Could be an ugly one, but it's a game nonetheless....

Box score says Jimmy is getting heated.

Erick Dampier, of all people, is dominating against us in the paint.

Not too bad thus far, 26-26 after one quarter.

Danny & Dirk with 7 points each.

Good thing we are crashing the boards, because they are shooting the lights out.

Impressive: 56-49 at the half, with some impressive stat-lines.

T.J. Ford: 4 pts, 4 rbds and 7 asts
Danny Granger: 12 points and 4 rbds
Troy Murphy: 13 points and 8 rbds

83-77 through three, I'm talking to myself here, but I'm still encouraged.

Only three minutes into the quarter, I'm sensing another collapse.

Career high for Brandon, win-or-loss.

And I think, it'll be a loss.

Also, Antoine Wright scored a career-high for Dallas as well.

Only fitting that I quote myself in this thread.

Outscored 32-23 in the fourth. There's nothing anyone could have done different, Jim included, we simply didn't make shots in the final minutes and couldn't stop them.

Seriously now, its getting a little old. First off, Granger needs to stop turning the ball over and choking in crunch time. Second off, why the ungodly hell is Jarrett Jack in the game over TJ Ford at the end? I realize Kidd is a bigger point guard, but Jack **** himself and makes horrible decisions. Third, Brandon Rush has really come on lately, so theres a positive. Fourth, this "sustain a lead throughout the game only to blow it in the fourth quarter" is going to (if it hasnt already) start affecting our guys psychologically. We really need a win in Houston tomorrow night, and I honestly cant see it happening. This team is losing confidence.

Sean Williams pulled a David Harrison and fouled out in 8 minutes...

This team drives me nuts, they look like a top 4 team in the East for 3 quarters of every game then they turn into the OKC Thunder in the 4th. Can we get Reggie out of retirement and bring him in for the 4th? This is getting ridiculous.
