The Daily Nickel

1.  Friday Night Corey Brewer Came Out Swinging-  He fouled 5 times in 5 minuntes and missed his two freethrow attempts to go scoreless.  Other than that things went well, as the Mavs stretched the winning streak to 8.

2.  Then on Sunday night The Grizzlies Hit Buzzer Beater to end the streak.  The Mavs gave up more points in the 3rd quarter (41pts) than they did in the entire 1st half (38 pts).  Both Dallas losses in the last 20 games have come by one point.

3.  Chris Davis Tearing Up Spring Training-  Yeah, yeah, we've seen this from him before.  Still it's good to see him acting more like Cruch than Kris (with a 'K').  Nellie Cruz was once a stud minor leaguer that could not successfully transition to th bigs, so we'll aplly his story to every guy that we like that struggles with the major league jump.

4.  NFL Lockout Delayed Again-  We would like to believe that this is promising, but more than likely both sides are just stalling to try and figure out how to spin this thing right so that it looks like the other is at fault for the inevitable litigation to come.

5.  Eight year old Stevo Poulin doesn't sleep with a night light because he's afraid of the dark.  He does it because the dark is afraid of him.
