Here are my pics from last night
This is Durant's family. That is his mom, Wanda, his big brother, and his grandma who raised him. They are at every game, normally his other brother there too. His brother has on KD3 IDs that were like a red cobec or patent leather. KD talks to them during game action frequently. Desmond Mason was at the game too, he always is. As always, there's always tons of football celebrities there but I don't follow football so I have no idea who they are.
Hasn't been highlighted enough, this is the 3rd game in a row the starters sat the entire 4th quarter. It's somewhat bad for KD's stats and MVP race maybe, but it should bode well for later in the season.
What does everyone think about the 4th guard spot in the West? CP3 and Kobe obviouslty, Westbrook is in, the 4th is either Ellis, Lowry, Nash off name recognition, or very outside but possible shot for OKC to get 3 and get James in. It has happened often that the team with the best record at the time (and thus their own coach in the game) get 3, hell sometimes even 4. 18ppg or so on the West and possibly league leading team I think might be deserving. Of course this is all speculation based on current records and stats as we could hit a losing skid.
And again, nothing negative to say about Westbrook. 10 straight games of 3 or less tos. He's figuring it out, only made 1 stupid pass last night.
Reggie Jackson is good, but you can tell he's a rookie at times. He gets called for a carry every game (Durant has been too) and isn't near the shooter Maynor is.
Again, I don't see how Knicks fans can stomach Douglas AND Shumpert. Those dudes shoot with an impunity, a confidence, and a frequency that belies how bad they are at it. I'm talking specifically jump shots.

Damn and I was just coming in to here to criticize Kobe too. Keep doing your thing #8. We all know where averaging 30 shots has gotten Kobe (looks at 04-07 Lakers). I hope Kobe continues this streak to May. He can do it!

I disagree..
Kobe shot 6-10 in the third.
5-6 in the fourth.
He shot less. Shot better..
In the game Kobe had 28 shots. 42 points (By quarter: 5, 6, 21, 10) Points from Free Throw Line: 12
Pau & Bynum 30 shots. 26 points. (By quarter : 8, 10, 6, 2) Points from Free Throw Line: 0
Pau shot 17 times would have been top 4 PF in shots per game if he did that every game
Bynum shot 13 times would be 2nd in NBA among centers.
The 2 other guys who are supposed to get the ball besides Kobe. Got it a significant amount.. They didn't produce what they were supposed to.... More higher percentage shots.. And getting to the line..
13 for 30 for 7 footers. And not getting to the line but 1 time when they played 8 seconds less than 79 minutes combined.. Is their problem.. Not Kobe's problem..
They also allowed 11 more rebounds to a team they are much bigger than.. Who are 28th in Rebounds with 38. They had 50 last night. Led to 25 second chance points...

Huge Kobe fan but he needs to relax. Its almost like he's just saying "F' it, YOLO" everytime he touches the ball.

I must say, I found it pretty hilarious that Mavs fans were all negative about VC coming to the team...because I knew what he was gonna bring, especially with a coach like Carlisle.
What most people don't seem to understand is how much the system you play in affects your ability to play. In Orlando, Stan Van Gundy runs his wack !%! Dwight down low, and 4 people stand on the outside and shoot jumpers all day. Vince Carter is not Ray Allen...he is not a spot up jump shooter. Never has been, and never will be. So what would make people think he would fit in that offense? Whenever he was isolated, and placed on the low block, he dominated. Phoenix Suns...same thing. Spot up jumpshooter from 3. Rick Carlisle has him in playmaker mode...which makes sense because he's an excellent passer, and he has him down on the low block posting up, where he is very effective. He's always still been able to elevate, he's just not fast laterally anymore. Also...he wants a ring. And he's never played for a team with the kind of unity the Mavs have. Look at the dunk from last night...he took off and landed and did his patented motorcycle celebration, and the whole team was doin it with him (Dirk, Delonte, JET, etc.). That type of environment is exactly what Vince has always wanted. Mavs got a steal with him.

As soon as it's MWP he just sits there and does nothing.
That's the only thing he's good for now, exposing these fake tough guys. MWP may be stupid, but that's the only good thing about him anymore.

Ya what idiot said that
The combination of the Niners win, God shunning Tebow, and the Kings losing by like 74 points really clouded my judgement.
49ers win that thriller and Mavs win in a blowout against the scumbag Kings? What could be better?
On a serious note about Vince, I take back everything I said about the dude. He's been nothing but a positive for the Mavericks. I'm very surprised at his insistence to go to the rim a lot, to attack the rim. It really frees not only him up, but the rest of the team. He's been my favorite addition to the team, and I thought he'd be my least favorite. He brings a positive attitude, fun highlights, hard-working, giving an all-out effort, and at least tries on defense. I am also surprised at how well he's shooting. I won't trust his low FG% right now because he's really working hard to try and help this team out. He's not taking as many shots so it's harder for him to get his shot going.
I'd love for him to start next year for us when we have Deron and Dwight.
Really though, I'm glad we picked him up. He gives us a much-needed shot-in-the-arm on offense, and provides thes at others. I wouldn't be surprised if he sticks around long-term (meaning the duration of his twilight years). It's a nice area to play for, one of his best pals is going to retire there already, why not join him and hopefully contend? They both would play there for cheap, and I'm sure they enjoy each others company, or else he wouldn't have come on board in the first place. In a pre-season interview he said he had an eye on Dallas during the off-season even prior to them calling his agent up, whether that's just him trying to sound PC or not, I don't know, but he's been quite the opposite of what I was expecting from him.
Also, Lamar has quietly been playing more efficiently out there. Like an Antawn Jamison out there. Over our mini-winning streak, he's been rebounding a lot better, playing good defense, and trying to get dudes like Mahinmi involved (ala the alley-oop they had earlier). Hopefully now that we've strung some games together we can start playing better against good teams.
and you wonder why we call you a clown?

Oh, great.. so now we have to hear all about the amazing Vince Carter comeback.
If anyone saw a VC resurgence coming, then I want next week's lotto numbers from them. People can try to say it was Orlando's system that held him back, but that's just not true. Vince had plenty of chances every single game to drive hard to the rim and get the foul, but he wimped out and double clutched and faded away. I watched him do that every game, and I lived with Orlando fans who saw the same things. He was routinely lazy and would provide just enough flashes of the old Vince to get people hopeful and excited. I'm not rooting for the guy to fail, but I won't be impressed until he does all these amazing things when it counts, in the playoffs. Because I completely expect him to take a hard foul and get banged up and we'll see all the old classic VC qualities.
