First half observations:
1) This is obviously a different team when Nash is on the bench. He's the only one on the team who's capable of penetrating, which usually results in a basket or a nice dish out to an open player. The Mavs definitely need to pick up another guard during the offseason (STRICK!) to bring some relief to the pg position.
2) Watching Howard shoot jumpers and hookshots is a lot like watching Finley's long-range fadeaways..you just PRAY they go in.
3) Trent got schooled by Mason. I hope he gets some more mins later on, b/c his confidence has got to be hurting right now.
4) Bradley has played well thus far, but his rebounding is really starting to irritate me. He can elevate and reach for the ball, but he has a hard time GRABBING it. He's bobbled and deflected the ball way too many times tonight.
5) Maxwell passes the rock pretty well but the man needs to stop taking so many long-range shots. Nellie should make him shoot a couple hundred 3pters during each practice.
Mavs up 46-40 at the half. GO MAVS!
