OMG - that national anthem was horrid

go MAVS!

[BreckTxLonghorn]

I didn't think it was THAT bad, though Yamin definitely was nervous on being in front in a rowdy audience.

However, one of my favorite things about that guy: He is truly excited about singing and doing those things. During American Idol, they showed him at his hometown and he was just going crazy over the fact that people were actually clapping for HIM.

He usually can sing really well, though this obviously wasnt his best. Still, someone that appreciative of the situation gets a thumbs up in my book.

[3afan]

well he embarrassed himself tonight

go MAVS!

[slpybear the bullfan]

So far... Shaq 0-3 at the FT line.

Dallas up 11-5...

End of first... Dallas up 18 to 17...

Dallas 4 - 4 from the line...

Mia is 8-14 from the line...

I hope this isn't a bad omen with Miami playing poorly yet only one point behind at the end of the first quarter.

Mavs up 82- 58 after 3 quarters. They look pretty comfortable out there. This one should pretty much be in the bag. Go Mavs!!!

Miami is very dangerous in the 4th quarter.

He has a jammed finger on his left hand and something wrong with his right hand, I hit my jammed finger on something and it hurt pretty bad, hopefully thats all it was.

[kepdawg]

Way to go Mavs!

[Phil C]

This was a great important win by the Mavericks because now they are up 2 - 0 before going to Miami for three games. Let's hope they can win at least one of the three in Miami. I expect Miami to really play great this Tuesday night.

[kaorder1999]

I thought Miami would have played great last night!!!

This should be intereting going into Miami. I don't know that I like this 2-3-2 setup!

Since they changed to this format 25-30 years ago, only the 2004 Detroit Pistons have won games 3-5. Any other time it has gone to at least 5 games, it's been a 2-1 split over the middle three games.

Yeah... I got that messed up from them talking about the second one in the game...

Those were killers for the Heat.

[KTJ]

I really want the Heat to win one so that Dallas can win this thing on their home court, in front of our fans, in our city.

That would only be fitting.
