Mavs vs Clips

Monday, March 31st, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Mavs Talk | 39 Comments »

I've got to get to work early in the morning so just putting a post here for any comments on the game tonight. If anything goes terribly wrong I'll post again in the morning. Jason Kidd had a great first ...

A blogger is a blogger is.. not a blogger?

Monday, March 31st, 2008 Posted in Mavs Talk | 26 Comments »

I haven't written much about the Mavericks blogger ban, just one quick note actually, because in the beginning it didn't really effect me. Over the weekend that changed a little though. First, if you want a quick overview of the whole ...

Welcome to 8th

Monday, March 31st, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 43 Comments »

Last year in the first round of the playoffs Avery benched Erick Dampier in game 1 and effectively told the Warriors that the Mavs had to conform to their style of play. This lead to a first round exit ...

Are the excuses beginning?

Sunday, March 30th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson | 23 Comments »

Could the excuses for the poor performance since the All-Star break be starting? Here's what Avery has to say about having 8 new players this year, 5 since the break. "Had we remained the same, maybe you could see ...

Single Elimination?

Saturday, March 29th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson | 8 Comments »

Avery had this to say before the Nuggets game about the Mavericks current position in the West. "We're playing single elimination.  That's the way we've got to look at it." I guess this season is already over then?   Postings on this ...

Well, that sucked

Thursday, March 27th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 61 Comments »

After the first half I was getting ready to come on here and talk about how good this team looked. They scored 70 points for only the 2nd time this season, Avery mostly stayed on the bench and let ...

Devin Harris is Good

Thursday, March 27th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson | 25 Comments »

With Devin Harris going for 22 points and a career high 15 assists last night against the Pacers let's take a look back at the trade. When this trade happened I was all for it. I thought Jason Kidd would ...

My Positioning Statement

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Mavs Talk | 15 Comments »

Ok, I'm getting tired of hearing the phrase "fair-weather fan" and that I'm not a "real fan," whatever that actually is. So I'm going to go through my Mavericks history and why I started this site. I didn't move to ...

Let’s stay competitive

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 7 Comments »

Nothing like a visit from the NBA's version of a band-aid to bring people back from a ledge.  Of course when you're playing a team that starts Josh freakin' Powell at center you should dominate them, no matter who you ...

Monday Night Quick Hits

Monday, March 24th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Mavs Talk | 17 Comments »

It was a busy Monday in Mavericks land so thought I'd just quick hit some of the news of the day. Dirk is an extremely lucky guy who somehow came out of the yesterday's game with only a high-ankle sprain and ...

This season is over, part 2

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 Posted in Game Recap | 55 Comments »

The Mavericks had a 54-42 lead with 6:24 left in the 3rd quarter. Then in the next 4 minutes 54 seconds this team's season was effectively done. In that 4:54 the Mavs gave up a 19-0 run and ...

Cute Shirt

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 Posted in Mavs Talk | 1 Comment »

Mark Cuban was wearing a cute little t-shirt today that said "Avery's Team". There has been talk in the press that Mark is unhappy with Avery since the Kidd trade and this is probably his way of downplaying it. And ...

This season is over

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap, Mavs Talk | 24 Comments »

Well, this season is done. Here's hoping they fall to 9th in the West and get a draft pick this year. Then Donnie and Avery can both be replaced this offseason and this thing can get somewhat of a fresh ...

Biggest game of the year

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Mavs Talk | 2 Comments »

So far at least. A loss pretty much ends any hopes the Mavs have of moving up any in the Western Conference standings. They'd be 3 games back of San Antonio and Phoenix for 6th, but only 1 ...

This is just depressing

Thursday, March 20th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 15 Comments »

Another close game, another blown 4th quarter lead and now the Mavericks are 0-7 against teams with a .500 record or better since the Kidd trade. Dirk had a ridiculous game tonight with 22 point and 19 rebounds. Kidd had ...
