Not getting those rebounds on deffense.

[Bayliss]

Attack the basket Dirk. Quit settlin' for a jumper you aren't hitting.

[FilthyFinMavs]

Did I just see Stack be unselfish?

[Bayliss]

Can you tell that Dirk doesn't care about the Bobcats? He isn't doing anything on either side. Even though he has 3 blocks...

[twelli]

Good to see that we can extend the lead when Dirks hits zero points in a quarter...

[FilthyFinMavs]

I knew Sampson looked familiar. He looks like Ralph Sampson with cornrows.

[Windmill360]

Damp did absolutely nothing on that play.

[MavsFanFinley]

Mavs lead 79-66 after 3 quarters:

Howard (22) 4-9, 0-1, 8pts, 5rbs, 1as, 2tos

Dirk (29) 5-17, 0-3, 4-4, 14pts, 4rbs, 1as, 2tos, 3blks

Dampier (14) 0-2, 4-4, 4pts, 4rbs, 2as, 1to, 1blk

Terry (32) 5-7, 1-3, 11pts, 3rbs, 6as, 1stl, 1blk

Finley (33) 7-12, 3-4, 1-2, 18pts, 1rb, 1as, 1blk

Bradley (10) 2-3, 4pts, 3rbs, 1to, 2blks

Stackhouse (18) 5-8, 0-1, 4-4, 14pts, 3rbs, 2as, 1to

Harris (4) 0-1, 0-1, 1as, 1stl

Henderson (18) 3-3, 6pts, 4rbs

[FilthyFinMavs]

Dirk and Henderson aren't even contesting shots anymore.

[Windmill360]

This guy is gonna shoot threes till someone stops him. Cats are comming back I can feel it.

[mercury_rev]

Bobcats are a scrappy team, for sure.

[Windmill360]

If only Dirk would make his shots we would have this game secured.

[Windmill360]

Forced shots by Mavs. Crowd getting into it. Cats hitting their shots. Momentum Cats.. Kapono brought them back into this game.

[twelli]

Aren't we supposed to be in cruise control by know?

[Windmill360]

^^ We fell asleep at the wheel on a wide turn.

[Bayliss]

Dirk has looked horrible offensively tonight.

[NoHeartIncluded]

time for a 4th quarter hero to step up!

[MavsFanFinley]

I figured by the time they gave Fin another shot, he'd miss.

He is 7 of 22 on FGM

[twelli]

If we lose this game let's see if there are as many posters blaming Avery as there would be blaming Nellie...

[FilthyFinMavs]

This might be Dirk's worst game of the season.

[mercury_rev]

Okafor has more offensive boards (8) than the entire Mavs.

[Windmill360]

We NEED a stop right here and it's as good as done.

*Holy Crap I thought that reality show was real.

[Windmill360]

Terry is the most clutch player on the team IMO.

[HexNBA]

JT is the man

[NoHeartIncluded]

THANK YOU JET! there's the hero we needed!

[Windmill360]

Man we dodged a bullet.

[StrikerV]

NOW TELL ME THAT WASNT HEART POUNDING

Did you see that? It was amazing. I thought Finley was on the bench and for most of the time he was in the game. As if no one saw him. This happens everytime. They don't give him the ball for a quarter than when the 4th quarter in the clutch comes they expect him to save them.

[MavsFanFinley]

Mavs win 105-99:

Howard (29) 4-12, 0-2, 3-4, 11pts, 6rbs, 1as, 1to

Dirk (40) 7-22, 0-4, 6-6, 20pts, 9rbs, 2as, 3tos, 3blks

Dampier (21) 1-4, 6-10, 8pts, 6rbs, 2as, 1to, 2blks

Terry (42) 8-11, 1-3, 17pts, 4rbs, 7as, 1stl, 1blk

Finley (41) 8-14, 3-4, 1-2, 20pts, 1rb, 2as, 1blk

Bradley (10) 2-3, 4pts, 3rbs, 1to, 2blks

Stackhouse (27) 5-9, 0-1, 9-9, 19pts, 4rbs, 2as, 1to

Harris (6) 0-1, 0-1, 1as, 1stl

Henderson (24) 3-3, 6pts, 4rbs

[Max Power]

Is there any word on Bradley? He looked like he aggravated his injury.

[Windmill360]

He was working out on the bike after he went out but I don't think he went back into the game.

Shawn looked fine at the end of the game. He walked off the court afterward. I'm sure he'll be available on Sunday.

[EricaLubarsky]

Scary! I just got back from dinner and watched the game.

How can you not be totally enamored with Jason T.??

[DubOverdose]

Terry was amazing. Bradley was a great shotblocker when he played.

I don't know. I certainly have a man-crush on him.

[EricaLubarsky]

December:

Terry 17ppg 59% shooting, 48.6% 3pt shooting, 6.4apg, 4.1rpg

[FilthyFinMavs]

I got bashed for saying this on another board but Terry IMO has outplayed the Nash that played here last season.

I'll take 9 blocks a game any day of the week.
A couple of thoughts on this one:

Okafor is a stud and this team is going to out-scrap some pretty good teams on its own floor.

Nice to see that AJ isn't afraid to get in Finley's face if he makes a mistake.

Damp made a couple of really nice plays to notch his two assists and the mavs could be really dangerous in the playoffs if he keeps it up.

[DubOverdose]

I'm liking JT more than Nash honestly. Nash is better at running an offense for sure, but Terry GETS IT DONE! When the Mavs really need a basket, Terry pulls through. When nobody else on the team can hit a shot, HE makes a shot. He is VERY clutch and isn't afraid to take the team on his back.
