This game just got a lot less attractive.

LP's already-sticky, short-circuiting keypad just breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Chandler Parsons injury is that he's traumatized to take the floor knowing that a male Hornets fan will be gawking over him.

Good, now we can put MKG on Monta and aggressively help off of Rondo.

Just spotted LP and Parsons outside the arena. Took a picture with my cell.

Does this mean Dallas starts Aminu or Richard Jefferson at small forward?

Sans Parsons, I'm cautiously predicting a close game. OKC played us really physical and I would be very surprised if we aren't pooped by the 3rd quarter. Mo has to stay aggressive and lead this team like he did last night- we need every point we can get and he doesn't exactly have a really tough cover tonight.

I'll be interested to see if MKG guards Dirk for a little while - this wouldn't be a bad game to play MKG at the 4.

We should Hack-A-Rondo. He's shooting 11.4% better FROM THREE than from the free throw line so far in Dallas (39.4% from 3, 28.0% FTs)

Raptors fan here but am a Mo Williams fan. Just wondering guys, does he put up the big numbers tonight? I didn't get a chance to watch last night with him on the floor. Does the offense flow through him now? I know for a while it seemed like Henderson put up a solid line most nights (atleast while Kemba's been out)

back to back man-crush games for MI and LP. Whose man-crush is stronger?

20 of the 40 FGs last night were a direct result of Mo. The offense now goes thru him. He becomes 2nd option on offense behind Jefferson (until Kemba comes back). Hendo now 3rd option (which is a role where he does not excel). Lance deferred to Mo last night when they were on the floor together. Lance would not defer to Brian Roberts (Lance just stands next to Roberts clapping his hands at him until Roberts passes him the ball).

My hope for tonight - More Zeller/MKG, less Max/Lance

He was incredible last night 24/12. Mo is exactly what we needed behind Kemba anyway

Hendo is doing well with Lance struggling.

for some odd reason, I have a good feeling about tonight. I think we will play well. It might not result in a win vs good mavs team on the road, but I don't think it will be an ugly loss either. prediction Mavs 102 - Hornets 98.

Time to see how this team can screw up my day again.

Last time we played the Mavs it was one of the three worst losses of the season - other two being the beatdowns from Hawks and Cavs.
