Why not call a timeout when the Mavs got the rebound from the missed FT? Make sure that either the Mavs get the last shot or run out the clock. It would have been better for the Mavs to run out the clock and get no shot off than get the crappy shot they did and give the Rockets time to get the last shot. Nellie's refusal to call timeouts in these situations is idiotic IMO since the Mavs have such a high rate of screwing it up versus doing it right when the timeout isn't called. Will Nellie every learn or is his head irrevicably stuck up his @$$ when it comes to calling timeouts in this situation?
