Wednesday Cleanup

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson | 32 Comments »

Avery finally took responsibility for this mess today, too bad it's in such a sarcastic tone. "I take full responsibility about everything," Avery said. "And that's my job. But at the same time, we have a game plan. We've got to ...

This team is done

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Mavs Talk | 118 Comments »

Saturday, April 19th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 61 Comments »

Friday, April 18th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Mavs Talk | 8 Comments »

It's finally playoff time and the future of the Mavericks depends quite a bit on how they play over the next, if things go well, 2 months.  There seem to be only two options after this season is over, and ...

So the Mavs still have momentum?

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson | 7 Comments »

Avery can’t really mean this, right?

Monday, April 14th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson | 14 Comments »

This has to be a joke by Avery explaining last night's failure. He had this to say about Gary Payton being at the game last night. "I don't know if Payton should have showed up tonight, because when he got ...

And now the Mavs lose to the Sonics

Sunday, April 13th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 11 Comments »

Mavs fall short to the Trailblazers. Wait, what?

Sunday, April 13th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 17 Comments »

Fan’s Perspective

Thursday, April 10th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Fan Perspective | 5 Comments »

It looks like at this point in the season everybody is just waiting for the playoffs to start.  The Mavs pretty much have the 7th seed locked up and will most likely face San Antonio or Los Angeles in the first round.  In fact, ...
