You know how you can get videos of burning fires and put the TV in your fireplace? Can I do that with fireworks too? haha. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261966&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 Great... from an article at Hoopsworld.com talking about Jerry Stackhouse's contract expiring: "Stack will turn 33 in November, and his age is beginning to show. He appeared in only 67 games this season due to injuries associated with being a 33-year-old professional basketball player." Seriously? Do I really have to hear that someone younger than me is starting to "show his age"? That's not cool. Anyway, he seems to want to come back to play for the Dallas Mave... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261967&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 The Dallas Mavericks were lucky to beat the Raptors--final score was 97-96. It was really down to the wire! http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261968&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 The Dallas Mavericks took game one of their series against the Memphis Grizzlies last night. The final score was 103-93 and the Mavericks lead the Grizzlies by as much as 18 points during the game. Jason Terry was on his game and Dampier was all about the rebounds with 12. Dirk Nowitzki was the star, however, with 31 points and 11 rebounds. Go Mavs! http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261969&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 The Dallas Mavericks are currently suffering through the longest losing streak of the season. We lost to the Orlando Magic, Detroit pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers this week. The Magic played well for what seems to be the first time all season yet had no answer for Dirk Nowitzki who managed 38 points. While it was hard to watch them lose to a sub-par team like the... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261970&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 Dallas Maverick Jerry Stackhouse was bitten by Robert Horry of the San Antonio Spurs during play at the AT&T Center. Horry bit Stackhouse while they were scuffling for the ball. Ref Dick Bevetta said he did not see the bite, which sent Stackhouse into a post-game tirade heavily laden with foul language directed at the veteran official. Horry got his just desert... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261971&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 The Dallas Mavericks are on a thirteen game winning streak and have one of the deepest benches in the NBA. They are playing with chemistry and benefiting from their expert leadership. The fact that Avery Johnson can bench a top player like Eric Dampier and have that player act honorably, not whiney like some, says a lot for the Mavericks as individuals and as a team. It was the right move and we have been winning ever since. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261972&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 The Dallas Mavericks just came off their best road trip in franchise history! 5-0! I have to give credit to Avery Johnson. The Little General has done a lot for this team. His encouragement has changed this Maverick team into a squad that has a lot of fun when they are on the court. It seems like a simple thing to have fun playing NBA Basketball, but it isn’t. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261973&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49
