This is an important game IMO. Lots of tough ones ahead and this team has to show the ability to defend the home court.
The Mavs have been very impressive this year, especially on defense. Dirk's going to get his points against us, we need Jeff Green / Russell Westbrook to appear for this game ready to play or it's going to be another stinker.

I get to watch this on the TV yay, instead of League pass broadband with my 13 inch screen.

Six point lead with a few minutes left.. let's see a good close out to the half unlike what's happened the last couple nights.
Really liked Ibaka off the bench today, Jeff Green has been great, and KD has been awesome on defense.

This team really has to work on their plays to end the half, Durant shooting a 27 footer is not the best shot. Do we ever score to end a half?

KD is getting frustrated by the Dallas defense, he's forcing shots.

Not liking the force feeding of KD right now, the offense is disjointed and ugly. Really frustrating..

Some great defense in this game.. if we ever get our offense together we'll be great.

KD is forcing everything. Very disappointing game from him.

I had to work really late tonight so I missed the game.
But I did catch two highlights both were Serge flushing an offensive rebound. 6pts, 6rebs and 2blks in 13min. That's a nice stat line.
The kid from Congo needs more minutes.

Serge looked good tonight. When he learns the nuances of the game he will be a really good player for us.
Even though we lost I love the effort tonight. The guys wanted it bad, we just didn't know how to execute down the stretch like Dallas. I thought we out hustled them they just were smarter.
Durant though, he looked disinterested when he wasn't getting his points, not a good sign. Green surprised me, he comes with this sort of effort and ability ever so often.
oh and how about them orange shoes? I liked them a lot especially when everyone was wearing them looked awesome like a team of 1. Not sure about wearing them every game though.

KD just had a bad game. Team is looking good. I still think a move needs to be made to bring in a big. I understand that OCK dosent have the money to be throwing around but, you have Collison, Thomas, and Ollie on your roster which combined are $15 million. I know Thomas and Ollie are comming off the roster. But, in this league you can rent a playes just like in baseball.
