Yesterday, Roy Tarpley passed away at the age of 50. He was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the 7th overall pick of the 1986 draft. Tarpley posted career averages of 12.6 points and 10.0 rebounds. He won the NBA 6th man of the year honors in his second season (1987-88) averaging 13.5 points and 11.8 rebounds in 28.5 mpg. His NBA career was derailed by his use of drugs and alcohol, which resulted in arrests, suspensions and eventually a permanent banning from the NBA. He did have some success playing basketball in Europe and ended his playing career in 2006 with he CBA6.

The game is in LA, not in Dallas...

I knew that, but I still made the mistake anyway

Thanks for pointing that out.

Have we won an afternoon game yet this season?

big test. i think we match up well. both teams look eerily similar.

nice test.

this team will be in the hunt come April.
would be nice to have this victory.

i mean it wont convince any of our several Debbie Downer fans.
but it should do some good for the team if we take care of business today.

solid match ups everywhere.

Ralph sounds good interviewing Doc.

glad he's back to normal.

In the last game, he was fine most of the way. It was towards the end of each half where it get really bad.

I know it's a marketing gimmick, but Ralph thumbing through clipper girls calendar is just.... creepy. they are around his grandkids' ages... just saying.

I will find out when i get there but nowadays i prefer older gals in my porn too... if the model is closer to my daughter's age than me, it's just weird now.

nice tip in to start the game by DJ.

Blake should have passed that.

it feels like yesterday to me when young Dirk and Nash were the pretty boy duo of the Dallas in that old ugly green and white uniforms and now Dirk is an old vet and a living legend who brought the Mavs out of the cellar into a championship franchise. we need our Blake to take a page out of Nowitzki's playbook and be a leader himself.

yeah those are the little things that still bugs me about Blake's decision making.

would love to see Chris take some of these bunnies early.

no reason for him not to not be aggressive on like 3 or 4 of those possessions early.

Another great start by Barnes. Keep up the effort 17 from last 34 3 point shots.

I know DJ has the best field goal % but sometimes I wonder if it should be higher considering how easy (for him) his shots are.

He's at 71%. It's hard to do much better than that.

Monta Monta Monta.

nice ball movement for an easy dunk there, we need more of that.

Redick and Barnes playing well in the 1st. Ball is moving and the defense is dialed in so far.
