
Steve Smith is pretty good, though
"My mother always taught me that if the only thing you have to say is,
‘(Expletive) Dave Samson,’ then don’t say anything at all.
So I’m not going to say anything at all.

I like Steve Smith as well

Erick Dampier is a beastt.

Damp with a dunk
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I saw Watchmen today
I am curious to hear the opinions of those who watch it and have not read the graphic novel.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Wright with the tough shot
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Wright starting off aggressively
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
You hover over the icon all the way to the right
Then choose HD
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Oh wait, oops
You’re talking about a video you uploaded….I thought you meant when you’re watching a video, sorry.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Here's what the Help section said
Please note, we are currently experimenting with this feature and optimizing it accordingly, so we can’t guarantee that your videos will always be transcoded into this format with this user option present.
I doubt that is beneficial to you, though. It seems that Youtube determines whether or not the HD thing shows up.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
That's one more thing
I’m looking for HQ, not HD. YouTube made one of my vids HD and I didn’t like it; it looked odd since I’m not using an HD camera. Whatever. Thanks for the effort though.
I don't know why I keep reading HQ as HD
I know they’re not the same thing :)
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Don't forget to change the clocks later
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I like it when it gets dark early
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Wright in the paint again
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
That wasn't a shooting foul?
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I hope he's as aggressive as Wright is
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Wow, McGee
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Why are we shooting jumpers
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Down 6 at the end of 1
Wonderful
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
that was the worst end of a quarter offense ever
20 footers by singleton. yeah, we’re awesome
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
god damn it we suck
we can’t score on the wizards? they don’t even play defense. just pass the ball around
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
I guess we're trying to add the worst of the East to that list as well!
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
now terry has ruined the last 5 possessions he's touched
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
Down 9 now
How about some effort out there?!
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I hope JJB is wearing a mouth guard
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I'm surprised Caron is not drinking that Gatorade with a straw
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
The George hits a 3!
Earns his paycheck!
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Washington hitting their 3s tonight
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Down double digits now
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
it'd be one thing if this team was just bad (like washington)
but I haven’t seen a mavs team underperform like this. rick carlisle was not a very good coaching decision. powerful suck
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
Drafting a fantasy baseball team
and don’t feel like watching this game…
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
nothing interesting can come out of this game
a close game against a terrible team
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
How is that a foul on Bass when Blatche initiated the contact
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
what the hell kind of defense is this
they make 3 passes and find an open man
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
Kidd misses
That would have been a two, anyway
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
You can still go
It’s early. It’s a long movie though, over two and a half hours.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
this is unwatchable
sorry i’m being such a grump. washington is such a bad team. i’m out. hope it works out.
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
Dirk doesn't get a technical for bouncing the ball?
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Of course not
But I’ve seen players get hit with one for doing that, and much less.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Nice feed from Dirk to Bass again
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Steal by Kidd!
That’s a better way to close the quarter!
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Yeah, it was mentioned in the broadcast
Are you going to call it, ptrck?
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
It's silly, but I kind of do
Which is why I didn’t mention the line…I was only going to bring up the surprising number of assists :)
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Are you tired? Or is it this boring game
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Gerald played less than a minute, had no touches, then was yanked.. what happened?
He miss a play or two on defense?
Josh will see a specialist about his foot/ankle on Monday
Is the left foot/ankle always the one he’s hurting? I hope this doesn’t turn into a Grant Hill type of injury.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I wonder how NBA TV got stuck with this game
When MIA vs. CLE is on
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Ha, Wade ejected
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
The George with another 3
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Nice!
From Kidd to Wright
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Followill mentioned the stat line
I think he’s on triple double watch
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I don't know why a man of his height doesn't dunk more often
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Just a question, but Wright only seems to play well when someone is injured ...
It was terry, now Josh. Can we please injury George just to try?
Criticism from Skin
Regarding Dirk’s shot selection
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I don't know if Cuban selects them or not...I think it's more of a fox sports thing..
anybody know for sure?
Only bad shot he can take
is the completely off-balance fadeaway over more than one defender.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
Skin wanted Dirk to go inside a bit more
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I wouldn't mind Dirk posting up smaller players
I wasn’t sure who was defending him when Skin made that comment.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Remember in Nellie ball
where he would launch one any time he was slightly open from three-point territory?
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
Ugh
Kidd is such a little bitch about trying to draw a foul with pump fakes then completely initiating contact.
www.mavsmoneyball.com
I think he hit one earlier this season
Maybe it dropped in due to luck.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
He's a bad shot with one hand
that’s why he always has his shooting form despite being like 4 feet from the basket.
Six in a row for him
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Review it!
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Dirk and 1
Kidd now has 10 assists
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Have any of you ever played nba live '08?
Whenever you play with the Mavs you can hear avery yelling, but there’s a glitch or something because if you play with any other team you can still hear avery yell out plays. It’s like he goes to every game and yells plays out from the stands haha.
Dirk has a dunk!
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Oh God
People are doing The Wave
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Yay, we win!
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Nice come from behind win for the Magic last night, Marie
Looks like Dirk had a good game for the Mavs tonight.

