Mavericks season over after loss

10:48 PM Wed, May 13, 2009 |
Aaron Chimbel

For a sixth-seed in the NBA playoffs the Dallas Mavericks didn't do too bad.

That's no consolation after Wednesday's 124-110 loss to the Denver Nuggets in their second-round playoff series. The Nuggets won the series 4-1.

Mavs fans got spoiled by the Mavs mostly impressive series win over the third-seeded San Antonio Spurs. The second-seeded Nuggets were a different story.

While the Spurs were old and staid, the Nugget...

UPDATE: Terry had 11 points in 34 minutes in the Mavs Game 5 loss.

Jason Terry was the award the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award for his work coming off the bench for the Mavs.

Facing elimination in Game 5 their playoff series with the Denver Nuggets, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle has decided to start Terry over Antoine Wright.

Terry's a better player, but it will be very interesting to see what kind of p...



Cowboys talk about collapse

George Riba

Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones talked publicly for the first time about the collapse of the teams indoor practice facility today.

"I really can't say much," said Jones. "We're really focused number one on the injuries. At this juncture the completeness of the information the legal aspects that are involved and the consideration for the people that were injured are all a part of why you would restrict your comments at this time."

Mavs season likely ends tonight

David Marcus

Come on....you're thinking it too.

The Mavs did put up an heroic effort on Monday night, virtually willed to victory by Dirk Nowitzki in one of the gutsier performances of his career. Dirk was rewarded for his regular season efforts today by being named First Team All-NBA, very well deserved.

But Dallas is up against it tonight, going back inside the lair of the lion. The Nuggets have won 15 straight games at the Pepsi Center...



Cowboys miss chance to honor Landry

2:12 PM Wed, May 13, 2009 |
Aaron Chimbel

Having Tom Landry's statue outside the Dallas Cowboys new stadium in Arlington is nice (the statue was outside Texas Stadium).

But Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had the opportunity to do more as he opens his $1.1 billion stadium.

I've written it before here that Jones should have honored the only head coach the Cowboys had in their first 29 ...

Kevin Ozee will take over as AD at Southlake Carroll. Ronnie Tipps retired from the position a couple of months ago. Ozee has been in the news recently after he suspended seven Duncanville track and field athletes for competing in a meet independently, after the school decided not to p...



Dirk named to first team all-NBA

1:16 PM Wed, May 13, 2009 |
Ted Madden

Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki has been named to the all-NBA first-team. It's the fourth time Dirk's been named to the first team.

He averaged nearly 26 points per game (4th in the league) to go with 8.4 rebounds, and I don't know if you realized this or not (I didn't): Dirk scored 20 points or more in 25 straight games to close out the season.



It's 'Cowboys Stadium'

Jerry Jones has decided that the name of his new palace in Arlington — at least for now — will be Cowboys Stadium.

T.O. bringing even more cameras to Buffalo

10:43 AM Wed, May 13, 2009 |
Ted Madden

The Buffalo Bills are getting more than they bargained for with Terrell Owens, starting next Monday. While the Bills begin their 3-day minicamp, VH-1 begins filming a reality show starring TO.

TO and the network reached a deal back in January, but that was before the wide receiver signed with Buffalo; it will be interesting to see how much access the team ...
