The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

The Dallas Mavericks, along with UPS stores, are teaming up with the Marines Toys for Tots Foundation. At all UPS stores customers can purchase 1 dollar donation cards with all proceeds going to help children in that direct area. The Mavericks have set up a donation location on the West Plaze of the American Airlines Center and encourage patrons to donate unwrapped toys or money at home games until the 15th. If you find yourself in the area of the game please donate anythign you can or any amount you feel comfortable with. Remember its for children. Poor children who do not nomrally receive presents.

On to the Dallas Mavericks!
First off, nice job Dallas in defeating the Sacramento Kings. 12 game winning streaks will put some confidence in you. Maybe a little too much though. The Mavs had 3 days off between the Kings and the Washington Wizards and that must have been what threw thier shooting off as well. Washington wanted this win after losing 2 weeks ago in the American Airlines Center but who knew they would be firing up shots with a 60% hit rate. The Wizards magically took a 31 point lead in the 3rd quarter. To give Dallas a little credit, they did come back in the 4th to within 7 points. Win streaks never last but they do not have to end by hitting a wall.
