[MavsFanFinley]

I was wondering if anyone planned on watching the game? It's on 5pm CT on NBAtv.

If so, would you please post comments here for the rest of us?

Thanks.

Josh Howard will not play because of a right thumb sprain. I imagine it is a **cough **cough** fluke one day injury **cough** **cough**

niether Howard or Daniels played. Looks like we will be signing Daniels. I'm very glad and if we can make some nice moves with our bench, we could see a difference next year. But not a big one. I do like the Daniels signing, of course that is if it happens, but I think him not playing makes that a 'sure' thing.
