Looks like our old pal E-Damp.com will get to log in again. (Yes, E-Damp.com was the nickname I gave him in high school and whenever he made a good play, I yelled "E-DAMP.COM IS LOGGING IN, BABY. Yes, I know I'm not getting married, leave me alone.)

Jason Kidd was on the Ben & Skin Show a few minutes ago. Here is what he had to say:
---
On Playing vs. Denver: I gotta go through a practice first, [...] gotta see what happens today. [...] I feel a lot better and hopefully I'll be out there this week.
On Cryotherapy: I think cryotherapy is excellent for anybody, not just athletes. [...] I tried it out in April and I felt great throughout the playoffs.
In His First Cryotherapy: I wasn't scared, it was just something new. Just understanding [how it works]. Since you don't get wet, how do you get cold?
On Cryotherapy As Their Secret Weapon Last Year: We thought it was our secret weapon, because of what it did and how it made everyone feel. [...] We definitely used it during the Portland and L.A. series.
On Usage Frequency: I try to use it 2-3 times [per week], because if you go every day the body will become immune to it. You gotta make sure you don't abuse it.
On How Far Things Have Come Technology Wise: Yeah, it's night and day. I mean we still use ice bags, [...] but you can see now the technology of the cutting edge medicine of being able to get into these different chambers and see your body heal and also be able to perform at a higher level as you get older.
On Barkley's Comments: Everybody is different and I think Dirk is far from gone. We all have gotten up to a slow start, but look were right there at the 6th place I think. And we still haven't played anywhere close to [what we're capable of]. We all understand, coming into the second half [of the season] we all want to be healthy [...] and have the opportunity to defend our title.

""The rest is just hard work," said Nowitzki, who is showing up at the Mavs' practice court for nightly workouts with longtime mentor Holger Geschwindner.

"Every series of slumps, one of them's gotta be the worst," Cuban said. "One of them's gotta be bad, so that's what this is. I'm not worried about it at all. He's frustrated. His shot's not going. It's probably in his head some, but Holger just got to town. They'll work together. I'm not worried about it even a little bit.""
