I loved seeing Cuban complaining about Perk "travelling" with his team down by about 30...he never stops I saw GG in street clothes as well.

Easy win. Only Powe failed to score!

I hope the Spurs beat the Fake Show now.

Preach on!

Good game. It was nice to see so much of the bench. I wish Pruitt would shoot more. They need to run the same plays for Pruitt that they run to free up Ray. POB looks a step slow but I think he's got a future of some kind. The best thing POB does right now is pass. He makes really good passes. What's wrong with Powe. He looks off more than POB right now. He can't get his shot off and his hands seem to be not as soft as they were.

Well that was a lot of fun to watch!

I didn't read through the game thread but did anyone pick on the side line announcer lady (forget her name) commenting on the irony of Pierce's checks now are signed by Ainge...uhhh no

Great game. Nice the offense is clicking but I'm really excited the crushing D is back. My favorite part of the AP recap:

Dirk Nowitzki had 18, but the Dallas 7-footer shot 4-for-17 from the field and had the ignominy of having his shot blocked by the 6-foot-1 House in the second quarter.

She was talking about Pierce growing up in LA and what a big Laker fan he was.  Apparently as a kid the Celtic he hated the most was Danny Ainge.

Poor attempt to comment on how it is strange that a kid could grow up a huge Lakers fan would have a Hall of Fame career as a Celtic.

Great game, everyone played great basketball giving Dallas no hope that they ever had a chance after the first quarter.

KG was a beast in the post early. My favorite play was the inbounding lob of Dirk's that he stole!

Still remember last year when little Rondo won a rebound battle with Dirk. Dirk needs to get it ttogether that is embarrassing.

I just read that Nomar was sitting courtside.  (sorry if this has been discussed)  Anyone know what type of crowd reaction he got?

right, but Ainge doesn't sign his checks!  Hew gets paid by the same guy as Pierce

[RebusRankin]

Wow, just a fun game to watch. Ray and House were on fire. KG dominated inside. We got a whole quarter of Skywalker (who looked good imo). Perkins played well. Rondo was Rondo. TPs all around.

Man, I'm loving this streak just as much if not more than the 19 game one.  Missed most of garbage time though, any good Bill Walker highlights?

Not really. He went up weak and had one shot blocked. He had a dunk off a good screen where he was left alone around the hope.

He had a few great cuts but Scal/House didn't see that he was open.
