Game 14 VS Wizards - 12th September, 2007
LOSS 69-55

Dear oh dear....
Despite the efforts of Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavs suffer a crushing loss at home which was still on the table to be had at the end of the 3rd, and now leaves the Mavs saying "Where do we go from here?".
Not a very satisfying game for any Mavs Fan.

Game Notes:

Mavs shot a dismal 5/22 from 3pt land.
Wizards out-passed the Mavs 21-9.


HOME
Dirk's best performance thus far, as he lead the Mavs with 19 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.

AWAY
Butler lead the Wizards with 11 points & 4 rebounds.

Very upsetting loss for the Mavs squad. Do we write this one off as a bad game, or is there more to it?

 

[jimboiitmac]

Definately digging the win against the Spurs - Western Powerhouses baby!

 

[WoobieZarz]

Game 15 VS Clippers - 13th September, 2007
WIN 65-60

Dirk Stops Clippers!!!

The Mavs opened this one with a slow pace, letting the Clipper get an early lead, before cutting it to within 3 at half time. Started the 3rd on a 10-0 run and opened the game wide up. Start of the 4th saw the Clippers start what would be their last run for the win. Enter Dirk Nowitzki. Dirk with 2 solid block shots in the last 20 seconds saw the Mavs put a stop to the Clippers run, and seal the win with the late foul shots.

Game Notes:

Clippers unable to score 1 3pt shot.

With 14 games left in the season, the Mavericks are currently 4.5 games behind #1 Seed in the West (2 places outside #8). It is still possible to make the Playoffs, but there's still quite a few tough teams coming up (Hornetts, Bulls, Suns & Jazz).

It doesnt look like All-Star Weekend is on, only the actual All-Star Game.

 

[WoobieZarz]

Game 16 VS 76ers - 14th September, 2007
LOSS 67-52

Crawford comes to town, and goes to town.

The Mavericks dropped to 5 games behind #1 Seed, and 4 games outside the 8th spot.

There is still hope, but the next 4 games will really test the Mavericks with trips to New Orleans, Indiand and Phoenix, and a home game against the Bulls.

Game 17 @ Hornetts - 14th September, 2007
LOSS 71-56

Hornetts too tough for visiting Mavs.

Simply put, the Hornetts straight owned the Mavs. When there was a slight chance the Mavs were coming back in this one, the Hornetts would drop a couple of quick un-answered baskets, and jump out to another distant lead.

Hornetts out-rebounded 24-12
Hornetts 8-0 2nd Chance Buckets

HOME
Peja lead the Hornetts with 15 points & 4 rebounds.

In preparing for the trip to Indiana, Jerry Stackhouse has developed a sore knee, and is likely to suffer for 3 days, but should still be able to play through the slight injury.

 

[jimboiitmac]

since when was Jamal Crawford playing with the 76ers?!

 

[WoobieZarz]

He got traded mate. Can't remember who they picked up from it.

[jimboiitmac]

Good job to stave off good performances by Stephen Jax and Jermaine O'Neal.

Your nearly at the .500% mark - keep it up brother

Less than 50% the Mavs are currently sitting in #7 Seed for the Western Conf. Playoffs. They would face Phoenix should the Playoffs start today.

10 Games remain in the season.

The Golden State Warriors offered the Mavs Troy Murphy for Erick Dampier. A trade that the Mavs will not consider. Whilst they do have an interest in moving Dampier, but only for another Center, with a lesser contract.

 

[WoobieZarz]

Game 20 @ Suns - 22nd September, 2007

The Mavs rejected the Trade offer from the Warriors, and also another from Charlotte (1st Rnd Pick - next yrs for Deavon George).

They now sit in #8 Seed in the West, barley in the Playoffs. The Suns still sit in #2 spot, with Houston in #1.

Dirk Nowitzki leads all votes in the All-Star Starters, 475 more than Lebron James for the East.

Harris is #3 in the MVP award.
Godfrey is #5 in the ROY award.
Godfrey is #1 in the 6th Man award.
Harris is #1 in the MIP award.

Whilst these awards are nice to be in the top 5, they're not going to mean much if the Mavs don't make the Finals.

The Mavs tried to tweak the trade, and ende up having to add a 2nd Rnd Draft Pick also.

The Mavs will now look to move C Dampier before the Trade Deadling next week.

 

[WoobieZarz]

TRADE DEADLINE MEGA TRADE!!!

On the last day before the 2007 NBA Trade Deadline, the Mavs pulled off 2 successful trades.

First, they sent C Erick Dampier, G Anthony Johnson & G Maurice Ager to the Toronto Raptors for F Andrea Bargnani + the expiring contracts of Pop Sow & Darrick Martin. Making some cap room, and Roster space for the coming off-season.

The Mavericks the turned to Chicago for another trade.

The Mavs sent G Jason "Jet" Terry in return for G Ben Gordon, F Luol Deng & 1st Round Draft Pick.

The Bulls wanted to include F Tyrus Thomas if the Mavs included Andrea Bargnani, but the Mavs decided to keep hold of the Shooting Star Forward.

There's still plenty of wax left on the candle, but it needs to burn a lot brighter than it currently is.
