I hope J-Ho and/or Antoine Wright can finally return tonight... I expect the Mavs to win at home anyway

I'm going to the game tonight and i LOVE our chances i see us pulling away in the middle of the fourth and winning by 8. If we could beat them by 50 i'd love it..Why? They're one of the top 3 teams i HATE in the league (along with the spurs and lakers)

Dirk-Amare...

I think the key matchup is Kidd-Nash or even Shack-Damp

I 2nd that, I hope they play too. Correct me if I'm wrong but we haven't beat a 100% healthy West contender yet (only depleted Spurs & Rockets right? correct me if I'm wrong)

Dallas favored to win by 4 points

O/U 207

This is a big game for us. Hopefully Howard come back and plays strong.

I would love to see Shaq and Damp go at it during the game.

Antoine Wright (strained groin) missed the Mavericks game on Tuesday. He said he will sit out "at least another game or two" to avoid aggravating the injury.
Wright has a shot at remaining the Mavs starting shooting guard, but Gerald Green and Devean George will get a short-term boost in his absence. Wright is a pretty unimpressive fantasy option, so hopefully you're not relying on him.

and jho is game decision. they dunno yet.

I hope Howard suits up.

Josh will sit again tonight.

TNT is saying Barea is starting and I see him on the floor at the tip.

JES12 · Post #15 » by **JES12** » Fri Dec 5, 2008 1:19 am

Barea starting at the 2?

Dampeir looking like Chandler

The Mavs are really attacking Shaq with the pick and roll. Damp has been very active so far on both ends of the floor.

Stack, meet George...he will be keeping you company.

I don't know if Shaq is having a bad start but he looks terrible out there right now. He looks slow and old right now. Just wish Dirk would start like this more often.

Damp to Shaq "How does it feel being the 2nd best center in this game?"
