Carlisle wants all the blame for Game 1 loss
Up by 7 with less than 2 minutes left on the road in game 1 of a playoff series against the most athletic team in the NBA sounds like a steal for the oldest team in the league, but no. On a last second shot by Kevin Durant, NBA scoring champion for a third straight year, the Thunder get the win. The shot was well contested by Shawn Marion, but got a lucky bounce. Dirk Nowitzki turned the ball over in the last minute to give the Thunder a break-away slam to give them a 1 point lead before Dirk hit two clutch free throws. In short, a lot of different story lines to the game and it's outcome, but head coach Rick Carlisle wants all the blame.During the post game press conference, Carlisle did not shy away from the criticism and even put more on himself. "We should have double teamed [Durant] and got the ball out his hands...blame me", he stated. He is probably right, but hard to argue the defense Shawn Marion played on Durant making the shot as difficult as it was. More of the blame should go the coach for not having a timeout left after he made the shot. There was 1.5 seconds on the clock which in basketball is enough time get a good shot off after advancing the ball. Knowing that he did not have a timeout left, maybe there should have been a set play to run to get the ball in hands of a better shooter than Shawn Marion. The Thunder assumed that Dallas would take a timeout and did not react to the inbound pass until mid-court.
After taking the blame, Carlisle reminded us of the one thing that his Maverick team has over every team in the playoffs this year; age. The Mavericks are the most veteran team in the league, even more than San Antonio and Boston. He says his guys will battle back and "keep coming...guns blazing every game". They have been threw these type of situations before in 12 start years in the playoffs.RF Sports Radio @ 10:30pm CST - Ladell Williams, Tim Duncan, Brendan Wright, Ian Mahnmi, Russell Westbrook

Fans heckles Lamar Odom after loss to Nuggets
Mavs lose to the Nuggets tonight to start the quest to repeat as NBA Champs 0 - 2. For the second day in a row the Champs allow themselves to go down 30+ in a game. Denver's biggest lead of the night was 31.
It was at that point you heard fans react with boo's. Mavs fans in attendance were again going to be escorted early out of the arena without partying in the Old No. 7.
As the team left the court for the locker room after losing 115 - 93 Lamar Odom, who did at least make it the whole game to go 1 of 10, kicked a wet floor sign. Fans that crowded the walkway normally to cheer and take facebook snapshots heckled the players while waiting for Lamar's wife to exit the tunnel. A fans direct comment to Odom saying, "Oh now you wanna get mad?", prompted security to intervene.
Rick Carlisle wants to take responsibility for the Mavs slow start admitting after the game that he does not have this team ready to play. Shawn Marion seems to think that the chemistry is just not there yet saying, "We've still got to get comfortable out there. We're not comfortable with each other on both ends of the floor. We're still trying to learn each other's games...".
Talking with the heckling fan he thinks that blame should start higher up. He feels that if Cuban really wanted to win he would have brought Tyson Chandler, Caron Butler, and JJ Barea back.
The Mavs take on the media favorite OKC Thunder next in a road game this Thursday. They could easily return back to the AAC Friday to face the Raptors 0 - 3.

Watch Mavs Media Day live on RFSportsRadio.comMavs Open Short Training Camp a Much Different Team
Arriving at the Mavs first official practice today one could easily assume that this team never won a title. A small group of media people that were all locally based, no ESPN talking heads, and only 10 basketball players made what should be a huge moment for a franchise with it's first Championship seem normal. Other than Shawn Marion's choice of hair color, the most eye catching issue were the players in attendance. Or the lack of players in attendance. During Coach Carlisle's q and a we learned that Brandon Hayward would be the starting center for the reigning champs. Sounds good on the surface until you realize that Tyson Chandler, the best center in Mavs history, is not on this team. He joins the NY Knicks frontcourt that Jason Kidd pointed out is the same the frontcourt that qualified the USA for the Olympics. Ian Mahinmi will be Hayward's back up for now. J.J. Barea, Deshawn Stevenson, Brian Cardinal, Caron Butler and Peja were all missing as well. So much for the deepest team in terms of talent in the league.Now a team that many thought was one of the oldest in the NBA will have to rely on their youngest players to repeat. A soon as practice was over, the only players that stayed behind for position work were Dominique Jones, Robrique Beaubois, Ian Mahinmi, Cory Brewer, and newest Mav Brandan Wright. Wright worked specifically with Coach Carlisle. The veterans had all the right answers to the missing teammate questions. After all, if you have been in the league for more than 5 years your pretty much numb to trades and free agency moves. The young Mavs know that the weight is on their shoulders. The biggest question is who will start at the 2 position. Carlisle made it clear that Terry will continue to be the 6th man. Most believe that Dominque Jones or Roddy Beaubois will split that time once occupied by Deshawn Stevenson. Talking with Jason Kidd, heading into his 18th season, he thinks that by definition of the position that Jones is more of a 1 and Roddy a 2. Mark Cuban has several moves to make to fill out this roster and only 16 days until tip-off at home against their only true rival, the Miami Heat.

Quotes From Coach Carlisle - Pregame NBA Finals Game 4
Barea starting over Stevenson?
- I'm not gonna confirm that. I release lineups 16 minutes before game.
Brendan Haywoods status?
- He is going to be active
Have you guys been physical enough in this series?
- I think we can be more physical. We've allowed them to get to the rim unscathed too much.
What do you need from your starting unit that you haven't been getting in this series?
- I just think with our team, with the way we're structured, we bring a lot of our better guys off the bench. Right now Marion is playing too many minutes. It's very difficult to ask him to be in a stance and guard the best players on the planet for 43 minutes and hey, go score and do what you do at the other end. That's on me.

Rick Carlisle out for tonights game; Casey in as head coach
Coach Carlisle out for tonights road game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a minor knee surgery. He should return for tomorrow nights home game versus Toronto. Dewane Casey will coach tonight in his absence.
Dallas Mavericks vs Phoenix Suns (PreGame Report)
"Steve Nash is still Steve Nash, but its gonna be a tuff road to compete in the West...were just not big enough", commented Suns head coach Alvin Gentry in an exclusive interview with Royce. The do get Robin Lopez back for this game to add some size.
The Mavs go for 14 wins of the last 15 games, yet still in second place behind the San Antonio Spurs. Dirk earns his 2nd Player-of-the-Week honors in 3 weeks, well on his way to NBA MVP favorite. If the defense can hold up rather zone or man to slow down the Suns penetration and 3pt shooting, Mavs should win.
