    Offensive rebounds, timely DAL turnovers, and a healthy dose of BRoy and LA. And that FG% stat is a bit distorted because DAL started out 11-11.

    I'm just disappointed Chris Johnson didn't get to play. :(

    Roy/Wallace/Aldridge/Camby to end the game in their natural positions

    That's what I call a finishing unit.

    Roy is not a natural PG. He played it for the last 15 mins of the game. Albeit, Rudy's D on Barea allowed Brandon to save his legs for the O end.

    Chris Webber on NBATV just said he thinks we will upset whoever we play in round 1 in the playoffs :)

    I saw it as Roy playing his old normal role as a playmaker and Rudy playing the role of Steve Blake.

    He has more confidence in this team than I do. With all the good on one end of the floor, we still let a team shoot 60% from the field tonight. Defense needs a ton of improvement, or teams will pick us apart late in a series after the adjustments are made.

    Heh, actually I worry about the same thing. We won't always score as well as we did tonite so our D has to improve.

    I am not a stat guy. Especially this stat. But it was still interesting that Camby was a +13 and Wallace was a -12. Again this stat does not begin to tell the whole story, but it is surprising to me.

    I just finished watching the game. Great win. But early in the 4th quarter, didn't Roy double dribble before one of his drives? They didn't say anything about it but I watched it a few times. He picked up his dribble and then dribbled again. What did I miss?

    There was a non-call travel in the first half that this non-call made up for...? Yeah, it's a reach; we got the benefit of a bad non-call. I can dig it.

    Be careful what you wish for! They are pretty clutch, not tonight though, Dirk was shown up by LMA. And Wallace? Man were lucky to have him on D.

    Amen. About f-ing time! Now if we can get them healthy enough to start together.

    Dallas lost despite a FG% of .597. (We shot only .471.) The last time a losing team shot at least .597 was 2 years and 2 months ago.

    We came close 5 years ago, shooting .591 yet losing to Seattle. But they shot .534 so the FG% difference was much less.

    I give tonight's game ball to Rudy! Not a huge fan of his, but his hustle and blanket defense was a notch above the rest of the nine players on the court. This became infectious and helped to turn the tide in the 4th quarter.

    Great game by the home team, but I am continually amazed at Dirk's shot-making ability. That shot he made out of the timeout when we were up 100-94 was just ridiculous - if you're the defense, you couldn't ask for a fall away, off balance baseline 15' attempt with a hand in the face of the shooter - and he hit nothing but net. WTF.
