The Stars have a tough stretch ahead of them to keep the momentum going. They will immediately take the ice again tonight for another match against Edmonton, and then return home for a 3-game stand with the Avalanche, Coyotes & Red Wings. And while many people may argue that schedule isn’t filled with the conference’s top competitors (excepting the Red Wings, of course), the Stars are still playing with a very depleted roster, and even games that might once have been forgone conclusions will be closely contested.

And, the Avs may be starting to come together this season. After a host of setbacks (injuries, poor performances), similar to those of the Stars, Colorado is beginning to look pretty dangerous. They’ve won their last two games and look more like the team they were forcasted to be this season.

To quickly return to the Sean Avery issue - and I won’t stay here long - I’m interested in hearing what you all might think about how his role with the Stars in the future will be effected. Eklund (that anonymous hockey blogger) - has told me he believes this to be the ticket for Sean Avery out of Dallas. While I don’t know that I agree 100%, I can’t see how the rest of the team can welcome him fully back into the fold, when they didn’t seem to be very happy with him before the comments. Mike Modano’s response is also interesting:

“It’s unacceptable. Our perception around the league has been tarnished a bit. Our attitude with the refs has been rough this year. We don’t get the benefit of doubt because we’re very vocal in those areas. In the past, we’ve been a quiet, confident group, and we simply need to get back to that.”

Sean Avery has a guaranteed contract in Dallas, which limits how the Stars can react to this kind of situation. But, they still have the ability to place him on Waivers or trade him, if another team is willing to take this mess on. In a response about Avery’s return to the team, if that happens, Modano hinted that it might not be an easy thing:

It’s going to take some time. It certainly will be a situation we’ll have to address when that time comes … if it does.

I know Mo wasn’t 100% comfortable with the “C” on his chest, but those are the kind of quotes that come from a good captain. And I think the Stars should let him take this team again, and make it official. I also believe that Mark Parrish would make a nice “A” alternate as well to take Modano’s place.

I was confused as to why Cowboy fans felt the need to boo Julius Jones. Yeah, he may have had some words as he walked out the door, but did he really say or do anything while he was here to justify booing the man? I don’t think so.

As for the long-awaited matchup between Marion and Julius, well, there wasn’t much of a matchup. Sure Marion had a tocuhdown, but ouside of that, he wasn’t doing a whole lot, amassing 10 carries for 32 yards and 1 catch for 13 yards, with 1 touchdown rushing. Barber left the game early with a toe injury and is day-to-day as the Cowboys prepare for Pittsburgh.

Meanwhile, Julius had another day to forget. On the Seahawks opening drive of the game, Jones put the ball on the ground and the Cowboys recovered, allowing Dallas to blow the game open. He wasn’t much of a factor the rest of the way, as he had 11 carries for 37 yards and 2 fumbles (1 lost). Once the Cowboys built a pretty good sized lead, there wasn’t much need for the Seahawks to run the ball.

This week, a HUGE game for the Cowboys as they head up to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers and Mother Nature, while the Seahawks continue to play out the string against what is sure to be an ornery bunch of Patriots in Seattle.

To say Julius Jones was a non-factor in that game would be doing non-factors a disservice. Jones was scheduled to start, but only received 2 carries for 21 yards, which were his only touches for the day. Jones seems to have fallen out of favor with outgoing coach Mike Holmgren, in what was supposed to be a “prove it” kind of season for him after winning the starting role to begin the season. Injuries and other factors have lessened the impact Julius has on the Seahawks offense to the point that he can barely get on the field now. Jones is hopeful he will have some kind of impact on Thursday’s game, but we’ll have to see if Holmgren gives him the opportunity.

Meanwhie, the Cowboys were at home Sunday, taking care of business against the 49ers. Marion Barber had a solid, if unspectacular effort in the game, carrying 19 times for 59 yards and catching 7 passes for 50 yards. The 49ers did a good job of bottling up the Cowboys running game, making Barber a virtual non-factor for most of the game. Tashard Choice was able to get a few carries this game, whivh will hopefully start lightening the load Barber as the Cowboys make their push toward the playoffs.

This week is Turkey Week, as the Cowboys play host to the Seahawks Thursday afternoon. If you can’t go to the game, be sure to grab your grub and huddle around the set for a day full of football!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Until you get jammed and still show us the goods, you’re just a diva who won’t dive or jump for balls. And though the refs didn’t see it, everyone else saw your shove that gave you enough room to catch one of your longer passes yesterday.

So congratulations. You helped the Cowboys win. But did you see what Randy Moss did yesterday? ’nuff said.

Tony Romo’s return to Cowboys allowed Marion Barber to be more of a threat running the ball and did it ever show. Barber finished the game with 114 yards on 24 carries with 1 touchdown and added 39 yards on 6 receptions. Barber’s running was crucial late in the game against the Redskins as he was able to lead the way in grinding out the clock for a 14-10 victory in Washington.

Meanwhile, in Seattle, Matt Hasselbeck returned to the Seahawks, but the results weren’t quite the same as they lost to the Cardinals 26-20. Julius Jones had another day to forget as he rushed 10 times for just 19 yards, caught a pass that was good for -5 yards and lost his first fumble of the season. For the Seahawks’ sake, hopefully Jones is able to work out whatever issues he is having in the offense.

This Sunday, the Cowboys are at home for a high-noon showdown with the 49ers while the Seahawks host the Redskins.

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 ailing Ron Artest and Tracy McGrady (of course) but a win is a win. And a streak is a streak. And like Kevin Costner said in Bull Durham ‘You don’t f*** with a winning streak.’

