In New Orleans, LA - The Mavericks can not win in voo doo city. Mavs mojo will not work. The fans all have their voo-doo dolls out and using them dolls as pin cushions on the Mavs. Mavs had a great lead up by 17 points at the half. Somehow in the second half the boys left their defensive game in the locker room.



A few guys played well, Tyson Chandler was a beast on the boards. Looks as if his ankle is feeling great cause he was slamming dunls all night long (sexy).. Jet was quiet tonight so were a few others, J.J. Barea, Shawn Marion left the game with a sore right rib and would not return.

In the post game interview coach Carlise simly said when asked if he was disappointed with his team play: "Sure, I'm dissapointed".

The Dallas Mavericks redeemed themselves to a 108-105 win over the Minnnnesota Timberwolves. the win didn't come easy. T-Wolves, Beasley was on the prowl scoring as if there were a full moon. In fact he and teammate Love were like wolves in a pack, prowling and tatunting their prey. But the Mavericks didn't give up, after the half they came out shooting with silver bullet buckets holding the T-Wovles and Beasley with every defensive stop they (Mavs) could muster.

Dirk was in early foul trouble in the first quarter so coach Carlise had to change the rotation in the game. He called on Brian Cardinal who stepped his game up with 12 points. Brendan Haywood had a excellent game last night showing his aggressive hussle in the middle. Pullin down rebounds and laying the ball back in. J.J. Barea had a great game knocking down 3's

Corey Brewer played a few minutes enough to help Dallas win and Roddy B. illustrates his foot is fine and he too, is eady to make this playoff run.

What a heart breaking loss for the Mavs last night (Sunday 3.6.11). The game went down to the wire and then Grizzlies Zach Randolph threw up a high shot, and it went in. I wonder what happens to a team to make them give up 41 points to an opposing team only to comeback and win?!

Coach Carlise said; " We didn't take the challenge at either end. The whole game is the 3rd quarter. You give up 41 points, turn it over 6 times, and basically don't take the challenge - you get what you deserve. That's really the bottom line."

Ahh ohh... look out for the Knicks.

Look out! the Knicks are going to be the team to beat with Melo on the team. Whew, finally the deal is done ( 7 months) and Carmelo Anthony gets what he wants and is on his way to the New York.

The business transaction involves three team trade including the Minnesota Timberwolves. Carmelo wanted to go to the Knicks from the very beginning and the Knicks knew it. The Nets sealed the deal when the up the price sending Melo straight to the Knicks. The Knicks didn't get off cheap, they paid plenty for Melo.
In addition to Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks also received Chauncey Billups. Billups played in Detroit for a stint and six years in Minnesota. While in Minnesota Billups was able to bring and have much success. No doubt, Billups will deliver with the Knicks. His game will become superlative along side Carmelo and the rest of the boys.

The Knicks debut Wednesday night (2.23.11) at Madison Square Garden as they host the Bucks.

Heartbreak in Cleveland

Ahhhh, what a heartbreaker for Antawn Jamison and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The team is struggling real bad to get a win these days. They have lost 25 consecutive games.
Cavaliers played a hard fought game but the Mavs played harder. Cavaliers lost within 2 points! Both teams fought for the lose ball and Dallas came up with it.

The impact LaBron James had on this team before and after his departure is noticeably visible in the "L" column. Antawn Jamison was devastated and disappointed at the lost. " We have to keep playing hard..We're playing hard unfortunately we are not coming away with a win" says Cavaliers Forward Antawn Jamison .

The Mavs brought in Peja Stojakovic to help the Mavs on defense, offensive and wherever he fits in. Peja have not played the game for a few months and arrived in Dallas not readily available. I must say I am not surprise when it comes to the Maverickss nad their trading practices.

Stojkavic started and will undoubtedly come off the bench to add relief to Tyson and Dirk as and when needed. Peja will be expected to score. The Mavericks on the other hand have won 8 straight games in a row. That's right eight straight games!. I asked Nowitzki if it is safe to say that the team plays different (losses) with him out the game versus with him in (wins). He had this to say: "


In the first quarter, Stevenson was shaking up by a defensive moved that put him on the floor against the Cavaliers and Dirk was rattled a bit on an offensive move that looked like he may have hurt his right hand.

I'm sitting high looking low and can see the teams trainer, Casey Smith, taking a look at that hand. Dirk leaves the floor headed back to the locker room to further examine his hand. No worries fans, Dirk returns to the game. Stojakovic will receive some playing time afterall.


The Cavaliers aren't the explosive team they were with LaBron James. They play decent, yet they have lost 24 games in a row!. There is a significant diffrence since King James has left.

Dirk and Tyson Showcase..together the Mavs win 5th in a row.

Dallas, Texas - It's Mavericks mania tonight, starting Super Bowl week off with a win against the Washington wizards. The Pittsburgh, Steelers are in the house tonight but no one can get close to the team. The floor of the V.I.P suites the team occupy are in block off and you must show a ticket to prove you belong on that floor...the high dollar floor.

Having Dirk back in the line up really makes a difference for the team as a whole. Accompany by Tyson Chandler, contributing his 18 points, 14 rebounds (both offensively and defensively) of the night, and Dirk with 16 points, chances are the Mavs would have struggle for the win, especially their 5 win in a row.
