Dallas Mavericks

First I would like to recognize the accomplishments of the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks.  It was been quite a show watching these teams make it to the NBA Finals and I believe it will be a fantastic match-up.

owen's days of "Kobe stopping" (which he never really did anyway) are far behind him.

5-Dallas Mavericks; 29-20, 7th in the West

They may be seventh in the West, but the Mavs are surging having won their last four, including victories over formidable opponents like the Orlando Magic, to name one. Dallas appears to be putting it together under underrated head coach Rick Carlisle, and Josh Howard and Brandon Bass are back in the swing of things offensively.

March of the Spurs  11/05/08

0-3

Those numbers do not look good.  Three games into the season and the Spurs have yet to win a game.  Is it time to panic?  Clearly, it's not.  However, do any Spurs fans remember going 0-3 this early in the season?  Tim Duncan and Tony Parker are doing their part.  Roger Mason Jr. and George Hill played well.  This was George's first game, and there were some positive things, but where are the rest?  17 point loss, this does not sit well with the Maverick haters in the San Antonio area.  As I'm sure I'll say all month, we miss Manu.  He is the missing piece of the puzzle that has resulted in an early defeated season.  Never have I craved for December as much as I am now, unless you count my childhood days.  But much like Santa Claus, Manu could very well deliver wins as much needed gifts early in the season.  Still 79 games to go, so 0-3, statistically not bad.  Win one though, ok?

Every expert on television, news columnist, sports reporter to your chat room and forum users all say the Houston Rockets can go deep into the playoffs if A: They can keep Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming healthy and B: If Ron Artest can keep his composure on and off the court. Earlier tonight, if a single game was any indication; Rockets fans will have something to cheer about in late April and May and fellow NBA teams can expect Houston to be a legit threat all season.

hinks the NBA has too many teams that wear blue.  Off the top of my head they are:

Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic, Memphis Grizzles, Atlanta Hawks (that was recent), Golden State Warrios, New Jersey Nets, Cleveland Cavilers (they wear the blue alternate more than the red aways), New York Knickerbockers, Detriot Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Charlotte Bobacts, New Orleans Hornets, Minnesota Timberwolves (who also got new unis), Utah Jazz, and now the Oklahoma City Thunder (I still hate that name).  I did not count the Philadelphia 76ers, or the Los Angles Clippers, because I know they had blue alternates, but I wasn't quite sure if they still wearing them for this coming season.

Top of the afternoon to everyone today.  I have a big mouth and love to run it.  It gets me in trouble sometimes, but I don't care about that.  What I do care about is sports.  I w

    Hello Mavericks fans, it’s been an emotional week. The Mavs were on a 5 game win streak heading into Utah on Wednesday, and I’m not going to pretend I expected the Mavericks to win this game. Utah has played exceptional all season especially, in Salt Lake. However, that being said, the Mavericks fell apart on offense. They shot 33% FOR THE GAME! That is terrible, worse than terrible.

So here is your twenty-six game report.

Let's start with what we know about the Dallas Mavericks: nothing. Okay, we know a couple of things. However, if you take everything we know and shine a light on it, what you end up looking at is, well, nothing. At least nothing of any significance. But let’s try anyway.

The Dallas Mavericks have opened the season 16-9. By comparison, the Mavs didn’t lose their ninth game until January 25th last season. And that was after starting out 0-4.

The most glaring reason for this drop off is a lack of production from reigning MVP, Dirk Nowitzki. On the surface Dirk’s numbers (21.4 pts, 8.3 rebs, 3.8 asts) aren’t bad. But in actuality, Nowitzki’s game doesn’t pack the same punch it has over the past several seasons.
