Interesting how Dallas is just using Finley as a perimeter jump shooter. Has Finley become Dan Marley? Athletic leaper and scorer early in career...outside ace in the Autumn of his career?
Um Jimbo...we already are in first place in the division, we cannot get any higher. Now would be the time to play for HCA.

What's with the luck shots at the end of periods? Now Nash throws one in falling under the basket with under a second left in traffic.
Finley is spotting up and nailing it from the outside tonight. Incredible. Tied at 91. They finally got Booth in there to get some rebounds, Armstrong to play some D on Nash and what do you know? Mavs back in it.
Nowitzki takes it strong and draws Amare's 5th foul. Nice thinking on Dallas' part. Now Amare sits for a few minutes trailing by 5.
Finley is just totally on fire from the arc.![]()
Darrell Armstrong has made such a huge difference on defense for the Mavs.
Finley for 3 AGAINNN!!! Dude. No one within 20 feet of him.
Suns 11 pts ONLY 4th Qtr? so the Mavs CAN actually play defense, huh?
4:29 left 107-99. Amare still sitting.
Armstrong, Finley and Howard actually playing decent D and without Amare in there, Dallas is playing tighter on the other players.
Booth wide open from Finley.
Amare for the and 1. They great ones always get the roll, don't they?
Finley with the shot clock down to 1 fadeaway in the corner, Bang!! 2 pointer.
What a tough shot that was! 113-106 Dallas with 42 sec. left.
Nash patient even under pressure D, takes it all the way in and the smoke clears for the layup.
Finley fouled intentionally following Dallas breaking the full court press. 2 FTs good.
The Mavs look pretty damn good.
They are just ho-hum wiping the floor with the Suns down the stretch like the Suns are the Bobcats or something.
And since when is Calvin Booth Amare Stoudamire?
25 min left 4th 115-108 Mavs.
It's over.
Not so fast. Q hits a 3 from the top of the circle with 18 sec. left. 115-111
I just fell off my back porch and fear that I now have a visible injury - my right (face) cheek seems to have swollen to the point that my right eye is semi-closed. Now, this makes me think about the injuries suffered by any number of NBA players. Ankles, knees, tendonitis, etc.
I am going to have to appear at work tomorrow with some type of visible injury. I am also going to have to explain why I look the way I most certainly will.
I will go to work; I will keep on trucking; isn't that what we need to do?![]()
Holy , the clock didn't move on the barbosa drive
Amare takes a 3 from the top? Rims out, Howard reb. and fouled with 14.4 left.
2 FTs by Howard good. 117-111.
Barbosa scores layup quickly but no time runs off clock?? Okay they set clock at 9.4 now.
Terry fouled. 2 FTs good 119-113.
Amare misses corner 3 it's over.
For real? You've got to be careful there girl.
The Mavericks are the second best team in the NBA. If they avoid playing the Spurs in the Playoffs, they will win the Championship.
Second best, Spurm? What about Miami?
another huge homecourt LOSS for the Suns
They are 2-0 vs. Miami this year. Erick Dampier is one of the best in the league at guarding Shaq. If healthy, I'd take Dallas in 6 over Miami.
That's a good point...but Shaq in the Finals (not to discount Detroit because they're jellin' now)?
Mia is not that good. And extended series play no longer helps Shaq as it once did...he wears down now...especially by the finals.
back to All-Star Break Record:
...Mavericks rally from a 10-point halftime deficit for a 119-113 victory over Phoenix on Thursday night.
The loss dropped the Suns to 41-13 and denied them an opportunity to finish with the best record in the NBA before the All-Star break. Instead, that honor goes to the idle San Antonio Spurs (41-12).
Dallas (35-16) completed a perfect four-game trip with the victory. The Mavericks beat three of the league's elite -- Phoenix, Sacramento and Seattle,
(hmmn, note : NO S.A.)
We're back on TOP.![]()
TO Spurs All-Star participants-Timmy,Manu,Benu,Coach Pops & Coach PJ: GOOD LUCK, GUYS!
