It's Saturday in Dallas, Texas and the Utah Jazz are on the road visiting the Mavs hoping to stop their winning streak. The Dallas Mavericks will try to win 12 in a row against the Utah Jazz tonight at the American Airlines Center.

Tonight, the Mavericks organization pay tribute to the military serrvice men and women who have risk their lives for us making our country safe. For that, Texas Sports Beat along with the Dallas Mavericks say Thank You and Happy Holidays.

Now back to tonights action here at the AAC. It's half time and the Mavericks lead the Utah Jazz 54-42. The all so handsome Utah guard Deron Williams lead his team with 12 points, while the Dirk lead the Mavs bench with 13points.

Although the Mavs its winning streak win with fast breaks and scoring, the rebounding still lacks especially on the offensive boards. DeShawn Stevenson has really evolve this season, shooting the three pointer with confidence. DeShawn spoke on his ability to feel more comfortable and at ease with himself this season.

When he arrive last season during the all-star break with Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood, he was thrown into the Mavericks rotation having to learn on the road during game time with little practice. This year the guys were able to get some summer league action in, lose weight, build up chemistry with the organization and play their game with comfort and ease.

They have a fabulous owner in Mark Cuban who have gone the extra mile making sure the players are comfortable here in Dallas.

The Houston Rockets traveled to Dallas without their center Yao Ming who is still bothered by a bruised sore ankle as well as a recently healed broken foot. Since joining the rockets Yao has struggle with injuries preventing him from fully giving his best.

Ming joined the Rocketss after legendary Hakeem Olajawon retired from basketball. Ming really have not given the Rockets organization it's money worth. Yao hates to admit that his basketball playing days are coming to an end, in fact he hasn't spoke about it publically, but those of of in this business tend to know when a player's career is coming to an end.

But if you think about it he can't nor has he played a full season! Unfortunately for both the team organizationa and Yao Ming his days are over.

Cowboys win again! Barbar needs to cut his hair!

By Katrina King

Cowboys win their second game under interim and next Dallas Cowboys head coach, Jason Garrett. Offense was awesome, defense was simply terrific! Did the boys quit playing for former head coach Wade Phillips? Yes they did.. The reinvigorated Cowboys are now playing with a purpose... to keep their jobs! The boss, owner and general manager Jerry
jones, has warned that he will fire eveyone who isn't fired up about winning....period.

That message got everyone's attentions.. So not only are they playing to win, they're palying to stay employed. Interim coach, Jason Garrett is sounding and looking like a head coach. He's consistent with his message on discipline, arriving to meetings no tardies, practice earlier and prompt is mandatory.

Garrett has also encourage the players to think and act like businessmen. I say they need to take ownership or part ownership in the team..After all, it is their team! It's America's team and dag gone the current players need to play like it.

Marion Barber needs to either cut his hair or shorten his dredlocks. Otherwise, another opposing player is going to take him down by his hair!!!

Thank goodness for Kitna's patience in the game. He remain patient for playing time and remain committed and stayed prepared and now his time is here. He's gracious, humble and thankful for the opportunity. Too bad Romo's injury was Kitna's blessing. But these types of situations happen that's why every team have a back-up quarterback. They sit and stay ready waiting on their name to be call. These back-up quarterbacks know exactly what their roles are.

Congratulations!, Kitna. Do your thang..

Mavericks Basketball

I'm watching the Mavs play New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night in New Orleans.  As the cameramen pan the floor  as they keep up with the game , I see owner Mark Cuban sitting one row behind the bench.  Cuban is one chair behind his team!  Wow!! Just how rich is Mr. Cuban?

Caron Butler is back in rotation.  He suffer a minor ailment a couple of weeks ago and has set out.  He's back now.

Roddy Beaubois is still on the injured list.  No estimate date when he'll return.

Former Rockets forward Ariza is playing for the Hornets.

Nowitzki is a born scorer...he gets his points(double figures) in most games. 

Coach Rick Carlise favors actor Jim Carey.

Dirk Nowitzki is no punk!  He squabbles with the best of 'em.
