This is sweet revenge from 2006. The Mavericks played with determination, with the help of Tyson Chandler and JJ Barea, two of the main factors we need to keep on the roster for possible repeats, that’s if the NBA lockout doesn’t destroy a whole season.

I know I’ve been sort of lacking the updates to this site but trust me, I’d rather be watching the Mavs than updating my site about them.

Let’s go Mavs in 2012 and beyond.

Basically Dampier was fouled, but the officials also said he threw an elbow on his way down in which a technical foul was called against him, his second of the game which is an automatic ejection.

If you review the play, it’s clear Dampier did not throw an elbow to cause harm. The officials could have taken back the technical thrown his way but didn’t after several on court reviews themselves.

Cuban is protesting this as a misapplication of the official rules and wants the last 1:01 of the game replayed with Houston up 110-104.

I actually couldn’t agree more and don’t blame Cuban for submitting the 10k it costs to protest such a call that could make or break a game. It might only be 1:01 left in the game but Dampier should have been allowed to make his free throws which potentially could make the score 110-106 with the Mavs getting the ball back after the flagrant foul was made against Dampier.

That’s just not the type of record you want to be a part of, unless of course y0u are the team that defeated them to make it.

That’s exactly what the Mavs did and did it nicely. Just to make things short, not one Maverick missed more than one shot in the first half, also getting a 49 point second quarter making 17-19 field goals, almost making it a perfect quarter and close to 90% FG.

Poor Nets, maybe your next game you’ll get some more luck but then again, the Bobcats are a better team. I think the only chance at a first win to gain some confidence is likely against the Knicks after their matchup against the Bobcats, then it looks likely for a few more losses after that with their current schedule.
