Poor Devin...

Why do I feel bad about this trade? Maybe because poor little Devin has been mending an injury...and winds up getting traded to the shiteous Nets.

Not only is Devin gone, but Diop. The man of many languages will be greatly missed, too. Perhaps Mo Ager will get some playing time with the Nets. I hate to see T-Hass go, but hey - it's part of the game. I'm still laughing that the Nets even wanted Keith Van Horn...he's retired!

I can rest assured my two homeboys - Devean and Stack - are safe, for now. Exercise that no-trade clause and run your mouth all you want boys! I got your backs.

Now I will have to look at Jason Kidd and curse him every time he enters the game as a Dallas Maverick.

Thank you, Devean and Stack!

The eight-player deal, in the making since before the All-Star break, sends Kidd, forward Malik Allen and guard Antoine Wright to Dallas for point guard Devin Harris, center DeSagana Diop and swingman Maurice Ager, plus retired forward Keith Van Horn and Trenton Hassell. New Jersey also gets two first-round draft picks and $3 million.

I am pissed off to lose Devin Harris and DeSagana Diop. What the hell is your problem, Mark Cuban? If this doesn't produce a championship this season, you might as well shoot yourself in the foot.

What the $%#&

So - we're a month into the season. Where the hell are the Mavericks from seasons gone by? The game tonight was PITIFUL! The refs were blind. Dirk was noodle-handed. Devin was a ball hog during the worst possible times. Thank goodness for Jet and Stack. Too bad they couldn't carry it for the Mavs. The Hornets snapped a 21-game skid of losing to the Mavs. I hope Dallas is proud.

It's time for our Mavs to start playing like our Mavs.

Dirk Serves as Grand Marshal at Dickies 500

NBA MVP Dirk Nowitzki delivered the command, "Gentleman, Start Your Engines!" to the 43 drivers at the Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon. This was his first Nascar event and first trip to the TMS.

3 Games Deep

The Mavs are home v. the once-threat Kings. With Bibby and Artest injured and suspended, the team has no steam. Josh Howard returned to the lineup after serving a two-game suspension for his run-in with Kings bully Brad Miller during preseason play. JJ Barea is making his presence known. If you don't know him, you know him now! There are new faces on the team this season, with Juwan Howard returning to the squad after several seasons with the Magic and Rockets. Dallas also added Trenton Hassell, Darvin Ham, Brandon Bass, Nick Fazekas, and Eddie Jones to the mix. Gone are Mbenga, Buckner, and Croshere.

Final score: 123-102. Maybe Brad Miller will stick his head in the sand now.

Dirty Spurs Must Go Down!

(Robert Horry after Game 5)

I think I'll side with Phoenix on this one. There is absolutely NO excuse for dirty, thug-like basketball playing. I'm calling out Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry, in particular. The rest of the 'Dirty Spurs' follow - so don't be worried.

There is NO valid excuse for breaking someone's nose, sterilizing that same said person with a knee to the crotch, or catapulting him into the commentator/media area.

Amare and Boris were just trying to protect their man. I know what the rule book says - and agree that they should serve the time. I'm VERY pleased that Robert Horry is serving a suspension. He should also be forced to enroll in anger management, as well as a class to teach him the FUNDAMENTALS of playing basketball. Maybe that class is offering a 2-for-1 special and he can bring his idiot sidekick, Bowen, along.

I also hope that the Suns come out swinging, full-force, in Game 5. I want them to kick some Dirty Spur @$$ and take names. I want Dirty Spur body parts strewn all over the basketball court. Steve Nash should lead the bloodshed. Leave no Dirty Spur survivors.

He is the playoff MVP, as well as the recipient of the Lucky-to-be-Alive award.

Let there be vindication!

You May Now Shut Up, Critics!
