What a night for Dallas Mavericks Corey Brewer!! Not only did he start, he finished the game with 20 points! Good move for Coach Carlise he was able to bear witness to a hard player ready to take on anybody...all he needed was I chance (I like to take credit in making it happen.

In the post game interview after the game and win, coach Carlise first gave a statement about the Jason Terry a nd J.J. Barea conflict. All coach said, "it's an internal issue", and left at that when pressed to answer. Then coach took questions and talked about the game and the "Player of the game", Corey Brewer. One reporter asked about Brewer and the spark hw provided off the bench Carlise comments were evident. The kid surprised him. So as a reward for playing well in the game, coach started Brewer against the Clippers. In the first half , Corey scored 14 points (also bench points), two steals, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Carlise along with the fans, even Mark Cuban (who was chanting Corey! Corey! Corey!. After the post game interview, waited on Brewer for comment about the game...never saw him. Have to interview him some other time.

Mavs Owner Mark Cuban dislikes media coverage.

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.
