« Previous EntriesGerald Green joins the Mavs
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008A second move made by Dallas this week was to get a verbal agreement from Gerald Green, former NBA Dunk Contest winner and runner-up. At 6′8″ and 200 pounds, Green could be the inside help the Mavs have needed when Dirk is off the floor. “Could” be.
Dallas will be Green’s fourth team in as many [...]
Diop Returns
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008It’s a less than exciting day in Dallas where we receive the news that one of our own is returning home. DeSagana Diop was a part of the Devin Harris/Jason Kidd trade last season that many Dallas fans are still questioning. Was it the right move to make? Is Jason Kidd worth the loss of [...]
Getting to Know a Brand New Dallas Mavericks Team
Sunday, March 16th, 2008I took most of the past month off. I kept track of the Jason Kidd trade and listened to Randy Galloway and Dale the snail Hansen talk about whether it was a good trade. But as far as the games were concerned, I had to get my updates from ESPN.com and 103.3FM ESPN Radio. Life’s [...]
Kidd Allays My Fears
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008I’m sitting here watching the Mavs play the Bobcats on HDTV. Jason Kidd is all over the place: grabbing rebounds, stealing balls, making passes the other Mavs haven’t seen since Steve Nash. Why do we have a problem with the Devin Harris trade again? Right now, I’m forgetting my objections.
Maybe it’s just this game. I’ve [...]
Shaq’s First Start for Phoenix Versus the Mavs
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Shaq’s first appearance as a Phoenix Sun may take place on Thursday against the Mavericks. Check ESPN.com for more details on the story.
According to Shaq, he’s in “great human shape… I’ve just got to get into basketball shape.” Shaq hasn’t played in a month and a half since his hip surgery, and is still rehabbing [...]
Cha-cha-cha-changes!!!
Thursday, February 7th, 2008There’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 [...]
The Jerry Stackhouse Problem
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008Over 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 [...]
Nelly Returns to the AAC
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008Tuning in to 103.3FM ESPN Radio this afternoon, I got to hear Randy Galloway and Little Ball of Hate shooting the breeze with Don Nelson. Randy loves Nelly with a serious man-crush. Not sure how much of it is actual professional admiration and how much is a love of self (old, white, overweight alcoholics must [...]
WAKE UP CALL
Monday, December 17th, 2007The Dallas Cowboys are playing excellent football right now. This is why nobody is really noticing how bad the Mavericks are doing right now. The Mavericks are 17 - 9 right now. More than half of those losses have came from Eastern Conference teams. I don’t know what is more embarrassing [...]
How Long Will Dallas Love the Big White Hype?
Saturday, December 15th, 2007I’m not a fairweather fan… okay, maybe I am. That’s only because I like watching good football and basketball. I don’t waste my time on a team that can’t mesh well or win a playoff game. And I can’t help how long you devoted Mavs calves will suffer the big German.
Is Dallas cursed? Seriously, I’m [...]
