Lots of people were hating on Carlisle for his strange substitution patterns with Dirk in the past few weeks... though it be madness, yet there was method in't.

Mavs coach Rick Carlisle altered Nowitzki's substitution pattern, playing him in shorter bursts to try to preserve his wind. It seems to have worked. The extra breaks also enabled Nowitzki to log just 33 minutes in the last two games, his fewest during the current five-game win streak.
