This article by Hollinger outlines JET's importance very clearly.
As for tonight's game, it's great that MAVS bounced back from an awful performance but I am really worried about Dirk. He is extremely reluctant to shoot the ball, which could be that he is mentally not into the game (off the court problems perhaps?). And that is the reason for his low number of shots and not the fact that Kidd/Carlisle aren't calling plays for him. I saw him on a number of occasions where he had room to shoot but hesisted and the defenders closed on him.
Let's hope that it is temporary and he comes back stronger than ever. This is the most important stretch of the season for the Mavs and they can't afford long stretches of bad performances by their superstar
