WIN or GO HOME

By Katrina King

Mavs have got to win tonight in San Antonio if they have hopes on winning this series.. The intensity in the building is awesome! The series is tied 1-1.

Spurs host the Mavs in San Antonio tonight. Spurs have lead the game for both quarters before the half, Dallas stays close. J.J. Barea came off he bemch to give the Mavs a spark off the bench. Caron Butler not as effective in game 3...hmmm.

Manu Ginobili was cut on his nose by Nowitzkis' elbow...ouch!! Mani had to go to the locker room, ESPN's Heather Cox reports that his nose was bleeding perfusely and may be broken. Unlikely, he'll return to the game tonight.


Jason Kidd scored his first field goal of the game in the 3rd quarter. Where has he been?

Dallas Cowboys pick Dez Bryant in NFL Draft

By K. King

In the 20101 NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys pick Dez Bryant from Oklahoma, a wide out in the second round.

"When I fell to the Cowboys, that's the best thing that ever happened to me," he said. "I'm so happy I got picked and it doesn't matter where I got picked. I'm excited and I'm ready to go to work." says Dez Bryant, the Lufkin, Texas, native.
The Cowboys ,traded up three picks in Thursday's first round of the NFL Draft - from No. 27 to No. 24 - to grab the gifted, embattled Oklahoma State wide out who watched his stock drop over the past months.
Cowboys owner and general manager believes in giving talented and sometimes trouble youth (not saying that Dez Bryant is a trouble youth, however he does come from a disadvantage childhood), a chance of a lifetime. Bryant will be wearing number 88 this season, a jersey Hall of Fame's Drew Pearson and Michael Irvin wore. When a reporter asked Dez about the history of the number and its significance he didn't have a clue. Did not know to much about Drew Pearson playing days and was familiar with Michael Irvin. When Drew Pearson played for the Dallas Cowboys Dez Bryant probably wasn't born yet. When Michael Irvin played for the Cowboys, Dez Bryant was probably a toddler or playing little league football.
Anyway, the fans will definitely see this season just how well Dez Bryant will perform.

Spurs beat Mavs in game 2 of NBA Playoffs

By K. King

Well, I hate to said it, but the Spurs blew out the Mavs by 14 points, 102-88 on Mavs home court in the American Airline Center. The Spurs must have watch films of game 1 all night and all morning before game 2 tip-off time. The Spurs started the game strong, holding the Mavs to 36% shooting. Spurs held the lead the entire game. Tim duncan finished with 25 pts, Manu Ginobili, 23 pts.
Dirk finished with 24 points, Jason Terry had 27 points, and Caron Butler finished with 17 points. Rookie Rodrigue Beaubois did not play, Coach Carlisle decision. Coach needs to let the rookie play perhaps he could've help the Mavs win.
Game 3 is in San Antonio Friday night at the AT&T Center.

2010 Western Conference NBA Playoffs, Baby!!!!

K.King
This is the Play-offs baby!!! The Atmosphere is electric and the adrenaline is pumping. Dallas is in the playoffs again this year. " We hope to win the The Dallas Mavericks play host to the San Antonio Spurs in the 1st of 7 games in the Western Conference playoffs. Dallas has made 10 straight playoffs appearance, however, the opportunity to advance to the second round has always been a challenge for the Mavs.
Dirk Nowitzki has had trouble in the playoffs, it seems teams plan their game plan around him. Now with the addition of Caron Butler and Brandan Haywood, the Spurs will have to focus their attention on the Butler, Haywood, in addition to Nowitzki.
