Mavs are good =)

2nd time this year the Mavs have snapped 12 game winning streaks. Both times, on the road.

We snapped the Hornets 8 game winning streak
We snapped the Celtics 5 game winning streak
We snapped the Spurs 12 game winning streak
We snapped the Thunder 5 game winning streak
We snapped the Jazz 6 game winning streak
We snapped the Heat 12 game winning streak

Key of the 4th quarter, Dirk had a bad shooting game. JET...0 points heading into the 4th...gets 19 in the 4th quarter.

Mavs are 22-5, we've won 15 of our last 16, and we're 4-0 this season against the Heat, Spurs, Celtics

Neither team deserved to win that game. Both teams played like garbage.

I know. It was just an ugly game for both teams. We couldn't hit free throws and it seems like we were taking turns going on scoring runs all game. It was ridiculous. Oh well.

Looking forward to facing the revamped Suns, then the Lakers on Christmas day.

Their first game together, please don't get ahead of yourself.

Although I don't think the Magic are an elite team anymore, but you have to give them time.

Orlando should of traded Shard for Arenas, and not do the one with Phoenix IMO.

they are going to miss Gortat
I love Gortat. he's going to do really well in Phoenix and everyone is going to say "why didnt he start in orlando?"
he should have imo. sure orlando would only have like 1 big on the bench, but the lakers go with a 3 man big rotation.

Dwight/Gortat/Rashard/Malik Allen/trade for another big would have worked.Stan is a dumbass

Why? Dude hasn't done anything in the NBA to prove he's good lol. He barely cracked the rotation on a Magic team that has no backups at the 5 or 4 really.

Nah, he actually did real well in Orlando. But I think Bass > Gortat. Thats what I think Orlando thought to.

i too thought he was being overrated and was nothing special, but have you seen him play?

very good player
he can hit an open jumper, he's active, good shot blocker and rebounder.
Stan underused him to the max

and i understand he never starts and this is an extremely small sample size, but it shows he does have talent
his career numbers as a starter in 5 games are 9 points/10 rebounds/12 blocks in 5 games
in 2009 he started a playoff game because Dwight was suspended and put up 11/15

im not saying he's an all-star, top 5 center lol
but he's a solid player, a player that Orlando is going to miss because now they have no bigs other than Dwight and Bass. should have used him more. Stan is an idiot

History going to happen tonight.

Dirk is 10 points away from tying, and 11 points away from passing Larry Bird on the all-time scoring list, moving him up to #25 on the all-time scoring list.

The 2 best shooting big men in NBA history

Orlando getting whooped on again. But at least they are playing Earl Clark some. He is leading all the new additions in points, except Hedo has 1 more point. JRich and Arenas both with just 2.

Don't know why Earl is wearing #3 all the sudden.

Dwight Howard is ridiculous with these rebounds.. And this is probably gonna be the norm for him now.
