2010 NBA All Star 3-Point Contest
February 8, 2010 by Matt Lawrence · Leave a Comment
The 2010 NBA All Star 3-Point contest will feature All Star players battling to see who is the best from beyond the arc. This year the 3 point contest will have 6 players including defending 3-Point contest champion Daequan Cook, who isn’t shooting the 3 that well this year.
In the 3-Point Competition 5 ball racks are placed in fixed positions around the arc and each ball rack contains 5 balls. The players will have 1 minute to make it from rack to rack and shoot all 25 balls. Because of the time limit players with a quicker release have a clear advantage.
Below are the participants and their 3-point percentages for the 2010 season so far.
Daequan Cook – 30%
Chauncey Billups – 41.5%
Stephen Curry – 42.9%
Channing Frye – 43.8%
Danilo Gallinari – 40.3%
Paul Pierce – 46.7%
Looking at the percentages you would think that Paul Pierce has a clear advantage, but he is not known as a 3-Point shooter and has a slow shot release. I think Chauncey Billups will win the 3-point competition for 2010.
2010 3-Point Contest – Day & Date: Saturday – February 13th 2010
2010 3-Point Contest – Location: American Airlines Center – Dallas, TX
2010 3-Point Contest – TV Channel: TNT

NBA All Star 2010: Tim Duncan over Dirk Nowitzki?
January 22, 2010 by Matt Lawrence · Leave a Comment
Tim Duncan has been announced as the starter for the West in the 2010 All Star game that will take place at the new Cowboys Stadium. This means that our beloved Dirk will not get to start, even though he is playing lights out this year. The NBA All Star voting has become somewhat of a joke lately, I mean how do people vote for Allen Iverson? the only lasted 3 game with the Grizzlies and finally after a few weeks the 76ers decided to pick him up. Iverson is starting for the East despite the fact that he is having the worst season of his career.
Let’s look at Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan to see if Duncan actually deserves to be the starter for the West. I am in no way saying that I think that Duncan doesn’t deserve to be an All Star. However as you can see by Allen Iverson being voted a starter, and Tracy McGrady almost being voted in despite only playing 6 games this year, something is definitely wrong.

A Night of Chutes and Ladders
October 31, 2009 by Cody Dunlap · 1 Comment
Remember how the Dallas Mavericks lost to the Washington Wizards the other night? The Lakers probably would have liked to play that team.
I understand the Lakers were without Pau Gasol. But that was one of the most impressive wins I can remember for the Mavericks against the Lake Show, especially at the Staples Center.
On the other surface, the Stars continued their woeful play at home with a disheartening 6-5 shootout loss to the Florida Panthers.
Yes, the Stars managed to fight back and earn a point. That doesn’t matter. A home game against the Florida Panthers has to be two points. Are the Sharks going to give a point away there? I don’t think so.
Each game in more detail after the jump.

The “Bleak” State of Dallas Sports?
October 25, 2009 by Cody Dunlap · Leave a Comment
“All of your teams…kinda suck.”
A familiar refrain I hear uttered here in Cutler-world, referring to the curious state of Dallas sports.
There are worse places for sports fans right now (Sorry Buffalo. I know you’re going to have a ton of sympathy for a Dallas fan complaining about his team’s misfortunes.). That much I grant you.
But where exactly can we, the humble Dallas Sports Fans, look to for optimism in these gray days?
