Re: Can Dallas suit up enough guys tonight?

["Orion" <johnlyell@hotmail.com>]

We should be at least 4-2 on this trip, maybe even 5-1. I guess I am not
just satisfied with the .500 play when with a few smart plays, and better
substitution,  we could have been 4-2. Did Nowitski have great game, or did
we let him?  Yeah, he was on fire form the outside. I'll give him that, but
he got so many uncontested rebounds due to lack of blocking out. It's not
like he is a Dennis Rodman, Jayson Williams Chamberlain like rebounding
machine. This is just poor execution from our low post players plain and
simple. It's hard to argue with giving up this many boards to a guy that is
not known for his rebounding prowess, and especially when he is spending
half the time out on the perimeter scorching us!

McCarty's shooting air balls and walking of the court laughing. Bring on
Roshown Macleod, he can't be much worse , can he?

As you mentioned we are we are, a playoff possibility, but most likely an
early out. But we should be fat and happy just to make the playoffs right?
