Dallas 108
Chicago 96

Dirk goes off for 32
Jason Terry gets 20
Dirk gets 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks
Dampier gets 7 blocks

Gambino

Dallas 107
Chicago 89

Finley and Dirk continue playing excellent. Terry and Armstrong goes off and Damp and Henderson have a big night on the defensive side.

XYRYX

I have a feeling, that this will be a tough game for the mavs. Dirk and Damp will have some problems offensivly against the Chicago Frontline. But Finley, Terry, Daniels and Stack will win this one for the mavs.

Mavs 104

Bulls 97

Dirk 25 on 8/19 shooting along with 9 boards.

Player of the game:

Finley: 27/6/3

23-20 at the end of the first, we can't control Curry. 10 points in the first for him

Tersk

Dirk 12/7

Better second quarter

46-46 at halftime

Gambino

But Dallas did a better job on him in the 2nd. Although he did do much of his time in the 2nd on the bench.

Dallas 46
Chicago 46
Half

Pretty decent first half i guess for Dallas. They could be down by more. I do not like how they are playing offense right now. Too much one on one and the guards are driving the ball way to far setting him as well as the rest of the team for wild shots. A good reason why we won the Houston game the way we did. Look no furthur then the assist stat. That's something i hope Dallas changes in the 2nd half. More ball movement and less one on one.

Tersk

Curry scored 8 quick points on Damp in the beginning, then in the second quarter this happened

(7:47) [DAL] Dampier Substitution replaced by Henderson
(7:47) [CHI] Davis Substitution replaced by Curry

Coincidence?

Gambino

Didn't notice it because I was was to wound up on how lacksidasical our play on both ends of the court was in the 1st half. Should be better in the 2nd though.
Props to Nellie for putting Devin Harris in the game though.

Gambino

Dallas is not playing good basketball on both ends of the court tonight. They are just standing around watching the player with the ball. No ball movement whatsoever. I do not know how many turnovers the bulls have. But we are not converting them for points. The ball needs to touch Dirks hands in every possession and the guards are not doing a good job of making the job easier for the other players at all on offense.

Glad we are playing the bulls though. only 68-62 make that 70-65
Finley hit a 3 to end the 2nd and 3rd. Nice

Gambino

Get Dirk back in the game. We need to start converting. Nothing but four point turnarounds is happening right now.

Gambino

Dirk is not having a good night but he is starting to play much better in this quarter. He's at the line down by six after the break.

Gambino

8-3 run by Dallas.make it 10-3 run

Gambino

Howard is having a big quarter
14-7 run. damn noic

Gambino

Chicago was up 75-65 and Dallas is now on a 16-7 run. 82-81 Chicago with a timeout.
