No Eric Gordon is going to help us here, but Griffin is going to work Dirk's injured knee hard, so that does concern me. Mavs started out being favored by 5.5 and now it's 6.5 points. We should win this one, but I expect it to be close.

Even though we are playing well, I think you guys probably win because Eric Gordon's not playing. I don't think we have the depth to account for him being out. I do think, however, that Blake will give you fits - Dirk has great length, but I'm not sure he's quick/strong enough.

I love watching Mr. Griffin's plays, he is the PF in the future. However, Dirk will give him a lesson tonight.

Mavs wins by double digits!

I really hope to see some Peja tonight. Mavericks desperately need his scoring.

I hope Dirk's knee holds up against the tough matchup in Peter Griffin...I mean Blake

I would hope Baron Davis shoots the Clips right out of the game.

EDIT: Peja is inactive for tonights game, darn.

That's gotta be the first time I'm more excited to see Dirks opposition than him. Griffin is just amazing and incredible. Hope he has some mercy for our one-legged hero. Or rather I hope RC figures out a way in that Dirk won't be defending on Blake or DeAndre Jordan, I don't want him to become part of mixtapes on the dunked-on-end.

Don't expect to see Dirk on Griffin much really. Tyson saw most of the minutes there in the first game and I'd expect that to continue.

And hopefully Blake is on Dirk defensively, at 6"8 and shorter arms Dirk should have a clear line of sight to launch.



Big Big game for the Mavs here. They need this one to get back on track.

yea idk why some of u think dirks gonna guard griffin much if at all

i'll be curious how blake does this game, he played arguably his worst game our 1st matchup. try and force him to take jumpers or contested shots inside. i wonder how his defense is this year b/c it absolutely sucked at OU

defense blows thus far

Those Clippers commentators are sickening, they talk about Griffin 100% of the time.

Chandler proving a nice offensive spark to start the game.

Pretty good D on Griffin too, forced him to take some long jumpers. If he can stay out of foul trouble his size might give Griffin trouble.

What defense??

Why has DIRK only taken 1 shot through 10 minutes? Bad game plan.

lot of fouls called early on

evidently all u gotta do is yell and they give u the call

there's gonna be 50 fouls this game

The jets clear for takeoff lol

all these missed ft's are helping keeping us in the game

another missed call by the refs and it results in chandler getting his 2nd foul. the pace of this game f*cking blows

and diogu wasnt even shooting

i dnt want to blame refs for us being down but it looks clearly like their leaning a certain way with their calls
