I expect to see a hard fought game tonight.
A mans game.
I look to the Centers, who were AWFUL against the Pacers. I look for one Gana Diop, to help enormously on Mr. Timmy D. I look for early foul trouble on Damp.
I look for another 4th quarter worthy of the Mavs 2nd 12 game winning streak.
It's an easy to see letdown game, on the 2nd half of a back to back, after a game against a Pacers team that was not supposed to be that hard. But I dont think Avery will let them lose focus.
This is an easy one to chalk up to bad cirumstances. The Spurs are hungry. They don't lose 3 in a row....not ever
but I also look to the Mavs record in the 2nd half of back to backs this season.... 7-0?
Go Mavericks.

The Spurs are in for a royal ass-whipping today.
Mavs =an elite team and are playing like it.
Spurs =an elite team playing like...well...I don't think I can write what they are playing like without getting a big censor message from the moderators.
Regardless of who wins tonight--Mavs are better.

Our Laker refuge is better than your Laker cast-off.
Our Nellie pupil is better than your craterface coach.
Our PG dynamo is better than your french frog.
Our Superstar is better than your superwhiner.

Mavs play on the double feature screen, Spurs go straight to DVD
Mavs rumble in the jungle, Spurs got touched by their uncles
Mavs large like the Chargers the whole team, Spurs look like their fourteen
Tony it's time to let the world know, dude you gotta let your girl go.
Mavs are still the best in the business... P.S. we got dicks like jesus.

I'll be in SA with a big group of Mavs (and Spurs) fans representing. Let's do it.

The Dallas Mavericks should enjoy having just notched their second 12-game win streak of the season, extended with a home victory, 100-91, over the Indiana Pacers on Thursday.
Because just as Jason Terry's jet imitation takes off to celebrate Dallas success, there's also a time for such a glorious flight to end. It says here one of the three fairly difficult road games next on the schedule will signal the streak's end. Which one will it be? Dallas' foes to the south seem most likely.
• Friday at San Antonio. The Spurs were the eighth victim in the first Mavs win streak that ran from Nov. 9 to Dec. 1, after opening the season by sending their Texas rivals on a four-game losing streak. The Mavs are putting some distance between themselves and the Spurs, so Duncan and Co. should be motivated to keep pace.
• Sunday at Los Angeles Lakers. The current Mavs win streak began on Dec. 13 with a win over the Lakers. But all streaks come to an end, even the Lakers' record 33-game win streak, on Jan. 7, 1972. Some gave that run of yore their highest streak honor. This night just so happens to be the 35th anniversary of the end of the record Laker run.
• Tuesday at Utah: The last time the Mavs lost, it was at the hands of the Jazz. It was a thrashing in Salt Lake City, a 101-79 loss on Dec. 11. EnergySolutions Arena will be aglow for the Mavs.
So they'll lose on the road. Big deal. Becoming just the 36th team in NBA history that has had a double-digit win streak twice in the same season could be viewed as a sign of great things to come. This is a team that wouldn't mind it too terribly if it could get that elusive first title and oh, why not, become a dynasty.
"We're streaking," Frank the Tank famously declared while revealing his unsightly bareness in 2003's "Old School." Another pale and hairy guy named Dirk is into that too -- win streaking.
Now, in the unlikely event the Mavs get through those three games without losing, well, that's pretty good. And they would top the franchise record of 14 straight wins, set in 2002.
For perspective, last season's fast starter, the Pistons, were 28-5 at this point last year. Detroit had an 11-game win streak and a nine-game win streak, en route to a 64-18 mark. The Pistons took a playoff exit one stop short of meeting the Mavs.
But yet another win streak could be on the horizon for the Mavs, now 26-7. If they continue strong play, a third double-digit win streak could happen. Best chance could begin with a home game Jan. 27 against the Kings. The next nine include home games against the Sonics, Wolves, Grizzlies, Heat, Rockets, and road games at the Grizzlies, Sixers, Bucks and Rockets. And there's only one back-to-back to deal with. Odds? About 6 to 1 they do it.
Statistically speaking, John Hollinger style, a few Mavs players are looking good led by last year's PER champ, Dirk Nowitzki. He leads the way with five players above the average 15.00. He's third in PER, almost tied with the injured Yao. Other Mavs rankings: Josh Howard 19th, Jason Terry 44th, Erick Dampier 62nd and Devin Harris 95th.
And Hollinger tells Chad Ford why Dirk is the MVP so far . Howard's rise in PER makes him one of Hollinger's Most Improved Players. The drum is banging in Dallas for him to be an All-Star.
Also of note -- the Mavs shoot free throws well 80.39 percent on the season, second only to the Suns.
Dallas began this season on a four-game losing streak, looking hungover from last year's disappointment. The franchise record 20-game losing streak set in 1993 remains one mark in sports among the most likely to never fall.
Streak on, Mavs. ESPN editor Andrew Ayres didn't mention Game 3 once in this story.

My heart says Mavs win but it's gonna be really tough to pull it off.
Mavs will either win in OT or Spurs will win in a blowout. I hope for the former.

Well, Dirk being sick doesn't preclude him from having a big game... unless he's so sick that he can't play, which doesn't seem to happen often.

I think it is going to be a close one:
Mavs 91
Spurs 88
Player of the game??? Dirk, of course! 27 pts; 13 rebs; 5 assists
Duncan: 1,274 tears; 11 arm flails; 4 conferences with the refs
Stat of the Game: Manu with 7 flops! Let's count'em.

2 hours 9 minutes and I am geeked.
Honestly I don't feel good about the game. The Spurs have lost 2 in a row and it's hard to believe they could go 3.... I know we have the better team.... but Dirk didn't look right last night and that coupled with the Spurs are playing for pride AND to stop a losing streak means this is not going to be a cakewalk.
I'm thinking a result of Mavs 99, Spurs 97 myself. A win, but not by a large margin.

Some new faces around here (and not Spurs trolls), cool.
It seems like there are more and more big games during the regular season these days. The price of being the best team in the league, I suppose.
The key to this game, like most, is going to be Devin staying out of foul trouble. If he has 2+ fouls by the end of the first quarter it's going to be a long night. I thought he was starting to get more respect from the refs, but last night looked like a couple of years ago with a few of those calls.
