So Eduardo Najera is back after a trade involving Kris Humphries and Shawne Williams. I can see why this was made, it saves the Mavs some money (around 4.7 million) and releases a player off the roster that really just did nothing for the team anyways.
Supposedly Shawne Williams was benched due to his unprofessional attitude. Cuban put it as “put out to pasture” earlier this year.
As for Humphries, he has potential and was good but being a PF on a team with enough PF’s, he just couldn’t get the playing time he deserves. I’m sure the Nets will use and utilize his skills.
So Najera might not be the same player we knew before but hopefully he brings his great attitude and enthusiasm to the team.

1 commentThe Nets got handed their 18th straight loss of the season, opening up 0-18, which sets the new NBA record for the worst start in history.
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.

So with their huge blowout in Houston, the Mavericks of course followed up with an easy win in Indiana and then a loss in Cleveland. I was expecting a loss against the Cavs but didn’t expect Mo Williams to hit all his 3 pointers to basically push them ahead.
Last night the Mavs almost blew a 17 point lead but with Terry hitting a 17 footer with 1.4 seconds remaining to secure their win 104-102 against the Sixers.
This puts the Mavericks at 13-5 and still on top in their division, although the Spurs seem to have gotten their momentum going in the win category this past week.
The Mavs next game is against the winless Nets. I hope they don’t lose to this team, that would just be embarrassing. If the Mavs win against he Nets, they’ll contribute the team in the worst NBA start in history.
On another note about the Sixers matchup, Jason Kidd had one of his best games to date, scoring 22 points, 11 assists and 6 boards.
