first time this year they've covered? or was that only against non-playoff teams that they were 0-24-1 or something to that effect?

I love Dirk. So unselfish. And he always gives credit where credit is due. I'm very pleased that he gave a lot of credit to Marion.

It was 0 for the last 27 or 28 when favored by more than 4 points at home. I'm not sure if that covers this entire season or not, but it's probably close. It includes both playoff and non-playoff teams, as long as the spread was more than Dallas -4.

They did have a couple in there where they were favored by exactly 4 and covered, though.

jthig32 is on point.

Marion is one of the best AND most versatile ON-THE-BALL defenders in the league today. Most defensive specialists are insidious queers like Bowen, but Marion is just a supercool low-key dude. Gigantic asset to this Mavs squad, especially in their possible upcoming postseason matchups against Melo and Kobe.

As for the rest of the squad, everyone looked comfortable, the ball was moving well, and our team defense is getting better and better.
