Mavericks Vs Raptors: Game 6 Preview

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:00:27 -0500

Is this the game that the Mavs finally start to get their shooting stroke back? We can only hope. This may be the perfect game for us and them to truly see what kind of team it is going to be. Do not get me wrong by no means are the Raptors a good basketball team, but they are a team that the Mavs "should" put away and put away early. The Mavericks have several areas of concern and tonight is as good a night as any to begin to get those issues cleaned up. Point Guard...

What do NBA stars do when they are not in the NBA playoffs? They make awesome videos. I must admit that I have been in the room whilst my wife was perusing this show, and C. Bosh is spot on. BTW I want to get in on that Jose Calderon go-karting action. That sounds like fun.

TJ Ford Haz PMS - Gets Ejected

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 12:55:44 -0500

65-65, start of the fourth quarter. In comes T.J. Ford for Jose Calderon. Ford's next five minutes: missed shot, turnover, turnover, defensive foul, offensive foul, Napoleon complex!, tech, tech, ejection. I'd say that's a good day at the office. HOOK EM HORNS
