GDT: 4-1-2010 Magic versus Mavs 7 p.m. central
Mavs have a very tough game tonight for the second night of a back to back coming off of an overtime game.
The crowd really needs to "get into it" and the Mavs might can feed off the energy/atmosphere.

Heavy minutes from Kidd, Dirk and Terry yesterday, so Butler and Marion has to step up, same with our center.
Lets hope we can defend the three well and Dwight get some early fouls...

We really need big games from Haywood/Damp in order to control Dwight (well, you can't control him completely) and the paint. Gonna be very tough. Orlando is a good team and it's the 2nd night of a b2b with the first one going to OT. A win would be great, but I wouldn't be too surprised if we lose. Don't get me wrong, I want a victory, but it's going to be difficult.

Tonight is the last time I'll miss a game because of work! Pretty excited about that. (It's even better since it's on TNT so I'll secretly be watching on our TV).

Fing DVR broseph! Get with it.
Since it's on TNT and a back to back I expect epic failure followed by Chuck and Kenny bashing them to death. Man I would love to be so wrong. Generally I like the way we play the Magic, I think they have our full attention every time we play them at least.

I think the magic haven't played since Sunday and we're coming off wins against denver and woke up in the 4th/OT against the grizz. Should be a W for us, need to start killing folks at home.

This is going to be a very, very tough game to win. However, I really think the Mavs match up well with Orlando. So we shall see.

Hate to be a pessimist, but I'm bracing myself for a loss here. Hope I get surprised!

They just gotta stick to the idea that they have very capable centers to help try to work on Howard. I've always believed with the Magic or elite teams, stick to the complimentary players and let the star do what he does. If you can defend the 3 point line and make Vince have to work extra hard, then you've got a pretty decent chance of beating the Magic.

I will never give any team an excuse for losing the 2nd of back to backs no matter what. Not after GSW with 6-7 players playing 40 minutes, the night before, come in and beat the Mavs the 2nd night. There's just no excuse for it after that happened to us here, in Dallas. OT, age, forget it, it's the NBA and you're battling for playoff advantages. It's balls to the wall tonight. I would game plan the same way last time out, where we did not double Howard, let him work himself to death, guard the shooters on the perimeter.

We have 12 fouls ammo to fire at Dwight Howard. USE it!!! put him on the line and let him prove it. We cannot. Cannot afford to double him and let them play their game of lighting up 3s. If they're on, it's extremely dangerous. lastly, Win!!

With Dan Crawford it means our center are able to touch Dwight 12 times...

This is another contender. We'll beat them. I'd worry if it was the Knicks or the Nets, but its not.

That's how we b eat them last time, Howard got his all night, he worked for it, but single coverage all night, the bombers were covered man to man. If RC gets off that basic defensive philosophy can him.

Sure, Barea, an awesome ankle, right.... next thing you know the ankle will be "LeBron-like"... you just wave that towel and make sure Roddy gets his Gatorade on.
