Great to see that we can win against teams of the same caliber. :/

[Rick Modena]

Its a big hill they have to climb...

irritating game here....last foul on Mayo was complete bullshit

[TRAXX]

Dang....hurts to lose that one

[Lone Sailor]

Had another big lead at halftime but couldn't close the deal.

Tough loss last night with that buzzer beater. And a rough way to start a road trip.

Tough loss last night with that buzzer beater. And a rough way to start a road trip.

This will sound funny, but with about 4:50 left in the 4th, Dirk missed a little turnaround jumper (that he makes in his sleep), and I thought, "Aw shit, here we go."

[Jose]

Ya I remember that. Lots of little things lead up to the loss. We blew a lead and allowed them to get back into the game. Plus it seems we've always had problems winning in Portland. I remember that game in the playoffs during the championship season that we blew a lead like that. I think this is going to be the hardest game during this road trip, hopefully it will be the only loss.

Not looking good for Dallas!

[pHILSANITY07]

Dallas was in talks with Memphis and Toronto about a 3 team trade that would send Jose Calderon from Toronto to here. However Dallas backed out cause Memphis wanted Vince Carter.

From Mark Stein
Mavs were indeed interested in Calderon, as they've been for ages, but refused to part w/Vince Carter and thus couldn't trump Prince & Daye

Because Vince is part of building for the future?

Yea if this was the year 2000

Just read this. It's the suck.

According to the NBA, an official’s call with 1.5 seconds left in Tuesday’s Mavericks 106-104 loss to the Trail Blazers was incorrect.

“Officials called a charging foul on Dallas’ OJ Mayo. After review at the league office, the video replay confirmed the play should have been ruled a blocking foul as Portland’s Ronnie Price did not get his body directly in Mayo’s path prior to him starting his upward shooting motion. Mayo should have been granted two free throws.”

[Doug Hatton]

Wow...thanks for throwing that salt in there Jose! LOL! Yeah, I was pretty livid about that call!

[DeddRekoning]

As I said in my post....last call on Mayo was complete bullshit and the league confirmed it. However, it shouldn't have been that close late in the game anyways with a 21 point lead.
