Our friends at Fox Sports Southwest offer video highlights of last night's Pacers-Mavericks game for your viewing pleasure.... February 22, 2010
Dallas Morning News columnist Kevin Sherrington answered your questions about the Mavericks. Some highlights ... On playing Jason Kidd the entire second half in the Heat game Saturday and why we are not seeing more of Roddy Beaubois: Carlisle simply doesn't trust Beaubois at this point because of his inexperience and because he already has two guys in the game (Haywood and Butler) who aren't familiar with the scheme. You can't have three guys who...
Dallas Morning News columnist Kevin Sherrington answered your questions about the Mavericks. Some highlights ... On where the Mavericks rank in the West after the trade: I think the Mavs did as well with the trade as any of the other contenders in the West, and that seems to be bearing itself out in early returns. Caron Butler isn't as good overall as Howard, but he's still very effective, and you don't have to worry...
Now, I haven't been to many - or any - Mavericks games in person before tonight, but Dirk Nowitzki just went to the bench with 23 points. I had to double check because those were some quiet 23 points. And that's not a bad thing. The Mavs haven't had to rely solely on Nowitzki tonight but he put up a quick eight points in the fourth quarter to get to 23 points. The only player...
I thought they didn't call traveling in the NBA? With Brendan Haywood just called for a walk, that's four in the quarter on both teams....
Rick Carlisle can't emphasize enough that Roddy Beaubois has done nothing wrong to earn his demotion to full-time bench work, other than simply not playing well enough. "A coach's decision - that's all I can tell you,'' Carlisle said. "I got to be careful about being too analytical about it. The last two or three games, J.J. (Barea) has played well. He hasn't necessarily shot the ball great, but he's battled defensively and gotten to...
On Dan Patrick's radio show Monday morning, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban denied allegations that a night of partying in Washington led to Josh Howard's departure from the team. Cuban also indicated that the Mavericks got rid of two players last season for missing a game because of too much partying. Staff Writer Eddie Sefko reported Friday that Howard had a long night of partying on Jan. 19, the night after the Mavericks had won in Boston...
When the Mavericks made the trade with Washington, Mark Cuban stressed the importance of Brendan Haywood in the deal, calling him a top 5-7 center on certain evaluations the team makes, especially defensively. Since the All-Star break, the Mavericks are 3-1 and allowing 93.0 points per game and 44 percent shooting by their opponents. Some of that has to be attributed to Haywood. But Haywood is still getting adjusted to some of the nuances in...
Mark Cuban spoke to Dan Patrick Radio on Monday. Some highlights: On how many Mavericks playoff games he wants at Cowboys Stadium: Just one or two. On what Jerry Jones told him: "He said 'When. Let's do that.'" On whether it's a done deal: No. The hard part is we have a responsibility to the American Airlines Center, because I only own 50 percent of it. We would have to work out a buyout for...
Kobe Bryant will return to the Lakers' lineup Tuesday at Memphis after missing five games - and the NBA All-Star Game at Cowboys Stadium - with a sprained left ankle and strained tendon. Will Bryant be able to play Wednesday against the Mavericks at American Airlines Center? Bryant acknowledged to reporters today that he's not sure how the ankle will feel on back-to-back nights. Los Angeles went 4-1 without Bryant with the only loss coming...
Caron Butler admits he hasn't figured out the lay of the land in Dallas. He's been busy getting acclimated to his new team and teammates, which hasn't left much time for exploring the local landscape. "The basketball part is coming rather quickly,'' Butler said. "But the living part? I haven't been farther than a couple blocks away from the arena. I caught a movie last night. That's about it. It's going to take awhile. But...
Todd Archer reports: The Mavericks are expected to give Von Wafer a physical today and might sign him to a 10-day contract if all goes well, Mavericks president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said. Wafer has played for five teams in five seasons, including the Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, Blazers and Rockets. The 6-5 guard played last season with Houston, averaging 9.7 points, 1.1 assists and 1.8 rebounds in just under 20 minutes per game over...
The Washington Wizards traded Caron Butler to the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 13. Butler recently wrote a good-bye message in the Washington Post. The letter reads as follows: When you get traded, you don't get time to say goodbye. More important, you don't get the opportunity to say, "Thank you." Thank you, to some of the best fans in the world. Representing you and representing this city has been an honor I will always cherish....
The Mavericks have had some hard-to-explain losses at home this year: Golden State being down to six players, Minnesota and Washington - as well as some closer-than-expected wins against some poor teams. Indiana shows up tonight with a 19-36 record and a 7-21 record away from home and the Los Angeles Lakers are visiting on Wednesday. And the Pacers won't have their best player, Danny Granger. This is a classic trap game. The Pacers, however,...
Patience has been a key word around the Mavericks these days since the big trade with Washington. It will take time for Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood to get accustomed to how their new team does things on both ends of the court. The same case for patience can be said for one of the Mavericks mainstays in Jason Terry because as coach Rick Carlisle said the dynamic of the team has changed since the... |
