When is it appropriate to start thinking playoffs? The first game of the season. Getting to the playoffs is the goal of every team, or at least should be. So judging the competition and evaluating performance of your team in terms of the playoff picture makes sense. How is the conference playing out? Who are...
If only there was another team in Dallas that could come back from a large deficit to win the game. Hmm. The game against Minnesota showed me 3 things: Dallas can be a better defensive team, but it’s going to take a lot work. Minnesota has some talented players that they can build on. Kevin...
Dallas (4-7) 96 at Houston (7-4) 86 Yes, 3 wins in a row is a winning streak. Although the first two may have seemed like gimmes against the Knicks and Bobcats, Dallas traveled to Houston and beat the best team defense on their own court. Sure the Rockets were without Yao Ming and have an...
Dallas (3-7) 100 at Charlotte (3-6) 83 The Mavericks won their second game in a row by overwhelming advantage of talent emphasised by the Bobcats being without Jason Richardson (day-to-day with an ankle injury). Charlotte, without an inside presense, was dominated inside losing the rebounding battle 50 to 34. Erick Dampier played less than 20...
There’s been two major trades effecting top Western Conference teams… and Jason Kidd has yet to leave New Jersey. Pau Gasol was traded to the LA Lakers in an apparent fire sale, and Shaq will join the Pheonix Suns (and probably immediately miss 24 games due to injury). The trades say a lot about the...
Just like the Mavs finished up the Grizz in quick fashion, I’ll be knocking down some Quick Shots of my own: – Eddie Jones appears to be the definition of ‘fouls in bunches’. He can’t stay on the floor long enough to contribute amassing fouls 2-3 at a time, it seems. Not that the savvy...
Over his 13 year career Jerry Stackhouse has proven himself a consistent offensive presence in the NBA tallying over 15,000 points and an 18.8 points per game average. He’s been the Dallas Mavericks 6th Man going on 4 years providing immediate scoring off the bench, and lockerroom leadership. He’s a valuable member of a squad...
The Dallas Mavericks have started their season in a less than spectacular fashion, but it’s far from worrisome. The team is comprised of All-Star quality performers, and roll players that are devoted to team play. They are capable of explosive offense and shut down defense, and have one of the most intense coaches in NBA...
