They said it was just a spained knee. He will probably sit out Friday then have the all star break to rest. No need to rush him back.
Was he shooting an ad for Converse?

Man I love my boys. These guys are my ing dawgs. GOD I LOVE THEM!! This team is becoming a ing defensive powerhouse. This is the best defensive Mavs team EVER!! Dirk is having an MVP season again and this team is the deepest by far in the league. GOD IM EXCITED ABOUT THESE GUYS COME PLAYOFF TIME!!
haha, i saw that and just shook my head...it was his own freakin' charge and it wasn't something he really needed to leave the court for, just a shoulder that got whacked a little
The Mavs are clearly the class of the West right now. Phoenix has thrown in the towel so to speak of making an emphasis of catching them for the #1 seed in order to make sure Nash is healthy plus they don't have the depth on the roster to keep pace with them in the regular season. However if is still up for grabs at the end they might go for it but I doubt it. By the end of March the West seedings will likely be set at the top 5.
Eh, I don't know, things can change rapidly, look at how quickly the Spurs fell after being up in the seedings. When we went 0-4, I wasn't throwing in the towel but I nearly threw it in when it came to getting first seed because of the way things went down to the wire last season between the Spurs/Mavs seedings. Ultimately, the only thing that should really matter to the Suns is Nash, HCA and such things can be overcome. Anyway, I'm interested in seeing everyone big who's injured back so that teams can get in the groove and really play, some of the big matchups between the good teams are getting messed up because of the absence of certain guys. Spurs and Mavs are healthy but Nash, AI, Boozer, Walton, Kwame, Yao need to come back soon after the break.
True things can change in a heartbeat but as of right now D'Antoni has said he won't make it a point of emphasis to catch the Mavs even if it means having to concede homecourt to them in a possible WCF series. They feel confident that they can win on the road if necessary. Phoenix is 19-6 on the road as well as the Mavs. You know as well as I do that both of these teams are capable of beating one another on each others floor.
and once again this turns into a mavs vs suns thread
and once again this turns into a mavs vs suns thread
Is not a Mavs vs Suns thread. Read before you post is not like me and Ponky are smack talking about which team is better. We are simply talking about possible playoff seeding. BTW in my post I actually said the Mavs are the best in the West right now.
except, look at the mavs' home record this season, ridiculously scary! haha, just kidding, you know you and i are cool!
howard is out 2 weeks with a sprained ankle.
Nice try I saw the other thread.
I'm not sure how you can claim D'Antoni is conceeding the #1 seed. Nash is hurt. He can't play. D'Antoni wants the #1 seed bad because he thinks he might get to avoid the Spurs that way. I think the Spurs will be the #3 seed still, and the fact is that Phoenix hasn't proven at all that they can hang with the Spurs. I don't care about the win they had this year. It means nothing. The Spus have dominated Nash his entire career.
I'm sure the Spurs will make it a point of emphasis to try to get the #3 seed and avoid the Mavs in the 2nd round (assuming Dallas holds on to the #1 seed).
Suns home record was decently impressive until 4th qtr meltdowns against the Hawks and Bulls.
I was watching my recording of the A&M/Tech game (dammit...) and flipping to the Mavs/Bucks game from time to time. At the end of the 3rd quarter, I left to get some food because I knew the Mavs were gonna come back and win it in the 4th... sure enough, I come back with 22 seconds left and they've got a 2 point lead and the ball.
It's like they were coasting the whole game and letting themselves stay down by double digits and then realized they were playing the Bucks. Unlike the Suns, who like to let Joe Johnson/Josh Smith/Kirk Hinrich/Luol Deng beat them in the 4th (again: dammit...). Mavs have that killer instinct and "mental focus" D'Antoni says has been lacking from the Suns and they proved it again last night.
With Howard (is he really injured? I only looked at other thread), AI, Kidd, and Nash out, All-Star Weekend has become worthless... good thing I'll be in Austin to celebrate someone's b-day so I can watch it all on my DVR when I get back and skip the boring parts with WNBA players.
Howard was never even hurt in last night's game. D.George got his knee banged and is probably out until after the all star break. He might have a MRI today but they're not sure it's necessary.
The Mavs 4th quarter defense is why I think they'll win the le this year...they've locked down on people in the 4th all season...
Dirk will get a triple double by the end of the season...
Yeah, I was just waiting for the "lockdown" to come. I knew it would, it was just a matter of if they started in the 3rd or 4th quarter.
Gimme a break, Ron, you're comparing a healthy Mavs team to a Suns team minus 3 of their top 7 guys (including both of their best playmakers).
Haha, my bf and I were talking about this during the game last night, even when the Bucks were up by 16 points. One of the Bucks announcers started talking about how great teams close quarters and how the Mavs were not doing that and I yelled back at the tv "great teams close games!" because I knew the Mavs would get it done in the end. This IMO, has been the biggest difference since last season. I hope George is alright!
Have fun in Austin RonMexico! I think the Suns should've at least won the Hawks game, they were right there in it until the fourth and they had the roster to get it done. Anyway, hopefully the Suns will come back after the All-Star break with a healthy roster and D'Antoni will realize that he needs to open the rotation up just a little to give the main guys some rest and the bench players some time in case he needs them again.
I think the injuries are a small blessing in disguise to give the bench guys a chance out there for the Suns. I mean, if they beat the Mavs in the next 2 head-to-head games then that closes a good chunk of the gap they've given up with dumb losses while Nash is out.
Xylus, I'm not discrediting the fact that key people are out, but I can also be pissed when that bench has enough talent on it to beat teams like Atlanta. I'm more angry that the right personnel (i.e. Jalen Rose) haven't been on the floor at times, and they haven't been utilized in an offense that fits their individual strengths instead of this wide open offense that only Nash can run. I want this bench to succeed and gain confidence because that will pay dividends come playoff time (esp. if anyone gets in foul trouble or something early in a key game).
After the all-star break, they can come back and rattle off some key victories, I believe, but I'm still going to grumble during this stretch when they give up games like Atlanta (Chicago is better, but they could have won that game with the way they were rolling in the 3rd quarter... and if Kirk Hinrich didn't go into Okur-mode).
