The champagne isn't quite dry and the NBA lockout is just getting started, but how good does it sound to be already talking about the defending champion Mavericks?

Once a soft, underachieving team that nobody outside the Metroplex gave a dang about watching, the Mavs are now national hoops darlings. With Tuesday's release of the 2011-12 schedule, Dallas is featured 30 times on national TV to match the Boston Celtics for most appearances.

The Mavs begin the season by raising their championship banner Nov. 1 at American Airlines Center against the Chicago Bulls on TNT, and will host the Miami Heat on ABC as part of a marquee triple-header on Christmas day.

In all they play 10 games on ESPN, 10 on TNT, seven on NBA TV and three on ABC.

2011-12 Dallas Mavericks schedule.

Enjoy.

where's the OGW? Bullshit list. (didn't read it, but if it was from RW..methinks I would put Romo and Bobby Carpenter pretty high..cause their the only guys in Uptown than can compete with RW for High priestess of all douchiness! POW!)
1. I don't guzzle cum. 2. Did I tell RW who I was when I met him? No. Does he get on here and interact with us? No. Does he get on his radio station and bash us knowing that we don't listen? Yes. 3. Can he kick my ass? I highly doubt it.
Why fuck basketball when you can fuck me?
Read my list and comment, I am shocked that noone has left one yet. http://www.dallasobserver.com/2011-07-21/news/the-seventh-annual-50-most-powerful-people-in-metroplex-sports/
Hey sloppy, ur spare come fuck me, you can say all the dirty things u want to me. I'm sure you can do sybil anus too, that way you'll feel in a more natural position, like when you 3 way richie and armen
99 percent of the people here agreeing with you only proves my point. Josh's broken shoulder? Dude is about as fucking stupid as it gets. I really think he might be close to mentally retarded based on the stuff he says. And what I say is vile? You little piss ants attack Richie every damned day. This whole comment section is one big orgy for you fucking cum-guzzlers. None of you actually go meet Richie in person and tell him who you are because you're all ten times more fucked up than he is, and he'd probably kick your asses and fuck your sisters.
Here's a sports debate the Rangers are good. There you go now fuck off.
sorry douche, you have not mentioned a sport or athlete in one of your comments anywhere on this blog. You sir are what is considered the trash of the world, you are so vile, people wouldnt even wipe their ass with you. anyhow, Im sure the consensus here would be 99% of the commenters agree with me. Hows your backfat doing
And yet you added nothing to the sports debate. And also responded again. You are disgusting pig. Get a life or throw yourself off a cliff. The world is a worse place because your pathetic, dumb ass is consuming resources.
Hey sloppy, I mean this in the most sincere, honest and hateful way, FUCK YOU. thanks for playing and until you can bring some sporty sports debate, go away.
How many interns does the Fail have?
You don't care, and yet you comment. What a fucking tool. Suck a rhino's ass.
Must be nap (or snack) time at the Peanut Gallery...
Fuck basketball. I has wabbit teefs.
My team ERA is killing me...dead last in it. Oh well, I'm still hovering at #5.
Yes! I called the 3rd post bitches! If only this gave me points for my SFBL team. Meh.
Present......
I feel about the NBA like i do about the NFL, who gives u fuck until the labor dispute is over. 99% of people affiliated with the NBA say there wont be a season anyhow. Oh I think Mayor of Mehville needs to appear as this is super meh
