Tonight our beloved mavs continue their trip to Orlando, facing the Division leader Magic that is also considered as one of the top 4 teams in the league. We started the game with 6-2 but the magics ate up our 4-point leading gap soonly. The first quarter was really as tough as most fans expected, and it was closed at 25-27, mavs down by 2.
obviously 2pt leading gap is ignorable in such a tough game played by two team which are equally great. Our beloved tried very hard in the 2nd quarter but still not able to control the game, until our 17-5 run during the last minutes of this quarter. SVG was forced to call a time-out with 2:57 left on the block but we had already turned the trend around and erected a 5-point leading gap before his time-out. Just like his brother JVG, SVG's time-out didn't stop our striking waves but their offense got a little bit better after his time-out. Mavs finished the first half with 7pts leading gap over Magic, 54-47. Mavs outscored Magic 9pts in the 2nd quarter, 29-20.
We all expected during the mid-game blanket that the Magics would fight back in the 2nd half, but the game still steped on the same rythem of 2nd quarter. The dogfight we expected didn't appear, instead the magic acted like 03-04's magic team which was led by lazy-tmac. Our beloved Mavs were so tired of their bad performances that they tried they best to close the game as soon as possible. We outscored the Magic 7pts in this single quarter to broaden our leading gap to 14pts, and ended the 3rd quarter at 77-63.
We should still keep alarm if our opponent were spurs even when we are leading 14pt in the fourth, but Magic is not spurs though they tried their best to keep their fans from leaving the gym too early. Magic had got no chance to make any uncertainty in the 4th quarter, though they managed to shorten the gap to 10pts. Finally our beloved Mavs closed the game with a win, 105-95 over the Magic that is among the top 4 teams with the best records this season.

39:51 29pts 6rebs 3asts 12-21FG 5-6ft
our beloved Dirk is still wonderful tonight, despite his 2TOs and 12-21 FG which is not pretty good for Dirk. Dirk's mid-range shooting are still pretty cute but D Howard made it difficult for him to score under the hoop. and he also has to take some resposibilities for our poor defense on D Howard. D Howard is really hot tonight with a double double-35pts and 11 rebs, though that was still not able to bring them a win.
Jason Kidd:

35:59 13pts 5rebs 8asts 6-9FG 1-3ft
Kidd gets a "more than half of a tripple double" in the entire game, but what we should amphasize is his perfect work on the Magic's all-star PG Nelson who just scored 6pts, 3-9 FG. Besides Nelson just made 2 asts which is really minimal compare to kidd's 8 asts, never to mention his 5rebs to nelson's 2rebs, nelson was so sucking that SVG just played him 18min. Fans always tend to judge a roster by his stats, but tonite's head2head matchup has shown who is more deserving to appear at the all-star weekend.

34:08 13pts 4rebs 4-12FG 0-3 3pt
Howard sucks as he always did off the court, but this time he sucks on the court. Howard used to believe he was the best athlete among those addicts, but Michael "dolphin" proved him wrong yesterday. He really sucks at offense with 4-12 FG, 0-3 3pt, but he performed well at defensived end. His opponents at SF, lewis and hedo also sucked tonite, contributing 30 pts with 25 shots in combination.
Jason Terry:

32:37 23pts 3rebs 2 asts 7-15FG 2-3 3pt 7-7ft
terry played off the court as he usually does, with 23 pts. He shooted the 3pt 2-3 but still not able to make his FG over 0.5, 7-15 FG for terry. But he really did his work during the final minutes in the 2nd quarter to help our team take control of the game. I've never minded his FG since he was demoted to the bench, it's always easier to score with 2 stars taking most of the defensive pressure than fighting alone.
Erick Dampier:

23:11 6pts 7rebs 2-2FG 2-2FT
Erick played pretty well tonite, his stats are not quite special compared to his season average, but he's real good considering his opponent tonight is D Howard, though he allowed D Howard to score 35pts and left the game with 6 fouls. He played good on offense as well, 2-2 FG and hit both of the free throws he got tonight. Of course his big body also helped us alot at PicknRolls.

29:15 6pts 6rebs 2-4FG 1-2 3pt 1-2 FT
We all know his work is just to earn some resting time for terry at the beginning of games, he perfectly did it tonight. besides he also contributed 6pts and 6 rebs during his 29min, his opponent G.Lee's 2-8 FG should also be accounted into his efforts.
Jose Juan Barea:

12:01 7pts 2asts 3-5FG 1-3 3pt
he played good with 7pts and 2 asts, but his game time is still too short considering his age and kidd's. Although Barea is not as good as Kidd, we should still limit Kidd's minutes in order to "save for the playoffs".
Brandon Bass:

22:16 6pts 6rebs 2-3FG 2-2 FT
6+6 is pretty good for him I think. I don't want to compare him to Dampier but their stats are too alike to stop me doing this. Bass is well worth the money he gets from our team. Mavs always overpay their players, that's why our team is so "beloved".
