no howard tonight?

Still a good gamethread, even though I do miss the killer graphics... Im not counting on Howard playing tonight, but if they can play with the intensity that they had last night against the Lakers then I think we will win... Lets get back to .500

[GREEN8]

Green: 29 points/6 rebounds/20 minutes. Get that to Carlisle.

Doesn't Barea normally kill the Kings?

[cmavswin]

Mavs are killing the KIngs right now if Dirk does not play the 4th it will be a great game for the Mavs.

[cmavswin]

Barea is quick on offense just wish he would translate it to defense.

[cmavswin]

I am not sure but I think Bass got hurt after he hit the floor. Looked like a leg injury of some type.

John Salmons and Francisco Garcia are sooooooo over-rated on the trade forum. Everything I ever said about them is soooo right!

I would NEVER trade Terry for Salmons becouse Terry >> Salmons and neither have a 2010 expiring.

Every player on the trade board is overrated by their own fans. When Pau goes for what he did and Vince for what he did than anything is possible.

[GREEN8]

Horrid night for Green, playing 6 mpg will do that to you.

He played 13 and after missing 7 shots, that was 13 too many.

No, even Mav fans over-rate the dude. I would not give Stack's 2010 cap space for such a marginal imrovement to our rotation. I said that on the trade forum and everyone from every team including JHos Hydro was acting like I knew nothing of the game. I have told and continue to tell everyone that he had only one half of a good season his entire career (1st half last year...now the first 1/8 this year) and he will soon be 30. I also said that the Kings are trying to increase his minutes and production to trade the dude (like Randolph...though I did not say that on the forum though that is exactly what they are doing) and I got flamed for that. I swear, I say I don't like Salmons + Kenny Thomas for Stack + Wright and I get flamed by the hypnotized followers who believe the hype from other posters.

Solid win tonight and now we can focus on the home games coming up.
