I hope Calderon shows up tonight. Yes he had some good assists and even some passes that should have been assists but he's got to be more aggressive with his scoring. He's definitely got a lot of that Kidd dribble up the floor and stand around and make great passes. Big difference is JKidd was an elite ball thief, great rebounder, and played solid d. He's got to do more while he's on the floor. The offense really didn't pick up until Ellis handled the ball and Calderon stood at the 3. Ellis really impressed with some nice passes but some really sloppy play at times. His quickness and ability to create his own shot is something the mavs have needed. We have a shot creator in Vince but the guy is old. To have an elite talent in his prime for 8 mil a year will likely be the best free agent steal in the nba at seasons end.
