I want to see two things tonight:

1) I want us to come out of the gate hard and strong. Sure it's a pack of pups with its Alpha dog MIA, but by halftime I want there to be no question who is going to win this thing.

2) I'd really like to see Roddy get some meaningful burn tonight. Not just garbage stuff, but some actual minutes. Of course, this becomes a lot easier if we accomplish number 1.

Um... doesn't accomplishing #1 mean MORE garbage time?

An entire quarter or two of garbage time (as opposed to 2-4 minutes) should do the trick...

I am confused. Are we going for more meaningful minutes or just more minutes?

Anyone who plays a quarter or two in the NBA is playing meaningful minutes - this isn't the NFL where an entire quarter can be considered garbage time... I just want to see the Mavs blow out the Wolves in the first half - call the second half what you will, but that much time on the court would definitely benefit Roddy...

I guess what I mean is I want to see him with some real players; ours and theirs. I know we aren't going to put him on the court in a close game, but if we can build up a healthy enough lead early on, maybe we can see him play against their starters and with our starters, even if just for a bit.

What I mean by garbage time is 2 minutes at the end of the game when he is playing with Matt Carroll and meanwhile Dirk, Kidd, and the rest are already halfway to the locker room.
