The Goods On The Game, Vol. 25, pre-game edition

You know how excited Nathan Jawai is to be able to work out? He couldn' t come down and talk to the grunts before the game because he was up in the practice gym with Eric Hughes and Keith D'Amelio -- working out.

Whadda guy. And, no, he's not dressing for the game. Jake Voskuhl is, though, with Hassan Adams moving to the inactive list again.

Little gamemanship before the game here. Visiting coaches usually give their starters to the official scorer about 90 minutes to tip, hardly ever later than 30 minutes before but Dallas's Rick Carlisle kept his under wraps until the last possible minute, which by rule is 15 minutes to tip.

It all had to do with whether the Mavs were going to start Josh Howard. They are, and he replaces Jose Barea in the lineup; Devean George stats as the small forward.

That's got you caught up. Be back once we start.

Doug Smith's Sports Blog


  • Doug Smith has been a sportswriter for more than 30 years, a journey that's included seven Olympic Games, numerous and varied championships and more dreary regular season games than he'd care to remember. Here, he'll talk about them all, as well as current events and pop culture. (Just don’t ask him about music nowadays — it's not his cup of tea).
