Jason Terry and J.J. Barea combine to miss 4 of 5 free throws with a 97-94 lead in the final 15 seconds that would have iced the game. Dallas went on to lose the game in overtime, 114-107.
It's hard to write this post, literally because I'm drunk. This game could not have been thrown anyway any more pathetically. Barea topped it off by taking ill-advised shots in overtime that sealed the deal for this team. Barea was three of 10 from the field for the night.
Chris Paul scored 39 points and David West had 25 to lead the New Orleans Hornets to their second victory of the season (2-3). Paul shot nearly 61 percent from the field (14-23) and made three of four from behind the arc. Paul is shooting 64 percent for the season.
JET did have a quality game aside from bricking two free throws. Terry scored 35 points to lead Dallas, making 12 of his 18 shots.
Erick Dampier played well again,(time to get a fat contract from another team after this season and then revert back to the form of sucking for 2-3 more years) Damp was second on the team in points at 16 while also contributing 14 rebounds and 3 blocks on the night.
Rodrigue Beaubois started for Dallas and scored the team's first 7 points. Roddy B didn't do much after that, ending the game with 9 points.
The good news for the Mavs is that they will certainly be healthier when the Toronto Raptors come to town 7:30 pm Saturday, Nov. 7. Josh Howard is expected to be back in action along with Drew Gooden and Quinton Ross.
Dallas in now 3-2 on the season.
