[Underdog]

Dirk looks like he wants to sit out the 4th quarter - dude is nailing everything right now.

[Skywalker]

Holger.

[HopeIsAlwaysThere]

Holger is back - Dirk is back
Rondo is back - Mavs is back

GO MAVS!

Yeah, great line... I think these announcers are talking more about Holger than Orlando at this point.

[bilease]

Man if Dirk wouldve made his open shots like that all year long... Just hope he can keep that up for the playoffs

[yahyes]

Dirk's about set for a playoff run. Now a Parsons and Aminu combo can finish it.

[Underdog]

DIRK IS BACK, BABY!!!

[Five-ofan]

its amazing what dirk making shots does for this offense

[Underdog]

Mavs playing some great defense on those last few possessions.

[Underdog]

More Dirk splashes.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Dirk just cares more now as does most of the team.

Great heads-up play by CV.

[Underdog]

CV filling in nicely for Dirk right now.

[Underdog]

Mavs getting a bit complacent in their lead -- down to 7.

[yahyes]

Parsons needs to stop hiding on offense. On some instances when Dirk rests. This can would be over already.

[sefant77]

so unlucky...Ellis jumper was half through and Aminu had a clean block

[HopeIsAlwaysThere]

Where is parsons in the second half?

[Dnowit41]

damn it rondo

[Five-ofan]

how is dirk not at the ft line?

[HopeIsAlwaysThere]

Why always make the game so exciting?

[sefant77]

Aminu with a man rebound

[Skywalker]

Big daddy TC!!

[sefant77]

Whats wrong with Montas 4th quarter FT....

[FreshJive]

I have only been able to watch parts of this game. What did Parsons do to get benched?

[jleefilled]

I wonder why parsons can't get in the game.

LOL. The Mavs were never even trailing and Rondo played elite defense down the stretch. And Rondo was the best guard on the roster.

Nope. That goes to Ellis.

You do realize Ellis was like 2-11 in the 2nd half, had two assists, and made absolutely zero defensive plays, right?

His shtick with Rondo no longer works now that he's actually adjusted to his team mates.

I'm not a fan of Ellis ball down the stretch - it's a bit frustrating to watch him put up dumb shot after dumb shot.

Yeah, even when he makes them, I rarely think Ellis gets really good looks from midrange late in games. That's kind of the rub with him... he is great at getting in the lane but doesn't seem to get very many calls, and when he continues to get fouled he stops driving and ends up shooting a high volume from like 40% range.

I still think he's worth bringing back if you can find a reserve role for him (or if you replace Rondo with both a quality point guard that is also a very good fit next to Ellis... easier said than done).

I still think a simple move like signing Ellington as a starter and move Ellis to a Terry/Carter role would work for this team next season.

Are you talking about the same Ellington that couldn't get off the bench last season for the Mavs and put up mediocre stats for the sh!tty Lakers this season??... Asking for a friend who happens to be mentally disabled (don't make fun!)
