Rock N Roll.  But it is Game Thread #56!  Not 46!

I'm pissed.  I can't get my wireless working.

TNT just did a small tribute to an employee who recently lost a 21 year old son... you could tell Ernie Johnson actually meant what he was saying.

I'm absolutely shocked that Avery started Dirk on Duncan.  That's idiotic.

They just ran a graphic showing that assist and fast break pts are up with Kidd.  They neglect to mention that points per possession are down.

The Spurs are going under the pick and roll against Kidd.  This is prolly because he can't shoot worth a damn.

Nowitzki just shoved the ref.  Seriously.  Just shoved him.  He was obviously just joking around, but you can't shove a ref, can you?  The ref looked like a big kid just stole his lunch money in front of all the popular girls.

Dude.  Looks like you are all alone on here.

Manu missed a bunch at the rim and got NO calls.  

Dallas did get some calls.  Oh well.

Do you think Doug Collins is having a hard time calling the game with J-Kidd's privates in his mouth?  Or do you figure Kidd's wife has Doug Collins privates in a vice grip?  Get Craig Sager on it.

Re: Game Thread # 56 -- vs. Dallas, Part II
by the way, 2 things that really stick out to me in contrast to what happened last year: In the first quarter Manu had 9 FGA and played 12 min. That would have never occurred a year ago
by my count Manu was 2-3 on bank jump shots, 1-2 on 3's, 1-1 on other jumpers, and 0-3 on layups/dunks

Finley just allowed Howard to go baseline.  If that was Barry, he'd be getting his ass chewed right now.  But it's Finley, so no repercussions.  I'm telling you, Brent's going to PHX for this very reason.

what a shot by Manu! Seriously, the shots the guy hits are amazing. I haven't been able to see too many games lately, so I've missed some of his hot streak. But tonight, I'm seeing what the man can do--even though I know he has had better games and he got off to a rocky start esta noche.

According to Bass, Jason Kidd knows "every spot on the court."  I guess there were spots Devin Harris had never seen.

Re: Game Thread # 56 -- vs. Dallas, Part II
Half time recap:

Duncan and Manu have 35 on 14-23.  The Spurs have only 1 TO are only tied.  Why?  The non-Big Three, who shall from now be none as "The Rest of the Team," or ROTT, are 2-13.  And Brandon Bass is killing us.  6-7.
