Here are your Tuesday links and info on YOUR, DALLAS, MAAAVERIIICKS!
Dallas Mavericks Cruise to 12th Straight Win | Eddie Sefko-DMN
"The night, however, ended on a sour note as J.J. Barea stepped on Darko Milicic's foot with 2:29 left in the fourth quarter. Barea limped to the locker room. X-rays were negative, and Barea said, "I think it'll be OK" as he hobbled around the locker room.
It couldn't put a damper on the winning streak, however. The run is tied for fifth-longest in franchise history, and it'll be another 11 days before they face a team with a winning record. Plus, their next four games are at home."
Darko's suck is so strong, he pulled Barea toward him and caused him to injure his ankle. Hopefully Juan will be alright.
Mavs will play the outdoor game next October and Dirty gets named WPOW. Can I get an Amen?
French may soon call on Beaubois for national team. | Sefko-DMN
An article from yesterday on how the French want to steal Roddy for their own nefarious gain. Viva Le Résistance!
Barkley considers hopping on Mavs bandwagon. | Tim Macmahon-ESPN Dallas
"Noted Mavs critic Charles Barkley is almost ready to jump on the bandwagon. A team that was like a “pretty girl with no brain” has earned Barkley’s respect after a trade that transformed the Mavs’ personality."
We don't have anymore room, fatty.
Are we really running and/or gunning?

They need to really make Mavs donuts. Imagine the possible names, The Dirty Donut, Blueberry Barea, Caron's Strawberry Special.

Peeng, Pahng! I always read that site as the women game :(
Finally, a tale about moi. I hate having long finger nails, so I do a good job of keeping them neat. I also hate when my car, "Roxie", is dirty and unkempt. Most of all though, I am a superstitious guy. How are all these three linked?
I put on my Mavs car window flag the 10th of March when I was going to Jamfest. What happened there? I only met The Blonde Bomber and got his autograph. The flag has been on ever since and we've lost only one game. My nails haven't been cut since then and the car has bird poopy. So the question is...

Streaking..
Also, Art Garcia checked in with his thoughts on the size of Beaubois.
Despite his size — no one on the roster is shorter — Beaubois has a blocked shot in four of the last five games.
Makes you kind of wondering if Art should stop entering the locker room before the players put their clothes on…… why nobody wants to step away from their crackdealer.
The Charles Barkley 2009/10 Ancestors Count: 12 Grandmothers, 2 Mothers Alltime: Reg. 35-2 Playoffs 7-0
"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. He later added "We need to not always make hard work out of sex." Take cover whenever he pulls the undoing-card..
"Rough life, isn't it. It's tough all over, isn't it." Smith chuckled.
Sheed for $30k: "They've got to know that he's a [darn] flopper. That's all Turkododo do."
"Ball." Hedo Turkoglu
Charles Barkley on the Eastern Conference race: "Cleveland and Orlando are the two best teams in the East. The Boston Celtics, people keep waiting on them to get healthy. I mean no disrespect, but old people don’t get healthy. They die."
Mutombo, Ewing and Yao at the restaurant...
MUTOMBO: "The chicken is the bomb."
EWING: [Rubbing belly] "I gotta go work out tonight. I'm full. You got a treadmill for me?"
YAO: " Leave your car keys here and run home. I'll give you the keys tomorrow."
F*$K CHUCK
NO way we let him get on the bandwagon; I’ll call, e-mail and write into that show so many times talking sh!t.
"Hang-Dai, Wu...Hang-Fu$&ing-Dai"

How does Charles fit into anything?`
Just wondering.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
Well, he made a ton of space on the bandwagon
when he hopped off after that series in 2007…

hollingers awful rankings get awful-er
ok so the spurs LOST last night on the road by like 1 or 3 or something.. whatever…
mavs WON on the road by 13…
the spurs – hollingers 7th ranked team – gained .258 on hollingers rating scale…
the mavs – ranked 13th!!!!! – gained .234
what an idiot
go mavs, go colts, go rangers, go baylor
How does that a team that loses gain a higher rating than a team that wins?
That makes total sense. And wtf is up with the 13 ranking, who does he have ahead of them?

If you haven’t realized it yet, Hollinger uses a formula to come up with his rankings sololy. It’s not based on opinion of who’s playing better, it’s based on what he’s ranking teams on, particularly point differential. It’s nothing to get mad about or call him an idiot, it’s just a different way of doing things.
The Mavericks are obviously not the 13th best team in the league.
dude we know how hollingers rankings work
and i will call him an idiot if i like damnit
go mavs, go colts, go rangers, go baylor
Half of your comments seem not. He’s not trying to make a formula to be the same exact thing as the weekly power rankings.
just because he made up some formula
doesnt mean i have to like it… and i made 1 comment so i cant figure out how half of my comments seem to portray that we dont get hollinger… since there was 1
whatever holingers formula is… it should not give a team more ratings points to a team that loses than to a team who wins… that is idiotic
go mavs, go colts, go rangers, go baylor
It’s based on a statistic that point differential leads to greater playoff success, so that’s why he uses it and combining it with opponent strength. It makes sense, but teams like the Mavericks who don’t always blow out teams, whether they’re trying to or not will obviously suffer from such rankings. I don’t think it’s anything to go crazy and argue about.
I think it's a perfectly acceptable reason to go crazy and agrue about stuff
it’s the internet.

"The Mavericks are obviously not the 13th best team in the league."
So why does he keep using the formula if it sucks?
