Best Allstar Break record? Mavs @ Suns TNT

[Solid D]

Will the Spurs gain the upper hand, without playing tonight? Dallas has slight lead in the first half at 32-28. Good game so far.

[Jimcs50]

I bet on the over at 229.5, so what do they do? They are playing defense like the Spurs and Rockets, for once.

[Solid D]

Marion got a nose boo boo.

[Duff McCartney]

I still go for the Suns. I hate the Mavs.

[Spurminator]

Adrienne's gone, Duff... You can stop your mating call.

[Solid D]

Jim, you may get to your point total, yet.

[Duff McCartney]

Adrienne's gone, Duff... You can stop your mating call.

you.

[Solid D]

It's almost as though it's a 10 second shot clock. Talk about early offense!

[Manu20]

The Mavs are shorthanded missing Dampier and Stackhouse.
IMO Dirk needs to have a huge game for the Mavs to win.

[Solid D]

It's sort of odd. When Nellie went with Armstrong, Howard, Finley, Dirk and Shawn Bradley in there, they were playing D and deeper into the shot clock. That's when the Mavs were doing the best.

[Jimcs50]

I am ed.

Dallas is throwing up more bricks than a Houston- SA game

[Solid D]

If the Mavs could just do what the Spurs do and defend the perimeter half-way plus keep Amare from taking that pass while slashing in from the FT line, they'd be okay.

[Jimcs50]

!!!!!

[Solid D]

Spare me. A bankshot from straight on by Amare at buzzer.

[Jimcs50]

Now I need a 70-70 2nd half to win bet.... ing Dallas hit 1 of their last 15 shots and had 6 TOs...they are sucking big s tonight.

[Manu20]

Suns lead 55 to 45.
Come on Mavs!

[Solid D]

I think Dallas went 5 minutes there without a rebound.

[Jimcs50]

Actually Dallas is only 3 back of SA, so first and foremost, Spurs need to lock down that 2nd seed, then worry about staying up with Phoenix. Better that these two teams win on their home courts against each other.

[T Park]

Dallas is only 3 back of SA

They are 5 and a half up on them chief.

[Duff McCartney]

Dallas is 5.5 games behind the Spurs Jim...not 3.

[Manu20]

San Antonio 41 12 0
Dallas 34 16 5.5

5.5 games back

[Solid D]

So Jim is wrong, again. So what?

[Jimcs50]

They are 5 and a half up on them chief.

4 games in loss column...I thought it was 3.

[Duff McCartney]

So Jim is wrong, again. So what?

Nothing new.

[Jimcs50]

The point is the same...Spurs need to win division first, that will get them HCA in first 2 rounds if they get 2 seed.
