Quality winGet another one tomorrow.
Thanks Josh, the best thing you could have done was get yourself kicked out of the game.
It's too bad Dirk is turning into almost as big a 4th quarter pussy as J-Ho. Thank God for JJ Barea having a pair.
THIS IS A GREAT WIN!!!
We showed some 4th quarter resiliency, we had multiple guys contribute, everyone had a great game in my book.
Now does it mean we're turning a corner? I wouldn't say so, as we did something similar v the Suns in the late stretch of the regular season last year.
But the Mavs have given me a wonderful CHristmas present! A win on the road against a good team.
BASS/BAREA = STOCKTON/MALONE
DIRK IS THE BEST PF IN THE GAME
WHO SAID JASON KIDD IS DONE?
Anywho, I won't be able to watch the Jazz game tommorow. I hope we come out with another victory, but I'm not sure if we have the wherewithal to get 2 straight wins on the road against good teams. We'll see what happens.
GO MAVS!
Quality win

Great win tonight on the road, the JJB and Bass pick n roll won the game for the mavs. Kidd played well and Dirk played well until he got into foul trouble
B-Roy with 0 points in the 4th, great job George, Kidd and even Bass got a look on him
J-Ho is a ing dumb ass and need to be traded for anything
Tough game in Utah tomorrow night, Millsap is questionable with a sprained knee. If no Booz and Milsap the Mavs should win tomorrow; however this team could lay an egg tomorrow
on a side note, I've never watched "The Closer" before, mainly because of how much I hate the nonstop promos they play for it during basketball games. But that promo in the chopper where that ugly is all "I am giving you an order..........keep breathing!" had me dying from laughter. I might start watching that show just for the unintentional comedy.
How about Diop traveling on that wide open dunk?As much as i hate Bass at center, its time to DNP-CD Diop
Dirk stopped being aggressive after he got in foul trouble and JHO as a blessing to the Mavs got himself ejected.
Didn't matter though since Portland choked in the end anyways.
If Millsap and Boozer are out tommorow I'll be very disappointed if the Mavs lose.
Diop's trade value would probably rise if he never got playing time.How about Diop traveling on that wide open dunk?
Diop's a big softie in the immediate basket area.
I also haven't paid much attention to Oden this season, this is my first real look at him for an entire game.
That guy sucks.
Isnt it Dirks first game back in Utah since Piledriving AK47 to the floor?
They need to activate Stackhouse just for this game. That guy owns Utah like nobody else in the league. Both during the game, and when beating the out of them after the game.
Why yes it is.
Mono regarding DIrk being a "pussy" in the 4th the Bass/Barea P/R was working so why change it?
He had 2 points in the 4th I think off an and 1 anyway.
His defense was very passive in the 2nd half though after getting in foul trouble.
wheres tlong ahahhahaha go hide under rock man
Are you counting on that working every night? And in the playoffs?
I understand his terrible defense, he couldn't risk picking up another foul. But the fact that he had no interest in getting the ball, and when he did get the ball he displayed a Tony Romo level of carelessness with it, letting Outlaw poke that thing away more times than I can count in the 4th.
And eventually they didn't even bother going to him anymore. That's just pathetic IMO. But thankfully JJ Barea has the sack that Dirk never developed.
Mavs are playing very well as of late. I'm impressed.
They have some no named scrubs performing at very high levels (Barrea???)
When someone else helps with the offense early on, Dirk can get going later in the game like several games this season and almost all of last season.
He can't sustain his offensive aggression all game long and usually when he starts off hot, he cools down.
I agree though, he needs to demand the ball and stop waiting for the double team to pass out.
BTW as "fearless" as JJ is, some of that he was throwing up was stupid. Good thing Bass was there to clean it up on one look and the other two (jumper, 3) that he missed he was lucky Portland didn't capitalize on the other end.
We will need more out of DIrk in the 4th in the long run but I have no dissatisfaction with how he performed in the 4th tonight.. took 2 shots, made 1 ... played 11 minutes... played within the offense. Got some nice rebounds too.
It's not as if he's been completely gunshy in the 4th this year... for some reason his shooting % is really low.
I really wish we could fetch something for Josh.
Josh+ for Kaman
The stretch after the Utah game is really easy. There is no excuse for the Mavs not to go 6-1 or 7-0 in these next 7 games, including the Utah game.
That would put us at 23-12 or 24-11, which is great considering we started 2-7.
I thought the Mavs were pretty damn good tonight. Theyre 15-4 since they got their act together, and they play the Lakers pretty close.
This is an impressive win for us. Quality-wise, this is the best win of the season. The only other games I can point to is beating a short-handed Spurs team in San Antonio and a short-handed Rockets team in Houston. I'm not sold on what they're buying, that they can go to the playoffs and make some noise, but I'm finally intrigued by this team.
Portland has a good, young team, but they're not there yet, and Oden is looking pretty overrated.
15-4 is not bad.
