    Keep an eye out for Calderon. He had a knee contusion tonight and Larkin played PG for most of the second half. Devin Harris might apparently also make his debut for them tomorrow

    Looks like Dallas pulled out a squeaker in Phx. Portland should be fast asleep by the time the Mavs arrive back in Dallas. Pay back!

    Getting playoff ready means stealing back homecourt advantage so this game on the Mavs court needs to be win 31 for the good guys

    ah ha for a sec I thought you meant need to win by 31. That would be awesome to get the bench some extended burn and the starters a lot of rest. Last 4 in 5 road trip we had an overtime game and a buzzer beater thriller which gassed the starters before that final game.

    I'm glad KGdubya is coming through in the clutch. My pirating skills are sharp but its not my main slab. If you're picking up what I'm putting down.

    The Mavericks logo has morphed into something I think I saw from the movie Frozen

    This game worries me. The three teams I think Portland matches up the worst against are Dallas, Phoenix and Minnesota, and that's because each of those teams have bigs that shoot well from outside. We're currently 1-4 against these 3 teams and they're all potential 1st round opponents.

    Phx, Hous, Phx, Dal, Minn, Mia, NOP, Phi, Sac are all the losses we've had this year. 7 of the 9 had 3 point shooting big men so I definitely agree it's a common theme in our losses

    NOP, Philly, and Sac were all games where we seemed to be in a funk of sorts. Not really motivated because we had just beaten them pretty handily.

    man..those are some brutal first round match ups...

    Spurs vs Suns would be tough to call

    OKC vs GS..I have to give it to GS if OKC has any injuries

    Clips and Rockets..I dont know..I would like to see the Clips win..I would not want to have to figure out how to match up with the Rockets

    And last but not least..I think in a series we take home the W..they play us tough, and have a ton of playoff games under their belt, but our youth and talent make up for a lot. The first round as it is set here would be a slug fest

    Great. Forgot to set the DVR this morning for a rare televised game and I'm far from being able to go home. FML.

    Please keep the updates coming.

    DAL guys say that Devin Harris will make his season debut tonight.

    I really hate Dallas. I always love beating them.

    If I was Cuban, I would break up this team and move Dirk while he still has value. They aren't contenders. They aren't going to compete for a championship, so just blow it up and start over.
