Dallas - The Dallas Mavericks hosts the Atlanta Hawks tonight (Saturday 1-29-2011) , at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. it's a clear beautiful night in Big D and the temperature is mild to low seventies. The Plaza is lit up with three dimension, high depth quality sliding , colorful screens.

The fans are out no matter what...die hard Mavs fans. Inside the crowd is eclectic....this is a good game between Atlanta and the Mavs. At press time, TSB doesn't have .
"Final Box" stats, yet it appears Chandler in the middle has made a huge difference, while Dominique Stevenson) dominate the three spot tonight

While I don't have the final stats, yet, I bet Marion have scored good tonight, Dirk-although still shows signs that he is hampered by his knee, you can tell he is not comfortable jumping off his knee. Dirk remains adamant about scoring...and he does.

Brendon Haywood is receiving playing time and performing well. Hustling, creating shots, knocking down free throws, doing real good. The last time I spoke to Brendan is when he and coach Carlisle had their communication breakdown - I encouraged him to take his frustration out in the game, earning playing time. I guess he listened.

OMG, I can not forget about J.J. (J.J. Barera) he always bring his game each game. J.J. is only 6 feet tall, therefore, he is able to around and alsmost through those tall seven footers:)

Good to hear my good friend on the air, Derek Harper, former Mavericks guard - sitting in for another good friend Bob Ortegal. Good to hear and see you, Derek.
