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!
