Chandler was to Dirk what Abbott was to Costello.

Just through the first few games of the season, we keep seeing this odom at the 4, dirk at the 5 lineup. Maybe it was just a situational thing or coming off a b2b but I've seen dirk play C this year more than any other year and it's only been 8 games.

Ian is emerging though and was great last night. Great duo.

spurs
we need another big!

Pretty sure its Carlisle just experimenting with all kinds of lineups, seeing what can work and doesnt work in various situations. Also, probably trying to get them all to gel with each other.

And at the end of the day, Dirk tapped that ass 122-86

Yes sir, and I were you I would play that card all the way until ...May. You guys rang last June but lost this year' le in December when you broke up the core ...but you will always have last June ...ALWAYS.

[Giuseppe]

if dal don't ring come June, we are back to 2nd place tbh.

No. You'll be in last place with 28 other teams.

The Mavs have actually been more efficient defensively so far this season than they were a year ago. They’re allowing 101.8 points per 100 possessions, down from 105.0 last season.

Interesting... doesn't quite suprise me though. The Mavs main weaknesses defensively the past several years has been their poor perimeter defense, with speedy guards able to just blow past their defender. Last year Tyson was able to cover that up a bit, but this year, with the infinitely better perimeter defense, the Mavs don't need a guy like Tyson Chandler to clean that up. Just look at the Heat as an example, as generally had a fantastic perimeter defense last year, without much of an interior presence, thanks to the strong defense from Wade, Lebron, and Chalmers.
