ugh.. JJ Barea... what a pest.

 

[MickZagger]

Mills gets to play against Barea. JJ is what Mills should aspire to.

 

[alex42083]

Nice to see Joel back!

 

[Mediocre Man]

You going to minimize this win because they don't have Dirk or Butler?

Portland should beat them. We are a better team with the players they have out. Still a good win at Dallas

 

[VenomXL]

Wow, there went all of our momentum.

 

[Mediocre Man]

A lot of jumpers tonight so far. The Mavs are playing great defense after their initial timeout

 

[alex42083]

Rudy got to hit those.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I'd rather see Armon, but Mills is playing with a lot of confidence

 

[VenomXL]

Great look to end the quarter, too bad he couldn't drop it.

The Mavs have come to play. I wasn't sure at first but this looks to be a dogfight.

 

[B-Roy]

Each starter has 4 or more points.

I feel like we're lucky to be tied.

 

[alex42083]

Twin Towers -- Joel and Camby

 

[DUB]

Twin Towers -- Joel and Camby

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ma. let em play refs

 

[Darkwebs]

Oh boy. Barea is becoming a pest

 

[Mediocre Man]

Twin Towers -- Joel and Camby

Post injury, Joel is playing smaller than he is.

 

[Darkwebs]

Rudy is shooting blanks so far

 

[alex42083]

Post injury, Joel is playing smaller than he is.

He definitely looked a little hesitant out there, but... that's to be expected, I think, his first game back. And plus, it's the same floor where he busted up his knee last year.

 

[DUB]

Great play!

I saw Mills talking to LA at the previous free throw, so I was watching for something from them.

 

[VenomXL]

Cardinal is shutting you down LA. Time to get pissed.

 

[Darkwebs]

Lamarcus is kind of struggling so far, not unexpected as the Mavs have some good defensive big men

 

[DUB]

WTF was that shot by Nic?

 

[VenomXL]

Holy hell Nic. Someone shut the door.

 

[DUB]

Good pass Mills, good hard foul on LA.

 

[VenomXL]

LOL. Fuckin' Cardinal.

 

[VenomXL]

LA is struggling mightily.

 

[MickZagger]

When Terry is in transition he always pulls up for the mid-range jumpshot. C'mon simple scouting report material there.

 

[VenomXL]

We aren't drawing any shooting fouls.

 

[B-Roy]

I knew this wouldn't last. Blazers were just making a ton of outside shots in the 1st.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Great adjustment by Carlisle. Let's see if Nate can match it with posting his guards and having our bigs cut.

 

[DUB]

Camby almost with a double double already!
