Bad luck following the Mavs at the buzzer

Published Feb. 5, 2010 at 9:47 p.m.

Doesn't it seem like every quarter ends with the Mavericks getting beaten for a bucket at the buzzer ... It happened again at the end of the first half tonight as Minnesota's Damien Wilkins caught a pass about halfway between midcourt and the top of the key on the left side, faked, then rose up for a 28-footer and watched it go through the net as the buzzer was sounding ... The 3-pointer pulled the Wolves within 61-57 at the break ... This is a game the Mavericks must win. It's the finale of a

The lead has gone back and forth and the Mavericks find themselves down 45-44 with four-plus left in the half ... Dirk Nowitzki sat the first five minutes and has played since. No matter what you're hearing about other possible explanations for him not starting, it starts and ends with him being late to the pre-game meeting ... The Mavericks did not shootaround in the morning, as is usual, so they could get some extra rest, Rick Carlisle said ... Apparently, it threw Dirk for a loop and he was

Dirk as the sixth man

It hasn't happened in a long, long time. His rookie year, actually ... Dirk Nowitzki's last time to play and not start was 11 years ago, Feb. 14, 1999 ... The Mavericks lost to San Antonio that day ... It's commendable that Rick Carlisle stuck to the rules and kept Nowitzki out of the starting lineup. Hopefully, he would have done the same thing if the Lakers had been in town instead of the Wolves ... By the way, Nowitzki had started 817 games in which he had played, the second longest streak in

mavericks

Published Feb. 5, 2010 at 7:56 p.m.

Dirk Nowitzki will be active, but is not starting tonight, and it's not because of his sore right thumb that he's been fighting for a week ... Nowitzki was late for the shootaround before the game and "rules are rules'' a team spokesperson said ... Nowitzki joked about not missing any games because of the thumb, but he didn't mention anything about being late to a practice ... He'll play as the game goes along, of course. But what if the Mavericks break out to a big lead? It wouldn't be a bad
