Well, that didn’t go so well

Sunday, April 27th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 48 Comments »

I don't even feel like writing anything here tonight. I'm just very disappointed right now. I guess I just need to accept that this team just isn't very good anymore. Josh Howard has become a ghost of ...

Mavericks Win!

Friday, April 25th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 25 Comments »

Now that was the team I know that these guys can be. What an impressive show by Dirk, Jason, Josh, Jason, Erick and Brandon.  Adjustments were made, the guys finally played like they were in the playoffs, and just ...

Mavs-Hornets Game 1

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

After being up twelve at half-time, and at least somewhat controlling Chris Paul up until then, the Mavericks looked to be in good shape for the rest of the game. Then Byron Scott proved to be the better coach ...

Mavs heading to the Big Easy

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 12 Comments »

Good win by the Mavs tonight to close out the regular season and clinch the 7th seed in the West. Jason Kidd picked up his 100th career triple-double and the Mavs came back from 11 point deficits twice.  Brandon ...

And now the Mavs lose to the Sonics

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

Maybe the Mavs just wanted to let the Sonics say a nice goodbye to Seattle tonight. That's the only thing I can think of to explain the collapse in the fourth quarter. I didn't see too much of ...

Mavs fall short to the Trailblazers. Wait, what?

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

That was quite an uninspired effort by the Mavericks tonight, both the players and the coach. Things didn't start off well as Portland jumped out to a 37-21 lead in the first quarter. The Mavs just didn't look ...

Mavs beat the Sonics, yay!

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 2 Comments »

Well, the Mavericks beat the Sonics tonight in a game that neither team looked too terribly interested in playing. The Sonics are probably much more interested in arranging moves from Seattle to Oklahoma City than playing ball right now ...

Mavs extinguish the Suns

Sunday, April 6th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 11 Comments »

What an amazing game and win by the Mavericks today. Down 13 points early in the fourth quarter, the Mavs held the Suns to 9 points in the fourth and showed the league that they may be a threat ...

Yet another disappointment

Saturday, April 5th, 2008 Posted in Avery Johnson, Game Recap | 23 Comments »

I really didn't want to have to write a post like this tonight. Maybe I bought into how good this team looked Wednesday night and really didn't take into account the circumstances of that game. But I wanted ...

Where has that team been?

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008 Posted in Game Recap | 35 Comments »

I haven't given out a lot of praise to this team since I started the site, but that's all I'm going to do tonight. Yes, it's a little knee-jerky to get completely positive after finally beating a .500 or ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
