Mavs Win!

The Dallas Mavericks hosts Don Nelson and the Golden State Warriors tonight at the American Airline Center. Mavericks are 2nd behind the San Antonio Spurs and must win this game against the Warriors to stay ahead.


Spoke with Mark Cuban tonight regarding the trade between Chris Humphries and Eduardo Najera. I asked him to explain to me why this particular trade was necessary? Mr Cuban, explain to me and the fans why this particular trade makes sense? Mr. Cuban this trade does not make sense to me, please explain the reason for trading Chris Humphries for Najera?
" It makes all the sense in the world. He'll provide energy off the bench -scoring- and besides Chris wasn't getting the minutes behind Damp and Gooden" . I pressed, Mr. Cuban, may I call you Mark?" Humphries provided the same thing that you traded Najera for? "Bottom line, it makes sense finacially...always the bottom line. Trading Humphries allows us leverage under the salary cap". Cuban added.

After I spoke to Mavs owner, Mark Cuban, I visited with Eduardo Najera on his return back to Dallas. " I love being back. I still own property in Dallas so I really haven't left. I've been gone 5 1/2 years." The fans treated me with love when I played here, so I'm glad to be back".
Ladies, you didn't have a chance to get to see the handsome Chris Humphries play. Look for him with the New Jersey Nets.


Spoke with Josh Howard about the usual stuff about the game, he referred me to coach Rick Carlise on some questions. For the most part, though, Howard is just trying to play his role and do what coach Carlise ask of him.

Mavs win big in the Big Apple, 50 point victory!

By Trina

Whew! what a loooong road trip for the Mavericks ending in a win against the New York Knicks, 128/78. That's right fans a 50 pts win! Don't get too excited things could go down hill after the All-Star break but for now the Mavs will enjoy this franchise 50 pt victory. The soldier, Drew Gooden had an outstanding game with a double, double game. Drew has played well this entire season on and off the road. The rest of the bench had an opportunity to play as well, rookie, guard Roddy Beaubois, was a spark off the bench pushing the ball hard, passing and scoring; third year forward James Singleton had double digits off the bench and fought for offensive boards; Matt Carroll, a name you rarely hear scored 7 pts off the bench Tim Thomas presence was felt with an in your face dunk even Dallas native and Kimble high school grad, Quinton Ross saw playing time.

The bench had a good time today, lots of smiles from the guys. Mavs had seven players in double digits. It's about time coach Carlise played the bench allowing the starters to rest. Jason Kidd and Erick Dampier did not play. Dampier was ruled inactive by coach Carlise, his play hasn't been that good on the road. No consistency....I wasn't surprise to see he did not play.

Mavs Jason Kidd Receives Award

NBA CARES COMMUNITY ASSIST AWARD FOR DECEMBER

NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2010 – The NBA has named Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Kidd as the recipient of the NBA Cares Community Assist Award for December in recognition of his outstanding efforts in the community and for his ongoing philanthropic and charitable work.

The NBA is honoring Kidd for his work helping children and families in need throughout the Dallas area and beyond. Most recently, in an effort to bring holiday cheer to kids, he treated 50 youngsters from the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center to an unforgettable shopping spree. Kidd also made a personal donation to the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children to be spent on gifts for the boys and girls who had to spend the holidays undergoing difficult medical treatments. Finally, during the annual Christmas in the Park event, Kidd helped brighten the holidays for more than 15,000 Dallas youngsters by handing out toys. The yearly event provides toys, food, clothing, and more to local families in need thanks to the generosity of local residents, businesses, and organizations.

“Giving back to the community is very important to me because the community has given me so much throughout my career,” Kidd said. “Fan support has really kept me going and it means a lot to me. I’ve been so lucky to have a career doing what I love. I love helping others—good service to others is what brings you true happiness.”

Kidd continued his efforts to make the holidays bright for kids in need by inviting two Make-A-Wish youngsters – 4-year-old Caleb and 18-year-old Jonte – and their families to Mavericks games in December. After the games, he visited with his young fans and introduced them to all of his teammates. Kidd also made time during the Mavs’ sixth annual Seats for Soldiers Night on Dec. 12 to meet each soldier in attendance and thank them for their service and dedication.

As the December NBA Cares Community Assist Award recipient, Kidd will receive the David Robinson Plaque with the inscription, “Following the standard set by NBA Legend David Robinson who improved the community piece by piece.” In addition, a $5,000 donation will be made by the NBA to the Jason Kidd Foundation.

The league presents the NBA Cares Community Assist Award monthly to recognize players for their charitable efforts. The award honors the NBA player who best reflects the passion that the league and its players have for giving back to their communities.

Congratulations Jason!!

Utah Jazz beat the Dallas Mavericks ...bad

By K. King

Dallas, Tx - The Mavericks had a cold shooting night...not only was it in the 17 degrees outside the American Airlines Center (AAC) so was it inside. the Mavericks struggle the entire game. The game tied at 18 points in the first quarter, The Jazz went on a 8-0 run for the rest of the period taking a 8 point lead into the 2nd qurter. I asked coach Carlise about offensive boards giving Mavs an opportunity for second chance points. Coach had this to say, "We had 14 tonight, we just didn't play well".

In tonight's game, Mavs center, Erick Dampier had 6 offensive rebounds and 7 rebounds for the Mavs. Damp has been performing well this season. Again, I once compare him to former Mavs center James Donaldson...all height and no hands. Damp needs to learn to dunk the ball each time he gets it especially under the basket. Makes no sense when he wants to lay it up and miss it. A wimp move. Dunk it!!!!

You can count of Dirk to get his points each game. This dude is a natural born scorer. Nowitzki scored 29 points, 8 rebounds and 10 for 10 in free throw attempts in tonight's game.

Josh Howard (left quadriceps) and Drew Gooden (left ring finger) were both out due to injuries.
