Ouch dirk gets ejected! Take advantage!

Clippers have been down by 14 and as close as 7, but the gap would stretch anytime we made a push. It is now a 4 point game and Dirk has been tossed. It should be interesting down the stretch. Even without Dirk, Dallas still has a lot of firepower.

lol they try. Plus, Donaldson put in a couple years with the Clips.

Even though Baron Davis is not shooting well, I believe his passing has given us the lead!

12 assists to 1 turnover is amazing. 2 for 8 shooting, not so much, but he's definitely contributed.

Beaubois is come up huge for the Mavs in the 2nd half. Mavs now lead by 7.

Bankshot bingo by Baron Davis.

Hughes finally decides to put Gooden back into the game now that we are down 16.

What the heck happened...4th quarter is terrible

106-96 Dallas wins without Dirk who played less than half the game after being in early foul trouble and eventually being tossed.

11 games to go and 30 wins is looking less likely by the day. We've moved up in the lottery standings though. We are now tied with the Jazz (via Knicks) for the 9th pick. The Pacers are creeping up as well. We are a game ahead of them, so a couple wins by them & the Knicks and we're in the 8th spot.

I didn't realize now that we could get a top 10 pick. I was trying to keep up with yesterday's game but I just had too much work. I saw that we made it close but then lost it in the fourth. Sad that we couldn't take advantage of the Mavs not having Dirk late. I would like us to get 30 wins and hopefully we will.
