Shut It Down! Let's Go Home!

Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki was recently out 4 games in order to get back into playing shape.  During that time he sat in on the Mav's announcer table and had some epic comments during a 2nd quarter JET to Brandon Wright alley-oop. Apparently, the oop was so good that Dirk advised everyone to shut it down and go home.  The oop put the Mavs up 37-31 over the Timberwolves and with over half the game remaining it was obvious that the Mavs were going to win the game.  Oops have a way of doing that.

The problem is that the Mavericks ended up losing 90-105 at home.  David Khan is glad that they didn't shut it down.

Warriors vs. Mavs: 2/8/10 orangino edit

Ever since the We Believe Team "shocked the world" in the 2007 playoffs (playoffs?) the Dubs/Mavs rivalry has brought out some well played and entertaining basketall. Though the Warriors have fewer guys from 2007 on the current roster than the Mavericks (I miss Jazzy Cabbages), the effort that only a rivalry can bring was there last night. For 41 minutes of this game, the Dubs were the better team. Their lead hovered between 6 and 13 points all game as Morrow was splashing tres, Curry was dishing and hitting, and Monta was having a typical Monta-like game. After a 98-90 3rd quarter lead, the Warriors became, well, The 2010 Warriors.

JET Terry went off for 36 points with 6 Tres, 6 Boardbounds, 9 Helpers and 3 Swipe-a-roo's. With Dirka not playing a great game, Terry's effort led the Mavs' charge. I could have predicted this effort as the day before the Mavericks practiced at The Olympic Club, where I am a member. As they were walking down the hall towards the gym I overheard Terry talking to rookie Rodrigue Boubois saying "man, I'm playing better than I ever have before in my career". I then said "Hey JET!" as he walked by and he responded "hello, Sir." I couldn't quite figure out if he was mocking me or if he could really tell that I was that older than him (by 2.5 months). Regardless, it was obvious that JET was feeling good and playing well.

Hookers N' Cheese and The Fog Raw then went to the game. Face? Maybe not. It was a pretty "great time out" until those last 7 minutes. Monta hurt his knee, The Mavs played to their potential, and Don Nelson crapped the bed. Henceforth/therefore, the Mavs win 127-117.

Be sure to enjoy the end of the orangino edit. Hilarity.

Warriors at Dallas: 2.3.10 oragino edit

Monta puts up a carrier high 46 on 19 shots. He also goes 4/5 from three. He hits a behind the backboard AND 1 swish that was twice as cool as Kobe's. Whoa Boy!

An inspired comeback by the Dubs who got within 3 in the 4th quarter. But when you have CJ Watson trying to make things happen in the half court set and Devin George's carcass playing crunch time minutes, you're just not going to have a chance vs. The Mavs and their balanced attack. The losing streak continues!
