GDT: Mavs @ Nets - January 22nd - 6 PM CST/7 EST
Lets go and get them! Always interesting to see lots of familiar faces against the Nets.
Still.... we need a win! And then a streak....
TV Schedule
Away: FSNSouthwest-Dallas Home: YES Network

TIME: 07:00 P.M. EST
VENUE: Prudential Center
With the trade rumors behind them, the New Jersey Nets are having no trouble moving forward.
After matching their victory total from last season, the Nets look to win three in a row for the first time in almost two years while trying to avoid a fifth straight loss to the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night.
Hours after owner Mikhail Prokhorov ended trade talks with Denver and Detroit on a deal that would have landed star Carmelo Anthony in New Jersey, the Nets (12-31) snapped a six-game skid with a 103-95 win over Utah on Wednesday.
Two nights later, New Jersey put itself in position to surpass its win total from last season with an 89-74 victory over Detroit.
After winning back-to-back games once in 2009-10, the Nets have done it three times this season. New Jersey has not won three straight since a four-game run Jan. 31-Feb. 7, 2009.
Though New Jersey has not beaten Dallas since December 2008, its recent confidence boost could help end that drought.
Nets players admitted the trade talks were becoming a distraction. When Prokhorov announced the deal was off, it seemed a collective sigh of relief fell over the club.
"It becomes a distraction at some point when it's constantly talked about," said guard Devin Harris, who appeared to be headed to Denver. "All we can do is focus and try and improve our record."
That's shown the last two games with the Nets shooting 49.6 percent while holding the Jazz and Pistons to 84.5 points on 37.5 percent shooting.
Brook Lopez had 15 points while Kris Humphries added 11 with 12 rebounds and Anthony Morrow scored 10 after missing 17 games with a hamstring injury.
Lopez scored 24 points, Morrow had 21 and Humphries 16 with 13 rebounds in a 102-89 loss at Dallas on Dec. 9.
Dallas (27-15) has averaged 107.0 points on 53.0 percent shooting during its four-game winning streak against the Nets. However, the Mavericks have averaged 90.6 points while losing seven of eight overall.
One night after snapping a six-game skid with a 109-100 win over the Lakers, the Mavericks shot a dismal 35.6 percent in Thursday's 82-77 loss at Chicago.
"I don't care how much defense you play, at some point you have to put the ball in the basket," guard Jason Terry told the Mavericks' official website.
Dirk Nowitzki had a team-high 19 points but has averaged 18.0 - 5.4 below his season average - in four games since missing nine with a knee injury.
"Just gotta get my legs under me and just work my way back into it," Nowitzki said. "It's probably gonna take a few more games but it's improving."
Nowitzki has enjoyed playing in New Jersey where he's averaged 27.2 points the last six trips.
While the Nets opted not to acquire Anthony, the Mavericks could be close to signing veteran forward Peja Stojakovic after he agreed to a buyout with Toronto on Wednesday.
Dallas can use help at the small forward position after Caron Butler suffered a season-ending knee injury on New Year's Day.
"With Stojakovic, you're talking about one of the great shooters," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said.
Plagued by knee problems, Stojakovic averaged 8.1 points in eight games with the Raptors this season.

Most likely a loss. Weird that they beat the Jazz,imo. Don't know how Chandler's feeling, but I'm guessing from Dirk's comments that his knee is still a concern. That could be a problem.
Won't be surprised at all if they lose to the Nets.

Marv just said the Mavs had the NBA's best record of 67-22 in 2007. I didn't know the schedule was 89 games that year.

Sure, I also go out and it wasn't a complaint at all. But even on Saturdays (if I'm here ) I'm used to a few more people around here

We could as well put Cardinal in the game - you would see no difference.
I guess he´s still not even near to being 100 percent healthy.

He got poked in the eye one time and managed to drain the two ensuing free throws.

Some of Dirk's shots are narrowly missing the net and bouncing off of the rim. He needs to adjust his shot again a bit and he will make them, I'm sure.
