Road Game @Memphis - After some light shooting during practice and pre-game shootaround with the team in previous days, Dirk Nowitzki is in tonights starting line-up against the Memphis Grizzlies. It may be too soon for the big guy to get in there and run up and down the court.
Taking very careful and calculated shots, Nowitzki only played about 15 minutes of game time and 7 points. Becoming frustrated with the officiating , Dirk received two technicals and was escorted off the floor. With a five game losing streak, it's easy to see the teams frustration. Whatever the case, frustration has been building up within the team, some bad officiating also bare some blame.
Offensive play came from an unlikely source against the Grizzlies, Ian Mahinmi, Mavericks (F) played impressively tonight for the Mavs. Scored 17pts, 21 minutes and 6 rebounds. Unfortunately, not enough to help the Mavericks leave Memphis with a win. J.J. Barea suck from the FG, Jason (J.T.) had an awful night as well. Brendan Haywood played decent, Tyson Chandler was out ill.
The Mavs lose to the Grizzlies, 70 - 88. A five game losing streak. The Mavs have had two five game losing streak in the ten years.
