Wild night in Dallas, as Jason Terry hit the game-winning shot. Iguodala attempted to respond seconds later, but his teammate Samuel Dalembert had other ideas. Coach Eddie Jordan says the shot was off the mark anyway, but Iggy didn’t seem so sure. Check out the vid below; the madness starts at the 1:35 mark:

Mavs hold on in a thriller

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:10:05 -0500

Before Monday's game, Rick Carlisle addressed a trend for the Mavericks that on the surface would seem to be a valuable asset. It concerned the fact that after their first four losses this season, they came back in the next game and won all four times by an average of 21 points. Against Philadelphia, they made it five-for-five in bounce-back wins, even though it was a lot tougher this time. J.J. Barea had three critical plays in a row early in the fourth quarter to spark the Mavericks, then Jason Terry saved their skin with an 18-foot baseline jumper with 1.4 seconds left that clinched a 104-102 win over the Sixers at American Airlines Center. Barea had a 3-pointer, drew an offensive foul by taking a charge and then scored on a layup as the Mavericks turned a four-point lead into an 87-78 advantage. From there, the Mavericks held on - barely. Carlisle's point must have been resonating in their ears. He believes the Mavericks are resilient, sure. But is it really a great character trait? Or does it beg a deeper question? "I think we got a pretty good team and some of it is when you lose, you get ticked off and come back and win,'' Carlisle said. "I think it's a dangerous cycle to get into because then the question becomes: why are you losing in the first place. "We're trying to get better every day and get more consistent. In our wins, our points per possession defensively ranks No. 1 in the league, by far. In our losses, we rank last in the league by far. That's something we're trying to reconcile. We want to be good every night. We don't want to have the lapses. "We don't want the wild highs and lows that we're going through.'' At least the bad mood swings don't last long. The Mavericks came back from a 16-point loss at Cleveland with a solid effort led by Jason Kidd, who had a season-best 22 points and 11 assists, and Dirk Nowitzki, who had 28 points. But it was Barea's quick outburst that helped make up for the Mavericks' second horrid rebounding game in a row. After tying a franchise-low in boards with 24 in Cleveland, they got butchered 60-37. Barea also had another 3-pointer that came when Philly had drawn within 92-86. Not that it didn't get sticky down the stretch. Thaddeus Young had a follow shot and a 3-pointer that pulled Philadelphia within 101-99 with a minute to go. The Mavericks missed three layups, one by Nowitzki and two on tip tries by Drew Gooden. The Sixers were foiled once when Shawn Marion played tight defense on Iquodala. But after Kidd hit just one of two free throws, Iguodala got another chance and hit the trey over Marion's outstretched arms. That set the table for Terry. After his shot, the Sixers did not get a good shot, with Iguodala missing a prayer. Briefly: Quinton Ross said he probably will miss another game or two with his lower-back problem. "It's still the same,'' Ross said. "I'm getting it worked on, but it's still not right.'' --Eddie Sefko

What the hell planet is that from? I’m a pretty big fan of Jason Terry the fantasy player. Every single year I think to myself “eh, Terry isn’t all that great but every single year the guy becomes a great asset to any fantasy squad. He’s a gret source of three’s, FT% and even steals.

Question: Do Josh Howard or Jason Terry Fit With the Wizards?

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:09:14 -0500

I'm going to make this quick, since I'm still working on Part 2 of this post (and if you'll believe it, it's even more complex than Part 1), but with the Dallas Mavericks emerging as a possible trade-up partner, I figured I'd take a minute to pose this discussion topic to the community. Dallas and DC are pretty good trade partners. The Mavericks are very much where they were in 2004, when they traded Antawn Jamison to the Wizards for the fifth pick in the 2004 draft. They...

Kobe Should Keep it in House

Thu, 31 May 2007 15:44:46 -0500

How about all this Kobe Bryant stuff? It's big talk everywhere but it's especially buzzing here in SoCal. I can understand him being upset about not winning but he's the one who signed the contract. And if I'm the Lakers I don't want to waste the prime years of a super star like that. Someone asked me if I'd like to see him go to the Mavericks. I used to have season tickets for the Mavs games. With Dirk and Jason Terry and Stackhouse, there wouldn't be enough shots for a guy like Kobe to come in. They would have to play with 3 or 4 balls. My take on it is, as an athlete especially a super star like him, if you've got a problem with the organization keep it in house as much as possible. Go directly to the source and hash it out. He's good, probably the best in the game. I've gone to see him play a couple of times. He can do anything and if they just got an inside presence they could turn things around really quick. After the chose him over Shaq they can't trade him. He's the guy they have to build around.
