PGT: Mavs beat Dubs in home closer

[Underdog]

A season-high 17 points on 8-9 shooting, 7 rebounds and a block in just 17 minutes - looks like he's getting hot at the wRight time...

[Underdog]

West (33) was the only Maverick to play over 27 minutes tonight - Carlisle keeping everyone fresh, but active.

[sefant77]

Never had a chance to overtank the Warriors anyway

[BGMaverick9]

Jason Kidd is doubtful for tomorrow's game against the Bulls. It's likely to be a scheduled game of rest for him.

BG... btw, any more details on your book?

It's in the project thread....april 27

[chumdawg]

I reckon we just got some sweet revenge from the last time!

Postgame observation: Azubuike is built like an f'n linebacker.

[Melonhead]

Mavs rocking and rolling

[deamon]

Only Wright with big balls?
Carter 19pts, 9 rebs, 3as, steal, block. Best in ,,+/-". Again player of the game.

[G-Man]

Just the kind of game I wanted...basically a glorified scrimmage. Glad to see guys who we need to get better, like Carter and Wright showing some consistency.

Thanks for the heads up...

Probably a good idea, but I like it better when he's playing... I think Carlisle might be doing this as much for Roddy as he is for Kidd, smart move all the way around... I'd imagine Roddy will get a lot of minutes in Atlanta as well...

As for this game, I thought it was pretty good really... I mean they pretty much coasted the whole game, and if their three's had been falling even a little, it would have been a blowout... It's a good sign to play mediocre and still win with relative ease... The Mavs seemed to have a lot of games like that last season, but not very many this season...
