Game 14 November 24, 2010: Mavericks at Thunder

Great comeback win but I hope Stevenson is not hurt to bad.

[Johnny Firpo]

I was wrong again, great. I'm gonna predict a loss for every game. Chandler for POG! Go Mavs!

I need to apologize to Chandler for saying he wasn't anything but Damp or Haywood with slightly better hands.

There's really no comparison. He can actually play with heart for a full game.

A lot of good and bad here. Dirk-Marion-Chandler were amazing, and Butler had his first good shooting night in a while. Kidd and Barea shot awfully. Stevenson did well but Carlisle assigning him to guard Durant was stupid considering how well Marion handles that, but I guess he wanted to appease Butler with the start.

We won this game because of Chandler though, we finally have someone that can abuse smaller teams along with Dirk, and that's just **** great. Chandler and Haywood combined for 20-20!!

I'm not sure how to quantify this, but Butler does a lot of things right other than his poor shooting. We complain about him not driving enough, but it's clear that's not really his game and he doesn't have a good touch around the basket. The only good result when he drives is getting fouled, but he never makes it.

All the things Barea does badly he's continuing to do badly. The only thing he does right is penetrate and score, but right now he's in a pretty bad shooting slump.

The 4th was fun to watch. Tyson Chandler was grabbing so many boards and I was hoping for him to reach 20-20 status, but the win against OKC is still more meaningful. It's nice to win 3 games straight, but now it's time to focus on San Antonio.

Go Mavs

Big thanks to Utah tonight for beating New Orleans.

Next two for New Orleans:
Portland
San Antonio

Kidd and Barea shot awfully.

That is becoming the norm around here.

The Spurs game is much more important than the Heat game. I would love to win both, but if we could only win one, I hope it is the Spurs.

Dirk Nowitzki 7 points in 30 seconds

That closing lineup did a wonderful job last night. However, it always makes me nervous when we win by hitting 3s. It seems when we win games like that it becomes habitual.

Butler not getting crunch time minutes again when he actually had a decent game is beginning to indicate to me that he will eventually be shopped. Just a hunch.
Maybe it's just me but Butler just seems to be a carbon copy of JHo.

That's exactly how I feel about him, except not injured.

The lineup to finish games should always be Kidd/Terry/Marion/DIRK/Chandler.

Marion has to be out there because he can lock up elite wing players.
