I was going to say the same thing! They've unbiased. They don't complain about missed calls or perceived missed calls like most teams' annoucners. My only complaint is one guy can't say Barea.

Down to a 13 point game. Mavs are obviously gonna win, but this is a pretty poor effort to close this thing out.

I think they are tapping on the brakes a bit to get some rest for the next game.

The 'cats are also playing their asses off and getting the benefit of the doubt from the refs. I've noticed at least 3 obvious blown calls in the 4th. Refs are definitely giving them respect based on energy which is fine. We still have this game though.

Dirk drains the 3. That's 32 points.

[LonghornDub]

GREAT putback dunk by Shawne.

[Bayliss]

And Dirk put the nail in the coffin.

[monty55555]

Wow! Nice dunk by Williams! He's been good this game.

[Dim499]

Had Augustin made that layup I would have won the teased down over/under of 184.5. :/

[Bayliss]

Dirk drains the 3.

Ice the knees... drain the 3s...

[horse900703]

YES! good win! good luck tomorrow night

[LonghornDub]

Bobcats have some fairly nice looking dancers.

over all a good game. Game tightened up a bit due to turnovers. But, they overall kept the turnovers down and kept the shooting fouls down. Turnovers and free throws were a wash in the game. Great rebounding, lots of second chances. Shot 50% from the field. Can't hardly lose playing like that.

Interesting to see the emergence of Singleton/Bass as the alternative center to Dampier. Dampier had a lot of boards in short minutes. He scored a bit too. Damp had 11 boards and 6 points whereas Bass and Singleton combined for 8 boards and 13 points. Pretty darned good combined stats for the 3 playing center. Now, I know that Bass played some minutes when Dirk rested. But, still, seeing Damp, Singleton, and Bass combine for 19 boards and 19 points is nice.

We'll see what happens when we play a team with a real center. The last two teams we beat emphasizing Bass and Singleton did not have real centers to contend with.

We'll see what happens when we need Diop to back up Dampier...

But, we may be in a situation where our best two options at center are:
1)Dampier with traditional ball style
2)Singleton/Bass with small ball game

Also noted that JKidd did not even try to score. He just made things happen. Nice game without a flashy boxscore.

Liked that Green started again. Keep feeding the kid. He'll grow into a ball player.

I didnt watch the game... but was the 10 points allowed in the first a record for the mavs?

I'm 7 minutes into the game and Green has played perfectly so far. Waaay better than we could have ever expected before the season started.