Another well managed game by Rick Carlisle kept Dallas playing smart and up-tempo basketball throughout. Dallas wasn’t running at every opportunity, but his style is showing through by limiting those one-touch-and-shoot possessions. It seems the team is understanding that when they run their plays, manage the game, play team defense, and stay positive that they are capable of winning.

With Yao Ming out of the game and TMac limping Houston didn’t have a go-to-guy. Ron Artest was effective on the boards but never got into offensive rhythm, thanks mostly to Shawne Williams defense. Williams was only 2 for 11 from the field but played 31 mins because of how he was playing Houston’s biggest threat. Artest, hobbled by a bad ankle, couldn’t separate from the quick Williams who stayed in front of him and contested every shot. Houston had few others to rely on as Alston, Brooks, and Scola couldn’t score more than 16 pts a piece. The only other shooter on the roster, Brent Barry, was 0 for 6.

On the offensive end Dallas turned to Jason Terry off the bench to carry the team. With 31 pts 4 assists and 3 steals Terry put the team on his back and gave the Mavericks what they needed when they needed it. Adding Kidd’s 7 assists and Dirk’s 24 pts including 9-9 from the charity stripe Dallas marched on to victory.

Rick Carlisle’s group is really starting to show their mettle. The younger players are able to contribute not only consistent minutes, but quality minutes. As Jason Terry ensured points were going on the board Brandon Bass and Shawne Williams kept Luis Scola and Ron Artest at bay in the 4th quarter. It is clear that play on both ends of the court is expected from all players. In an important game for Dallas their method remained unchanged - under 40 mins for Dirk, Terry, and Kidd while no one played less than 14 minutes. This isn’t just team play, it’s team growth.

I have to admit this is a vast improvement over Avery Johnson’s methodology. If you remember the 06-07 season Johnson relied completely on one-on-one matchups and a slow pace to win games. That play did not prepare the Mavericks for the quick pace small-ball they faced in the 1st round of the playoffs against Golden State. In addition the players that needed minutes the most didn’t get them while older NBA standards Jerry Stackhouse, Devean George, and Austin Croshere played crunch time. Even in games that were blowouts. It was nonsensical to have players with years of experience play over younger talent that you needed to evaluate, and you can only really evaluate players in game situations (see Jermaine ONeal or even DeSagana Diop). The 06-07 team was touted for having a deep bench, but it was hardly used (in terms of minutes, not overall age).

Head coach Rick Carlisle has changed that and is developing these no-names. He got Shawne Williams from the Pacers in the off-season because he knew his potential. The same goes for Singleton and Green. These are trees that he thinks can bear fruit, and he’s going to give them time to do so. When you have two future Hall of Famers in Kidd and Nowitzki, an All-Star in Howard, and a proven shooter in Terry you have that opportunity and can still win games.

Let’s hope all that talent ripens come playoff time.

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 mins still pulled down 11 rebounds and had 3 blocks, while Josh Howard put up 21 pts in wonderful play within 17 feet. In a game that Dallas never trailed they were able to manage the tempo well except for one blemish - 17 turnovers.  Luckily Charlotte couldn’t advantage and the Mavs coasted to a win.

This game was closer than it should have been. The Mavericks lack of communication on defense kept the Bobcats hopes alive for a comeback. Poor switching and helping on the defensive end allowed some pretty easy baskets. Add that a cold shooting by Jason Terry and the Bobcats had the possesions to make it a competition, but didn’t convert. Charlotte’s rookie DJ Augustine made some very exciting plays and looks to be in the beginning of a very successful pro career. Without any help inside Charlotte’s going to have a tough year in the Western Conference.

Most impressive in this game was how head coach Rick Carlisle managed it from start to finish. The days of playing Dirk, Josh, and other starters 40 mins a game are gone. He settled the Mavericks into a decent 10 man rotation that allowed plenty of rest for the big name guys while giving much needed experience to the teams younger talent. No player was in for less than 13 mins including one lineup, which was surprisingly effective, of JJ Barea, Terry, Howard, Bass, and James Singleton.

Minutes:

Dirk 37, Howard 35, Terry 34, Kidd 33, Bass 24

Dampier 19, Singleton 16, Barea 15, Green 14, Williams 13

Dallas shot 50% from the field and everyone got a chance to contribute. Dirk and Howard were as reliable as ever. Although Gerald Green isn’t knocking down shots he seems to be able to create his own at will. Shawne Williams is capable of hitting from beyond the arc and James Singleton shows a lot of energy around the rim. Limiting stupid mistakes and turnovers is vital for them to be successful (Kidd and Howard had 6 each). They will have to improve their team defense and force more turnovers against better teams.

Leftovers:

• Don’t think Larry Brown is going to hang around Charlotte for very long. The guy has the attention span of my cat and will find something else as soon as a decent offer comes across his desk.
• Diop and Wright did not play due to Coach’s Decision

The Cowboys will be as healthy as they’ve been all season heading into the game at Washington, which will hopefully open things up more for Marion. As the weather gets colder and dicier, the running game will be that much more important as the Cowboys try to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Down in Miami, Julius Jones and the Seahawks got wildcatted by the Dolphins on their way to a 21-19 loss. Jones ran 16 times for 88 yards and also caught 2 passes for 2 yards. He scored no touchdowns and did not fumble. It appears that Matt Hasselbeck will start for the Seahawks Sunday, so we’ll see if that wil help boost Julius’ production.

This week, the Cowboys travel to the nation’s capital to take on the hated Redskins on Sunday Night Football while the Seahawks welcome back Matt Hasselbeck as Seattle hosts the NFC West leading Arizona Cardinals (that felt as weird to type as it does to say).
