Two things.
Yes, now we are up 22...and the Mavs have never blown a 22 point lead before...right?
I think we'll win fine today, but the point is, it isn't wise to sit your star that long that early, particularly if they are a rhythm player. Because if the other team comes back, and your star is out of rhythm (like we've seen Dirk before), it is not good.
Second, we weren't up 22 the whole time he was resting. He does this against other teams when the lead isn't so big and it ends up biting us in the ass.
