Articles Are Coming Back.

After about a month hiatus, it is time for me to get back to writing over my Dallas Sports teams. I am very excited about the Rangers season to start soon, and see if they can get back to the World Series. I also am wondering if the Mavericks can make it to the Finals again. Also, can the Stars even make the playoffs? I hope all our teams have success, and I intend to start writing about them again. I do apologize for my month hiatus, but I am back and plan to start writing again.

February 28, 2011: Mavs Fall Short to Nets 93 to 92

The Mavericks fall short this evening at home against the New Jersey Nets by the score of 93 to 92. Mavericks at one point though trailed by as much as 8 points. Jason Kidd's only points of the night was Kidd's 26 foot jumper that came with 48 seconds left in the 4th quarter. The Mavs looked like they had to just scratch and claw to keep themselves in this one. Mavericks had an opportunity with 17 seconds left in the game after Dallas called a timeout to give themselves an opportunity to take the lead. Kidd was the only one to have a shot attempt, and it didn't go in. Though Haywood and Nowitzki had double-double performances, they were outshined by Nets' center Brook Lopez who had 38 points in this game. Avery Johnson had to be satisfied with his Nets squad tonight. The Mavericks next game will actually be tomorrow in Memphis against the Grizzlies at 7:00. Of course no Lamar Odom will be present at least through Wednesday, and I am okay with that. Odom's underachieving is just annoying!

February 7, 2012 Stars Lose to Coyotes 4-1

Stars didn't play well in this game. Even worse Stars captain Brenden Morrow is expected to miss games while he is on injury reserve for the second time this season. The only highlight of the night was the Michael Ryder's goal in the 2nd period. This was a terrible home game for the Stars, and it looked like the Coyotes wanted this game worse then the Stars. What is weird though is that Dallas team statistical wise beat the Coyotes in every category, except for goals. As of right now both the Stars and Coyotes are outside of the top 8 looking in. The attendance for this game was very small on television, but it is reported the attendance was 11,162. The only way I believe you can for sure fill up the American Airlines Center is by winning. Unfortunately, the Stars have been struggling in that category. Their next game will be on the road against the Columbus Blue Jackets, and will start at 6:00 central time. 

Dallas Sports Review February 1st, 2012

Both the Mavericks and Stars played on this night, but only one of them came out to actually play. The injuries for the Mavericks could be one of the reasons why they played so poorly against the healthy young Oklahoma City Thunder. The Mavericks came into this matchup without Jason Kidd from the calf injury, Lamar Odom fighting a stomach bug, and Brenden Haywood with lower back tightness. The final score in this game was the Thunder coming out on top 95-86.

The Stars first game back after the all star game was good, and a pretty healthy squad helped the Stars get a victory over the Anaheim Ducks. It was quite nice to see both Jamie Benn and Brenden Morrow off of injury reserve and helping the Stars win. Jamie Benn came in right where he left off scoring his first goal since the all star break 17:50 into the 1st period. The Stars would go on to run away with this game 6-2. Lehtonen had 33 saves on 35 shot attempts. A great game for the Stars, but it will be interesting to see if they can win tonight against the San Jose Sharks, because they have been struggling on the 2nd of back to back games. They play tonight at 9:30.
