Maviliers 92, Cavericks 74

... I didn't catch all of the beat down the Mavericks laid down on the Cleveland Cavs last night. I was a bit too busy celebrating a pagan holiday with my 1-year-old.Otherwise, I was glued to the set. Two notes:1. Very dissapointed to find out that Bob Ortegal has been demoted to radio and former Mav great Brad Davis is now the TV color analyst. Very lame.2. Good to hear that Mark Cuban is staying put and not going after Kobe. Anymore.Otherwise, this was a pretty nice ass-whooping. Got pretty funny in the third quarter when Damon Jones hit a ...

... good tonight. The Mavs held the Cavs to 74 points on the game, it is the fewest points Dallas has held an opponent to in a season opener in franchise history. Finally, the Mavs forced Cleveland to shoot 36.4% from the field. It is the lowest field goal percentage by a Mavs opponent in a season opener since Denver shot 35.9% in the 1996 season opener. It might have been a slightly boring game to watch, but I am glad that the Mavs are back. Other news to report from the game: Kobe is not going to be a Mav .

James blamed his poor night on a combination of things, not the least of which was a sour shooting night.

... And as for Mark Cuban's flat denial that anything is happening between the Mavericks and the Lakers -- I'm inclined to believe, in the big picture, that nothing is going to happen. But it doesn't really make sense that there has been NO contact between those two teams, as reported by ESPN.com: ...

Contrary to most reports, the Bulls remain ready and willing to deal Deng, the source said. But if they’re going to include Deng in a deal, they will not part with more than one of the other three, said the source.
Even then, it is not clear that any trade involving Deng would be acceptable to Bryant, who is wielding the power of the NBA’s only no-trade clause by threatening to veto certain deals.
Count the Mavs out (Yeah right).

We like it.” Cuban was asked if the team has any interest at all in Bryant.“We’re always looking for bargains, but I don’t think they’re going to give us any bargains,” he said. The Bulls appear to be the primary partner in trade talks with Los Angeles. As ESPN.com reported on Saturday, the Lakers have asked for Luol Deng, Tyrus Thomas, Ben Gordon and rookie Joakim Noah as the core parts of any trade for Bryant. Source: ESPN ...

... Another perfect example of this was the trade talk about Kobe Bryant a few days ago, when Ric Bucher (who I'm convinced knows absolutely nothing) said a three-way deal was close to happening that would have sent Bryant to Chicago, with the Lakers receiving Ron Artest and Ben Wallace in return and P.J Brown and Ben Gordon going to Sacramento. Do you really think the Lakers are that dumb? Sure we'll take your disgruntled, constantly in trouble problem child and a guy with an obscene monster contract and zero offensive skills for the best player since Michael Jordan, ...
