Pre-game:
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Our first word is that there'll be no Dirk or Kidd. So...let's see those new Mavs!
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Lamar Odom and Vince Carter, on your TV wearing white and blue.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
We hear Khloe Kardashian is excited
First Quarter:
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
The first play of your 2011-2012 Mavs campaign is a Lamar Odom pass to Vince Carter. #obviously
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Shockingly, the Thunder NOT holding out their early-twenties superstar to match the Mavs' 32 year old one. #enjoyitwhileyoucankids
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Shawn Marion instantly recognizable among the new faces because a seagull has pooped on his head, or something.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
TWO reverse layups in the early going? Is this a Mavs game?
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Haywood, nifty layup and the foul! Let's see how the FT coaching has been going...
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
uhhh.....still a work in progress
andytobo That's all the Mavs we got. There are no more Mavs. Score 20-18.
Second Quarter:
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
The Beard beardier, also hitting threes. Missed rotation. The D....maybe a work in progress.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
The world keeps fouling Dom Jones. Dom Jones is just the instrument of being fouled. #7ftssofar
Some sneaky good play by the youngsters---Roddy to Randle to Jones for a layup and one. #Yeahyoungfellas
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Not rushing to blame 71% Thunder shooting on absence of Chandler. He didn't usually cover the three-point shot anyway.

Roddy looks, at least, completely healthy, fearless and fast. Charge, Nazr on JET believe it or not.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Mavs trying to serve (delicious) youth, but Roddy dribbling for seconds then shooting three not in the playbook. Thunder shooting lightsout.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Now that sweet Roddy transition 3? THAT is in the playbook.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
The passing is what you and I need. It's all we need.
Roddy nottttt real close to Maynor on that (Maynor's) drive). Roddy not real close on fast break layup #Comeonyoungfella
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Mavs down 38-32 because the Thunder won't miss threes, but we're not sweating. #Heretoseetheshow
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Mahimni kills a human being with a charge, broadcasters make a "playing cards with Jerry Stackhouse" joke about physical violence. 38-32
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Took timeout to show girlfriend:tinyurl.com/c728umn #howyouknowit'spreseason
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Announcers comment on Aldrich's good fortune in being able to re-establish pivot foot three times. Mahimni o-board, missed layup #comeonyf
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Announcers make a "I never know what you're doing in there" joke. Delonte passes up a three, Mahimni hits an elbow jumper. #news
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Durant unveils a VERY Dirk-like shot. That's what I would do if I were him, too. #Scary
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
When you score 40 and the other guy scores 40 but HE does it when it matters and you're launching 30-footers, figure out what he's doing.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
That Roddy B three-point stroke is just beautiful. 58-51 OKC at half, but the Mavs are going young and are still showing some fine things.
Third Quarter:
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Odom and Marion doing pretty well on teh boards. Thunder 72-58, 7 left in the 3rd
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Come on, stop calling fouls. What is this, regular season basketball?
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Frankly, the Mavs doing this well without Brandan Wright is...
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Shawn Marion's first five foot teardrop of the night. Beauty.
VINCE CARTER WITH THE FACIAL
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Vince Carter, first Mav to ever go from the three-point line to the basket, get there, make layup #notreallybut
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Sorry, took a break to show girlfriend "Vince Carter's Top Ten Dunks" on youtube. #requiredreading
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Brother asks why I showed girlfriend that, Not That Guy Anymore. Still.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Just watched the video of T-Mac dunking on Shawn Bradley #wayleadsontoway
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Shawn Marion sneers on the bench. Doesn't need no stinkin' badge.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
ODOM FOR THREEeeeeee Mavs down by a lot.
Fourth Quarter:
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Start of the fourth, Mavs down 20, let's just enjoy the game eh?
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Jerome Randle thinks about a three....and then swishes it. Dang. No Drew Neitzel so far today, fyi
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
I love what Dom Jones is doing, but I reallllyyy doubt he'll get the major league whistles, just yet. Good shot by Roddy didn't fall.
GREAT pass by Roddy, wasted fast-break opportunity, made three by Dom Jones. #dangyoungones
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
RODDY BBBbbbb for three. Mavs suddenly within 9. Thunder probably not enjoying the memories inspired by this comeback.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Wow, just a terrific take by Roddy. Mavs within 6.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Thunder fans feeling fine because it's not a FIFTEEN point lead #alsoitspreseason
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Harden three, back to 9, Roddy turnover.
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Great play. Good defense, good redound, good outlet pass from Dojo to Roddy, good finish by Roddy

terrific pass from Randle to Ianimal and a dunk. Five point game!

Even with the bench in, watching a Mavs game in the 4th is the exact opposite of watching a Cowboys game.
7 minutes ago
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
Spark goin' a little bit out here, but quite the fourth quarter effort all the same
6 minutes ago
andytobo Andrew Tobolowsky
And that's it. A lot of interesting play, no stakes. Also, Kim Jong II died?
5 minutes ago
Thanks a lot!
Final thoughts: Not much chance to see what the Mavs will look like, but a lot of good stuff. Dom Jones was great, though again, not sure if he'll draw fouls like that when the season starts, and I think Roddy was really impressive. Liked Carter and Odom too. Even Jerome Randle looked verrrry comfortable with the ball. Lot more analysis coming your way from MMB.com, and thanks for joining.

Great character actor.
Met him(very briefly) while working on set Law and Order: SVU, also. Seemed like a nice guy.
