Dirk Makes The One-Legged Euro Lean-Back And Says, 'I'm Proud Of This Team' | DB.com
"That's my most comfortable spot on the floor," said Dirk, who received Kidd's inbounds pass with 3.1 seconds left in overtime with his back to the basket at the top of the key. "I am able to operate there pretty good." Everybody knows the spin is coming. ... But nobody can stop it. The UberMan did spin (to his left; that's another thing he and Jennings have in common) and The One-Legged Euro Lean-Back was released with 1.3 seconds left. It took that much time for it to finally find the net. ... but when it did, Dirk had scored 32 and had bettered Jennings...
Behind the Box Score, where the Hawks are rolling | Ball Don't Lie - Kelly Dwyer
Dallas, an older team on the second half of a back-to-back, walked into Milwaukee and put up 115 points per 100 possessions.

This isn't to say the team won't drag during some four-game-in-five-night endeavor before the All-Star break — every team does — but we do know for sure that these Mavericks have the mettle to work through those tired legs.
Scatterhooping: Mavs 115, Bucks 113 (OT) | ESPN Dallas - Jeff Wade

So long as that energy and effort is there, I suppose I can live with some of that shot selection that gives me an ice cream headache -- and I'm having that thought on a night when Gooden goes 9-13 from the floor.

Marion Update | DMN
When he came out near the end of the first quarter, he got the ankle re-taped, but then wrapped up a heating pad on it to keep it warm, then re-entered the game with 6:03 to go in the second quarter. Moments later, he exited the game for good and was limping noticeably after the game. "It happened on the first play, and that thing hurt," Marion said.
