In the season Opener, Mo Williams wanted a make a good impression in his first game for Mike Brown. He scored at will in the 1st and ended up with 20 pts. The same thing can be said about J.J. Barea the 2nd string point guard who had 6 points and 9 assists!
It was close throughout the game both teams were going back in forth just trading buckets. The only difference was Cleveland was going hard in the paint while Dallas was hitting their shots. Nowitzki had a double double and led his team with 27 points and 12 rebounds. Lebron was doing everything he could filling up the stat sheet but it wasn't enough. Dallas sealed the game with some clutch freethrows.

In their season opener, Atlanta started the game with great defense, creating turnovers and turning them into fast breaks. Surprisingly that was just the beginning for Dallas. What really hurt them was Joe Johnson who was on fire throughout the game Making shots and driving to the lane. The game highlighted Terry's biggest weakness; defense. The Mavericks had no answer to him. The bench helped though, shortening the margin put on by the starting 5.
The combo of Barea, Wright, Green, and the rest of the bench had 36 points altogether. In the second half it was a repeat of the 1st except uglier. Howard and Terry were struggling offensively, but at least they injured Bibby, or they thought they did until he came back and pulled a Paul Pierce and took away any hope of winning. Cuban is looking at his options to trade Terry, defense would've gave them a win.

It was a tough game for the Mavericks, it was rough loss last night and then they had to travel from Atlanta to Dallas and play the next day. The guy who really gave the Mavericks trouble was point guard Bobby Jackson. He stepped up due to Udrih's upper body injury that put him on the bench for the rest of the game. Jackson had 21 points 7 rebounds and 9 assists. Kevin Martin threw in 24 points for the King. The Mavericks didn't have a lead until the last 4 seconds where Terry hit the game winning shot. It shook up Cuban's feelings if he shot trade Terry or not.

The Mavericks' Josh Howard step up with 24 points 4 steals and 4 assists and helped start a 14-0 run for the Mavs. The Mavericks almost had a comeback in the 4th quarter but Steve "Franchise" Franchise trying to come back after a disappointing season made sure it didn't happen. The Franchise had 4assists and 14 points including clutch free throws to lock down the win for Houston. Kidd blames himself for fouling Franchise Francis in the waning minutes of the game.
