  5 overtime wins by the Mavs this season (5-2) - and all 5 won on the road
  Jason Kidd is the only player this season to have 3 triple-doubles  (Chris
  Webber and Mookie Blaylock have 2)

And to the person who was wondering why Kidd was permitted to still jack up
all those 3s (basing the argument on Kidd's season percentage):
  Through 55 games: 27-133 (20.3%)
  Past 21 games: 31-92 (33.7%)
  Past 14 games: 22-58 (38%)
  Past 2 games: 11-18 (61%)

Jason Kidd on what the rest of the season holds now that the playoffs chances
are almost nil: "My incentive is to win 35 games.  That was my goal at the
beginning of the season.  Everybody laughed and joked and thought I was 
crazy, but we've got a chance to accomplish that."

Dick Motta on reviewing the Houston game: "We've watched it twice (on video),
and it still amazes me.  It comes out the same way, though."

When the Mavs bus left the hotel for the airport Wednesday, Doug Atkinson
forgot that Jim Jackson being along meant the head count of 12 was one player
short.  Lorenzo Williams got left behind.  He took the hotel limo and caught
up with the bus at the airport.  The players teased him that with all the
double-doubles he has been getting, he had to take the limo.  Dick Motta
went one step further and had Kip Motta jokingly fill out a $2,000 fine
slip.  Motta: "[Lorenzo] looked at it, and his eyes got real big."  [Lo earns
the league minimum of $200,000.]

Jackson update: He's running at near full speed, but still gets swelling in
the ankle after workouts.  He probably will not return this season.