Yeah, i watched the game last night
I’m glad you had fun and that your streak is still intact.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Yeah, even my sister enjoyed it
… and the only Magic player she heard of is Dwight Howard!
Magic were down 95-87 with under 7:30 left, and they really turned up the defense and made clutch shots.
Nets played a good game, I give them credit.
by Mike from Illinois on Mar 7, 2009 10:04 PM CST up reply actions
So what will be the record on the upcoming road trip?
I predict 2-2. Would be ecstatic if we go 3-1.
Good question
Who do we play? I remember your favorite team, and Portland.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I'm going to be unrealistic and predict 3-1
Even though I am trying not to have high expectations.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Yeah ... It's possible and if happens we can have some hope ...
We can beat Phoenix, Portland at home will be hard, looks like they have 7 wins in a row at home, Golden State sucks so we can find a way to beat them and I predict we’ll beat the lakers unless our game is at noon
Not quite noon...
1:30 EST
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
You guys are the eternal optimists at Moneyball
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Kind of the opposite from 3QC at times
by Mike from Illinois on Mar 7, 2009 10:10 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah, definitely
I wonder how we’ll do against Boston and Detroit, the back-to-back
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I'll be happy with a split
Detroit lost at Atlanta tonight.
by Mike from Illinois on Mar 7, 2009 10:13 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah, but they always beat Orlando
We’ll see.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I know
I really believe the Magic can beat either Boston or Detroit.

Good old Robot Rick
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Yeah, and it's not bad either
Our best chances are against Phoenix and GS. I think we can beat Portland because we already did. And we haven’t beaten the Lakers since they got Gasol.
But we've played the Lakers pretty close since they got Pau, right?
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Yeah
with the exception being the last one. Lakers pulled away in the 4th rather easily after the Mavs relied to much on JJ.
I think the Lakers play better with Odom and Pau in the starting lineup
Instead of Bynum at the 5 and Odom coming off the bench
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Looks like Terry is more comfortable now with his bandaged hand
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Dirk ended up one rebound and three assists shy of the triple double
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Ha!
So now he’s had at least two this season
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Damp did have a dunk in today's game
I think…so the lead isn’t that big :)
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Man, I find this quote right now: WTF!!!
Talking about Josh’s injury:
"Look, we haven’t had Stackhouse all year, and he’s one of our top five guys,‘’ Carlisle said. "People forget about that one. We’ll deal with it.’’
I read that earlier and just shook my head
And rolled my eyes as well
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I know we have to keep people motivated and all ...
But what that says about the team, when erry (where is the J) Stackhouse is one of your top 5 guys?
Maybe Robot just said that for Stack's self-esteem
Maybe…
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
I'm worried ... If that's true than you have:
Dirk, Josh, Terry, Kidd and Stack … What will happen with the George when he find out about this? Where is the respect?
He'll just look at his three championship rings
And say, “This is all the self-esteem I need!”
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
"People forget about that one"
Because Stack, in his current state, is best left forgotten!
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Maybe he's been drinking the Kool-Aid
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Dennis Scott in the studio is great
I hope this is a permanent addition.
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
Well. I have had enough ... Knowing that Stack (our 19ppg scorer) is one of our top five guys ...
By this time on Sunday we’ll be on a 5 game winning streak, mark my words …
Good night everyone!
I'm out as well
Take care, everybody…enjoy your weekend and don’t forget to change the clocks :)
I promise to commit no acts of violence, neither physical or otherwise, if things come alive...I'll say it now
