I really don't think they will be that good, atleast not for a while.

Agreed murph....It's almost looking like he's sort of being worked into a leadership role with the second unit.

[Dirkenstien]

On another side note, Orlando won tonight. Check out this stat line from the rook D. Howard

in 39 minutes he shot 6-11 for 12 points, had 10 boards, 2 assist, 3 steals, and 4 blocks..whew

[dude1394]

Dang, a 7 footer playing the point center. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Buries a pull-up 3. What a freak.

[Murphy3]

It's difficult to believe that Howard could block 4 shots in any game. Surely it must have mostly been guards that simply got in too deep.

[dude1394]

Show me stack!!! Nice hustle dirk.

[MavsFanFinley]

Dirk with 3 blocks.

[Dirkenstien]

Birdman just flew over 7-6 Bradley for an and one dunk....time to put Benga in

[mavs413]

Very nice end to that quarter.

[Murphy3]

...some defensive numbers
2 steals for dirk and Terry
3 blocks for Dirk
4 d-boards for stack and 5 for Dirk.

[alby]

houston 0-2

Why? Dunks happen. Bradley's playing solid ball. Just because someone dunks over him when he's trying to hustle back after helping someone else out does not mean that he needs to come out of the game. I suppose he could have just sat there and watched instead of trying to get back.

That guy is fun to watch.

[alby]

very good game going on over in kingjames's territory.. double ot

[alby]

someone bench bradley

[mavs413]

Anderson doesnt do anything else.
No need to make changes because of him.

[JLEEHASMUCHGAME]

STACK!

[Murphy3]

What a horrible call on the dirk travel.

[Cybertx]

hendu at 4 and dirk at 5

[JLEEHASMUCHGAME]

nowitzki stops and pops ...and drops!

[Cybertx]

mantis fouled out

[dude1394]

I notice that dirk has finally decided to wear a mouthpiece, probably got damn tired of having that front tooth knocked out.

[MavsFanFinley]

Howard (23) 4-9, 0-1, 3-3, 11pts, 4rbs, 1as

[madape]

This is what happens when you have a guy like Stackhouse coming off the bench.

'tis true Murphy, ...just looking for a reason to put Benga in I suppose

[DubOverdose]

19pt lead in the 4th. Stats show the Mavs dominating on offense and defense...does it look like that in the game, or just by the stats?

[Cybertx]

if you have a 17 points advantage get the damn rookie in

[mavs413]

I think any team leading by 19 points is dominating.

[mavs413]

who says Daniels doesnt pass on the break?
Nice dish there for a Stackhouse Dunk.

[Wiseman]

Mavs are shooting 53.8%!!!

[dude1394]

Pretty impressive. Second night of a back to back at the other teams home opener. However Baron Davis is the new stevie franchise, dumb as a rock.

[FilthyFinMavs]

Damn what did Fin and Devin do in order to get a seat on the bench tonight?

Understandable. I'd like to see the guy play. We might get our wish, but I think Booth will see PT before DJ. Booth has got to be a frustrated vet with getting no PT. However, Bradley is simply a better player.

Fin helped the Mavs to a huge lead. Nellie is wanting to limit his minutes whenever possible and tonight is the perfect chance. Harris lost PT to Terry tonight.

[Phil Helmuth]

im glad were N.ot A.lways S.ucking H.arcore on d this year.

I say he passes on the break he just never looks up but if he can find the open man without looking up then that's fine by me. He sure as hell fooled me on that play. I thought he was trying to get away from Baron but it seems as if he had the play planned from the get go.

[dude1394]

Damp is a big strong man. Nice to have a big guy who can roll to the basket and finish without going to a dipsy-doodle.

[dude1394]

Nice D mike, davis got bailed out.
