Not too much talk about the Mavericks yet. Still talk about the Rangers and the Cowboys. Soon, and very soon all the buzz will be around Tyson Chandler who finished the night with 11pts and 8 rebounds. Jet led the team in scoring with 25 points on the night, Shawn Marion, 20 pts, Nowitzki had 12 (maybe he was tired) ,and DeShawn Stevenson added his 11points on the night. If Terry continues his excellent play off the bench, he should be given the 6th man award.

The Mavericks are 5-2 at home and 3-0 on the road. Seems the depth of scoring on the bench is slowly showing potential. Coach Carlise have to be creative in distributing and rotating the starting line up. With game winning consistency, coach must stick with the formula that's currently working. Tyson Chandler is the best spark (and Brendon Haywood) the Mavericks have had at the center position. History past, the Mavs centers suck! Hopefully, that era is over.

Coach Carlise likes Chandler's passion for the game. "This guy is becoming one of our heart and soul guys. He really brings a spirit, a toughness and an energy and you know, he was huge tonight, but he has been really important for us all season". Coach Carlise expresses.

After the game for post game interview Mavericks center Tyson Chandler had this to say about the win. " It's huge because we're a team trying to get to that caliber and that's where we want to be. We want to have that kind of mind frame so coming in beating a tough minded like this and withstanding their run in the fourth quarter was huge for us. I'd much rather have a game like this where you grind it out because it builds character instead of a 15 to 20 point blowout."

Wells said, Tyson, however, we want the 15 to 20 point blowout and character..how 'bout that?!

This is Shaq wearing slippers in street clothes cheering for his team from the bench. Mavericks hosted the Boston Celtics at the American Airlines Center on Monday night Nov. 8th. The Mavs played well and again the new center for the Mavericks, Tyson Chandler played well with 12 points and 13 rebounds. Shaquille O'Neal, Boston's newly acquired center, did not play. Not sure if he was injured or he did not play, coaches decision.

Didn't bother Shaq much, he was laughing and talking with his teammates on the bench. I wonder; was his feet hurting?

Message to the Dallas Cowboys,

This is your team too! Play like it, damn it! TAKE OWNERSHIP or Jerry's rich ass is going to fire ALL of you !! Just because he can...how 'bout that? He IS NOT playing and being patience anymore. And, you have to give him credit for carefully exercising his patience with his ball players.

This man plays to win and expects his personnel, his employees to share the same vision. The Dallas Cowboys is America's Team. Champions! The organizations culture past has been associated witth winning and lengends. The likes of Roger Staubach, Tom Landry, Tony Dorsett, Drew Pearson.. Then introduced the new legends in Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, even Deion Sanders in his own right.

Wade Phillips fired, Jason Garrett hired..

By Katrina King

Well...Everyone saw this coming. This is Jerry Jones team! No matter who he brings in as head coach (including interim and next years head coach Jason Garrett). Mr. Jones told his boys that if they aren't serious about winning, they too can go home! Please believe him. He is fed up with the losing! Mr. Jones is a betting man and a betting man is a winning man.

Now that Jason Garrett is the new interim head coach and feels very confident that he will be the next coach of The Dallas Cowboys!.. During his press conference, Garrett spoke with confidence, eager and a readiness to move forward with his team. This is his opportunity.
