Mavs win 7 straight games Mavs vs. Hornets

By K. King
For the first time in Mavs history have they won 7 straight games in a row.. Mavs hosted the New Orleans Hornets tonight at the American Airlines Center. Hornets guard Chris Paul did not play coaches decision.

During tonight's game, Jason Kidd moved into fourth all time leader in steals list. He finished the game with 13 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Dirk Nowitzki scored a game-high 36 points, his 15th 30-point game of the season. Dirk always get his points.. The only Maverick to score in double digits each game.
Caron Butler, returned to the starting line-up after he missed two games with a reaction from a medicine. Mo specifics given...nor did I pressed for an answer. He finished with 19 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assists and 4 steals...

Dallas has won 7 straight games for the longest winning streak with 5 straight at home. After the game, I spoke with coach Carlisle regarding 7 wins in a row thisis what coach had to say:"It's good. We played a great first half. Third, quarter, got shaky with turnovers but we hung on. It's a good win against a good team". On Caron Butler, "Thought he looked good. Made the big defensive play and I thought what I really like is he's playing both ends of the floor. Offensively, he's real consistent and gets good looks. Our guys are getting a good feel as to where and when to deliver the ball. Defensively, he battles and stays and stays within the system. When he's in a position to make a play, he does. Like he did on that last play where he goes down and Haywood follows it in. Good to see him back out there. It really helps our rotation."

Mavs win 6 in a row! Mavs beat Hawks 111-103 in OT

By K.K

Mavs beat the Atlanta Hawks (score), 6 in a row!!! Do you believe it.. Pinch yourself for now. Jason Kidd did his thing along with Jet and Dirk. Caron Butler still not play due to an allergic reaction to some medicine coach Rick Carlise said " he took a couple of days ago. DeShawn Stevenson got the guard start tonight. Jason played an outstanding game "one for the ages" Coach Rick Carlisle said.

Kidds triple double - 19 points, 16 rebounds,and 17 assists was simply amazing!!!


Mavs are playing with enthusiam and energy. Since the acqusition of the new players the team spirit is high. The guys are having fun, kidding around in the lockerroom joking with the media...not giving us a hard time, which is what they do when they lose.

Mavs Beat L.A....101-96

by K.K
Mavericks beat the Lakers in front of a sell out crowd of 20,505. Jay-Z and Beyonce' were among the attendance in the crowd. Jay-Z was in concert Tuesday night at the American Airlines Center. I sat on the floor, literally taking pictures, and a Laker ran out of bound, step on my left leg, my shin. Ouch!!!I was sore the rest of the night..I Love It!!!!

Caron Butler did not play in the win against the Lakers, he suffered from an allergic reaction to medicine....but the Mavs didn't him Dirk Nowitzki scored 31, Jason J.T. Terry put up 30 points leading the Mavericks to a much needed win against Kobe and the Lakers.

Mavs new center, Brendan Haywood had 3 block shots and 4 offensive rebounds, the most any Mavericks has had in Maverick History. The teams defensive mind set seem to have changed since the acquisition of the trade.. Pre trade, the team seem to have lost their fizzle, coach Rick Carlise, couldn't figure it out only tosay that "it's up the players to change their minsdset." coach Carlise said. "They do what to do some how I've got to try to get them to change their mindset".

Shawn Marion said the their mindset has always been there. "We lost our fizzle along the way first half of the season, now we're back". He agree that the new acquisition has made the difference. Fans can count on Dirk to score 25 30 points a game, against the Lakers he scored 31 pts. Kobe was held to 20 points, Mavs defensive stops paid off well holding the Lakers to under 50% shooting of the night.

Finally...The Mavs have a new Center..Brendan Haywood

That's right...finally the Dallas Mavericks has a center who is not afraid to get beat up in the middle. Mavs haven't had a explosive center since Roy Tarpley in the eighties. With the acquisition of Brendan Haywood nand the talents he possessed, the Mavericks may get past the first round. I spoke to Brandon tonight and we talked about his being a Dallas Maverick and about tonights game. "We had to fight and scrap tonight to get the win and the back-to-back kind caught up with us early and we didn't have the energy we need in the first half. "It's definitely crazy on where I was a few weeks ago to where I am now. I went to almost last in the East to first in our division in the West so it's crazy but at the same time it's a great feeling and I'm just happy to be a Maverick"

Caron Butler, Mavs New Superstar!

By K.King

That's right I said it, move over Dirk there's a new shooter in town and his name is Caron Butler. Acquired from the Washington Wizzards in the 7-3 trade, Caron says he's happy to be a situation where there's potential for winning as opposed to a situation where there no winning. "It feels good to be here", I'm excited because I'm in a good situation. The Mavs have won there last 3 games back to back with Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood in the starting lineup relieving some pressure off of Nowitzki..

Since the acquisition of the players, the third player is DeShawn Stevenson, who has yet to see playing time with the Mavs. When coach Rick Carlisle says Stevenson will eventually see some playing time. "He's a really good player". But coach, when will we see him play? "I can't tell you when". Carlisle said.



Brendan Haywood as an offensive rebounder? Coach Carlisle says "yeah, Haywood takes up space in there and comes up with a lot of balls. Some of the ones he doesn't come up with he's able to redirect back our way. It's very helpful. We had a couple of those in th ePhoenix game and maybe one or two tonight.

Heat, Mavs, D. Wade and The Kardishians

By K. King

Caron Butler and the Mavs host the Miami Heat Saturday night without Dwayne Wade. Dwayne suffered from an injury he sustained in the game against (name) .. to his left leg. At game time D. Wade did not play, wore street clothes with his left leg in a walking cast. Caron Butler is doing his thang with defense and scoring.

Sat next to Dallas Weekly sportswriter, LaToya Hardeman, we gossiped and recapped the activities that went on during the all-star weekend. We talked trade talk between Josh Howard and the Mavs. Josh felt snifed in the trade... Some haters speculate that Josh off the court behavior may have cost him to be tradable since he was at the end of his contract with the Dallas Mavericks.

Since being traded to the Wizzards, Howad has been playing well scoring in double figures.. Josh was ready to move on, his ties with the Mavs were severed for whatever reason. However, the fans haven't missed Josh, especially with newly acquired Coron Butler playing and exploding on the open court with his scoring and defense ability.

Since his arrival with the Mavs, the teams defensive energy has improved even Jason Kidd has been playing well.
