Mavs will miss Stack

All signs are pointing to the end of the Jerry Stackhouse era in Dallas.  If he does go, despite his declining production, the Mavs will be losing a tremendous amount of "want to" and toughness that Stack always brought.

My favorite Stackhouse moment from his tenure in Dallas?

Without question, his hard foul on Shaq in the 2006 NBA Finals.  You remember.

Speaking of the lowly 3-7 Mavericks, with back to back games in Charlotte (3-6) and at now-injury-plagued Houston, Dallas could very easily win their next two road games before returning home Friday to face Memphis (3-7) and Indiana (4-5). Don't look now, but Rick Carlisle's bunch should - should be a .500 team by next week. No, .500 isn't the goal, but they've gotta get to .500 before they can get over .500. The next four games is a great opportunity.
