I missed the third quarter due to a good conversation with my wife. Yes, there are some things more interesting than basketball.

In the end, the Mavs win. LeBron had a pitiful night. Devin Harris looked good and so did Diop (at least, in the first quarter), but the show stealer was Jason Terry, the old starting guard and new 6th Man of the Dallas Mavericks. Terry was lights out from three point range. He finished with 24 points on the night.

Dirk was decent, though not stellar. His rebounds and blocks made up for less scoring. Jerry Stackhouse was the second highest scorer for the Mavs tonight.

We move on to face the Atlanta Hawks next. Oh boy. What a thriller that will be. Can you sense the monotone in my voice right now? The Hawks are one of those teams that the league should just disband on principle. How many years of suck do you have to prove before they bump you down to Division One NCAA status? Even that might be a bit ambitious for the Hawks.

Anyhow, check back soon for more Mavericks news!

The Mavs are up at the start of the 2nd Quarter:

Brandon Bass goes to the freethrow line for the second time in the game. He’s making solid moves toward the basket. Hope he can follow through a couple times without a foul so I can get a feel for his style.

Devin Harris slashes to the basket to score a layup. Nice. Gotta love it when he does that. We’ve always known that he has the speed. Just waiting to see him execute repeatedly. Bass grabs a lose ball and takes it to the hole under pressure.

35-19 with 10 minutes remaining in the Second Quarter.

Haven’t seen anything out of Hassel yet. He’s been on the court for several minutes, but doesn’t seem to be much of a factor yet. Not impressed with Eddie Jones’ defense thus far either. Maybe he’s just sorely over-sized by LeBron.

With 46 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Dallas leads Cleveland 26-14. Gana Diop has 8 points in this first half – a very pleasant surprise.

It’s good to see Barea getting some minutes, although Jason Terry still brings the ball up half the time. Not sure if that’s habit or strategy. Speaking of, Terry just drained his second three pointer at the end of the first quarter.

LeBron James has yet to score. In case you couldn’t figure that out, that means their losing. Mavs are looking good.
