We might have to get a funeral casket for collison after this one. He is up going aginst rih rih tonight.

I hope he finds his game, because Kyrie is going to be in attack mode all night.

Anderson is a beast on the boards for the Cavs, and rebounding is one of Dallas' main weaknesses, so don't think that this game is going to be an easy one for Dallas. Cavs went at the Clippers hard, and if dallas does not control the boards/paint it will be a long night for team blue

However, mayo is going up against waiters, who is a streaky rookie and a weak defender. I wouldn't be surprised if mayo drops 40.

Most important mission tonight: control the boards and win quarters!

Collison, snap out of it!

Im afraid Varejao will singlehandedly destroy the Mavs on the boards. Mavs cant look past this 2-6 Cavs squad.

yeah, bro.....

I'm kind of afraid as well.....Varejao is a rebounder's rebounder. he knows where the ball is going to go, very effective in boxing out, and he can run the floor.

I would give anything for him or Asik ...they eat up boards like pacman

Weirdly enough, I have a good feeling about tonight.

I hope your feeling is correct. Im just skeptical about Dallas winning on the road. They seem to just run out of gas on the road without the fan's energy to feed off of.

A couple good things, Dallas been better as a team on the boards and also has a better assist to turnover ratio than the Cavs.

Need to keep Varejao off the boards (especially offensive) or he'll go for 20 easily.

cavs are coming off of a 6 game road trip, and during that road trip they beat the clips. Dallas is playing a back to backer against a team who is going to be on level 10 because they haven't played at home in 2 weeks. ...

I want a win, but I'm not looking past anything........

Mayo looked off tonight in his first stint and our offense is struggling for it.

trades need to be made

lol considering Dirk has not stepped on the floor, so no trades do not "need" to be made. Take any superstar player off a team and majority of teams struggle.

i dunno...i think its more wishful thinking that when dirk comes back everything will get a lot better..sure it will get a bit better but i think we are putting too much on the big guy at this point in his career

also its not going to make our D better

LOL Murphy and his two 3 point attempts. They looked identicle off the rim. His three point shot is gone, if he's going to play then just play him as this supposably hustle player.

Maybe we can trade Mac1 for someone.

Never said that everything is going to get better

I said that there is no point rushing off and trading away players when Dirk has not touched the floor.
