Attended Mavs shootaround today before the Denver game tonight. Mavs play host to the Denver Nuggets tonight at the American Airline Center. Not much to talk about..Coach Carlise spoke a little bit about nothing, same rhectoric about the team. I ask if his line up will be different tonight against Denver and if the fans will see something different, such as Corey Brewer receiving minutes. The fans want to see something different.. His reply was "We'll have to wait and see". He went on to let me know Corey is active for tonights game. Regarding tonight's game against the Nuggets, Tyson dirk Chandler will not play neither will Jason Kidd. Chandler fell and hurt his tail bone and Jason is out resting up for the playoffs. This may be one of the few games (although crucial) Kidd will sit out.


In Other News: After shoot around, Mark Cuban held a press conference introducing a new fun way for the fans to become engaged at the game during timeouts or halftime. The new andriod device is called 'Augmented Reality'.. I'll talk more about the A.R. later. After the press conference about the new app (augmented reality) the talk turn to Mr. Cubans dislike for the way media portrays his company. It is Cubans opinion, the media negativity reporting hurts his team. He feels there should be less opinion and more fact, not both. If you are writing a column then it should identify that this is "opinion".. He prefers the reporter to keep opinion out of writing when it comes to his team. However, if the reporter has an opinion and wishes to write it simply state that it is an "opinion". Otherwise, he threatens to banned reporters from the locker room or limit their access.
