Don't mind if I quote the late great Green Bay Packers' coach Vincent Thomas Lombardi:
"What the hell's going on out here?!"
Yes, what is going on here? The Mavericks right now aren't looking too good at all. The season's nearing a close, and there's no progress showing by the team. Dirk is maintaining his share of the points being scored, but sorry to say, during the end of a few game late, all of a sudden the shots he'd make earlier in the game won't fall in.
Then at the same time, other players aren't being consistent with not hitting shots or not clearing the boards with the rebounds that are vital for second-chance points and also getting down on the other end to score. The Mavs are one of the best teams in the league in rebounding, but they lack to show that they do in the games.
Dallas is presently in the 8th spot in the Western Conference; the last spot in qualifying for the NBA Playoffs. Lately the Utah Jazz haven't been doing well, sitting there at the 7th spot. The Mavs should use their initiative; start winning these last few games of the season so they wouldn't have to face Kobe and Co. the first round.
Or out of the playoff picture totally, just like their fellow inhabitants on the "cool side" of AAC, the Stars.
And from past experiences with Kobe, those meetings do not turn out very well.

Sean Avery's Hard Head
The most hated player in hockey is at it again.
New comer to the Dallas Stars this off-season from the New York Rangers, Sean Avery doesn't seem to be thankful for anything nor is he in the Christmas spirit. The latest incident of the troubled hockey player now is in another serious situation.
Avery is now suspended for 6 games from a ruling by the NHL commissioner Gary Bettman after comments he made over another hockey player, Calgary Flames’ Dion Phaneuf, who’s dating his ex-girlfriend actress Elisha Cuthbert.
“Mr. Avery has been warned repeatedly about his conduct and comments, which have too often been at odds with the manner in which his more than 700 fellow players conduct themselves,” said Gary Bettman. “Playing in the National Hockey League is a privilege, requiring a high standard of personal behavior. Mr. Avery forfeits that privilege for six games.” [from DallasStars.com]
He’s now going to have to go through anger management counseling, along with other types of counseling he should’ve been through, with everybody knowing how easily he’s ticked off. Here’s the quote of what Avery said in this video:
He clearly doesn't think whenever the mike's in front of him, and he certainly doesn't think about what others might think, as well; overlooking the consequences of his poor decisions. Even his own Dallas Stars teammates don't really feel all that too excited and ready for him to come back from suspension. Another video; hockey analysts weighing in on Avery's antics presently and past.
All in all, another class-less act by Sean Avery.
