Last time I checked the box score, Gooden had 18 points, and Marion and Howard hadn't played a second. Are they injured?

Dirk had around 20 free throws. I remember hearing the new refs are calling games tight, a lot of fouls. We might see a lot more BS calls vs. Dirk this year; he flails around so much.

Marion was sitting next to Gooden... I haven't seen the whole game, so I have no idea if he played at all. I know Gooden did play.

He didn't play tonight. He sat out with a sore calf i believe.

Gooden continues to prove he can score and has a nice offensive arsenal but his defense hasn't improved much.

Humphries looks decent though.

Nota bad game just makes me want basketball to start even more... Overall I'm really surprised how good gooden played. Anybody know if he was playing the 5 spot most of the night orwhat ? Too bad marion or Howard didn't play though as that would of gave us a much better indication of how the mavs are gonna be this year...

I hope Dirk cuts his hair before the season starts. I won't be able to look at him with that headband for long.

The only thing I gathered from this game is that JJ Barea is so bad defensively that I don't even care about his playmaking abilities at the other end. I just want him off the court completely.

I thought Dallas played well. They won't miss Bass too much imo because Humphries is a solid player. Orlando looked solid as well.

It will be interesting to see the Mavs with J-Ho and Marion out there.

92 freethrows?

I really liked what I saw out of Gooden. It's nice to actually have offense out of your center. And he did some decent hustle on the defensive end from what I saw, including a great block on D12.

The offense is going to be absolutely nasty when they have Marion and Howard on the floor as well. Rebounding is going to be sick too.

The offense is going to be solid but the defense should struggle. I am not sure how Kidd/JHo/Marion will do defensively and Gooden/Dirk are not ideally suited to play defense together.

The Mavs seem to have good size though overall. How do yall feel about Humphries?

That was an abortion, even for a preseason game. I swear that shit took 6 hours.

Mavs lose at home, no surprises here.


Well considering we started Matt Carroll and Quinton Ross, I say it isnt a surprise.

Its kinda pathetic on Orlando's part that we were ahead most of the game tho.


Marion just set out because he had a sore calf, just a precautionary thing for the preseason.

So he's the Matt Bonner of the Mavs then?
