Bradley lacks confidence. He has been told he can't bang around in the middle for so long that now he believes it. Not that he could bang in the middle mind you.
I wonder what't the team's weight training regimen. Bradley and Wang should really benefit from some more muscles.

My bad he's played 9 minutes... but that seems awfully low.

<< I think Candy will get a T or two before the game is over. >>
Plus the refs know they gave him a break and they won't give him another.

2 things the Mavs need to change in the 2nd half is more free throws. The Clippers took 12 to our 3.
And we need more assists. Fin is our leader with 3 and he sat a good portion too. NVE and Nash have 2 apiece.
Esch is picking up where he left off before being injured in the Chicago game. That's one of the arguments we had in favor of him over Bradley. He may not be very talented but he goes out there and tries and hustles. He bangs around, blocks out his man for a rebound, etc...He's making a case for himself to be active for the playoffs.

Kandi has 5 TOs in the half, if he'd pick up his rebounding he could get a pts/reb/to triple double

bradley can't put on weight..he's tried time after time..he was on an insane diet in philadelphia..something like 10,000 calories a day
another bad pass by nash.. i'd like to see dirk get some more shots..
5-8..
well, that's kina the norm though
he's hot, so why should he get shots?

Something is clearly wrong with Nash.

I believe someone on the board reported that Nash had the flu over the weekend. Probably throwing off his game.

Have you ever done any athletic activity after or with the flu? It's a losing battle. I am willing to give the guy a break here. But maybe he should just go ahead and come out.

The zone is starting to give them some momentum. That and letting the hot shooter get a few shots.

the mavs guards have got to do a better job of slowing down guard penetration.. this is quickly becoming the mavs biggest defensive deficiency (which is a long list)

And we go away from him again. It's amazing how our offensive struggles sometimes coincide with his opportunities.

Damn! Is there any 7-footer with better guard skills in the league? I don't think so.

bayliss, that's why i don't understand why he gets frozen out of the offense from time to time (especially late in the games)..but we can discuss that in a different thread
dirk is really amazing in the open court

Why is it that we let Kandi shoot that baseline jump hook every time?
Here's an idea... shade him that direction and force him to helpside.

The problem is that our guards are leaving their man to double-team someone down low, when they go back to their man, it's either to late and they've taken a 3-pointer or why our guys are running out, the Clipper guards are faking the shot and running towards the basket.
Not much they can do.
Nash with the nice basket.
Buck is really playing well tonight.

yes, that is part of the problem mavsfanfinley.. but i don't think it's necessarily a good idea to have nve, fin, and nash on the court at the same time.. they are all decent to pretty good defenders but i would like to see griffin in the game alot more..along with buck
