Mavericks at Pacers, March 20


I'm still hurting from last night's suckfest in Atl.

JJT seems to think that the Mavs have become irrelevant, obviously he doesn't read MDS.

I don't think that David Moore even watched the game last night, else we have a very different definition of "Passion."

A few interesting game notes from ESPN.com: Atlanta improved to 35-9 this season when opponents score under 100. ... Dallas dropped to 2-19 on the road when entering the fourth quarter with a deficit. ... Against the Eastern Conference, the Mavs are now 8-5 away from Dallas. ... Nowitzki has scored at least 20 points in 12 straight games, the NBA's longest current streak. ... After visiting Cleveland on Saturday, the Hawks have a four-game homestand against Minnesota, San Antonio, Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers.

If we are going to get to 50, we must get a win tonight, no other way of looking at it. And I feel strongly that getting to 50 with this team, a team that once started Ryan Hollins, JJ Barea AND Antoine Right (that was last night), would be a tremendous accomplishment. If we can get Josh into top form (and that's a big if), then we really can contend with any team save the Lakers. I'm not talking championship, but it would be nice to advance.
