Big stinking trap game. Mavs need to concentrate to not be the first road victim of 2010-2011 of the Wiz.

GO TEH MAVS!!

Totally agree, Mavs love to fail in that sort of situation.

Mavs should have no reason to lose this one. Washington is just a bad team. Wall will surely give Kidd some problems though

Wizards don't play any defense so Mavs should win.

I don't have the same confidence in the team I did pre-injury. I always expected to win no matter who we played, now I think this is a losable game.

I'm still in favor of playing Marion entirely at SF, and giving Mahimni all the back-up PF minutes because it improves us defensively. But we'll see what happens.

Wow. Brian Cardinal is our starting SF. Peja can't get healthy soon enough.

DIRK is just taking Trevor Booker to school right now. It's a thing of beauty.

Peja won't even travel for our 3 game road trip. Even at 100% he won't make us that much better, but Cuban is trying convince the fans he will.

It's so important to have Marion coming off the bench, even though he plays much better in the starting unit, that it's worth it to play Cardinal big minutes. Don't question Mastermind Carlisle.

He's been using Dirk in shorter spurts to help keep his legs and knee fresh.

I don't think Peja will help all that much, but he is still better than Brian Cardinal.

This is the same rotation he's been using all year, he's starting Cardinal to preserve it rather than try to figure out a new one with Butler out.

Carlisle should check the +/- numbers and see how bad the bench has played (Terry & Marion). They need DIRK in the game to open things up for them. Mavs were a +7 in the 1st quarter with DIRK in the lineup.

Yeah but tonight we kind of need him more early, put the game away then rest him.

This is pissing me off, if we win this I'll be surprised.

This is embarassing.

DIRK is going into DIRK (God) mode
