Good point. If a trade for a shooting guard were to be made at the expense of losing Josh, who we might not even have to give up considering that we have Stack's and then Damp's expiring contracts, it would be important to get someone who can play the 3 as well. Singleton has been tremendous for a couple of games now, but Josh isn't bad either.
While the game itself wasn't memorable, there were some encouraging aspects: JET is thankfully back, Dirk did indeed play "solid", even though that might be an understatement considering his 24/10/5 stat line, Singleton continues to impress, Wright once again showcased the recent improvements he's made as a result of JET's absence, and Kidd delivered his 10,000th assist which, in fact, is memorable. What a sensational basketball player, even at 35. Scoring aside, he feels like the epitome of a safety net for this team.
Still, the true test comes tomorrow. We simply have to beat a Durant-less OKC and can't afford to take it easy again with not enough effort. The Thunder should still have a bad taste in their mouths after Friday's loss and be quite interested in winning this time. Time for the Mavs to play like a gutsy veteran team.
