    If Bev isn't 100%, then start Lin. Bev reinjuring himself would be even worse.

    A lot of you expecting wins. But let me tell you that Mavs so far counters all our twin tower talk. Because they have a LOT of mid range shooters and stretch 4s etc.

    Infact can you think of anyone on Mavs who specifically excels in driving to the rim? Maybe Ellis? but that's all I can think of.

    Monta have it all


    Durant goes off on us again


    Cuban trades us Dirk mid game

    Rockets come back from a 10 point deficit after Dirk changes jerseys and we win by 10

    We're still testing out twin towers. Trying it against an ultimate worst case (Dirk) is exactly what we should be doing now. We need to learn the problems and fine tune it, but we can't do that without seeing it on the court.

    That said, I'm not sure about doing it without Bev. It's a double down on defense lineup, and ball pressure heading into the twin towers is a good thing. Hopefully Bev will be in the game and we can get more data to use for tweaking purposes. If not, we should probably go with something else this game.

    L Dirk goes banana's on D12!! and Monte decides to drive and shoot midrange. Horrible 3pt shooter.

    punish blondie

    The key is punish Blondie he can't guard d12 in the post. When a man pulls down 27 rebs, I think we forgive him for a little mistake.

    The Bobcats didn't take a lot of 3's or mid range jumpers, they went inside to Al Jefferson and crashed the boards. It's hard to leak out on a fast break when the rebound was difficult to coral.
    Add to that, Harden was not pushing the ball up the floor, instead choosing to dribble slowly past half court.

    Is it a bad sign that we struggled to put away a lottery Charlotte Bobcats team last night?

    Cool stat.

    One guy who can dominate the paint
    Two premier play makers
    Four guys who can hit the three at a good clip
    and all 5 seem to be pretty committed to defense this year.

    That lineup is probably the best that we have.

    Repped bro.

    One way we can 'try' to counter their stretch 4 is to post them up with our bigs and get them in early foul trouble.

    I am trying to make up my mind which team I dislike the most:

    Lakers
    Dallas
    Brooklyn
    Heat

    Keep it up Cuban and Dallas may be my new #1

    I hope people realize how open Garcia will be all season long. It's going to be a season long hot streak and tomorrow will be no different. Garcia is going to average 15 a game for us this year...

    Make it 2-0 boys I can't stand the Mavs
