The dominating, 88-67, win gives the Mavs a 2-1 lead in the best of seven series. * TONIGHT'S KEY RUN: Dallas led 31-23 with 8:27 to go in the 2nd quarter. The Mavericks then went on a 15-2 run through the 3:17 mark of the period to take a 46-26 lead.
* Dallas held the Spurs to a franchise opponent postseason-low 67 points. The previous low was 76 points...
With a quarter to go, the only question to be answered is how much the Mavericks margin of victory will be. Dallas outscored the Spurs 29-to-12 in the third quarter to put this game away with 12-minutes still left to be played. The last time the Spurs scored 12 points was in Maimi November 07, 2008. It's not that the Mavericks defense is that good tonight, it's that the Spurs offense is that bad tonight. Parker had 38-points i...
The Mavs don't look like the same team we saw in game two. They've playing with intensity and purpose. And its showing up on the defensive end. The Spurs scoring just 30 points on 30 percent shooting. 30 points in that half nearly matched the Spurs low half of the season when they scored just 29 against Orlando on December 18th. Dirk pacing the Mavs with 10 of his 12 points in the first quarter. Josh Howard (8pts) and J J Berea (1...
So much for Parker in the lane. He's 4-of-12 from the field in the first half with only 10-points in the first half, zero in the second quarter. He's the only Spurs player in double figures. Nobody else is close, as you might expect with only 30 points. To me, the Spurs are just like the Mavs were in San Antonio. Nothing's happening for the visiting team. Dallas should be up by more than just 16 after Gregg Popovich took out his entir...
Mavericks shot 52.6% from the field in the first quarter, a much better start than in game two in San Antonio. Tony Parter still had 10-points, even if the Mavericks tried to slow him down. His layups are Mavs Killers. San Antonio has missed a ton of shots, shooting just 31.8% in the first quarter. They look out of sync. Dirk Nowitzki is off to equally as good a start as Parker with 10-points, all jumpers. Dallas got off to a...
We knew receiver Miles Austin wasn't leaving the Dallas Cowboys and now the restricted free agent receiver has signed a one-year contract. In act, the Cowboys signed all three of their final free agents. Running back Alonzo Coleman and tight end Rodney Hannah also signed one-year deals. You can relive the Mavs drubbing of the Spurs by reading through the archive of our live chat. ...DeMarcus Ware and the Dallas Cowboys have yet to come to terms on a new deal that is expected to make Ware the highest paid defensive player in the NFL. The new deal also is expected to be the largest contract in franchise history. Well, now it appears that Ware might want to put the pedal to the medal and get this thing inked as soon as possible. What's the rush, you ask? Ware is reported have been chosen as one nine N...
There are few sports experiences that can match the sheer intensity and rollercoaster ride nature of the NBA playoffs. The closest match is the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which still doesn't quite have the same quick ups and downs and rapid turns of fate and emotion as NBA postseason games. Mavs fans should really relish these next two playoff home games, for many reasons. The first, is that it doesn't get much more intense than Spu...
Father-son relationships can be interesting, especially when father and son work together. Take into account Jerry Jones' larger-than-life personality and reputation as a wild-catting oilman and there's a lot to make fun of, even for his son. The NFL Draft starts Saturday and the Cowboys aren't scheduled to pick until 51st. Stephen Jones, the son of Jerry and a Cowboys executive, said they were going to try to keep th...
Brad Johnson is not going to play for the Dallas Cowboys in 2009, but his name still came up before the NFL 2009. Owner/general manager Jerry Jones and his son and Cowboys executive Stephen Jones were asked if the Cowboys might take a quarterback in this weekend's draft. They talked about the advantages of having a young quarterback. Then nice (old) Brad Johnson got thrown right under the bus. Johnson "was play...
Jerry Jones said he didn't want the Dallas Cowboys to have to have a first-round draft pick in this year's NFL Draft. "One of the reasons we made the Roy Williams trade was to stay out of the first round," Jones said. In October, Jones traded this year's first-, third and sixth-round picks to the Detroit Lions for Williams, a receiver, and Detroit's seventh-round pick. "This year is going to be a real challenge in the...
Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones is talking NFL Draft. The team has 11 picks, but their first is not until the second round. Still he has high hopes. "We need some football players that can contribute immediately," Jerry Jones said. Jones has been describing the long process for how the team evaluates players. It's quite in depth. And... "It's not Jerry proof," Jones said. ...Jerry Jones has started his news conference... it's mostly about the stadium now. He's going to talk about the draft and the team's new radio home. ... |
