The Oklahoma City Thunder that the Mavericks will see tonight have developed a reputation under salty coach Scott Brooks as a hard-working team that never takes a night off ... When you are filled with 22, 23 and 24 year olds, it's supposed to be easier to get your team revved up nightly ... That's not necessarily an accurate assessment, however.

So shootaround is ending this morning and the players are clowning around and doing interviews or heading to the bus ... Dirk Nowitzki is trying out for the Cowboys' kicking job ... He takes a basketball and punts it straight up in the air. If he'd been under the jumbotron, he would have hit it. But since he was at one end of the court, the ball zoomed toward the rafters -- and nobody was calling for the fair catch ... The ball splatted down on the court and bounced a good 30 feet in the air ...
