GO MAVS!!! Mavs record is... 35-23... 3rd in the Southwest Division, but still 8 1/2 games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder... aka, Kevin Durant ! ( dude played ball for the University of Texas and has scored 25 or more points in the last 22 games he's played... insane! ) ~ Whoa... the Mavs are on a roll! What did I tell you... get past the All-Star break and then they turn the heat up! (not the Miami Heat... so over hearing about them!)  ~ Dirk is now averaging 21.7 points per game. Marion is starting to take some of the pressure off Monte Ellis and become more of a force in the paint. ( "In the paint" - this is the area below the foul line, between the two lines leading to the baseline under the basket... got it? It's the yellow space  on this diagram I found! )   ~ Do you follow the  Mavs on Twitter? Are you on Twitter? I suggest if you plan on taking your new found love for sports seriously, you get on Twitter and start following your favorite players. O

GO MAVS!!! Mavs record is... 32-22, ranked 3rd in the Southwest, 6.5 games behind San Antonio and 2.5 games behind Houston!  ~ They won tonight with Monte Ellis knocking down 23 points and 9 rebounds. Dirk and Monte are leading or team in scoring, but they also play the most minutes. The one thing we still can't figure out... #DEFENSE! It is getting ridiculous!  ALL-STAR WEEKEND : what is this? Well, this is mid-season in basketball, half-time, if you want to put it in football terms. All of the players take a break from the regular season, the best of the best come together for one weekend.  Events include:  Friday Night - Feb 14th Celebrity Game  - click the link to see the Celebs list. This is similar to a Celebrity Golf Tournament. No one expects them to play well, they just throw them out there, laugh and make some jokes! So basically, if you have a spouse, don't ruin your Valentines dinner just for this event. This is one live sporting event that I approve of
